It was time to say goodbye

On Monday this week we had to say good bye to our old girl Izzy. She was the sweetest dog that never did listen. Even at ten years old she still pottied in the house. But we loved her still and it was hard to let her go! On Monday night Addy asked where Izzy was while we were eating dinner (Izzy was always there to pick up the scraps) and I told her she went to the moon....Addy loves the moon so I knew she would know what I was talking about if I said that. Later that night Addy said "Izzy...moon??" and I said "yep that is right." Luke had a hard time because Izzy has been here his entire life but he understood that she was in pain and it was time. We miss her and the house in not the same without her but now she is with her best friend Dignon. I'm sure they are having the time of the life! Let me tell you losing two dogs in one year has been the hardest thing this family has ever had to go through and I am glad we won't have to go through this pain for a long time.

We now have just Sally and Rosco and they are great fun and we love them so so much. I know our family will always be missing the original two but it is nice to know that we have two others that love us like they did.

Goodbye! We loved you so!


The two lovers during happier time

Where have you been??

I know this is the question you have been asking yourselves. Where has Ariel been and why has she not blogged for a month? Who knows really? I've been around cooking, cleaning, baking, being a mom and wife, and oh and I also do that thing called going to work. I have not posted pictures in a really long time so here you have it....pictures of the kid and one of the new pup. Aren't they both the cutest??

On another note I am pretty stoked that it is finally fall and I can wear my sweaters and what not. It is beautiful and perfect outside most days and I wish this weather would never ever end. I am excited for halloween! We decorated and I just want to decorate more! Today we went to the DI (thrift store) and bought Luke his costume, he is going to be an orphan, It is going to be pretty rad! I hope everyone is enjoying fall as much as I am! Enjoy it while you can for it will be gone before we can say "Harry Potter." I think I said that because the new Harry Potter movie comes out in a month...or I am just in a weird mood. Who knows?

Happy Birthday Luke!!

Today this funny little boy turns 9!! I seriously can not believe it. What happened to that cute little chubby toddler that used to ask so many questions.

Luke- You are the absolute best son any person could ask for. We all love you so very much. You make us all proud. You make us all laugh. But most of all you make us all love you. We can't help it!! You're just too wonderful.

Have a happy happy birthday little man!!

Love you!

Another funny video

Oh this was a good laugh.

I am finally back to work after having almost a week off. It is kind of weird. No I was not doing anything fun unfortuatly. Addy was sick for a fews days so I have been taking care of her. I loved being home with her but I wish that she was feeling good so we could have done something fun and exciting but oh well that's life!

such a funny video

Seriously I just laughed out loud when I watched this. So funny!

Oh boy camping fun

Here are some pictures from our family camping trip last weekend. We had sooooo much fun! I loved camping with the kids they were both awesome. Addy slept in the tent great.....we all did including the two dogs!! We ended up taking our old dog Izzy with us. She is super old and probably shouldn't go camping anymore but she had a lot of fun I think....the first thing she did was go swimming. Sally our new dog was awesome! Love her! For those of you that don't know we recently had to put our other dog to sleep so it was really hard not having him there camping with us. Dignon was the best camper dog ever! We miss him too much! Anywhos we had a lot of fun and would love to go camping again soon.

Picture overload! Enjoy :)

Do you ever......

Do you ever look at back at your blog posts? My friend Amber was doing that today and it made me want to do it. I went through and looked at all my posts over the last couple of years. It is crazy how much we go through in life and how much our lives can change in just a couple of years. I love my life and I love my little family and I am glad that I started this little blog so I can look back at our lives and remember all the good times.
