Happy 8th Birthday, Oskar!

Yesterday, my baby turned 8...  Why do these years have to pass by so quickly?  He was my first baby and I just love and cherish him so much.  I know our pets aren't here with us nearly long enough, so we celebrate each day and especially every birthday.  And no one loves a birthday as much as this dog!  Eme and I took Oskar out for his birthday traditions this year and it was tons of fun!  We went to a local dog bakery and then a picnic and play time at the dog park.  It made me so happy to know that Emeline was finally here to celebrated this day with us.  I always knew Oskar would make a great big 'brother' and he didn't disappoint. 

Oskar, we love you to pieces and you are such and important part of our family.  Happy 8th Birthday baby boy!

Punta Mita

Kris and I finally got around to taking a trip of our very own - Mom and Dad needed their own fun too!  It was way overdue and we had the best time together.  It's important to make time for ourselves and Emeline had tons of fun at her Grammy and Poppa's house while we were away.  Already looking forward to our next trip....

1st Mommy Daughter Trip

Eme and I took a little road trip to Austin to see one of my best friends, Becky and her two girls, Cate and new baby Camrie.  The girls played, the mommies chatted and we had a really great visit!  We definitely need to do it more often and as many of you know, we are always looking for an excuse to visit our favorite city in Texas!  We miss our Kessels already!
