Happy 6th Birthday, Baxter!

Baxter in Winter

Awana Study Buddy

Baxter was too cute helping Madison study her Awana memory verses!  

Our Fur Baby is 2!

Halloween 2013

This year the girls decided to dress up like Fairies.

Baxter dressed up like a pumpkin for his first Halloween!

He is the cutest pumpkin in the patch.

Happy Halloween y'all!

Baxter's 1st Birthday!

Today Baxter celebrated his 1st birthday at the Dog Park!  It is amazing how big he has gotten.  

Baxter's 1st Christmas Eve

This year is Baxter's 1st Christmas!

We are so happy that he is part of our family.

He likes wearing his Christmas sweater and playing with his new snowman toy from Grandma Cathy, Brittani and Stella.

 Happy 1st Christmas Eve, Baxter!

All the excitement of Christmas Eve wore him out.  He is resting up for his 1st Christmas tomorrow.  

Uncle Kyle and Baxter

The girls and I are in Florida visiting family for Thanksgiving.

  Uncle Kyle and Baxter got to meet for the first time.  

Puppy Class

We have been taking Baxter to the PetSmart Puppy Class for the past six weeks.  

Tonight he GRADUATED from Puppy Class!

We have some areas we still need to work on, but he PASSED!

Baxter Photos by Madison

Madison borrowed my camera to take some pictures of Baxter.  She did a great job.  

Please be praying for Baxter.  His urinary tract infection did not clear up after the last round of antibiotics, so we are trying a different antibiotic for the next 30 days.  

Our little pumpkin!

Cone of Shame

Baxter makes the "cone of shame" look good!

Today Baxter got neutered and microchipped.  His surgery went well and he seems to be back to his normal self.  Although they did discover that he has a yeast infection in his ears.  The poor little guy has to take pain pills for the next few days and get drops in his ears.  

Bad Baxter

Grandma just asked me last week, "if Baxter had discovered toilet paper?"  He did tonight...

He also discovered underwear.  Jocelyn left her dirty clothes on the floor instead of putting them down the laundry chute and the next thing we know he chewed a hole right through her underwear.  

Big Boy Baxter

Baxter is making new friends in the neighborhood.  He had fun playing at the park with Copper.

We took Baxter to the vet this week and found out that he weighs 8 pounds!  Our little boy is growing up too fast.  

Baxter Playing Soccer

Here is a short video I took with my phone of Baxter playing soccer.

Keeping Busy

Last night we took Baxter to his first puppy class at PetSmart.  He learned to sit, leave it, and watch me.  

This morning Jocelyn made a monster at Micheals Kid's Craft Club.

Madison spent the morning at the VSU Red Hot's Dance Camp.

The VSU Dance Team taught the kids several dance routines.  Madison had the option to perform with them tonight at the VSU football game during half-time, but she thought it would be too scary with all those people watching.  Maybe she will perform with them next time.  

Here is a video of Madison's favorite dance routine.  

Our Family

Today we dropped Daddy off at the airport for his third deployment.  It is always hard to say goodbye, but we are so proud of the work that Daddy does to serve our country.  

Before he left, we decided to take a new family portrait.  We realized we didn't have a family picture with Baxter in it yet.  We will all look forward to being reunited in several months.  We would appreciate your prayers.  

Fun at the C7 Ranch

Today Madison got to ride Holly.

The one question Madison had for the surgeon before her hernia surgery was, "how long before I can ride horses again?"  Madison is so happy that she is well enough to be back on the horses.  

Baxter loves going to the ranch and playing with his best friend Missy.

Jocelyn loved getting to go for a ride today too.

The girls love C7 Ranch, Miss Celina and all the horses.  

Trail Ride

Today Madison got to go on her first trail ride.  

Jocelyn enjoyed the beautiful weather and visiting with the other horses. 

Baxter played in the pasture and rested under a tree.  After the riding lesson, we took Baxter to the vet for his 10 week old shots.  We found out that he weighs 5 pounds!
