I'm a Sucker




Last year Coal Dog left the family for the big Farm in the sky. He was a good dog and I loved him. When he died I was convinced that I would not get another dog since they are expensive. They are so sweet to have around and I love them but going to the vet kills me. About Christmas time I told Ben I would love a White lab puppy. He usually just shakes his head at me. He would get one but I said I really was not ready.

Well the dog story starts with Adam and Erica. They bought a white lab puppy and brought her over to show her off. WE all thought she was adorable of course and then the kids wanted one. Mikey was so cute with Lady he loved to play with her and hold her. His lack of fear did not help me to not get a dog. A day later I called the breeder and she still had a little girl left. Two puppies from the same litter does it get any cuter! I thought for a day and off we went to Heber to "look" well you don't "look" with kids and home we come with the dog. On the way to Heber Max tells me, "Mom, Ryley and I agree on the name Daisy."

Well we call her Daisy Dog and I am so happy to have her! She is so sweet and her cuteness makes me explode! I love having a puppy again and can't wait for her to grown up with the kids.


Any tips on puppy life haven't had one for awhile so help us out!

Summer Fun.


Watching fireworks on the top of the car at The Canyons.

We have had a fun summer with the kids. Many trips to the barn and the swimming pool. Ryley just finished her first year of swim team and she rocked! I think in a few years she will be swimming better than me. Max is excited to join next year. The best part of swim team is realizing how bad I am at swimming. Something to work on for myself.

Mikey has been growing and learning alot this summer. His vocabulary is really starting to take off and he makes me laugh. He says new things everyday I love this age. He will be 2 in October it is hard for me to believe. Max still gets to chill with me alot. he misses the kindergarten cut off barely so he has an entire year at home still. I am going to really try and enjoy it. He is getting excited for his birthday and wants to talk about it all the time. Just a little update from the Rogers Fam.


Smores with Grandma at the Barn.




A couple of Rye's team mates after their Relay. they were so cute to watch. I think they were the smallest kids in the league. All the other relay teams would finish about 2 lengths before them. They always brought alot of cheers!



P.S. We bought a Puppy this week. I'll introduce her later.
