Bandelier and Olivia

First of all . . . look at those eyes! No color enhancing needed for this picture, it's all Lucas. Second of all, he likes to pretend he is a worm by pulling his shirt over the top of his head and running around like this.


Meet Olivia. She is a keeper. She is about 3 months old and is a shepherd mix. We all fell in love at first sight. She is sweet and loving and really freakin' adorable. And she is willing to go potty in our yard. We are still working on the whole concept of going pee outside and walking on a leash. But she is young and that is what the obedience training is for. We get 5 weeks of free training so I am assuming that they will help us teach her that a leash is her friend.



We went and got her a pink Kong.


Here are pictures of our trip to Bandelier. This is a picture that my 6 year old niece Kylie took of me, EJ, Lucas and Nancy (AJ's Mom).


This is a picture of EJ holding Nicholas. They really bonded and it was sad when they said goodbye to each other. EJ insisted on saying goodbye to Nick even though he was down for a nap when they were leaving. It made us all cry.

Nick and I trying to keep up with everyone. Thank goodness he is finally learning to keep his hat on.


One big happy gang.
