He is watching us

I'm going to make a confession...we aren't the best at saying prayers as a family, we usually say dinner prayers and pray before Mikey leaves on a trip. Little did we know that Brigham really is paying attention. About 2 weeks ago Brigham and I sat down for lunch, before I could get any food in his mouth he folded his arms and started jabbering!! Ever since then he does it all the time!! We went to Ihop the other day and he was doing it there :) It was just a little reminder that even though he is only 14 months old he is watching, and noticing what we are doing. He is a special little boy and teaches me new things every day.

Here are a couple videos I caught him praying in...

Update in Lucy...she is doing fantastic!! It took a couple days but she is back to her normal self! YAY!!

I'm a horrible person!!

So today I went to lunch with a friend. I put Lucy in our laundry room and left. 2 hours later returned and Lucy was stuck in a cord behind the dryer, it was wrapped around her belly pretty darn tight! She had pooped all over herself and was bleeding. I freaked out!! I didnt know what to do, finally I calmed down enough to grab her neck and start twisting her to get her untangled. I knew something was wrong, she wasn't walking at all. I got Brigham in the car again and sped towards the vet's office. What is normally a 20 minute drive I turned it into a 5 minute drive! They took her back and the dr. said she had feeling in her legs and that her back wasnt broken, they needed to keep her there for a few hours to massage her legs and make sure she starts walking again.

All I could think about (and still think about) is how long she was there, and if I wouldnt have chatted for so long with my friend would it have been better? I feel so bad, she looked at me and was so scared and in so much pain, I felt soooo bad!

The dr called and gave me good news, she was walking on her own, but had a little bit of bloody discharge. They gave her a few medications and sent her home. She definitely isn't her normal self. Hopefully she gets back to normal, and starts driving me nuts again with her energy :)

So we have been looking for a puppy for a while now, not real seriously until a few weeks ago. We were looking at mini australian shepherds and beagles. We have been trying to find a breeder close to us or in WA or Oregon so we could pick it up when we visit family. I found a breeder from the Reno area who travels a lot. She had a couple cute female puppies we were interested in. One was hyper and nuts, and the other the total opposite. Since this is my first dog, and as anybody who knows me knows I am TERRIFIED of dogs, we decided to go with a smaller, more calm dog. I'm hoping this will be a good thing for me and help me get over my fear of dogs. Anyways the breeder was planning a trip down to Vegas this weekend and said she could bring the puppy! So Mikey is going to drive there for work tomorrow and then pick her up!! We are so excited! Brigham is going to be in heaven! Now I have to train her! AAAHHH!

Anyways here she is! SOOO cute! She will get up to about 14 inches and probably 20 pounds

I totally forgot to put this video up...this was taken about a month ago when he was first learning how to walk. Now he's a pro! He was walking all over the airport and Disneworld! He learned how to walk in shoes about a week before Disneyworld and he is so stinkin cute!
