Zoe!




We would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family! We got a puppy for a Valentines/Birthday present. We found her on KSL and fell in love with her. I have been thinking about getting a puppy for awhile and a few weeks ago we saw Marley and Me and that sealed the deal. Jack was tormenting our cat and needed a friend to play with. So far, they are getting along great. Zoe is proving to be smart and seems to be getting the whole potty thing down. We just have to remember to take her. I am busting out the squirt bottle today because she is starting to chew everything in sight. We have done the dog thing before and ended up getting rid of Kaya, but I think we should have gotten a puppy to begin with. She is really sweet. I am excited to do a lot of fun things with Jack and her this summer.

Another reason we got her was because we are having a harder time getting pregnant this time around. I feel like it is an elephant in the room because Jack is almost three and everyone is wondering why we don't have number two yet. I haven't said anything on the blog about it, but most of you already know so I guess it isn't that big a deal. Anyway, we are trying and recently found out that I have a thyroid issue so hopefully that has been what has been holding us up. We really haven't been trying as long as some couples do (only about 9-10 months), but still... it is frustrating all the same. We are working with a good doctor so hopefully within the next few months we will be annoucing another addition to our family. For now, my motherly urges will be met by caring for my sweet puppy (and Jack of course)!

Thanks for stopping by with Zoe. We to fell in love with her. But who would'nt? We have seriously been thinking about a puppy too for the last couple of weeks, but can't find the time to bring it home. I think that says enough about us getting a puppy, right? lol. Please come over and play with Owen and I .... and bring the puppy too!

Hang in there with the pregnancy thing ... it'll be ok. Hug, hug!

Super cute little puppy! I have to bring Mason over to see her! We were at my aunts house yesterday and he LOVED playing with them! Tristyn was scared to death and cried when they came near her, but maybe she'll warm up to her! Sorry to hear about your thyroid problem, but hopefully they found the reason you haven't been able to get pregnant. I'm sending baby vibes to you now, so good luck!
