Aspen

Corey has been working up in Northern California for the last few weeks. He really misses having a dog especially now that he is out in the woods. So we decided to get another dog. A friend knew of someone who needed to find a home for their puppy, so we took her in. Her name is Aspen and we have been told she is a white german shepherd mix. We are not sure how old she is, but think she is around 3 1/2 to 4 months old.

Swim lessons

On Monday July 7th Jackson and Donovan went to Larkey Park for their first swim lessons. Even though I grew up in the water and could have taught them myself I knew they would love to be in a class with other kids. They were so excited and couldn't wait to get in the water! There were 3 other boys in the class, but one was too scared to get in, and dropped out after the first day. The other two were pretty scared and would not even get there hair wet, but Jack and Van immediately did and continue to "bob" under the water even when the teacher is not looking, which completely scares me! Jackson in particular likes to bob and hold his breath for as long as he can until he comes up! Hmmm wonder where he got that from LOL. They went 4 days last week and have 4 more classes next week, and are loving every minute of them!
