Almost May

Wow does time go by fast! I am eagerly planning baby showers for Kelly and Shauna, who are due with my nephews in August! I love reading their blogs and seeing how their pregnancy is going, and how the rooms are coming along....and of course to see my beautiful redheaded nephew Cooper, he is getting so big!

Ryan and I are busy with dog classes, we just finished another obedience class, and will be doing rally classes for the next month. We also have agility classes....aussies are naturals, they love it. The tri-cities recently created a dog park, so we like to take McKenzie and Josh to play there. McKenzie is such a little police officer, she is in everyones business! Josh balances his time playing and making sure no dogs come near his Mom. Tobie celebrated his 13th birthday last week! I love my old boy so much, and I am so lucky to have had him for so long. He is so spoiled, and sleeps on our bed. He can't hear or see anymore, but he is still the sassy, naughty boy he has always been. He is so smart, and regularly outsmarts Ryan and I.

Ryan's parents visited last weekend, and Roxie and Erick were here for the weekend also. We all went to the spring barrel wine tasting, since I am not from out of town, I DD'd for the troops. The wineries around here are gorgeous. We have 150 within an hour from our house. We actually have a ton just down the street from us! It is always fun to see Roxie and catch up....we seem to have very parallel lives, even if we live in different states. I also love to hear from Erick, who is a canine police officer, about the bad guys he and his dog have gotten. I have gotten to ride along with Erick a few times when visiting Bend.

Fundraising and training are going well, we are so busy all the time....we need longer days for sure. I have reached $655 and Ryan $230. Yes, I am winning....
We have recieved donations from a few local businesses, our favorite- Ranch and Home; and the outstanding DJ from our wedding, Sight and Sound (Bob Kreidel). We are doing a mothers day fundraiser, I'll let you know how that goes. To help Ryan catch up with me, or to help me stay ahead, click any of our page links to donate. Thank you everyone for your support!
