Our newest addition...

Carter has been begging us for a dog for a long time now. About a year ago, we told him once he turned 5. Well his 5 year old birthday came and went without getting a dog. So lately he has been asking if he could get one for Christmas. Without putting much thought into it, we kept brushing him off.

Well...wouldn't you know that at 9:00 this morning we get a call from Elinor saying that her nephew was down there with six golden retriever puppies. Thinking we would just "take a look", we went down there.

After seeing a little boy begging (see picture above, I can't get it to move) "pllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
(and their nephew practically giving the registered dog away)








and this cute little face
we now have our newest addition in the Paddack household.





Meet Oliver...

Grandma


It has been a year since I lost one of the kindest, funniest most WONDERFUL woman I know. I miss you Grandma, now more than ever. I wished I could have called you the other day when I watched a man win $100,000 on Wheel of Fortune and I wish you were here so we could talk about how crappy the Cowboys are playing. You are missed....always!!

What a Stinker!

We are babysitting Mason, Lindsey's dog, this week. Landon quickly figured out that he could throw his food to Mason and quickly finish his meal. He thinks it is so funny!

Happy Halloween

The boys had so much fun last night. We had Emma's family, The Tracer's and Travis over for hot dogs before trick or treating. Emma was Dorothy (Carter was very upset about this because he felt she should have been Princess Leia), Samantha was a cowgirl, Grayson was an adorable spider and my boys were characters off of Star Wars (go figure).
After trick or treating, Carter handed out candy forever at our house and Elinor's house. He kept calling the trick or treaters our "customers". At one time, we didn't have any at our door and Carter said "where are all our customers". Travis said "Carter, don't you know we are in a recession!











Old Videos

Landon loves his new bus. The only problem is that he does NOT like it when he runs into a wall and can't turn his bus around. This video was taken on a day he had not had a morning nap because we were keeping him up so that we could go somewhere.

Therefore....no nap + yellow bus hitting wall = first temper tantrum!





I never showed you his birthday cake videos. If you weren't there or haven't heard, he was NOT a fan. I think there were too many kids cheering him on and it scared him a little bit. Plus I have noticed he doesn't like "gooey" things on his hands. Ha ha
The first video is us singing to him and the 2nd video is us trying to get him to eat the cake, watch to the end because that is where he gets upset.

** Note...I think the videos got flipped and I can't change it. The first is him not wanting to eat it and the 2nd is us singing Happy Birthday.
