July Weekend

So to start off our Fourth of July weekend Wes and I decided to celebrate our freedoms...

by limiting our freedoms...

and getting a...





Yes, that is right, we got a dog.

She's rather cute and good mannered.

She came with all sorts of things, like food and a dog bed and of course a whole bunch of fleas.

So she had to get a bath right away, so Friday night we spent cleaning a stinky dog...



Then we debated on what the best way was to get her to go to sleep without a cage. We finally decided to just make her lay in her dog bed and we would go in the other room. It worked out well except we woke up several times in the night to find her on the couch! Little Stinker.

Of course the kids were very excited about getting a dog. Jared said, "I've always wanted a dog!" after meeting her.

Novalee, I thought was going to be nervous since the dog is just about her size, but she wanted to play with her right away.

We spent Sunday morning listening to the kids tell the dog to "come puppy," "Sit" (When she was already sitting, poor thing) and the occasional "bad dog!" Needless to say there was a lot of excitement.

Later that day we went to the beach to meet up with family. Or course Meala was now an official part of the family and had to sit next to the kids for the drive.



At the beach we all had a great time!









We even desperately tried to light our fireworks in the rain and wind.







All the excitement made us pretty tired, including the dog.







We hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth too! And maybe even got a little shut eye. :)
