Update

It doesn't seem like I have any time to post anymore.  Summer is way busier than I expected it to be.  Here are just a few pictures I have taken recently.

Easton loves animals and all he wants to do all day is hang out with his 'buddies', as he likes to call them.  He loves my in-laws dog Foxy.  He is always sitting on her, playing ball with her, and they follow each other around all day.  He also loves the goats.   He loves to ride the mother goat and she'll buck him off and he laughs and gets right back on her.  Easton is also the only one in the family who loves the cat.  None of us dare to touch it because it is always dirty and has wounds from fighting with other cats, but Easton will hold and hug the cat all the time.

Here is a picture of Brynlie's Kindergarten program.  They sang songs and did a cute little dance.  Rylie also had a program but it was more of a play and we only got video of it.  She played Goldilocks and did a great job.

These are just some random pictures of my nutty kids.

We thought that since Easton loved animals so much that we would finally get a puppy.  I don't know what we were thinking.  I forgot how much work puppies are.  He is a chocolate lab that is named Bear.  He loves to swim with the kids and loves to bite.  He is an adorable puppy but an evil one.  He has dozens of chew toys and bones but he has to go after all the stuff he shouldn't chew on, like shoes, chairs, the kids legs, Eastons $90 Strider bike seat.  I almost wanted to strangle it after the last one.  I know it is a puppy and puppies bite stuff but I think this one does it more than any dog I have ever seen.  You can't even pet it without it biting you.  The kids and I all have holes in our clothes because it will grab a hold of our shirts or pants and won't let go.  Porter doesn't think it is that bad but he isn't around it as much as I am and when Porter is around, the dog is good and will listen.  I think this is going to be a long and hard training process.
