Happy 4th!

Peeker!!

Loves this smile!

I still can't believe that Kaitlyn is one year younger than Maddie! She has at least 5 inches of height on her!

Sweet couple :-)

My lovely mom!

The girls cousins Lucy, KK, Maddie and Ava

Salli made hair bows for the girls. Liberty was letting all the girls pick their favorite one!

Ava being a silly walrus patriotic pool girl?!?!

I think Maddie as to cold to smile, but at least I got something out of her!

I caught Lucy in the dining room counting to Jacob. Such a sweet moment! She is so kind and nurturing to little kids!

Dinner time!

Sparkler time!

The crowd ooos and aahs over firework display.

Spending time with family is always the best way to a spend holiday! Happy Independence Day!

Did I mention that we are fostering kittens again?

Look at these cuties! The three kittens were given names after some great singers: Gordan Lightfoot, James Taylor, and Jimmy Buffet! Maddie wrote their descriptions for their adoptions, check them out below... she is such a great writer!

My name is Gordon Lightfoot! The grey tabby striped kitten with handsome white paws and chest. Do I remind you of a tiger? I am a spirited kitten that likes to play and be the center of attention. When my siblings are taking a nap, I just keep on playing! I am also a talker, when I want something, I will let you know! I would do best in a family that has time to interact with me, or in a home that has a cat, dog, or even my brother, James Taylor; so I could have someone to play with. For me, just toys may not be enough to keep me occupied!

Hi! I’m James Taylor, the “little lover” of the group. I have the brown tabby coat and the adorable face! I also have a strange marking on my back, right below my neck. It’s a face! Two eyes surrounded by big glasses and a mustache! This gives me my nickname that my foster family gave me: Teddy! This stands for Teddy Roosevelt who also had big glasses and a heaping mustache! I’m not meaning to brag or anything, but, I have the best purr out of all of my siblings; it’s deep and rumbling, almost like a lion! I’m also the first one to purr. Whenever anyone’s hand touches me, I just can’t resist! I also really like dogs! I have two doggy friends, one is big, one is small, but they are BOTH my friends! I like to consider myself a mix between Gordon Lightfoot, and my other brother Jimmy Buffet, a little spunk and a little love.

I’m Jimmy Buffet, the big bundle of calmness! I only like to play for a short while, and then I just lay back and watch my siblings play. It’s good entertainment if you ask me! All I really need for comfort is good petting and comfortable lap. I don’t care so much for dogs, but I suppose I could learn to tolerate them. One funny thing that I will do is carry around a ball and toss it around, then pounce on it. Once it’s in my mouth again, I growl (playfully) and throw it again. It’s really fun! You should try it! I see myself fitting in best with a calmer household where I can get lots of love. I may take a little while to warm up to you, but once I do, I will love you for life!

Poor, poor Harper

My poor little Harper was bouncing and jumping around when she ran into a rock on the side of the Koi pond. The rock won, and Harper lost... 4 staples later and Harper is now on the road to recovery. :-) Harper acted more like she got her leg cut off than just getting a little cut... it sure is hard being an 8 month old puppy!

Harper LOVES the spa!

After our trip to Happy Valley Harper started to LOVE the water. She loves it so much that she will sit in the spa and "relax" for over 20 minutes at a time! That's saying a lot for Harper who is always on the go!
