Our new Puppy addition

Okay, yes we have a new little puppy and we just love him!

We had a really random weekend including our surprise purchase of a puppy. My mom called me on Friday the 14th to tell me that her neighbor had Miniture Dachshunds for sell and asked if we wanted one. Since our family reunion in July, we've been thinking about getting a mini dachshund because we fell in love with my brother's mini dachshund, Gabby.

Friday night we went back and forth whether or not to do it. While we were thinking about it, we went up the canyon for a ward camp out. (It was fun until we decide to pack up our stuff and leave at 2AM because we hadn't slept a wink due to loud people in the neighboring campsite, non-related to our ward).

Saturday I needed to let my mom know what we had decided about the puppy. Brock and I told her that we weren't going to do it and she called the neighbor and told her we weren't going to buy the dog. About 10 minutes after that, Brock came in from outside and said "Pack your stuff and we're going to go get a dog". I called my mom back and she went and got the dog for us.

We made plans to meet in Idaho to pick up our new puppy. We spent our entire Saturday on the road but it was well worth it!

Thanks mom and dad for being good sports and doing us a HUGE favor, you're the best!!!

Our meeting spot was a the Flying J truck stop outside Pocatello, we also ate a "fancy" dinner there at the restaurant.

Pretty RANDOM..huh?

Mom & Dad just loved having the puppy for a couple hours, they were really sad to turn him over to us.
This is him.....so sweet!

He's a different kind of mini dachshund, he's called a "Silver Dapple" duchshund. Notice his different markings and his coat, it's absolutely adorable.

His parents were really tiny and so he will probably be 6-8lbs full grown.

He already loves to lay on our couch pillows. I don't know what it is about those darn pillows, KaiKai loved them too.
He has the sweetest personality and is really quite mellow. He gets a short burst of energy but I think with his stubby little legs he doesn't last very long playing. He gets a little overwhelmed in our lawn because it's as tall as him (yes, it needs to be mowed). He's pretty much potty trained so we're really happy about that!

Work Party with WFF

Weekend fun with the Wells Fargo group.

Last weekend Brock and I joined the entire Wells Fargo District for a day at the Lake. We had a yummy BBQ and then played on the lake. The manager from Helena brought his new boat to share with us and the DM rented another boat and tubes for us to play on.

We had a great time socializing and enjoying some time on the lake. We've been wanting to got to Canyon Ferry for since we moved here, so it was a really fun opportunity for us. Canyon Ferry is about 1 1/2 hr. from our home and is another gorgeous Montana Lake. We live in such a beautiful place, I can't get over all the GREEN mountains!

Bennett Family Reunion

YES....we enjoyed another Family Reunion! This time it was with the Bennett side of the family and we spent 4 days in Island Park, ID. Brock and I were in charge of the whole thing and I think it went really smoothly.

We stayed in a campground right next to Island Park Reservoir and soaked up the beauty of the mountains and the lake. My brother Mike brought his boat and my Dad and my brother Marlon brought their wheelers to help us explore our surroundings.

This was the first real "BIG" thing that I've ever planned on my own and it was surprisingly easy and not real stressful! We all had a good time playing with each other, relaxing and enjoying the outdoors!

Our riding group

Taking a beverage break

Our reunion ended on Thursday the 31st and some of our group went home and the rest of us decided to go into Yellowstone and camp. We spent two nights camping in Yellowstone and touring the main sights. It was fun because some of our family had never been through the park.

Old Faithful
Us at Yellowstone Lake

My Dad and Mom at Norris Falls
The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

After Yellowstone my family followed Brock and I home and spent a night in Bozeman. They parked their Rv's out in front of our house. I'm sure our neighbors were worried how long they were going to stay.

What a wonderful week!
