It's official...we're getting a new puppy!

We talk often of getting a new puppy since we lost Sadie.

Well, the time has come!

 We made a trip out to see the pups for a second time.

We have first pick for a female.

 Chad is so excited!

I'm not sure they could be any cuter.

The brothers and sisters cuddling together.

 Palmer did so well!

 Oliver is pumped and has been great with name suggestions.

He likes Darth Vader, Kung Fu and Sadie.

Palmer told daddy which one he liked.

 that one!

 so nice!

save me, mom!

Olivia and Violet came to see the pups too!

 They were ready to bring one home :)

Yes, he is soooo excited!

I think he narrowed it down between two puppies :)

We'll visit again next week and check up on these adorable pups!

Uncle Chris was in town

We were so excited to hear Uncle Chris had some 

business to do in Minot and had a little extra time for us!

We invited Uncle Chris, Gma Pam (his mama) and my rents over for a nice supper.

 We had so much fun!

I made yummy chicken fajitas, tried a new dessert which was a hit and then had a major hockey session after our meal.

 Uncle Chris was pretty serious.

 Oli was in heaven all night!

One on one attention was pretty awesome for Mr. Oliver.

 Palmer loved having him around too :)

 Uncle Chris got a little intense at times!

 I think it was one of Oli's favorite nights this year!

16 month old P :)

Thanks for the wonderful evening!

We really enjoyed catching up and thanks for making Oliver's night super special!

Oliver's second prophy :)

Oliver made us proud with another successful dental appointment!

He made is mama extra proud :)

 Oliver enjoys going to my office,

but he wasn't so sure about getting his teeth cleaned again!

He enjoyed giving Rhonda a little bit of a hard time, but all in all he rocked it!

No cavities and we left with a gorgeous, sparkly smile!

Palmer made sure to show off his pearly whites too :)

Oliver's last day of preschool

May 17th was Oliver's last day of Escuela.

We picked out his outfit the night before because it's starting to become a big deal!

He did a great job!

 Oliver was super excited about this day.

He knew they were having an outdoor picnic and he was in charge of the summer sausage.

I only shed a few tears on drop off.

 I stopped at the park to snap a few pictures of Oli on his last day.

 My little man.

I think they were discussing the kiss!

 Oliver and Miss Margie.

Oliver and Miss Margaret.

Oliver and his favorite...Miss Cindy!

It was a fabulous year for Oliver.  He has grown in so many ways!
We will really miss Escuela this summer, but so excited that he has one more year!
Until next year

Oliver's Spring Escuela picture

It's our favorite so far...

our little man

4 years and 2 months old

how can that be?

Therapy, groceries and fire pits!

We've been busy catching up since arriving home from our big Minneapolis trip!

Palmer has been working hard at therapy.

I think we just do this for fun at the end these days...he loves it!

 We had to do some major grocery runs!

It was Palmer's first time in the car.

I know they are dirty, but it was sure a hit for both of the boys!

 We've also had a few fire pits with friends and S'mores involved!

Wilson and Drew came over for some play, a warm fire and treats!

 Oliver keeps a good distance like mama asked :)

His face says it all...so delicious!
