Jacob's Fan Club

Jacob had a game today and Makenzie didn't so we could all go watch him play.

They won and Jacob had 17 points!

We will miss you Peach

On December 27th we had to say good-bye to our dog Peach. She has been blind for almost a year now and she had bad arthritis in her back hips and a growth on her. She was doing OK until the 26th. When we were headed to the zoo we couldn't get her to get up and go into the garage where it was warm. Jacob tucked a blanket around her and we went to the zoo. She was up at the gate when we got home. The next day she could hardly move and she could hardly eat and was wheasing. She went down hill that day. We had a vet come to the house that night and had her put out of her misery. Not really how we wanted to spend our Christmas vacation, but she needed to be in peace. I'm sure she is running around with Bubbles now and probably getting into trouble. We will miss you Peach! You were the sweetest and most gentle dog.

We got Peach when she was 5 months old so she was pretty big. Brittney, Makenzie and Jacob went with me when we got her. We had Peach in the back of the Suburban and she jumped over the seat and it scared Jacob and Makenzie and Jacob kept saying, "Take her back, take her back". We are so glad we kept her and I know Jacob is really glad we kept her.

Zoo Lights

Since they closed Zoo Lights on Christmas Night we used our tickets the next night. I was a bit disappointed, most of the animals were off limits or asleep and the lights weren't all that great and there was some guys singing some weird Turtle song that I'm pretty sure he was making it up as he went along. I thought there was suppose to be carolers, not a guy making up a turtle song. We made the best of it and went to eat at Chipotle afterwards.

We found Nemo
