Our Week

We have had a busy week with all the kids activities, plus a new puppy. Teagan's last week of softball will be next week. And Cade will also have his last game next Friday. Cade's track team finished off the season, with a picnic, and pool party. They had a lot of fun with that. We went swimming a few times this week, but mostly have been dealing with the dog: Roxy. She has been a really good puppy. I have never had a puppy, but she hasn't been that bad. This week she loved chewing on my bathing suit bottoms, and Cades also. She got in trouble for that, then went right back and grabbed my suit again..She got a new kennel (thanks dad) so she has a really big kennel in the guest bedroom. She peed in the house when Con was here, he actually let her out to "go potty" and she did, but he doesn't know she goes like 2 times if she has been in the kennel for a few hours. She LOVES to crawl under my bed, and she likes to eat weeds, she may be part goat who knows. Cades cat Ben10 is okay with the dog, she doesn't hiss at her, but the smaller kittens who are about 6 mo old are afraid. Our new new kittens are about 3 weeks old and Ben10 had 6 of them, so they will be going away soon! They are all so cute! Cade got a call from his kindergarten teacher who is the same teacher Teagan had at Belle Creek! YAY! He goes back to school night Aug 6th, and meets with his teacher the 10th. He starts on the 13th. I already told his teacher I am available whenever to volunteer! She was excited about that!

Next up for us will be soccer, volleyball and swim lessons for Cade. We are all healthy and happy, and if you hadn't heard we are probably moving within the next few months. Its excited, yet scary since I hoard everything!!

Roxy


The last week has been very exhausing...New puppy has tried to chew my flip flops, Teagans flip flops, our dirty clothes, the table, the long blinds at the sliding door, chase cats, pee in the house, poop on Teagans book titled "Cloudy with a Chance of MEatballs" (funny), eat everything on the floor including, plastice wrappers left from kids, toys, stuffed animals, rocks, dirt, and her favorite treat are the dandelions outside that leave her looking like she has a beard. She absolutely LOVES Conley which he gets all annoyed about...She also loves to hide under my bed, sleep next to my bed, since she whines ALL night I gave up the crate until I get a bigger one. She licks the tile floor, carpet, and loves to search for treasures in our bathroom trash cans, lick shower water, and whine when she can't get into shower. She loves the kids, and follows them all over. I have to pull her to go on a walk, she is still 12 weeks, and gets tired easily. I think I have walked 100 circles around my house trying to train her to go outside to pee and poop. Which makes all the neighborhood kids come over because I am outside. Cade starts kindergarten Aug 13, all day, and Teagan 4th grade. More Roxy updates to come...She loves dinner time also, plants her little heart shaped butt under the kids' stools to catch some goodies..
