STEEL

Steel was the most recent member to our family! He turned one on May 9th and was hit by a car in Tooele on March 18th. We had to finally say good bye to our best friend on Aug 28th. He had shattered his femer into 9 pieces and went through a tough surgery and months of recovery. He wasn't healing properly and some how, probly wrestling with koda, he rebroke his leg and was not fixable! He will be missed by all of us and I know some of you are thinking "he is just a dog" but he was more than that. He would always follow Ryker around and wouldn't let anyone to close to him unless he knew what you were doing. He loved to play with Ryker! He was attached to Zane's hip and would always be right under your feet! He loved to go in Zane's truck! Right after his surgery we went to pick him up at the hospistal and when we finally got him out side he saw Zane's truck and tried to run to get in! He was my big cuddly dodo! Really he sometimes didnt seem so smart! He loved to have is tummy rubbed! He was always needing attention! He loved to play with Koda! They would always be wrestling! Even after his accident he was always so happy and we didn't get to keep him around as long as we would have liked but he was able to hold on for 6 more months! I would say the hardest part off all of this was trying to explain to Ryker what happend. He still asks "where Stee?" Or "Stee come home?" He diffinatley will be missed!

Ryker has loved playing in the sun this summer! He loves swimming in his pool, jumping, splashing and of course showing off for anyone who will pay attention to him! He will be so sad when it starts getting colder!

Our Family

Just to get you all up to date! Our little Ryker just turned 2 in May and is getting so big so fast. He is the funnest thing ever and is so much like his dad it's scary! He loves to swim, play in the dirt and loves sports! He is talking up a storm and the things he comes up with is amazing! Zane just started his own general construction company this year and even thou it has been super stressful it has been the best thing for us! I am so proud of both my boys! I am still trucking away with school! I hope to be starting Pharmacy School next fall! I just hope to get accepted. Besides that our lives seem to be the same! No big surprises! We are going to Tampa in Sept to see a Buccaneers game! Zane is super excited! We have two dogs now! We have Koda, a husky, and Steel is a german shepherd! They fill in the other kids spots! Steel was hit by a car in March and he has pulled through! His leg is till a little messed up but we are hoping all goes well so he doesn't loose his leg! I think that sums it all up! I will try to keep this updated, but lets be honest I am always SUPER busy and should be doing homework or something! :)
