Birthday girl

Addy turned three July 5 this year. We were camping up by Spokane on her actual day. So I made her a cake on the river and she got to blow out her candles. With a little help from the big kids, who she adores!
Here are some pictures of both her little parties.

Potty training gone right!

Praise the Lord! Addy is doing great on the potty. A friend gave a couple of little potty chairs and she took right to it. They must have been magic chairs because we have every other type of potty chair known to man, except this certain style. She was just ready and never turned back.

We are certainly ready for summer after all this rain. It's going to be beautiful this week and not the next, ugh!

Brian had his 10 year reunion at his job, yay!! Sounds like they do a little 'thing' in front of a bunch of your co-workers and tell a few stories and share some pictures. Not the my husband has any stories or anything. No stories about a faulty knee, a hair washing bucket, a food poisoning, an ostrich, a bathroom, or any type of fishing story I'm sure.

Enjoy the pictures and be sure to note the 'potty chart' I printed for the little potty-princess. She filled that baby up quick and doesn't care about it anymore. We started giving her dried cranberries for a treat and she thinks it's the coolest thing. Gotcha :) Someday she'll be smarter than us, I suppose. Heeheehee.....

The Krist's

Oh Shih Tsu...

Miss SadieWhat a stylish kennel, even Addy likes it :)

We have been learning to help a lot lately. Addy is my little helper!Helping making pancakes, she even flipped one!

So, we got a dog. I know...I folded like an umbrella. I never wanted a dog, but God has a plan for us all doesn't He. Sometimes His plans are different than what we think is best for us. Often time, His plans are VERY different. Hence, the dog. God was preparing her just for our family, she fits in great.
She is a five year old Shih Tsu. She is potty trained and seems to be crate trained. Addy has been very happy to have her around and I am warming up to her also. Her name is Sadie and she is a little sweety.
