Our New House

So this semester has be extremely stressful not only with school BUT we were also in the process of buying a HOUSE!!! Yes, I know...we bought a house in Utah which was never our plan but it is just where we feel we need to be right now in our lives and this new place couldn't be a better fit for us! We have waited to post or talk about anything until it was FINAL because we didn't want to jinx it or something SO... as of last Monday our house has been closed, signed and recorded and officially in our name!!! yayyyyy I'm so excited to move in and start our life in our NEW HOUSE WITH OUR NEW PUPPY!
The house is in North Salt Lake (west of Bountiful) called Foxboro! It is a one story 3 bed and one din (practically a 4th bedroom if we closed off a wall),2 full bathrooms, 2 car garage, beautiful back yard, built in 2006, in a very friendly family neighborhood and just perfect for us!

Our new puppy Maddux!

We recently (and when I say "recently" I mean last Saturday) got a new addition to our little family! We got a....PUPPY!!!! He name is, MADDUX and he is a Cockapoo which is a half and half-mix between a Cocker Spanial and a Poodle which also means YES he is non shedding and YES he is hypo-allergenic (everyone shout hoorray!!) So anyway he is 8 weeks old as of last Tuesday and weighs in at 4 pounds right now, he is just the cutest! This first week with him has been very fun and exciting. We finally pinned down his exact eating schedule as well as decreased his whining at night so, that is good because it breaks my heart to hear him so sad. :( He LOVES his green ball that makes noise and anything he can get his mouth on to chew on! It absolutely runs Joe's nerves whenever he whines which is an interesting incite to see how Joe will be when we have children in the future and they are crying! haha LOL! He is going potty on a pee pad right now but if taken out side he will go right away too (he does great with both methods). Anyway, Maddux has learned the commands: sit, NO, and come (and yes he is only 8 weeks, he catches on quick) haha. He Loves, loves , loves the cats (Simba and Panther) and the cats just LIKE him and are very intrigued with whatever Maddux does. Simba will sit out side of Maddux's running pin and and just watch him for hours haha! Maddux has gotten his first set of shots and has another 3 weeks to go for the second set! He has already discovered PETCO and LOVES it (maybe a little to much)!His best friends right now are his cousin Henry (cockapoo) and his friend Olly(morkie). So all in all we LOVE our new baby very very much and are just trying to enjoy this extremely fun time with him while he is so young!


**His pictures don't do him justice, he is wayyyyy cuter in person (he looks like a little bear in person) :)
