Ruca 6/5/2012

Today we had to make the hard decision of putting our Ruca down. She was our escape artist but in her old age she definitely mellowed. No more dog on the roof when we pull up or chewed up fence post. She was 14 yrs old and was the best dog.

Ruca didn't bark and would let the girls dress her up. She would wear hats, handkerchiefs and necklaces for a week. Our favorite is the trip to California when she wore sunglasses like she was a movie star.  If she could have talked we think that Ruca would have sounded like the very intelligent gorilla from George of the Jungle.  She was so smart and such an amazing dog.  We are going to miss our Ruca.

Laura Rose is 14

 Laura turned 14 on May 27.  She is so excited to move up to the Mia Maid class at church and move into high school.  So many big things for her this year. 

 On her birthday she had a lot of cousins come to celebrate with her.

 Laura was able to have her birthday party with some friends from her old school and some cousins and a new friend from our new ward at church.  She was all smiles and loved having everyone share her special time with her.

We are so proud of her and all her wonderful accomplishments this year! 

Good job Laura We love you!
