Yuma Babyshower

My lifelong friend Jil Patterson decided to throw me a baby shower to celebrate Cally Mae. From the adorable invitations, to the decorations, and the delicious food courtesy of Susan, Jil's mom, it was a great day and I couldn't have asked for more. We had a great time playing games, catching up, and just hanging out. Thank you all for sharing such a special time with me and for all the wonderful gifts. Both Cally and I are blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives!

Lizzy and Layla- The Boxer and the Hound

Our wonderful neighbors Mike and Erin have a dog by the name of Lizzy. Since the first day we moved in, she has been around and has made great friends with Stafford and Layla. However although Stafford and her get along great, she has found a "best friend forever" with Layla and Layla with her. They absolutely love each other and look forward to seeing each other every time we go out. If I open the front door and let the dogs out,

Layla runs to Mike and Erin's door and cries for Lizzy to come out. Lizzy jumps to the chance of coming and visiting Layla anytime her parents let her. When they are both outside in their own backyards they talk through the fence and peek through the holes in the wood to see at each other. Out on the trails when Erin and I go for walks, they run around together both full of energy and loving life. It so great to watch them together and see how much they cherish their friendship. Like Lizzy and Layla, I too cherish the friendship that Zane and I have found in Mike and Erin. We are lucky to have them as neighbors but more importantly as friends.
