Jayden has been asking us for a puppy for over 2 years now and we always knew we wanted to get one for the kids, but just wanted to wait until the boys were a little older. Corey and I both grew up always having dogs, so we know how much fun they are for kids. I have been looking for older dogs for sale on craigslist and at the humane association, but usually found out they weren't good with small children. I finally found one on craigslist in Eau Claire that was 5 months old. She is a beagle terrier mix and is so cute! She will probably only get to be about 20-25 lbs and is so cuddly! She lets the kids pick her up all the time, licks their faces, and doesn't seem to mind the kids being rough with her. We named her Camie. Here are some pictures.
We brought the kids to the Pleasant Valley pumpkin patch last weekend and they had so much fun! They had a ton of fun activities for the kids, a petting zoo, bouncy house and even a hayride! We went with my Papa & Grandma Karen, and my sister & her family. The kids really enjoyed it and we had beautiful weather.
I am a little late on posting this, but the boys started 3 yr old preschool last month and seem to really be enjoying it! They are learning their letters and numbers and are talking so much more! They love wearing their backpacks, because they feel like such big boys. Here are some pictures from their 1st day of school.
