Introducing...Trixie

 We have a new friend in our house! Trixie!
 We have been realizing that Scooter is getting older and slower and we wanted her to be able to help"train" a new dog while she is still able to get around. (Poor Scooter)
We adopted this cutie from the animal shelter....she was listed as a 6 month Papillion mix....a bit younger than we wanted, but she was just so cute and rarely do you find smaller dogs at the shelter.  Plus...all dogs were free because there are so many dogs at the shelter right now. (And I think we are a bit partial to black and white animals. )
 Checking out the backyard
 She is a skinny little thing....all 7 lbs of her.
 Love her cute ears and fluffy tail
 Scooter doesn't seem to mind her...she basically just ignores her. Ha!

Happy Birthday to our girls!
At 12 years old both girls like: sleeping late, eating snacks, playing on their ipod, watching I love Lucy shows, doing arts and crafts, making slime, going shopping (for them)
Both girls don't like: getting hot and getting up early! ha!
We love you girls!

Josie's birthday fun!

 We wanted Josie to have a fun day on her birthday. She requested cinnamon muffins for breakfast! We sang to her and she blew out her candle. She kept asking us all day, "Am I three? Today?" Every time we said "yes," she would smile. It was so sweet.
After breakfast, she opened all of her presents from us.
 Holding up 3 fingers!
 "Cheese!"
 She had no problems opening gifts this year. :)
 She got a farm!
 She LOVED the Dr. coat and kit she got from her sisters.
 A new table and chairs! (Bye Bye highchair!)
 The three little pigs book was fun too! It came with little characters.
 She got her very own (pretend) make up kit!
 Lipstick
 Powder

 Nail polish!
 Eye shadow
Playing doctor with daddy

 After presents, we wanted to take her to play, so we decided on the Sugar Creek playscape. Unfortunately, they announced it was closed after only 5-10 minutes of playtime. 
 So, we decided to head to Chick fil a for lunch instead.
 Birthday lunch! Yum!
 After nap time, we had Josie's party! She wanted a Daniel Tiger party. Too cute!
 Kennedy iced all the cupcakes this year!
 The kids had fun with the photo booth masks.
 Present time! (Again)
 Dress up clothes from Aunt Jenn, Uncle Chris and Cooper
 She wanted Cooper to help her with opening her presents

 Cousin love

 Photo bomber in the back! Ha!
 Pizza time!
 Now for the best part! Cupcake and ice cream time!
Look at that sweet face as we sing "Happy Birthday" to her!
 Blow!
 Yum!
 After the party was over, it was time to take Josie's crib down and put up her new toddler bed. 
 She loved it!
 Trying it out
That night, she dressed in her new shopkin pj's. Jillian wanted to match her!
She slept perfectly all night and has ever since. She loves her new "big girl bed". 
Happy birthday sweet Josie!!
