A day at the park, Getting cozy with the cats, and Dusty's passing :(

Things have been busy around here. The weather up until now (it was 10 degrees today...brrrr) has been beautiful. One day last week, I left work as soon as I could and we took the kids to the park. It was a lot of fun. Abby is getting so big. Watching her play at the park shows how much she really has grown up.





The cats have adjusted nicely. I think the kids drive them nuts though. They seems to wait until the girls go to bed at night to really come out and join us. Jonas has really opened up. He doesn't hiss at the dog and Zeke anymore and he is actually starting to play with Zeke. My allergies have not acted up too bad. I just need to always remember to wash my hands right after I pet them.



They have really become buddies!


Abby loves to cuddle with them and watch t.v.




A week ago today my dad had to put his best friend Dusty to sleep. Dusty was such a great dog. She was a comfort to my dad and his best buddy. My dad got Dusty when she was just a pup and she didn't leave his side from the first day he got her. She was a part of the family. We all have holes in our hearts now. She will be greatly missed!!

It's official....we have lost our minds!

Ok, so here is how it went. Tiff and I have been talking about getting another pet. Why, you ask? I can't answer that...lol But we have been talking about it. I actually want a little dog but the dog I really want ( a yorkie....so cute!) I can't afford. So, I caved and said I would get a cat. Ok, let's back up a minute. We used to have 2 cats but decided to give them away because I am allergic to them. Yeah, really not funny huh? So, anyway, we see a cute cat at the Denver Dumb Friends League named Cinna-bubba (yeah, don't ask!) We decide to go down and meet him. We end up seeing 3 cats all together (just in case Cinna-bubba isn't very nice). Well I end up falling in love with the white cat and Tiff wanted the orange cat. We argued and argued until we decided to flip a coin. At that moment the guy tells us that cats are 2 for the price of one!! Well, I really wanted this cat so we say ok and there you have it. We boxed up two cats and headed home. The whole way home I am on the verge of having an anxiety attack because I am thinking...what the hell have we just done!! Well, we did it. there was no turning back. We just had to make it work. I am glad we did. They are the sweetest cats. I am still allergic to them but I just make sure I wash my hands and take allergy pills. We re-named them of course...lol Tiff named her cat (the orange one) Zeke, short for Ezekeil. And Abby and I named our cat Jonas (that's right...we named him after the Jonas Brothers..lol Abby calls them her boys!) Zeke is very sweet and spends a lot of time with us. Jonas is a little afraid of the dog so he is taking a little longer to feel comfortable.

Here is Jonas. The first picture is the day we went to visit him. He is so good with the girls.






And here is Zeke. He is the sweetest cat ever!!




This is Bailey and Zeke getting to know each other. They just laid there and stared at each other for about 10 minutes. It was really funny!



Here, Abby and Brianna are showing Zeke their baby albums!!
