Tristan's First Birthday Party

New Pet!
We got a new pet last night! Well, new to us anyway. My dad and step-mom gave us their dog, Fly, a.k.a. Bad Dog. She really is a very good dog, but my dad started calling her that when she was a puppy and now that's all she responds to. Lol!
She is a 6-year-old, pure bred Border Collie, and she is very well trained. She has been around young children throughout most of her life and has no history of aggressive behavior whatsoever. Bad Dog is a sweetheart and she is so perfect for my little family.
I'm sad for my dad because she was his dog and he really wanted to keep her, but they are moving to a place that doesn't allow dogs. He is really happy that we have her though, so he can still visit her whenever he wants.
We have really missed having pets in the house. Robbie and I are both animal lovers and it just felt strange not having one for so many months. Like I said earlier, Bad Dog is the perfect fit for our family. Tristan already loves her and I know the daycare kids will too. She is so incredibly calm and obedient, and we just adore her.
Welcome to the family, Bad Dog! Our family is almost complete. Now we just need one more baby and we will be good to go! ;)

Rising Sun Fun Care Flyer
I still have one full time opening for a child between the ages of 3 years and 12 years. Here is a flyer that my lovely sister-in-law designed for me. If you happen to know of anyone in the Tooele area looking for child care, would you pass this on? Thanks so much!

Post #100
Hello everyone,
I am back! Wow! I have been really, really bad about updating my blog. I haven't posted since March, so it's been six months. Lol! I guess that's what happens when you have a toddler, your own business to run, and a house to take care of. As busy as I am, I really am going to try to post here at least once a week to update on what's going on with my little family.
Well, I got my state license to do home daycare back in April, so I have been a child care provider for five months now and I am so glad I made this decision. I can honestly say that I love my job and that I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I have bad days, just like with any other job, but nothing beats being able to be home with Tristan while playing and teaching him as well as all of the other children that are here everyday. What could be better?
It gets stressful running the daycare though. Not just the kids, but the record keeping, shopping, planning lessons, cleaning, sanitizing, etc. I think as soon as we get some of our debt paid off and I fill my last opening in the daycare that I am going to hire an assistant. I could definitely use one! Lol!
Tristan is doing so well! He just had his first birthday two weeks ago. I still can't believe that I am a parent of a toddler now instead of a baby! He is so smart. He knows how to say mom, dad, duck, ball, hi, and a couple of other words. He also tries to sing E-I-E-I-O when we are singing Old McDonald. Lol! So cute! He can sign milk, more, kiss, all done, please, and he is learning more and more each day. I love my little man.
Robbie and I are doing great. We have been together for almost four years now and I love him more and more all of the time. He is a great husband and a wonderful dad to Tristan. He has been so patient with me and my business and helps out around the house whenever he can. I feel so lucky to have him in my life.
Life in general is just great! The first part of the year was really rough because I was starting the daycare, but things are getting better and better all of the time. I am starting to get baby hungry again. I know so many people that are pregnant with baby #2, but Robbie and I both think it would be best to wait until Tristan turns two before we start trying for our next baby. So I'll just have to wait I guess. =/
Sorry for the novel. Hopefully it won't be so long before I post again next time. ;)
