Happy Happy Birthday Braxton

Braxton turned 16 yesterday. Craaaaaazzzzzzy.

A new addition

We are considering adopting a kitty from the shelter, her name is Nutmeg. We have had her for a week and we are hoping that her and our parakeet can learn to ignore each other. She is a super sweet kitty, she puts up with all of us, and she is fully litter box trained. She just has a natural tendency to want the bird, imagine that :). Not sure what I was thinking. We definitely could not leave them in a room alone together. We love our bird so we are hoping it will all work out.

Happy Halloween

Braxton was "Where's Waldo", Landon likes to be a ghost I think it is because nobody will know that it is him, Madi was a witch, and Makenna decided to be Cinderella after wearing all the other costumes we have throughout this past week.
