I Cant Believe It


I cant believe we are doing this, but we are buying a dog!!! This is the dog. His name is Milo. He is a goldendoodle (a golden retriever/poodle).
Last week we were looking at the KSL adds and I told Bryce to look at the dogs. I love looking at all the little puppies...even though I wouldn't dream of buying one. We started to talk about what kind of dog we want. Bryce wants a big dog. I want a little dog that doesn't shed and that doesn't poop. So we looked at big dogs that don't shed (I gave in to the poop thing). That is when we found goldendoodles. They have the temperament of a golden retriever but the hair of a poodle. We found puppies up in Roy and we went and looked at them. They were really cute, but from advice and thought I decided I couldn't have a baby and try to train a puppy. Thats when I looked on the internet and found Milo. He is a one year old. I fell in love with the picture of their baby sitting on Milo (above). We met them at a park and played with him. He is a great dog. He is trained pretty well. He did really well with their two year old boy. The reason why they have to give him away is that they had to move into a town home and they don't have a yard and she has to go back to work. I could tell they really love him they just want him to have a better life.
After much prayer and thought we decided he is the dog for us! I know that it is going to be tons of work. I also know that dogs are such a good thing for families. I loved all the dogs I grew up with. I know my mom and Bryce's mom worked so hard to give our families the opportunity to love dogs. I feel Like I owe it to my family also. We are picking Milo up on Friday...So if you have any bit of advice tell us now...or forever hold your peace.

How Cute!


This is what Bryce has been looking forward to since Calvin was born!

What a Performance!




Last night we had the opportunity of going to hear my brother Daniel perform at Assembly Hall for the Federation Honors Recital. He did awesome! He played Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin. He played it perfectly! Calvin and I met My mom, Laura and Daniel downtown during the day. It was fun to hang out! Daniel is an awesome uncle. He loves Calvin. Thanks for hanging out with us Daniel!

Arizona!!




So I know it has taken a while for me to post about Arizona. I forgot to take my camera so I had to ask Laura to send me some. The first night we got there we went to a melodrama (a play where you hiss and boo at the bad guy and cheer for the good guy)at "Gaslight Theater." If you ever have a chance to go to Tucson, this is one of the best places to go. It is tons of fun. The plays are usually westerns. Calvin loved the lights and the music. We were right on the front row. The actors kept on winking and waving at Calvin. It was fun. On Saturday we went to the Zoo. It was fun to walk around in the 80 degree weather (I really needed that). Sunday was Easter. The Easter Bunny (my mom) gave Calvin an outfit and two really cute books. Sunday night I came down with the stomach flu, but I was really lucky to have all my nieces there to "volunteer" to watch Calvin. They are great babysitters! We came home Monday after we sat by the pool. Thank you Bryce for our wonderful trip. We missed you so much and are glad to be home with you. Calvin and I love you!
P.S.The pictures are of us at the zoo and Calvin wearing the cute sun glasses Izzy gave him.
