Charlie

Ok Brandon and I caved. We are NOT big dog people especially indoor dog people. Our kids asked for a puppy multiple times a day for about six months. We told the kids that having a puppy was a BIG responsibility and that they would be the ones taking care of it on top of their other jobs. They still asked. So we told them that they would have to prove they could be responsible by doing all their jobs without me having to ask twice. They did it. So we finally decided that having a dog does teach a lot of important lessons. And we both felt that every kid should grow up with a pet so after a long time looking at puppies and researching them online we surprised the kids. This is Charlie. (Jacks named him). Isn't he sooooo cute? And you know what's even cuter? Seeing your kids play with him and love him to pieces all day long!!



The first day we got Charlie. Note Braden's mean face



He is seriously about as big as a pop can. So fun and cute

Brady

Can I just say I LOVE this boy!! He makes me smile and giggle. He doesn't want to be left out of anything. If he sees his older brother or sister doing something he wants to be right in there doing it with them. He is really pretty coordinated and can do a lot of things most 2 year olds won't or can't do. So the other day I let the kids get their pool out. I knew that Braden needed a nap in the worst way but there was no way he was going to let me put him down- he didn't want to miss out! So I let him skip his nap and swim. He had so much fun with his big bro and sis and all their friends. When it came time to clean up I brought Brady in set him up to the bar and gave him a snack. I told him I would be outside cleaning up and I would be right back in. When I came in a few minutes later I saw this..........



It made me smile and giggle inside!! I love being a mom!!
