Saying Goodbye to Roxy

 Having pets is amazing and 
joyful and wonderful and also one of the most heart breaking things ever. 

We adopted Roxy back in 2010 and have loved her so much. She was such a good pup and will forever be in our hearts. Her health had been deteriorating for awhile but she contained to hang on. Ranger kept her young and feisty beyond what we expected. 

When her seizures started and she was having more accidents in the house along with more and more time sleeping, we knew it was time. Poor pup wasn't herself.
Jackson was there too, just camera shy.
She was surrounded by all of us and I wouldn't have it any other way but man it was tough. 
The veterinarians office gave us a clay paw print and Addie wrapped the collar she made her around it. I also printed 200 pictures of her starting at the beginning and put them in a book so we could always keep her close.
We love you Roxy

Sun Valley!!

Trips to Sun Valley have been a tradition for 20+ years. 
We have missed going the last several years because it's just hard being so far away. It's hard for the kids to miss that much school. However, Kaitlyn wanted to go her senior year so we made it happen! It was so much fun to be with this group! It has gotten bigger over the years! 
The weather was beautiful and perfect for skating! 

Markham impressing everyone with his ice skating skills. 
sweet cousins are now adults 
Breakfast at the Kneadery never disappoints. 
Sledding at night is the best! 
We're getting older but still at it! 
Fun at the YMCA!
You can do it Jackson!
Thrifting at the GOLD MINE is the best! 
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!! We had a blast! 
Cheers to making it happen. 
The journey back.
