Maisy's Puppies - born April 1, 2014

Our sweet labradoodle Maisy has had her first litter of babies. She had 3 babies - all boys!

We got her back from the breeder a few days after the delivery. Everyone was so happy to have her home and see the new puppies!

Maisy and first 3 puppies - April 4, 2014

Before Maisy left to go deliver her puppies, Emma was so sad to see her go - she wrote a sweet message for the breeder (Lanie) to read to her every day! :) such a sweet girl...

  More puppy pics taken on April 10th.

Brody (named by Emma)

Pepper (named by mommy)

Rex (named by Sammy)

After a couple weeks upstairs, we found we needed to move the puppies to a bigger and more open space. The baby pool in the laundry room worked for a few more weeks. Maisy is such a good mommy. 

It wasn't too much longer when they started to need their own food! Then it got interesting!

Then they had to have their own "area"! Geez, they were so Cute and Busy! One of the best parts was when they all started wagging their tails when they saw us! Pepper was the first one to escape and try to have run of the house!

Here's Brody (Emma's friend) holding Brody.

We loved 'em all but I really liked the black one the best. :) Can't wait til the next litter! 

Spring Break 2010 - Disneyland!

Found this post in the drafts...written in 2011...just a few things have happened since then! Lol!
Well Celeste got married almost a year ago on the Saturday of spring break and we HAD to go and be there! It really didn't have anything to do with the fact that she happens to live about 20 minutes from Disney Land! :-) Ok maybe...

Emma at the wedding. Don't know how to make it turn right.

Sammy was pretty cute too. He really likes his tie.

Then it was off to Disney the next day! Our first ride was the Dumbo elephant ride. It only had about a 45 minute line to wait in.

and that's all I had...guess I got sidetracked after that for a few years. LOL!

Sammy's T-Ball days

Sammy was on the Red Sox T-Ball team in the spring season. He looked so cute in his little uniform!

Unfortunately, he did not like to have the shirt tucked in. He also really didn't like going to the games and playing on the field much...

Here's one of the times he was up to bat.

Looks like he made it to 3rd base and it was fun! Probably because it was almost time for the game to be over and snack time!
This is about the time he started liking baseball...when it was over! :-)

Sammy and the coach. Sammy looks so happy to get his trophy!

FBJSL Pancakes & Pajama party

In February, we went to the League's pajama party for kids and had a fun morning. Emma & Sammy liked the musical chairs book game the most. They played for a while and won several books. Awesome to win prizes!

What chair will be the winner this time?

Choosing books.
And the winner is Clifford!
Would Sammy look at the camera? Ummm no.

Emma danced outside to the slide, cha cha song!

Making sand crafts. We were here a lot too!

Riding the bucking bull! Yee Haw Sammy!

Daisy Scout Emma

Emma was a Daisy Scout for her Kindergarten year. She loved it! She loved going around and selling the cookies, going to the meetings and doing the activities that she needed to do to get the daisy petals. Sammy liked being a part of the picture taking for the girl scout cookie sales too! He kept jumping in the photo and wouldn't let me get just one shot of Emma...if I wanted him to be in the picture though, he would be hiding under the table, behind the chair, etc. :-)

Finally!

For one of the meetings and to earn a petal, the girls had to make something useful out of trash.

The bear means that it is your turn to talk. Emma made a noise maker with an old vitamin bottle and a pencil cup holder from a can. She really wanted to give the pencil holder to her teacher at school, so it ended up being a gift!

Emma volunteered to bring the snack for one meeting and had so much fun making little bags of fruit and handing them out to the girls at the meeting!
