Santa Crashed!!

It is offical...Santa crashed at The LARIMORE'S! Justin, Christi, Mom, and Dad spent the morning together. Justin got an X-box but....Santa brought a defective system! We hope that Santa can replace it quickly. Christi got a Kichenaid, Mom got a Bosch mixer, and Dad got a UofA watch! Collin, Emma, Shanna, Brian, Shelly, and Rob all came later in the day to spend sometime here.
We played with all the toys and had dinner with Papa Jack, as Collin calls him, and Shirley. After they went home we got out Collin's new toy the Bee jumper and played for a while. It was the HIT!! Everyone took a turn!

We even included some video and an amazing picture that Rob took! This activity continued for hours...Collin was not hurt :) He was just needed a 5 second break.

Also on a sidenote....Grandpa Larimore is famous! He made the Silver Belt! He turned 102 years old on December 12th! Below is the clip from the newspaper! We love Grandpa Larimore...aka....The Cookie Grandpa!

Another Visit to see the Goldendoodle

Well the Larimore clan took another visit to see our puppy or as Collin calls it our goldendodo. On Saturday the Mosleys, the Cooks, and the Larimore parents went to visit. We are happy to report that he is doing well and growing QUICKLY!

Cooper with the leader of the pack

(you have to watch Dog Whisper if you don't get it)

With any luck we will be able to bring him home on January 4th. We have had some great recommendations for names! We decided after hearing that his mom's owners have named our dog Larry, we better speed this process up. We are sitting on the idea of naming him Cooper. It is not a final decision yet...but we are slowing working in that direction.

Collin just couldn't understand why the puppy couldn't come home with Mimi. He said "Puppy go home now." He will just have to wait.....In the meantime our puppy has been busy visiting an elementary school, learning to be friends with cats, and playing with his brothers and sisters. Our puppy's mom has started a website called http://www.tucsondoodles.com/. Anyhow, we will try to get somethings posted about our family soon and the highly anticipated visit of Santa Clause. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Welcome...Exciting News

About a month ago I went to a class on how to write and keep a blog. I decided to keep everyone connected by starting a blog for the family. In order to start this blog off with a bang we have exciting news to share. This weekend our family picked out a new puppy. As mom puts it we have a designer dog....a goldendoodle.

This is Lenny- our puppies 1 year old brother

It is a golden retriever poodle mix. Most exciting of all is the fact that is doesn't shed! We get to bring him home around the 7th of January. Until then we will be able to visit as often as possible. Below are some pictures of our new puppy. We don't have any names so if you have any suggestions please let us know. Mom mentioned swiffer. :) Here are some pictures....enjoy!
