🎉🎉 Happy 4th Birthday to our NovaLee! 🎉🎉

She is our trusty girl that lives for her ball. Her favorite game is trying to fit two toys in her mouth at once! This girl will do anything you ask of her, she loves people, and loves to please. We 🩷 our Nova!

What a week. After two weeks off of work and school for Christmas break, it was time to go back. Cliff and I took a quick trip to Las Vegas. We spent time with friends, ate good food, laughed our butts off at a comedy show, and had the opportunity to take a helicopter over the Grand Canyon and land on the canyon floor. It was majestic and endless and absolutely beautiful.

The dogs missed us and have slept and followed me around since I’ve been home.

Keegan’s friend from school was in a fatal car accident on Monday. The funeral was today and it’s been hard on a lot of the students and staff at school. Keegan feels things very deeply and has had a tough week on top of us being gone. It was very difficult for both us and him because the accident was the same day we left.

Do you remember my mom’s dog Ramsey? He was my dad’s buddy before my dad died. He would watch out the window for hours for my dad to come up the road in his semi. Well, Ramsey is believed to have a brain tumor and has seriously declined this week. My mom is devastated to be losing this piece of my dad.

A 6 year old little boy from our hometown is losing his battle with cancer. We are keeping them in our prayers knowing how difficult it is to be helpless in saving your child’s life.

On a positive note, the girls had a great week. We are looking forward to a quiet weekend and swim meets next week.

Welcome 2025….🤪

What a great day to celebrate the first birthday of Ferguson’s first litter! These puppies are all absolutely beautiful! But more importantly, they have excellent temperaments and are so so loving! I love them all and wish them the very best day!

Merry Christmas from our pack to yours!

Kiyah had a checkup at DeVos today, so we took a few extra minutes to go see this little lady since she lives nearby. Sloane is doing SO WELL with her family! She is in training, loves to go on walks, and really, really loves sharing toys with her pal Mo!
She is as beautiful as ever and it was so so good to see her! I could have snuggled her all day! 💗

Oh Happy Day!

You all know how I LOVE seeing our puppies as they grow! Tucker is local so I get to see her often, but it’s super exciting around here because she gets to stay with us for a little vacation while her parents are in Florida!

She was so happy to see Ferguson, play with the kids, and of course snuggle in my chair with me. It’s been her go to spot since she got here!

One thing I have learned- these puppies all have a very similar temperament and personality. They are the most loving group of dogs I’ve ever met. Just like my Perfect Girl!

Be prepared for Tucker Overload this next week!

Remember a few weeks back when I told you that I was so excited about something? Well, it’s time to reveal.

I took a new position at our local high school, and my office is quite large. One of my favorite parts of the job is walking to the office. The art showcase is in the hall on the way, and daily I stop to admire the incredible artwork of our students.

There was a blank walk in my new office with 4 screws. I immediately knew what I wanted to hang there. So I spoke with the art teacher and explained my vision. He tasked 4 students to draw my dogs. Each one is drawn by a senior student and drawn in pencil. Here is the incredible result.

What a busy couple of weeks!

Here’s an update: Keegan finished his soccer season in the regional semi finals with a loss. A loss is fine, but this one was difficult for a couple reasons. First, there were a few calls (or lack thereof) that had a real impact on the game and the team. One in particular was a goal that was called back and was fair after film review. Second, it’s his senior year and it was tough going out knowing they could have advanced.

Ozzy finished her first cross country season with a strong finish. She ran some tough courses and we are looking forward to her running career in the years to come!

Kiyah is always such a good cheerleader for her siblings. She had her moment with a fun run and won first place for the fourth grade girls! We had donuts with grown ups and enjoyed some cider with it.

In the midst of all this busy, Ferguson is shedding her coat. We are doing a lot of brushing these days!

I’ll try to keep stories more updated now that things have slowed down. For now…because swim season is fast approaching! 🏊🏼‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏊🏼‍♂️🏊‍♀️

These lovebirds are right in the path of Milton.

A few things I am thankful for…

💧They are inland enough that the storm should weaken by the time it gets to them.

💧An aunt and uncle who are seasoned Floridians, and are willing to allow them shelter and power through the storm.

💧Friends who pray for my kids. ❤️

💧Knowing God is in control.

💧Excellent training for Landon as he will be essential to restoring power.

Would you pray with me for Karly and Landon’s safety, and the safety of others through this storm? And especially for Landon as he works as a lineman in this mess. ❤️
