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

Brigham walking

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!

DISNEYWORLD

Well Brigham and I just got back from Orlando, Mikey stayed there for a "work" conference :) He played golf today and will play again tomorrow, then its off to work.
We left last Sunday, and boy was it an exciting flight!! Brigham hadn't flown for a while, and definitely not since he learned how to walk. He did not want to sit on our laps! But 4 hours later we made it! I love Orlando! We rented a condo through Joann's timeshare thing (which was awesome) It was 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a full kitchen! We were going to share it with Mikey's co-worker/friend and his 5 kids but they decided to get their own condo, which worked out great! The night we got there Brigham decided he didnt want to go to sleep til midnight!! I had to rock him to sleep! We have been so blessed to have him be such a good sleeper! I need to keep reminding myself that. We were planning on hitting Disneyworld the next day, but Brigham slept for 7 hours and was up!! He usually sleeps 12-13 hours. We relaxed around the condo, bought tickets, and bought him a pack and play. we figured he doesnt like hotel cribs :) Such a diva!
That night Trevor (coworker) and his family came over for dinner and swimming. We had a blast! The kids loved the pool! The next day we got up bright and early and headed to Magic Kingdom, which was probably my favorite of the parks. The kids were so excited, Brigham loved seeing all the parades and rides, and the adults had a great time too. I wasn't feeling very good so I usually stayed with Brigham while they went on rides, but I did get to ride Splash Mountain and Dumbo!! Oh and It's a Small World, thats a classic!
Tuesday we went to Universal Studios, mostly just for the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter. I'm not a huge fan but the town was awesome!! Went on a couple rides there and I was DONE!
After those 2 days with Trevor and his family we went our separate ways, we hit Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Epcot is awesome, but Hollywood Studios was kind of lame!
Friday we relaxed again, caught up on sleep and ate at the lake by the condo.
Saturday we went to Animal Kingdom! I was sure Brigham was going to love this one, we went on the Safari and what does he do? Falls asleep for the whole ride! Silly kid!
Sunday Brigham and I flew home, since the first flight was not very pleasant we decided to use one of our free flights and get Brigham a seat, he did SO much better! We had 2 flights and on both he took a nap and was a happy boy. We had a great week but we were both ready to get home! When we got home Brigham ran straight to his favorite toy, his new car! He just missed his toys.
Some other news...I found out about 2 weeks ago that I have hyperthyroidism. That explains the 40 pound weight loss, dizziness, heart pounding, muscle weakness, and fatigue. Thats the main reason I wasn't able to ride as any rides. They have me on all sorts of medication that has made my symptoms even worse. I go in to do a thyroid scan this Thursday to see where the problem is centrally located and from there they will be treating it with radioactive iodine! Sounds scary! I willl keep everyone posted on how the scan goes.
Mikey has the camera in Florida still so no pictures to upload :(
