Koda
Wanted to introduce our newest family member. This is My Little Boy!!!! Tim surprised us with his agreement and excitement to have "Koda" join our family. He is a Yorkshire Terrier. We got hime from a family here in Wasilla. His Mom is 4.3 lbs and his Dad is 2.3 lbs. So his is going to stay pretty small somewhere in that 2-4 lb range. He is my little purse dog and goes with me everywhere. Right now he is 7 weeks old and 14 oz. Not even a pound!!! He is a very good puppy and doing really well with potty training.... not that if he had an accident it is very big.... We've made up a little box for him in a laundry basket... to darn cute!!!

July Update
So its been pretty quiet around the Galloway Household this past month. Gillian and Jenna have been having a wonderful time in MN. I can't believe they come home in a week. Where did the time go. We have only had a couple of phone calls with tears, but mostly its chatter about what all they have been doing... and of course they want to talk to Joey & Jordyn more than they do Mommy. The weather in MN hasn't been the best, so that is a bummer, but oh well... they still spent a week at the lake and went out fishing a couple times. Spent a few weeks at the Farm, lots of Jeep rides with Uncle Keith and a couple weekends they were able to play with all their cousins. Gillian attended Drama Camp in Baudette and was in the Wizard of Oz Play. I am sure I will hear about alot more things they did once they get home.
I think Joey and Jordyn have really enjoyed having Mommy all to themselves. I have enjoyed the downtime also. I have started a few projects... tiling the office (Phase 1 is complete), Sanding down some furniture to repaint, and LOTS of SCRAPBOOKING. Our weather here has been absolutely beautiful this summer... record highs. The girls have spent much time outside and in their little pools, on the swingset, going on walks, snowcone making and eating and anything else you can think of as long as it's outside.
For the 4th of July, Joey, Jordyn and I spent the afternoon with John and Tracy and Family. We went up to Hatcher's Pass to Independence Mine and then hiked up to Hidden Lake. We had a wonderful time with great friends. I will hopefully get pictures posted of this great day done soon.
Joey has spent alot of time with her best friend "Tru-Tru" (neighbor Truman). They are 2 peas in a pod, both "Toe-heads" with Blue Blue Eyes, and kissable cheeks. We have had so many laughs with those 2 this summer. If they are not at one house they are at the others. And of course they have "Progressive" meals where ever they go.
As Joey said to Miss Tracy this evening," I haven't eaten at your house yet today." So she ate supper there. Then as Tracy and I are visiting (at Tracy's House) we can't find the kids.. where are they, back at Our House having Cereal, which I tell you they got bowls down themselves and poured it!!!! Oh we laughed and laughed!!!
Joey also had another classic moment today. It is only 60 degrees here, but the neighborhood girls were going to run thru the sprinkler. I was over visiting with Angie (neighbor)when all of a sudden there is Joey... BUCK NAKED... she had gone home to change into her swimsuit and couldn't find it, so she came back over to get me, but didn't bother to put any clothes back on. What a site, that blonde hair and white tushie!!!
Jordyn is such a happy baby, with 5 teeth now. She still isn't walking, but she sure can go up and down the stairs pretty fast. She climbs up to the top of the slide and slides down on her belly, and climbs up on the couch or anything else she gets to. She has developed a fine art of feeding the dogs. She is a true joy to have in the house.
Tim has made it out to Ft. Lee, VI and he just completed his first week of Captain's Career Course. The 2 weeks before that, were pretty slow as he was just sitting out there waiting for his class to start.
Gillian, Jenna, my mom; Arleen, my grandma; Doris, my Aunt; Connie and my Cousin; Jackie all fly up here next Saturday Aug 8. I am so excited for everyone to come. We are going to have a great time.
Gillian starts 4th grade on Aug 17 and Jenna starts Kindergarten on Aug 24 and on that same day, Joey starts morning Preschool. Can't believe my babies are getting so big.
I just bought plane tickets to go out to Virginia to see Tim for a week Sept 3-9. Jordyn will be going with me. Tim has a long weekend Labor Day weekend, so it will work out great. Tim's parents, Paul & Margaret are coming up to stay with the older 3 girls here at the house. They will be getting the kids to school and all their activities. Thanks so much!!!
The Alaska State Fair is the end of the month here in Palmer. Fairgrounds are just down the road from us. Aug 26-Sept 7, so hopefully we will get to take that in and see all the gigantic veggies that are grown around the state.
So keep an eye on the blog and I will continue to update with pictures from this summer and keep you updated on the happenings here in the Galloway Household!

Memorial Weekend BBQ 2009
Here are pictures from the Memorial Weekend BBQ! It was a Welcome Home Tim/Happy Birthday Joey Theme. We rented a big Bounce House for the kids, everyone bought a side dish to share and I think a great time was had by all. The final head count was 65 people. I'm thinking that this should be an Annual Festivity? What do ya'all think? If we didn't see you this year, I hope you can make it next year!!!!

Pixie Playdate
My wonderful neighbor, Tracy hosted a Pixie Playdate for the neighborhood girls. Tracy is one of the most artistic, intelligent, artsy-crafty, woman I know. She has 4boys so this was her opportunity to let her "girly" creative juices flow. There was Pixie Crafts, Storytime, and Pixie Snacks. The girls even found pixie dust through-out the yard, so they new that real Pixies had attended the party also. All the girls had a wonderful time. Thanks so much Tracy!
