This is our new puppy Xena! (we couldn't get wes to sit in a pic) We totally weren't expecting to get a doggie this fast but it just happened. We knew we wanted a yellow lab next. Kevin was at the hunt club and saw these puppies on the board and they were born on his birthday. The boys are so exited to have her!! I can't believe how much Andon is adoring her. He constantly wants to be with her. He even asked us....ummm...when you guys get older and die...can I have Xena...u know....so I have a companion. That boy.....always thinking ahead I guess ;o)

ANDON:
Andon is all ready to start school tomorrow. We had his orientation yesterday and he got to check out the class, bus, all the kids. He can't wait!! He saw so many kids he knew and is really looking forward to start K5! I told him I might cry again but I hope not. He said...if your going to cry can you please do that in the house...hahaha! I can't believe how fast the boys are growing. It's amazing to watch them but at the same time it's sad. I had off yesterday and me and the boys had such a fun day together! Andon was acting so grown up. When his brother was upset in the car he kept trying to make him laugh.....too cute.
We took the dogs and kids to the hunting trails yesterday (to wear them both out...haha). It was so much fun. I'm so mad I didn't have the camera!! The image of the boys running down the trail with the dogs was adorable!!! Andon caught a frog and it peed on him....haha. Wes was hunting hard but didn't catch one. Good thing his big brother shared. Later we found a caterpillar but we forgot our bug box! We plan to go back often. We didn't realize how much fun the boys would have just walking the dogs.
We are also starting to plan his birthday party...he wants a Halloween themed party ....how fun...hopefully all the cousins can wear their costumes. Next year he's going to have a friends party again :O)

WESTON:
Poor little Weston has been struggling with ear infections since he was a baby. He's had a bad one since early July. He still tries so hard to be his happy, adorable, funny self. The ENT suggested he have his adenoids removed. They are very large and causing a lot of bacteria which they think is causing the chronic ear infections. The poor peanut has had 6 of them since the tubes were inserted. He fights us soooo hard to take medication. It usually takes the two of us to hold him down...it's horrible....he gets a popsicle after we do that ...I don't care if it's morning...I feel so bad for him. He LOVES popsicles.....orange ones...haha. We've been having to drive him around every night to get him to sleep. The little stinker pulls out his drawers and and stands on the top drawer, pulled his dresser over, pulls out everything out of every drawer, diapers all over, every single wipe all over the room....every night is something...haha. We sure hope its just a phase...haha.
We thinking him falling asleep sitting up feels better for him. Im sure his ears/sinuses is causing a lot of pressure when he lays down. We sure hope removing the adenoids helps him.
Weston is going to pick up an extra day at daycare starting next week. He will now be going two days a week. He gets very aggressive with other kids and we're thinking maybe because he's not communicating as well. We're hoping the other day will help strengthen his vocabulary/speech and help him play better with his friends.
Weston is growing like a weed....I look at him and I see no more baby :O(  He's at such a fun age right now. Everywhere we go he has to keep saying hi to everyone until they say hi back. He's absolutely adorable. I can't believe how many people don't say hello back....awww. He even says toodleloo when we leave....he's absolutely adorable!!! He's a very happy boy....he knows how to get anything from anyone with those big blue bedroom eyes.
