Ivory 7!

Can't believe my little girl is now 7! She is growing up so fast. She also got to have the day off school and gets a 4 day weekend. We are going to have her birthday party tomorrow at the local bowling ally. I just hope she has a blast.
Josh and I got her something that most people say a 7 year old don't need but she isn't your normal 7 year old. She is in the first grade and reads at almost a 6th grade level right now. She also is in 3rd grade math. Her vocabulary is very advanced that most of the time her class mates do not understand her only the adults do. For her birthday which she will be getting tomorrow before her party is we got her, her own desk. Not only just her own desk but she will also be getting her own computer! She loves using my computer and her dad's for educational games and just practicing her typing. Now she will be able to work on her own system. Once we get it all set up I will post a new picture. Her case is hot pink, and we are getting her a pink keyboard and mouse to match. Her desk is white with a light wood top. I plan on painting pink/purple butterflies and dragonflies on the sides.
I just hope she has a great weekend. Also want to give a shout out to Ethan. He turns 2 today and is Ivory's Cousin.
Have a great day and weekend everyone!!

Puppy Training

Meet Romper our now 9 week old Beagle. We have now had him for a whole week and what a week it has been. I never knew having a puppy this young was so much work, granted it is suppose to be Josh's work but seems it hasn't been.
Romper is doing well on potty training and will do better as soon as we get a crate that is perfect for his size. We talked to a dog trainer that has trained dogs for shows, tv commercials, and just family pets and we are meeting with her on Monday. We want to start him in obedience class as well as teaching him simple commands. It seems the books just don't get enough information.
Romper is already showing a great personality and is full of energy. Though we got him lots of toys he loves to raid the girls room for new stuff to chew on. He also gets along great with Blackie our 2 year old black lab, and ZB our 6 month old cat.
On a side note pregnancy is going great. Only 8 wks to go woot! Hopefully we will have Romper all potty trained by than.
