Happy Birthday to you Coach Moss Mayer

This weekend we went on a youth retreat to Glen Rose, Tx. We got to spend three days with kiddos, eat colorless food and sleep on an uncomfortable bed. But it was great fun! All the kids loved it and we did too. The retreat centered around testimonies. Will did a great job leading the kids to think about their stories and sharing them with each other. Copper got to stay at the PetsMart Pets Hotel. We went to pick her up on  Sunday.

We got there and she came out bouncing and leaping into Will's arms. The girl that got her was holding a paper and a party bag. Thats odd. We got a report card from her stay. A+ Copper. Your teacher mother has taught you well. She got two stickers! I am so glad you had friends like Lady and Jasmyn to play with. But wait. This isn't the weirdest thing we got when we picked her up.  

We are so proud of her pottying skills. Our precious baby girl. Apparently she had a great time at the Pet Hotel. She got to go to a birthday party! Coach Moss Mayer...apparently a puppy dog had a party on Feb. 12 that Copper got to attend. She got a party favor. 

A ball in a cool little party bag. She would have engulfed that ball so I gave it to my god-dog Teddy. He enjoyed it. I felt some guilt from taking her prize from her. Like not allowing your kid to have a toy but that sucker would have been destroyed in a heartbeat. Did I mention there was even an invitation in the bag. Like a written invitation with who, time and date and everything. Weird. 

This is precious Copper pooped from her doggie birthday party she attended.
