Our family grows once again!! Welcome Lucy!!

This is our new baby girl!! I know all of you are rolling your eyes and thinking that James and I are crazy, but look at this face and tell me you could just leave her in a pen and walk away!! Well, we couldn't and now this little bundle of clumsy sassiness is the baby of our family. Her name is Tu'Luce, but we call her Lucy and we love her so much!! As you can see her ears are huge and so is her heart. She is the most sensitive, bossy, loving puppy ever! Phoebe and Oz love her so much and can't go anywhere without making sure she's not far behind. Our front window now has one more nose to help smudge it up and our bed is now even more crowded, but we love every minute of it. Lucy is a Basset Hound, so she looks a little different than the Beagles, but the three of them together sure do make a cute little group of babies that James and I are very proud of!! I can honestly say that our lives would be very boring without our babies to make us laugh and keep us on our toes!!

Kash's 8th birthday

I can't believe how big my "little" brother is getting. 8 years have gone and went faster than I can even imagin. I know that I have changed alot since then, graduated high school, tried college, a few jobs, alot of life changing lessons, bought a house, found the love of my life, even started my own little family (hey, just cause my kids have fur doesn't mean they don't count as kids). I have learned alot about the importance of being myself and who my real friends are, including how blessed my life is to have the friends and family I have. That's how the past 8 years have changed for me, but for Kash... so much has changed!! He's 8!!! He's in school and kicking some serious butt in Football!! He loves sports and video games and even calls me to talk about movies he's seen. He's in the third grade, which I remember as one of my favorites and he listens to the same music I do!! I can't believe that he is growing up so fast, it doesn't seem very long ego that I couldn't wait for him to know how to say my name and now he surprises me with what he knows and says!! I love him so much and I really do feel lucky to have such a great little brother!! Here are some pictures from his 8th birthday parties!!
