Why do we have a puppy?

Okay, I know why we have a dog, David loves them. So I thought I would try, but a puppy is really like having another child. We have been growing a garden this summer. Well my green tomatoes got eaten at the beginning of the summer and just yesterday Duke our puppy got into the garden. The garden does have a little gate around it, but Duke found a way in. And now our 4 watermelons are all gone thanks to Duke. And the garden is all dug up. I think he just want a cool place to lay down. Anyone want a chocolate lab puppy? NO David and Alayna are attached. Well that's all because Alayna is emptying everything from the desk.

Grandpa Clement

Last Saturday my Grandpa was put into hospice and on Monday he passed away. I am grateful that I had Grandpa in my life. He was a wonderful man. He has an enormous prosperity, but he has left an amazing legacy for his family. He was alway working and taking care of the family. I loved going to see him and being asked, "How's my girl?" Life is precious, you never know when someone might be called back to Heavenly Father.

Diamondback Game

Last night we went to a baseball game. We took my niece and nephew, Victoria and Lincoln. We had fun, Chase field has some fun things for kids. They also liked the fact that the Diamondbacks won.
Lincoln with his pizza! He shared it with us.
Victoria and Lincoln, ready for the game.

Alayna all tired out. Just before David got her to go to sleep, I gave in and was letting her play on the steep, concrete stairs. I looked away for a second and she started rolling down the stairs. She didn't go far. I think we had a guarding angel watching out for her. Next time no climbing the stairs.

Riding in the Wagon

Alayna loves her little wagon. She used to pull it all around the house, but lately she loves to sit in the wagon and be pulled. She is signing more, she wants to be pulled more.
