Weekend Fun

We started off our Friday evening by surprising the boys with a dog! They both LOVE dogs and Brycen has been begging for one. We have been telling him we had to wait until next summer b/c of all the mud and no grass, etc etc... He still asked pretty much every day about a dog. We have had a dog pretty much his entire life until his Izzie got hit right before we moved out of our last house. Anyway, this doggie's family sold their house and had to move and had no place for her. She is about a year a half. Half Lab/Half Husky, but def. more husky I think. She's outside, but is VERY well trained- she doesn't offer to jump on the boys (or anyone). She is soft and gentle with them, but still very playful and loves to play ball and run (which B loves!). A big woods and 2 sweet boys are the perfect home for her- she is the perfect fit for us! We are sooo in love!

Seeing daddy drive up with a doggie in his truck...

Brycen kept saying, "Where did it come from? Whose is it?"

He couldn't believe she was ours :)

Corbin laughs when Bella licks his face.

He will lay his head on her back and pat her and say, "Aw Yella, Aw Yella".

He stands at his window and hollers for her and knocks on the window until she comes to his window and then he says, "Yella, side" (Bella, outside).

Then he precedes to bring his shoes to us and scream if we aren't going outside! lol


We were in the basement working yesterday afternoon and we kept having to remind Corbin not to climb up the stairs. We left the basement french doors open so Bella could run in and out and be with us and she would run in and run up the stairs to the door that goes upstairs- Corbin would walk over to the bottom of the stairs and point and shake his chubby finger at her and say, "no no no yella!" lol!

Bella :)
She's so pretty.
Playing ball with Bella :)

Best Friends-

Brycen has already brushed her about 10 times (She sheds like crazy unfortunately).

She also thinks she is a lap dog. We sat down in lawn chairs outside and she jumped right up on our laps :) lol

Friday evening Brittany & Ricky and Chelsey & Ryan (and Kenzlie, Kayden, and Blake) came over to hang out. We had snacky foods (Chips and Dips, BBQ Weinees, Little sandwiches, and Brownies). We ate and just hung out while the kiddos played. Brycen was excited to have Kayden to play with outside-- but since they were outside pretty much the entire time (or in the basement making a hide out) I don't have any pictures of them.

Corbin and Kenzlie are at a great age- they are hilarious! They really play so well together!

They got in his crib and didn't want to get out (literally screamed and tried to climb back in!) lol.

Playing Peek A Boo with his blankie :)

They would just look at each other and laugh which cracked us up too!

Brycen finally got to bring his 4Wheeler to our house. It was still at my parents in storage. He was so excited.

We were impressed that a year really improved his riding skills!
(He is much too brave for my liking)

BUT He is at least focused on the task at hand now and has good control over it.

Boys and their toys!

We had a fun weekend and enjoyed the nice weather.

We were outside pretty much all weekend and it was wonderful even if we spent a lot of time working on house stuff!
