Hawk and Buck

 We added two new family members to our family this past year. Hawk was born on Colbi's birthday (August 25, 2020) and Buck was born March 10, 2021.  The kids are in love, all of them have become the biggest animal lovers and it has been really fun to watch. They do a great job (for the most part) of taking care of them and spend a lot of time just loving on them.  

We got Hawk from my friend Hillary's neighbor who had kitties. He is such a fun sweet cat. He loves to play with the kids and race them across the yard.

This cracks me up, Dave actually likes the cat!

For Colt's 14th birthday he finally got the dog he has been asking for! He was worth the wait. His registered name is Axel Buck Pemberton but we call him Buck. We had to pick an A name for his registered name because he was from the A litter from the breeder. 

He has been the sweetest dog so far and loves to play and follow us around. He is also very smart, Colt has been training him and is doing a great job.

Hawaii Vacation

 Dave and I celebrated 17 years of marriage in August. He turned 40 in April 2020 and I turned 40 in February 2021. We took a trip to Hawaii in April 2021 to celebrate all the big milestones. We went to Maui with his cousin Tim and his wife Karen. It was the longest amount of time we have spent without the kids ever!. Hawaii was amazing, warm weather, beautiful beaches and relaxation. 

Our condo which looked right out to the ocean. We saw turtles and whales every day.

Colbi had a small birthday party with her best friend Lennon, we got them matching pajamas, played cards, watched a movie and attempted a sleepover (but had to take Lennon home at 9 that night). It was still fun. We had a small celebration on her actual birthday just the 6 of us.

Colbi's 1st volleyball camp

 After waiting almost 6 years and watching her brothers play all the sports it was finally her turn. She was so so so excited about this volleyball camp and I almost didn't send her to it but then DiDi came through and offered to pay for the camp for her birthday present.  I am so glad she got to go because she LOVED it! I think it helped that her best friend Lennon was there too.   She had a great time and learned so much and then she came home and taught all of us including her brothers everything. I am so impressed how well she listened, she remembered everything! I think she is really ready for kinder this year. 

Lennon, Colbi and Hayden.  Future members of Blue Devil volleyball!
