New Adventures

Sorry I never finished my post about Ruby. I know you have all been in suspense waiting to see if she is ok :)!! We did find her at the pound...have no idea whey they told me twice they didn't have her. The kids were screaming, jumping and soo excited they couldn't contain themselves. So when the lady handed me the $100 fine...I couldn't say no.(URGG!) I paid it. Ruby is home. This is how I found her at the pound. So. Sad. But it didn't take long and she was back to her tail wagging, happy self! With a new collar and license from the city, she is ready to go! Or ready to stay put in the garage, more like it.

On to the "REAL" exciting news of the day! Kylie started Middle School today! She has been soo nervous and so excited all at the same time. I can't believe my 4 pound little baby girl is starting Jr. High. Seriously! Where has the time gone? I am not going to lie and say that I stayed dry eyed. In fact I did NOT! Brian gave her a blessing last night, and she was excited and ready to go this morning! She waved bye with a smile on her face. Through the tears, I was smiling too.

Ready to go!


Have a great day sweetie!

On to the other exciting new adventure for us. It is looking like we have sold this house. It is a lease option to buy. It has been signed and all that, but you know how these things seem to fall through...so I am not holding my breath quite yet. But indeed, it looks like a change is in store. No idea where we we would head to next because the renters in our house just signed a new 12 mos lease. No matter what, we will take it all in stride, and welcome change. New adventures are good for us, and our Family is getting very good at them! Tomorrows adventures include the first day at a new school for Sydney and Tyson...and a weekend trip to Lake Powell! Didn't I say adventures were good?

Lost Dog Part 1

Friday morning as we were leaving for Lagoon, Ruby ran out of the garage and in less than 1 minute she was GONE. Really GONE. We looked and looked and finally gave up and headed out, hoping she would come back during the day like she has before. To make a long story short...Ruby was NOT home when we pulled in late that night, however, we tracked down who found her, and she is telling us that the Saratoga police came and got her. Saratoga police are telling us they took her to the Animal shelter. The Animal shelter is telling us they don't have her. I'm confused...to say the least. So today I am going to the Animal shelter to look for myself. It's been 3 days without the dog...my poor kids are going CRAZY! Wish me luck!

P.S. Kylie left for girls camp today. It's going to be a long week...I miss her already!
