Lauren, Brooklynn, Brendan posing with Zoey, the newest member of the family. We got her on Monday night, Trevor and I made a deal, if he takes out the pond in the backyard (which was there when we moved in 2 1/2 years ago), then he can get a dog. The pond was gone in one week Trevor took it out, layed sod, and landscaped (he was amazing). And now we have our Zoey and she has been fun. We haven't had a dog since Apollo almost three years ago, we now have bigger family, older kids (who help out) and our excited to have a little puppy in our house. Brooklynn always wants to have money, so I made a deal with her, this summer she can earn a $1.00 a week if she picks up the doggies poopies. Brendan (who is very loving) told me the other day in the car, "Mom I just love Zoey", but "Mom I love you too."
