Delaney Sue Gray, 5

On July 26th 2009, my baby turned 5! We started the day off with a good long swim at the Jewish Community Center (St Luke's South family event). Then we had a spaghetti dinner, (Delaney's request), followed by cake and ice cream. We celebrated with just our immediate family (later had a large party for both Delaney and Mayce). Delaney is super crazy about Hello Kitty she got pj's, outfit, bra and panties all with Hello Kitty.

Every year I like to ask my kids a few questions...it is fun to hear what they come up with and compare the answers from year to year.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Petsmart worker

What is your favorite color? Pink and purple

Who are you going to marry? Keenan Carroll

What do you like about yourself? That I have a fake phone

What is your favorite animal? Zebra

Who is your best friend? Katelyn

Happy Birthday Delaney!

Ben

Meet Ben!

Well being without pets for so long was a bad thing and once we got started we just couldn't help ourselves! Ben is our clearance dog. He is a black lab and was one of two puppies left from a litter. He was on clearance because he was getting old (12 weeks). When we went to see the puppies (in June) Ben came and sat by our feet, his brother ran off but not Ben he would not leave us. So I guess he choose us! He is 5 months old now and is a really good dog. He is very smart and will do anything for a treat. He loves anything that flies and constantly has his head turned to the sky. He and Manny get along great, Ben loves to chase Manny. Manny acts annoyed with Ben but for some reason Manny keeps flopping down right in front of Ben. They are such good friends that Manny gave Ben his last prey to eat!
