Meet the Newest Member of Our Family


Christmas came early for the Howland, soon to be Burley, family. Benjamin, Tony and I were given an adorable 1o week old puppy by my good friend Ashley. She saved him from a nasty pound in Kentucky and thought Ben needed a puppy to grow up with. I was a little unsure at first but I figured we could give him a chance and see how it goes. He has been such a good puppy! Hasnt even had an accident in the house! I know now that i've said that im sure he will... I couldn't have asked for a better puppy for Ben. They love each other so much!! Ben likes to read him books, take him on walks around the living room, and watch him eat.

Another awesome thing about Kimber, he looks almost exactly like Gabe. He wont grow to be as big but he's definitely his mini me. Their white markings are in almost the exact same places and they even act alike! Which could be scary... lets hope he has a few more brain cells than Gabe.

Riding home from a check up at the vet.

He's been christened... Ben dropped half of his yogurt on his head

Since they were both covered in yogurt this seemed like the easiest solution

Gabe and his mini me

Thank you Ashley for giving us such an amazing gift. He couldn't be more perfect! :-D

Halloween

We started off this Halloween season by going to the Hallelujah Harvest at church. Ben picked up the concept of holding out his bag to get candy very quickly!

No Parking?!?!

Sharing his horse with Blake

Grandma and Grandpa took a quick break from volunteering to see this adorable little cowboy

"What? Im not sneaking candy..."

Riding the horse! (sorry the camera wasn't working properly)

Halloween night I took Benjamin to the Burley's to trick or treat, we ended up staying there and had a lot of fun!

"Whoa! Grandpa did you know there's candy in here! Why are you giving it away?!"

Hangin out candy with Grandma and Grandpa!

Passing out some candy

Have some candy Grandpa!

Here are some more pictures of my little cowboy taken last week.

Modern cowboys ride tricycles...right?
