Farewell

Losing a pet is never easy. Losing a friend is even harder. Today, we lost both. Sadie, you were our friend, our guardian, our companion, and our family. We love you and miss you deeply.

Oops!!!

Holy moly! I forgot to post the most important event of the last week...Uncle Randy came home from Afghanistan! We are so happy to have him back safe and sound! He will be making a trip to Wyoming in the near future and we can't wait to see him! I am also particulary excited to meet his girlfriend Whitney and her daughter Haley! Whitney was there to welcome Randy home and the pictures of course made me cry.



We love you Uncle Randy (and Whitney and Haley :)) and we can't wait to see you guys!

Catch up

Where does the time go? I feel like I'm always running behind with the blog. I apologize for my tardiness, but better late than never right? I realize that Christmas was nearly a month ago, but I figured I would post some pictures since I never got around to it :)

We had the boys for the second half of their Christmas vacation, so we picked them up on the 26th and headed to the ranch. They were super excited to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Cowardin. We had so much fun opening presents, sledding, making projects in the shop, and making chocolate covered mice! We even had a big bonfire and lit off fireworks!! It was wonderful to spend time at the ranch and visit our family!



















After a busy holiday season, we have been spending lots of time cleaning and organizing our house. Even though its been almost 9 months since we moved into our new house, we are just now getting our pictures hung on the wall! We had the boys this weekend and they helped us go through all their old toys and clothes. Even though its taken us a while, I'm so glad we're finally getting all the way settled in!

Today we were all excited to watch the Packers game since they were in the NFC Championship. I'm trying to convert the boys into football fans :) We all donned our Packers duds and watched them woop up on the Bears! It was an awesome game, and I can't wait to watch the Super Bowl!!





Last week was Allen's 5th Birthday. I can't believe my little man is almost in Kindergarten!! Allen, you have the kindest heart of anyone I know and you are incredibly special. Your smile is contagious and you never cease to amaze me with how smart you are! I am blessed to have you in my life and I love you with all my heart!
