Sydney got to McCall outdoor camp

Sydney left Wednesday Morning For McCall.  WE packed her up and sent her off.  We were all sad and going to miss her. Steven even hung out in her bed with her the night before and wanted to spend the night. but that didn't work out ...lol! Sydney was so excited to go! She was going to be with Molly and be in Kaiay and Beckys group with Sam peterson and Amy and Makenna Omer.  

We missed her and were so excited to pick her up @4:30pm.  We went to Texas Roadhouse as her request for dinner. I think she needed to go right home and sleep though.

She was ready to come home.  Physically and emotionally exhausted.  Good experience for her :)

Visit with the Kanooths

Leif and Rachel on their way to Utah stopped by a park on their way down and we all met for lunch.  Reese had so much fun with Savannah and Micah.  They are so sweet together and play very well.  Eli and Harper had fun too! 

Said goodbye to Rocky

As our lives have gotten busier we have found less time for our sweet little Rocky.  The time he spent in his crate was starting to be more than the time he spent out .  He was a smart little guy but the care for him was constant.  He needed to be watched while he was out because he is still a puppy and would want to find something to chew on or if we didn't watch close we would miss the signs of him needing to be let out to go potty. With having to take him in and out all day as much as I could was getting to be overwhelming and we decided it would be best to rehome him.  I didn't think it would be so hard but it was!  Steve and I both agreed it would be best to do this before we left on our trip to hawaii so we found him a good home quickly.  A family in the ward with 5 small children who live up the road with 2 acres took him and we have been able to go see him.  One of the little boys is in Toris school class so she gets Rocky updates often.  When we went to visit him Stephanie said when we left Rocky ran to the window and watched us leave and whine for us.  This about broke my heart but I know he gets so much more needed attention and free time.  The kids took it pretty hard but we had threatened that if they didnt play more with him while he was out that we would have to find someone that would. So we did.  Its been a huge relief to not have to care for one more but sad too.
