What's been going on......

So here is what has been happening lately with the Phifer family. Josh finally convinced me to go camping with him and the girls. We went to somewhere by the Duchene?? river and it had Forks in it too. But if you ask Jaycee she will tell you we went to Strawberry Hills. I don't know where she came up with that name but oh well. Everything was just as I imagined it would be with the exception that Jordyn didn't fall in the fire pit or brake any bones. She did however fall in the river, fortunately it was just on the side on top of the rocks and I was right there to grab her and pull her up. She did fall countless times and has the scratches to prove it. Jaycee is the expert camper, before we left she said "mommy, you might want to bring a short sleeve shirt because it gets kind of hot during the day". Thanks Jaycee it was good that I brought a short sleeve shirt because it did get hot. The first night there though it was freezing. We didn't turn on our heater when we went to bed becuase it was still pretty warm in our tent. By about 3am it was freezing. So Josh tried to turn our heater on and the pilot light wasn't doing anything. I am greatful that the girls were in our tent with us and sleeping other wise I think Josh would have screamed a few choice words and kicked it. So other than that it was fine. I will continue to please him and go camping with him 1x a year for a couple of days. Sorry, we forgot our camera so we don't have any pictures.

So we finally got a puppy. We told the girls that when we got a house we would get a dog and when we bought our house last year I think we had only lived here a couple of weeks and they asked when we were going to get a dog and so we came up with the excuse that we needed to wait until we put in a fence to get one. Well we did the fence last month and we no longer had an excuse. So we bought Sparkles. She is a pure bred Shi-tzu. She is a little stinker and so dang cute. She is a combination of Jaycee and Jordyn so she is meant to be ours. She has been doing really well with pottying outside and this morning I was reading my book and not paying attention to her so after she had all ready gone outside about 10 minutes before she peed a little on the carpet and I am sure it was just to get my attention because she didn't go and sulk like she normally does when she gets in trouble. And dangit she is an early riser just like Jaycee. She has been waking up between 4:30am and 6:00am for the day and wants to play. Needless to say we are pretty tired. Well that about sums it up for now.
