Halloween, 2012

Katie didn't want to dress up as Blueberry Muffin again, so we pulled her Rapunzel dress out of her closet and let her go as Rapunzel instead. She even had the flower braid and a matching purple pumpkin pail, we were good to go! We just went down a few streets in our neighborhood, alone this year. Ashleigh and Anthony didn't join us, so it was a quiet Halloween. My Mom came, and David brought Jake along too.

Jake At The Dog Park

We decided to take Jake to the dog park, and let Katie play as well. I texted Ashleigh to see if the girls wanted to go too. My Mom had Katie's bike, so I texted her too, asking her to bring the bike with her. When we got there the girls started playing. I tried to take a picture of Madison, but she still hates me =/ I'll never know why, sad. She doesn't talk to me, barely looks at me, for years now. Bummer.

 David took Jake in the fence where the dogs are.

 The girls rode their bikes and scooters.

Nice day out today.

Jake's Walk

We went on a family walk tonight with the doggie. Katie brought her bouquet of flowers she picked out at the Dollar Tree. She's so precious.

I love family time. Even if I do not care for the doggie intruding on it. :p

Jake's Homecoming

Well, the Lab came home to our house today. We officially have a dog. Katie decided to name him Jake, after Jake and the Neverland Pirates. David and Katie were playing with him and welcoming him home. She was very excited to have a dog.

Our New Lab

Katie and David have been harassing me for a dog. I do not like dogs. I do not want one in my backyard, I want to be able to go out there without being sniffed or jumped on. But they really want one. So I caved and told David as long as it doesn't come in the house, we'll get a dog. David wanted to rescue one from the pound so we all drove down together. We let Katie pick the dog she wanted. I tried to persuade her to get a cute tiny little pup, but she really wanted this black Lab.

 They let us go in a small fenced area to see if we got along with the dog before buying it. David and Katie liked him, so we paid for him and waited to pick him up in a few days after they gave him his shots and everything.
