The Ultimate Valentine's Day

Meet the newest member of our family...

WE'RE GETTING A DOG! Sierra hasn't stopped smiling. (Check out her blog http://www.sierrahymas.blogspot.com/ and look at the cocker spaniel comments to see how she found out...) Skyla was literally hypervenelating.

She's the cutest little dog I've ever seen. David has officially won "Dad of the Year". (Especially since he's letting us
keep the iguana too...) It's so unexpected and exciting!!! We have always said we're not getting a dog while we're here but this little dog just stole our hearts! It's the same kind of dog David had growing up. I told him it was a sign that we needed that dog and he replied, "Yeah, a sign from the devil." :) But look at his smile (he's holding the one we're getting) and you know he's all talk. The puppy is just 4 weeks old now, so two more weeks! The girls are never, ever going to forget this Valentine's Day.

Those little puppies are so adorable! I can't believe you guys are actually dog owners!! We are NEVER going to hear the end of this! :)

And I can totally picture Skyla hyperventilating! She's so cute!

Amazing!!! Two great pets! In Ecuador, there is an incredible "Iguana Park" just full of them--big and small. An amazing site; in the middle of a big city. WHat a precious dog. SO, are you bringing the new pets to Utah? Shauna will be here on Monday too, so we all should play!!!

Oh my goodness! I could cry! Those are my favorite dogs!! I don't think we will EVER break Tom down for a dog, it's lucky we have a cat! Can't wait to see you!!

P.S. That was a scream of excitement, in case it was misinterpreted otherwise :)

Siena is as green as Guana with envy! He is such a cute puppy. We can't wait to hear what he'll be named and all your new adventures as dog owners.

Yeah! So cute! What a fun day for your kids! What will you name your dog?

Cindy said...

SO cool! Your kids are going to love having a puppy (Scott and Landon are very jealous!!). For good pet advice you can check out my Dad's vet site www.laservet.ca. Can't wait to meet the little guy :)

She is adorable! And I love the way the news was broken. I am *not* showing this to Mabel.

Mindy, just a little heads up on cocker spaniels. They are the cutest little dogs - I got one after college. The only down side is potty training is a BEAR because cocker spaniels are not the brightest pups. Oh and they tend to leak urine when they get excited. SOOOO cute though!!! Lucky kids!
