Goodbye girls

We have come to the realization together as a family that Jacob does not have time to raise a puppy at this time in his life. I knew it but I think he had to learn it for himself. And we do not need or have room for another dog so we decided to pray about finding someone to adopt our little girl. And today we found the perfect family that had been praying to find the perfect puppy. It was a match made in heaven. 

We get to keep her until the weekend when they will pick her up but we feel so blessed she is going to a good home. 

What makes it really hard is Jacob shared with us tonight his girlfriend broke up today. Oh man!  Heartbreak losing your two girls in the same day!

And we had really gotten attached to both of them too... Sniff sniff!!

I'm sooooo sorry Jacob, my heart is breaking for you. 

He is a really great guy I know he will be okay and heal and he will find a way to share his heart again someday for sure.

Valentines day 2014

Our stake valentines dance has become a very we'll attended activity. 

Jacob even came with his date and she got to meet more friends of our family. 

He had roses for her and a special date night out on Friday but more importantly his dad told me he took flowers to her mom. Sweetness. (Especially when he forgot his own mom... Ahem so did his dad.... Not good but sadly I'm used to it). 

We enjoyed a nice dinner and they had a live band after. We just stayed for one or two songs. I have been so sick and coughing my head off lately we came home and I went back to bed. Not a very fun date night but I'm so grateful for my strong silent mysterious man.  He does not celebrate commercial holidays but he does show his love and celebrates every other day!  

That's way more important to me!!!

Double date night...

This weekend we got to go on a double date night so we could get to know Bree better.  So they chose bowling. 

Being ex pro am bowlers, we were happy and just KNEW this was something at least we wouldn't embarrass the RM doing. 

We'll we had lots of fun. But it should be known beginners luck ALWAYS wins. Bree has not bowled much and beat all of us in the first game!!  And it wasn't us letting her win. It was fair snd square. No matter what the strong silent mysterious man says or how many sticky shoes he blames it on. Hahaha

While we waited for our lane the gave us comp game tokens. So we took advantage and played some shooting games. Not sure but just guessing Bree is not a gun enthusiast from her form here. I had to giggle because Jacob takes his target shooting pretty serious!!

But she did take him down on a game of air hockey. We'll if you aren't super strict on the rules. She got so excited and played with two hands one to hit the puck with and the other to block her goal. 

We had such a great night with "the kids". It helped me remember why in the world they stay out so darn late. We just didn't want it to end either. 

She is adorable!!

I good time was had by all!!

Jam night

 I love the feeling that comes from sharing of talents ! #Myfavorite!!!  #Jamnight!!!!

Life Changing...

Life before February 7th was peaceful and quiet...

It def. included naps...

But on the night of Feb 7th Jacob brought this box home... 

And out popped his new puppy... he thought it would help give him some responsibility, and help to ground him to stay home more (his goals not mine).

Ever since... Life is a blur!!!

Literally...

and naps are a thing of the past...

But we are enjoying some of the cuteness...

Especially when she sleeps...

which, trust me, when I say only come in 15 min increments at this time...

 There was much deliberation about a name for this new girl in his life...

Including many Paraguayan names, because the two years he lived there it quickly became the love of his life...

But nothing was sticking, and nothing felt just right...

But finally...

Meet 

Remmington

aka

"Remmi"

She has stolen our heart ♥
