Gettin' a Haircut and a puppy!








When we got back from N.D we had to go pick up our new puppy and get Aylah's haircut! Our puppy is a schnorkie-schnauzer and Yorkie mix. She is so cute and tiny! We named her Daisy and she has been lots of fun! She will get to be between 5-7 pounds. We got Aylah's haircut at a place in Utah called Cookie Cutters Haircuts for Kids it is the cutest place to send your kids to get their haircut! If you haven't gone there you should definitely go! The kids get to watch movies sit in cars, elephants, etc and have the best smelling hair stuff...shampoo that smells like bananas conditioner that smells like pineapple and hairspray that smells like vanilla (they have lots of flavors)! I would definitely recommend it!

Our Trip to North Dakota

The navigator!
Playin' peek-a-boo








On Tuesday, June 23 we got an unexpected phone call that Arlin's Grandfather, whom Arlin is named after, was not expected to make it through the night. So I went and got Arlin from work, packed and headed for our 16 hour journey. Arlin's sister and her family followed us there. We finally got there on Wednesday afternoon, Eben had to pee every half hour the last leg of it! Arlin got to talk with his Grandfather and he passed on Saturday morning. Even though we were there for that we ended up having a really great time. I had never met his father's side of the family so that was fun meeting everyone. Arlin's family tree is more like a shrub let's see if you can keep up...Arlin's Grapa and his cousin married sisters, then Arlin's dad and his first cousin married sister (of another family) again. So Arlin's uncle is also his second cousin! HAHA and Arlin's dad his Brother-in-Law is also his first cousin! Make sense?! It has taken me a long time to figure it all out and I'm still not 100% on it! We had a really great time, except for the tornado which I haven't been in since I left Indiana!

Arlin Mowing the Grass!


This may sound quite odd, but Arlin was so excited to mow the yard (about 3 weeks ago)! We have been waiting for so long to be able to mow, so for Father's Day Arlin got a Troy Built lawn mower!
