The girls love to wear our t-shirts to bed at night. We think it is pretty cute, that they are small enough to wear them as nightgowns. One night--I think it was Whitney that started it-- they were wearing them pulled up on their heads and were dancing around!! They were hilarious! They looked short, like half their bodies were missing. I couldn't stop laughing. 
Dodger is about 4 1/2 months old in this picture.
We got him fixed.
He came home wearing this ridiculous collar. He felt so embarrassed. I felt bad for him. He needed to wear it so that he wouldn't pull out his stitches. He did very well with his collar on, except he kept running into walls and would get it caught on the stairs while he was running up.

HI Miss. McKenzie
Did you get a sister for your birthday?
Opening your presents.
Oh Miss. McKenzie. I love you tender hearted-girl. You have shown great strides of growth the past month. Starting Kindergarten has been a good thing for you. I see you being more calm and confident in your ability to solve problems. I see you doing more for yourself and trying new things. You are a wonderful friend and sister. I love your enthusiasm for life and for learning! You have been a great pal to your Daddy--going to lots of Soccer and Volleyball games this fall. Thanks for being my little friend.
O.k. So it is not Hawaii. We really wanted to go to Hawaii for our 10 year, but I was like 3 months pregnant and sooo did not want to experience Hawaii while slightly fat and in the yucky stage of pregnancy. We decided to camp in Jackson and hike Jenny's Lake, instead. Still a trip, but close to home and no bathing suit required. This is us at inspiration point. After you hike around Jenny's Lake, you can hike up another mile to this point. I didn't want to make the climb up there. I wish I could tell you it was soo worth it and that I am glad that I did it. BUT I am NOT, the view was lame. I did it for Scott, who really wanted us to, I love you babe.
Hidden Falls. At the end of Hiking around Jenny's Lake. I LOVED our hike around the lake, it was so beautiful and no bugs!! I love to hike and I hardly ever get the chance. IT was a prefect way to spent the day, in nature, talking and remembering with Scotty as we hiked along. With 10 years of marriage, there are a lot of memories--some good, some bad, some difficult, some wonderful, some exciting. All of them adding up to who we are today. Scott is my best friend and knows me better than anyone in this world. I always feel like he is my other half. We have always been able to talk for hours about everything and nothing, just laughing and talking. Scott can always make me laugh. I get him.
OUR tent. That we pitched in the dark. After going to the BAR-J that night. We also love to camp and never get to. This was our first time camping together, just the 2 of us. It was exciting. An adventure. More GREAT memories.
We got to go to the BAR-J. We got there like 10 min before they were starting and I know that the seats are first come first serve, so I was expecting to sit on the back row. I was fine with that. I have been several times and knew it would still be great ever if I couldn't see that well. But we got a great surprise when they put us on the front row on the left side. Since we we were only a party of 2 we filled in the table nicely. Best seats we ever had.
Us at the BAR-J. This cute little couple asked us to take their picture, so we got them to take ours. They asked us if we were on our honeymoon!! We had to laugh. We told them it was our anniversary. They asked which one and nearly died when we told them it was our 10th. (They were on their honeymoon). Scott and I laughed about it all night.

She wanted ice-cream cone shaped cakes. So I made them.
