Party Friday night

Friday night, we had a fun party at Dez's house (Maddi's boyfriend) with his family, a few of their friends, and our family. Dez told his family it was just a get together for Maddi's birthday and to give her birthday present. He told Maddi it was for her birthday and to open his mission call. He hadn't told his parents he had turned in his papers. Some of us knew it was it was for BOTH!! It was a lot of fun full of BIG surprises for everyone!!

MADDI'S SURPRISE!

Sammi was so excited, she was jumping up and down while she was filming this. :)

Oh ya...and we all suck at singing "Happy Birthday!" :(

DEZ'S SURPRISE!

We're so excited for Dez and know he'll be a GREAT missionary for the people of Indiana!

Maddi's surprise has been so much fun! Dez and Sammi wanted to get Maddi a puppy who would be there for her when they both leave on their missions. Little did they know when they planned this, they would be leaving two weeks apart! So...as an added remembrance of them, Sammi came up with the name "Demi" for the puppy...Dez and Sammi put together! She's adorable and Maddi is already having so much fun with her (so are the rest of us!!).

Being a puppy, she sleeps a LOT!! And...in the funniest positions! :)

She loves Charlie's "baby." Problem is...Charlie doesn't want to share!!

Once in a while, Charlie will forget he's jealous and actually begin to enjoy her!

Funny puppy! She found the big dogs can't get her if she's on the shelf of the coffee table! She naps there and takes toys there to keep them away from Libby and Charlie!

She's getting better at sleeping through the night but loves snuggling in the mornings. Maddi's been sick since we got her so they've spent a lot of time in bed together. Awwwww!!!!!!

Being a typical puppy, she finds the darnedest sleeping positions! What the picture didn't get is she was running in her sleep...on her back! It was hilarious and adorable!

Welcome to the family, Demi!
