penny macdonald

thought i'd throw in the only picture we took at disney...everest in the background!

penny went to the vet today, she's a whopping 24 pounds! big lady! here she is displaying her cute baby belly and watching her first k-state game!

 

playing with the fat man (is ricky smelling that toy?) and taking over hunter's bone. he hasn't touched it since christmas so he's not too upset.

 

she's trouble but a sweet cuddler. and she likes to sleep in weirdo positions just like me!

she slept like an angel last night, only cried for about 10 minutes! wouldn't have mattered though because i stayed up until my heart rate slowed down after the amazing double OT K-State/Xavier thriller!! sleep was definitely hard to come by! raising a puppy is exhausting and housebreaking is already the opposite of fun, but i know it's worth it! i'm hoping hunter will rub off some of his awesomeness and laziness onto sweet baby penny! he's warming up to her...my bet is that they'll be bff by this time next week!

omgee!

we may be coming home tomorrow with a new addition! both of these sweet girls are ready for new homes! and one of them will probably come home with us tomorrow!happy early birthday to me!! i set up a poll on the side of the page, so please vote and help us figure out a name for our new baby girl!

we've been wanting another dog for a long time, but haven't taken the plunge because hunter is so awesome, we knew he deserved our full attention! but hunter had so much fun with his bff chloe last weekend! and when ricky suggested the idea of a new pup, of course i couldn't turn it down!

hunter and his mini-me.

the new baby daddy! his name is slick and he weighs 150. i want to take him home, too!!

SO excited!  and GO STATE!! when is the last time k-state went further in the big dance than the jayhawks? amazing! cheering for the cats to keep it up! national champs?!

like Christmas morning

I woke up this morning feeling like a kid at Christmas! Here are some reasons today is awesome:

1. THE BIG DANCE begins in less than two hours!!!

2. K-State is a 2 seed! AH! I've never been more excited for the tourney, and that says a lot!

3. anything can happen in march!

4. we are going to disneyworld/spring training today with ricky's amazing parents!

5. hunter is staying at his new bff/soulmate's house. here he is asserting his dominance laziness.





6. Jax and Pax have arrived! And Cora will be here today! I love them.

7. Because the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. -Lam 3:22-23

I hope you find some reasons to be overjoyed today!

lc little ones

happy lost canyon baby month! we like to joke around that we got out of williams just in time, because clearly there has to be something if the water if there are 3 lc babies due this month! but it's times like these that it's hard to be away. but praise the Lord for how technology can be used! we got to meet sweet baby Jax on skype a couple of days ago! i feel like a proud aunt! i got the pleasure of living with Jax's incredible parents and wonderdog while ricky and i were engaged, and they are truly family to us! we're waiting for a couple more little ones to make their appearance in the next couple of weeks! and then we'll be hopefully be planning a trip out west to meet them in person! what a joy it is to us that our lost canyon family continues to grow!

and by the way...we had an incredible time at sharptop! i could do that every single weekend...maybe minus the whole lack of sleep thing! but serving the Lord and teenagers, watching their leaders love them unconditionally, watching the walls come down and the lightbulbs go off, that is what makes us feel the most alive! definitely feeling recharged after this weekend! and hooray for another weekend! hopefully with more sleep and another wilcat victory!
