Birthday Celebration!!

With everything being so busy this year and a few sicknesses we were not able to get everyone together for my moms birthday. We ended up combining my mom and I together and celebrating on March 11th. We had lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe and cake at amma's after

New Salon

I got my studio painted and redecorated a couple weeks ago. I am really happy with how it turned out. I need to buy a few more things but it definitely feels like my own place now

Saying Goodbye to Atticus

On January 22nd we had to say goodbye to the best dog ever. Back in September, we found out that he had a mass on the left side of his body. He seemed to be doing pretty well until the morning of the 22nd when he took a pretty big turn for the worse. We could not bear to see him in pain and so we made the decision to put him down. Atticus was truly a one of a kind awesome boy. We will forever miss him but hold on to all the memories and pictures of all of our adventures together

 we brought Atti home in August of 2007

 he loved playing with his cousins 

 his best friend Zeppelin 

 he always loved camping at the beach

 and car rides 

 meeting his new brother 

 playing with the kids was his favorite 

 kisses for Maddie 

 he loved going up to Arrowhead with us 

 snuggles with Cole
