Bo the Wonder Dog
Wednesday morning Bo the Wonder Dog passed away in his sleep. He was part of our family for 5 1/2 years and we're all having a hard time adjusting to him being gone.
We're grateful that he went peacefully and for all the love he gave us while he was alive. What's your favorite memory of Bo?

Dutch's 4th Birthday!
Camera cord is still lost. One of these days there will be a series of all-picture posts!
Yesterday was Dutch's Golden Brithday - he turned 4 on the 4th! When Chris wished Dutch a happy birthday the first thing Dutch said was, "FIREWORKS!" It seems he associates his birthday with fireworks, and rightly so.
We went over to Bah and Honey's house for brunch where Dutch received his first two presents of the day. A remote control Jeep from Uncle Zaque and Aunt Amy, and a pair of water guns from Bah. He loved them both, of course, but the Jeep got it's own song: "I love my Jeep! I love my Jeep!" repeated over and over again.
The water guns were only fun if he was shooting them at you, but not if you were shooting them at him! And when Chris swiped his gun and shot him with it, Dutch was VERY upset. So I guess we're going to have to work on the rules of water gunning.
As his birthday present from us Chris and I took Dutch to the movies to see Madagascar 3. We convinced Grandma Honey to come with us too. For the most part Dutch really loved it. He also loved having a soda and popcorn.
Chris let Dutch pick out his birthday cake and he chose a covered-in-bright-red-frosting Elmo cake. We shared it with Bah, Honey, Uncle Zaque, and Aunt Amy. Grandma Honey gave Dutch a family photo album, and he refused to believe that the baby in the pictures were him.
We topped the evening off with Sandy City's fireworks display. On the way home from watching the fireworks Dutch fell dead asleep and didn't wake up until 8:30 this morning!
I think it's safe to say it was a pretty awesome birthday for our big 4-year-old.

A List for Tuesday
5 Awesome Things That Happened While My Sister Heather and Her Two Girls Visited
(in no particular order)
1. Heather and I were constantly mishearing Dutch and Evie which led to hilarious moments. The best was when we thought Evie had said she broke Dutch's cookie finger.
2. Evie peed on my driveway. No, that's not a typo.
3. We went to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point and Dutch kept yelling at Heather, "I'm riding my horsie!"
4. Every time anyone had anything to eat Dane would walk/crawl over and open his mouth like a little bird looking for handouts.
5. Bella took better care of Dane than anyone else ever has. I'm pretty sure he loved having her at his beck and call.
Have a happy Independence Day/Dutch's birthday tomorrow!
