We've been talking about getting a dog for some time now. The boys read Where the Red Fern Grows and Benji kept telling us that he was saving $50 to buy a pair of bloodhounds. He's the cutest!
I had promised the kids we could get a dog after Nora was potty trained and ever since we got rid of the diapers (hallelujah!) they keep bringing it up.
The weekend before Nora's birthday we went to the animal shelter and found a beautiful new dog for our family. Meet Bruce!
He's about 2 years old and some sort of Australian/German Shepherd mix and so good. We looked at so many dogs and he has been amazing. He's house trained and doesn't jump on the furniture and is so good with the kids.
Nora follows him around near constantly saying things like, "oh, you a good doggy! I love you doggy!" Bruce puts up with her laying on him hugging him pretty nonstop, it's adorable.
I keep finding her covering Bruce up with blankets and reading books to him. Awww
That same night, Travis came home with a go-cart for the kids. He's been wanting to get one for awhile now and the kids are in heaven.
Nora thinks she should be able to drive it by herself.
Extra points are given if you can drive it in a princess dress.
Peter and Benji are pretty hilarious drivers -- Peter espeically is a bit of a speed demon and they have the best time tearing around the desert.
And yes, we did get the kids actual helmets :)
