Well, Mia turned 1! I can't believe it. She's grown up so fast! I took her to the vet for a booster on her vaccinations and a one-year check up. She officially weighed in at 67 lbs! After Brian got home and we ate dinner (I made chicken spaghetti.. yum!), we took Miss Mia to PetSmart for a birthday treat... Doggie Ice Cream! They make ice cream that is safe for dogs (lactose free, sugar free, fat free), and she loves it. They gave it to her when she graduated from Puppy Training Class, so Brian and I thought it would be perfect for her birthday treat. They gave it to us for free, and she licked the bowl clean! Brian had to hold it for her, because she the bowl kept moving while she was trying to finish it off. Our trainer from the Puppy Class just happened to be there at the same time, and when she saw us through the window, she came out to say hi to Mia. She couldn't believe how big Mia was - the last time she saw her she was about 12 weeks old! :) After she finished her ice cream, we went to look at new doggie beds for her birthday gift. She tried out several, but we finally found the perfect one. In fact, she's curled up on it at the moment... so precious. We even remembered to take a coupon with us so we saved $10. Aren't you proud?
After we finished up at PetSmart, we came home because we had visitors coming to our house. First, Danny came to eat sugar cookies with Brian, and to see "Mia, Mia". I brought a box of Granny's sugar cookies home from Texarkana (more on that later), and that was more than a good enough reason for those two boys to get together. Danny and Brian have been really good friends since junior high, and he was a groomsmen in our wedding. He's been a great friend to Brian, and we love getting to see him. Then, my youngest brother, Luke came over. We needed to trade cars, so he came and ate sugar cookies with us too. It was good to see him too.
This past Monday morning, I went to Texarkana with Brian's mom, Ava, and his sister, Allison. We drove up there, spent then night, and then drove back home on Tuesday evening. We went to visit Brian's Granny, and several other family members dropped by while we were there. We just relaxed and talked and ate. What more can you ask for? It was a great girl's trip, and I was really glad I was able to go. We missed Loree and Kinley though! (That's my other sister-in-law and 8-month-old niece) I feel so fortunate to have married into such a wonderful family!
Below are the pictures we took on Mia's 1st Birthday!
