the family just got bigger...

Last month, my cute grandfather Opa moved out here to Arizona and is living with my parents. It has been lots of fun... our recruiting is working... who wants to be next... c'mon, Arizona is great, and warm, and we live here:)
Well, Opa got two goats last weekend, and our family got to go out with him to get the goats. Russ and my dad built a pen for them to live in and then then we picked up the two preggo goats. CAnnon lOVES them! He has become such a farmer, or lover of animals... however you would describe that. ha ha! Here is a picture of Cannon hugging Ramooooon. (Jack named him, and liked the name and didn't care it was a girl)
While the men were building the pen, Jackson took the opportunity to dig to China. His hole was awesome, it was as deep as Cannon- yeah, he measured with his brother:)
then... we got ANOTHER dog! ha ha! One of my kids favorite things to do is to go to the pound, and our last visit was a success to the boys.
the boys love "ziggy"... espically Cannon; who loves him, and plays with him, and sleeps with him... if it wasn't for Cannon, the dog may not be around anymore cause it has a dirty habit that is testing my dog handling capabilities.
ha ha hahahaha! This picture is dedicated to Lizzy & Jessie...

OUR NEWEST FAMILY PICTURE!
hahahahah

That's so neat that your grandpa is living out there with you guys. I miss my grandparents so much and wish they could be a part of the kids lives here on earth.

I loved your newest family picture - the dog makes such a cute little one. LOL =) You guys seriously have so much fun and are such awesome parents - can I come live with you??? LOL

My family is pretty much all out there in the great AZ. They've settled in the Mesa area and are just waiting for my parents to move out there. We would like to head your way but David's work keeps us here, for now. =D *HUGS*
