Best Dog Ever

We lost our beloved Lewis last night at the age of 10. He was the best dog we have ever had the pleasure of loving. We will miss him dearly. Rest in peace Mr. Dog.

This was Lewis the first day we brought him home, 3 years ago. He always had a sweet smile on his face for us.

Lewis loved to go everywhere with us. We took him every time we were able too. He loved to go hiking and walking and anywhere in the car. He was the best road trippin' dog you could ever ask for.

He was so patient with Jacob. We are sad that Jake won't remember Lewis. Hopeully he will love dogs like we do though. He will remember that they are loving wonderful creatures.

Lewis was so protective of us. He was always there in the room when I fed Jake, and followed us around the house, always laying at our feet. He was so loyal.

We will miss you buddy!

The Fair

We took Jake to the Arizona State Fair today. He ate so many corn dogs, we actually ran out of money.

Jake wanted to drive the police motorcycle, but they would only let us sit on it for a picture.
This is Jake going really really really fast on one of the rides. He went all by himself! The kid has good balance.

Elton John

Jake is going to earn his way through college playing the piano. We are starting him with lessons next week.

New Friend

We babysat a sweet little girl the other day. She and Jake like the garbage can just about equally. This is the new face Jake likes to make. Usually it comes along with some funny noises :-)

Punkin' patch

We took Jake to the pumpkin patch in Denver last weekend (the 18th) - which was also his 9 month birthday. He is getting so big!

New Toy

This is Jake's new toy. He can sit on it and push with his feet, or we can stand it up and it works as a walker.
