A Bigger Family

This morning Joe began working with Havoc getting him adjusted to our family.
Havoc loves Markus and Joli! He wants to run and play with them, and wrestle with them all the time!

He very much loves me too! He keeps climbing in my lap and licking me all over.

Joe trying to teach Havoc to play tug. He's getting better.

Markus and Havoc are going to have a learning process in not hurting in each other.

We hardly ever play in the front yard so Markus was pretty excited to explore new things.

And follow sister around.

Brody wants to play so bad, but he thinks he's still a little puppy. So they're mostly interacting through the crate until they get used to each other.

Havoc certainly knows and loves his daddy.

Markus likes giving Havoc kisses.

Joli would happily play with the puppy all day long if she could.

After awhile Markus and I went out to hang some clothes. Markus had to bring his puppy.

I bought him another one to swap back and forth, but he doesn't like it as much because it's not as worn. Guess I'm going to have to wash it a few times.

Brody and Havoc took a few moments of being excited, and then just excepted each other and hung out.

They even laid down and slept.

Such a sweet baby!

Vegas Puppy

Yesterday we got up and got ready for a mini road trip. Markus occupied himself while we got ready.

We were headed to Las Vegas, which is only about five hours away from here. But since it had been less than a week since our trip up north, Markus wasn't too thrilled about being in the car. So while we stopped to use the bathroom I bought a couple caramel apple pops, and decided that I'm not above bribing when we still have two hours to drive!

Markus was pretty thrilled with the idea!

He was also a complete mess!

Then I got my first glimpse of Vegas! I told Joe that this might be my only opportunity to see it, so I had to come with him.

We drove through Vegas and finally got to meet our new puppy, Havoc!!

He's such a sweety!

Since it was so incredibly, awfully, horribly hot, we went to Bass Pro Shop to cool off and walk around with the puppy.

The kids like the giant "stuffed animals".

Joli thought it would be cool to check out the boats.

There was also a few awesome aquariums! Markus ran right into the glass of this one!

This waterfall had koi at the bottom!

Joli's favorite part was the mermaid stuff.

I thought this picture reminded me of Joli and Markus.

Joli liked this one better.

There was a really cool bar that Joli wasn't allowed in, so we took her picture outside of it.

Since there were any puppy friendly restaurants around, we went through the drive through and ate dinner in the car.

Markus slept and Joe went to get puppy food, while Joli and I had a dinner date.

When Joe came back we got to play with Havoc for a little bit.

Then Joe gave me the Ford Escape tour of the strip. It was really neat. There was so much to look at!

Harley Davidson Cafe.

Outside Margaritaville.

Caesar's Palace.

And one last pretty picture.
