Welcome Home Izzy-Dog!

It was the morning of General Conference which we listened to on our way down to Cabela's in Lehi. This was where we met the family that had our little 7.5 week old puppy. The family from whom we bought her (for $150) were from Nephi and the parents along with 4 or so kids came along. The kids handled giving her away really well - no one even batted an eye when she left which would have been totally different if they had been my siblings several years ago. When we put Izzy in the car, she was terrified and naturally one of the first things she did in was pee - thank goodness for potty pads.

Austin's First Easter!

March 30, 2013 marked the day for Austin's first Easter egg hunt. We took him to the hunt in Aggie Village on the MASA field which is between all of the apartment buildings. I was really glad that they divided the age groups and that there was one for the 0-3 year-olds, because our goal for that morning was to get ONE egg. When they blew the horn I ran Austin to the nearest target and set him on his tummy right in front of a green egg.

Merry Christmas 2012!

Austin really timed his birthday advantageously so that he will receive gifts semiannually on his birthday (June 25th) and on Christmas Day (December 25th). In the couple of months leading up to Christmas we discovered, however, that Austin might be a little apprehensive about the upcoming Christmas Holiday. On November 10th we noticed that this is how Austin would react to the cheerful phrase "Merry Christmas!"
