Bella

Meet the new addition to our family...Bella! She is a Labernese - half Lab, half Bernese Mtn dog. We know we are little crazy to add another dog into our family but we just fell in love with these puppies and thought Wally really needed a playmate. Dakota "puts up" with Wally's crazy playing but she is a few years older than her and she really isn't up to his energy level like we thought she would be. Bella has been a great addition. She has taken to her kennel well so she is kennel trained now and is very much on her way to being completely potty trained. She is full of life but has a super sweet demeanor and she loves to cuddle. She has the biggest paws so we are sure she will be a rather large dog...which really excites Ben.



Vegas

For our 6 year anniversary this year we went a little weekend trip to Vegas with a couple of our best friends Jason & Carly. They were also celebrating their anniversary of 4 years.

Our hotel room at the Aria.

Lemon drop martini = yummm


Looking up at the Aria hotel from the street.

We hung out by the pool most of the day.


This was our cabana.

Ben & Jason...cool glasses!









There was a pastry shop in our hotel. This was our snack one afternoon. So good!

We had a great time and it was so nice to get away and spend some much needed quality time together.

Growing

Hailey is growing so quickly. She really enjoys being the Exersaucer now. She is also rolling all over the place and now is choosing to sleep on her belly at night. Hailey has started eating rice cereal and we started squash this week.


Her face says it all..."my brother is loud!"


Taylor has stared talking to Hailey and telling her all sorts of things. He seems to love showing her what he is doing. They are so cute together.


This was Taylor before church a couple weeks ago. He found a broom and was sweeping the lawn. He loves being outside every chance he gets. Taylor is also talking all the time now...telling us stories. We are still trying to figure out everything he says but we can definitely understand more and more.

Family Pictures

We have family pictures taken at the beginning of August.
