Collinger

Sticky face from breakfast in the car!

Morning hair!!

She was perfect on the ride home- took turns sitting with both kids and never cried once!!

We picked up Collinger on Sunday morning and she is quickly becoming a part of the family and our routine! She was a lot smaller than we expected (she's about 5lbs right now at 8 weeks) but we're happy and hoping it will mean she doesn't get any bigger than 40lbs...but I guess anything would seem small in comparison to our old 100lb labs!!

The kids were soooo excited to go get her on Sunday, and were in great moods when we loaded them in the car at 6:30am for the drive to Oklahoma City. The breader is from northern OK so Oklahoma City was half way. There were four other families that came to pick up their dog, it was so fun to see how excited everyone was.

Cute kids!!

Some recent cute pics of the kids....

Go Hot Shots!!

Finally got the camera back and was able to get some pics at Emma's soccer game this last weekend...she is really enjoying playing this season and it's been fun to see the kids improve from last season. They are undefeated so far (7-0 was the score of the last game!!)

Emma kicking off...

Emma doing a throw-in!

Getting the game plan from Coach Brian!

The count down has begun....

Collinger- the newest member of our family joins us in ten days!!! We made a ring chain to help count down the days, the kids are sooo excited!!! We also got some new pics from the breader this past weekend and she is looking sooo cute, cannot wait to meet her!!

Wishing I had my camera...

My camera has been in the shop for the past few weeks so of course we've had several weekends full of picture taking opporunities :( So there are no pics to this post, just words!!

Friday night we went to our audition for the Bass Pro commercial- it was fun for me, but probably won't take Emma to another audition as it's way too much pressure on a little kids (had to bribe her with a new pair of shoes to get her to put on outfit that I wanted her to wear- so she now owns a pair of "twinkle toes" and we danced in the dark tonight to see their full effect!) The audition also made me realize how awesome of a gig the SM commercial was!!

Saturday morning Emma had her first soccer game of the Fall season. She is playing with the same team she played with last Spring- The Hot Shots!! One of my good friends from works has a son who plays on the team too- she and her husband had a meeting Saturday so we took their son, Ben, to the game and lunch afterwards. It was a test of our car to get three carseats in the back, but we made it work and Emma and Bryan thought it was so fun to have Ben with us in the car!! We spent Saturday afternoon and evening at the SMG Kountry Karnival. It was so much fun and the kids got filled up on all sorts of carnival food!! Saturday evening we had movie night with the kids and decided to watch "Air Buddies" since our puppy will be coming home in about three weeks! Hoping the camera will be back from the shop when we get "Collinger"!!!
