Wow! I kinda fell of the blogging wagon! I guess my life was just too boring and not much to write about. I will do some updating on what has been going on Since January!
My father-in-law turned the big 50 back in March. My mom-in-law threw a surprise party for him in Victoria. We had so much fun! It's always a blast getting the WHOLE family together. We LOVE it! Hope you had a fabulous birthday, Pops! We love you!
Scott and I also just celebrated our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Can you believe it? It's so hard to believe we have been married for one year. It has been an amazing year and i am so excited to see what the future holds! We had originally planned on celebrating our anniversary by taking a little getaway to Gruene. Scott has been working sooooo much lately I really wanted to just get away and relax. Well, plans didn't quite work out that way! We decided to adopt a puppy on March 17. We brought home little Lilli! She is an american bulldog mix and she is beautiful!!!! Her mom was rescued in January and 2 weeks after being at the shelter she had a littler of pups! We loved Lilli since the day we saw her picture! Let me just tell you about this little baby.....
she LOVES her daddy! (and he LOVES her!) She likes to chew on toys and people, but won't dare chew on the furniture. She is a sleeper! She sleeps all night and sometimes doesn't want to get up in the morning to go potty. She loves the neighbor pup, petey. She has been diligently trying to dig under the fence to get to him. We sometimes let her go over to play. The neighbors enjoy having her as well! :) When we got her, she was 7 weeks old and weighed about 10 lbs. We took her yesterday for her 2nd round of shots. She weighed in at a whopping 21.4 lbs at 11 weeks old. She is the biggest out of the littler so far by like 4-5 lbs. We are going to have a BIG dog!!!! She is the sweetest thing ever. We taught her how to shake hands this past weekend. I can't get over how having a pup is so much like having a BABY! We are loving every second with our little Lilli!
Soooo...jump back to anniversary plans. We only had her 2 weeks and didnt want to leave her already to go on our getaway. She was too young to be boarded and didnt have all of her shots yet. It was also easter weekend so we decided to head South and spend Easter/our anniversary in CC with my family. Plus, we wanted to show off the newest addition to the Gower family. Lilli did great in the car and the whole time we were visiting. Everyone just LOVED her! (especially my dad!!!) I can't even imagine how everyone will be when we actually have a HUMAN baby!
That has really been all the excitement we've had lately. Lilli keeps us on our toes and are enjoying watching her grow every day.
Hope this update finds everyone well. Scott is still working like crazy but hoping to have every other weekend off now. He definitely deserves it! He works sooooo hard! Maybe on these weekends off we will be able to get on the road and see the fam a little more. We sure do miss everyone!
Love to all!
Kayla, Scott, Lilli
(i will post pictures of Lilli as soon as I get home. I'm still at work.)
