Fountain Fun!

We love to go down to the fountains on a hot summer's day for a few minutes to cool off.





He looks like a dinosaur here, but he's really laughing at the fact that he's squirting Michael as Michael is trying to dry off and get warm... What are little brother's for?








Yep, that's snow! Three weeks ago Donner Summit was closed due to snow! Now, it's 90 degrees!




They look like beached seals.

Happy Birthday Jared!

It's hard to believe that my little firecracker Jared is now double digits!!!!! Seriously WHERE does the time go? In the morning Jared opened a few things from us before trotting off to summer day-camp with "Doughboy's Donuts" in tow and 3 dozen donut holes to share.

In the evening after I picked them up and I got off work, we had a little family get together. I made cake and ordered pizza. MMMMMMM





Make a wish....


Did it come true?


Weirdo!


Yummy!



Happy Birthday Jared!!!!!




My MOM got him this... NOT ME!

Our New Puppy!

Last week we officially added a new someone into our home. Since we knew we were moving into a house, I began looking for a good Collie breeder. This is my third collie. I had one when I was little, and one as an adult. I just LOVE the breed! I spoke to many breeders and finally decided on a woman in Texas and bought our little "Duncan" at 5 days old. (The first time I spoke with her he wasn't born yet. ;-) ) Soooooo after many phone conversations, emails, pictures, etc he finally arrived at our airport. A good friend went with me and we were there an hour early and anxiously awaited his arrival.



Here he comes!!!!


He's FINALLY HERE!!!!!



Duncan and Ruby finally meet



I picked up the kids and they were SOOOO excited to finally see him in person. We had narrowed it down to three names and finally after meeting him we decided on "Duncan".



It's so funny how much he has changed in just a week's time! his ears no longer look like this.



Gotcha!!!!!




I just love this little face!
