We got the puppies yesterday. They are so adorable. We named them Malcolm and Jayne. Here are some pictures and videos.

Puppy Naming Poll

I have setup a little web page to help us name our puppies. Vote on the ones you like. You can even submit your own names. Vote as many times as you like but please don’t abuse it. We won’t be using this strictly but we will take your opinions in to account.

This week we got a fence installed around our back yard. Really we just finished off the parts that our neighbors fences didn’t enclose. We have been telling the kids that we couldn’t have a dog because we didn’t have a fence. Well, now that we have remedied that situation and we are ready for a dog. We did some research about dogs and have decided that we like Beagles best. Kami started looking on all the websites we could find for dogs in the area but couldn’t really find what we wanted. She did find some scams though. Eventually she found a posting for some puppies that were just born and would be available on September 1st. We decided that we wanted to get 2, a boy and a girl. We drove to Kennewick, WA yesterday to meet the owners and the puppies. The kids were so excited and the puppies were so cute. We picked out the 2 that we wanted and put a little money down. We might be able to pick them up on the 27th. We are anxiously awaiting the call from the owner that it is time to get them. Here are some pictures from the trip. The first 2 pictures are of the 2 we picked out.

Now we need to pick names. We probably won’t settle on them until we get them home but we are open to suggestions.

My son has a book for boys and in it there was a recipe for Ooblek that he wanted to do. When I looked at it I saw that it was just corn starch and water. We’ve had a good time talking about physics and fluids. When he was 2 I would never have thought he’d be doing this.

I really hope my High School Band didn’t sound like this.

We went shooting the other day. I think my 8 year old is ready to get one himself.

Here he is with the 9mm.

Here’s an interesting article. Not that it will sway either side one way or the other. Some of us like to live in freedom, others like our shiny little box to live in. To each his own. Anyway…
