Well, some bad news hit us pretty hard; Ol' Lily, our little dog had to be put down. She was getting old and became very sick with diabetes. It happened very fast. Once she lost her eyesight we could tell she was just in a lot of pain and decided it was best to let her go. She was one in a million and I don't think we'll ever have as good pup as ol' Lily.
Owen graduated from preschool. We can't believe our little boy will be in Kindergarten next school year. The time has really gone by fast.
One of our neighbor's hens decided that under our porch was a good place to lay eggs. We had been watching her for weeks and then finally two little chicks broke loose and ran around the yard. All in all, there were probably about 20 chicks from the nest!
We also went on our annual vacation to Mesquite. We stayed for a week. We swam in the pool, played video games and air hockey in the arcade and had some fun losing some money. According to Dad the highlight of the trip was seeing the new Star Trek movie, but Owen thought it was the water slide at the pool. Mom and Cooper just enjoyed hanging out.
We also fund time to go to Lagoon. Luckily, Carrie's mom gets discounts from O.C. Tanner, otherwise, it would be too expensive to go! Owen had fun on almost every ride, but he said that Rattlesnake Rapids was his favorite. Cooper just enjoyed the shade of the stroller and ended up taking a nap or two. Next year, he'll be able to ride a few rides with his big brother!
But basically, we're just hanging out, enjoying having Dad home (one of the perks of teaching is having the summer off) and just having fun. We're doing our best to stay cool playing in the backyard and swimming.
