Happy New Year from the Miedemas



40 year olds head to the Dominican

 In honor of friendship and 40, four couples flew down to Punta Cana to take in some sun and relaxation.  It was successful because that is just what we got!
6 out of the 8 of us had turned 40 in the past 5 months, but 40, as it turns out, is pretty great!

Beach time……..volleyball, walks, massages……...

 Dinners, good food and drinks………….

 A beautiful excursion to the blue hole in the Dominican Jungles and caves.

Great friends…………...

Taylor's 12 Birthday


Taylor turned 12 in style with her family by choosing the Rainforest Cafe by day and homemade juicy lucks and lime rickies at night.
 Taylor loves her new puppy this year more than anything and second is her friends.  She is a faithful friend and is not afraid to stand up for her friends in any situation.  She loves sports….pretty much all of them.
 She combined her birthday party this year with her bestie, Jaclyn, at air max.  Their most favorite thing to do is jumps and flips for hours and hours




Welcoming Percy into our family


Percy was born on Oct 5, 2017.  I found him around Oct 27th and placed a deposit on him.  This was a big secret to keep until December 17th when I went to pick him up and surprised the kids at home by ringing the door bell and placing him inside the house. 
They were so shocked and speechless…………..a priceless memory for sure.

Overall, he is a good puppy that just desires attention.  His potty training has had ups and downs, but overall I think he is a keeper




The kids love him to pieces……….

He has no choice but to be a hockey fan.
