October Catch Up

Wow, for the second year in a row October has completely consumed our lives to the point of me not updating the blog! Ok, so here we go, this month.....

Penny started obedience school at Petco. Penny is already a VERY obedient little girl but there are a few things we wanted to work on with her to improve our 'parenting' and her skills and behavior.
 I had to take some pictures to document her first day of school
 And one just wasn't enough...
Isn't she so cute in this sweater!? Josh of course would not let her go out like this. He is extremely against dressing dogs for the purpose of fashion.

We are already three weeks into the program and she is doing great. The trainer is very impressed with her skills and knowledge, no surprise to us tho:) 

October 29th was the annual Mark Family Halloween Party, hosted by the wonderful Aaron and Nicole. Our costume this year was inspired by a friend of mine....
I think it turned out perfectly:)

As always we had a blast at the party. Aaron always comes up with such fun and unique games for us to play, and Nicole's food NEVER disappoints. My nephews were also cute as a button!

October 30th Josh reached the ripe old age of 26. We had such a good day together! His mom, brother Joseph, sister Kandise, and nieces Kya, Pheobie, and Marlee all came over to celebrate with us. Those little girls are so much fun to have around. They are very sweet and cuddly with me, and very hyper and playful with Josh. It made me so happy that they came to share a special day with us. For dinner we headed to my parents house. A delicious roast was served to us followed by cheesecake for dessert. Can't beat that! We are truly blessed to have such loving family members.
