More pictures.....

Here are some more pictures we took while Isabell was here, we all went out to dinner on her last night here. We ate at Boston's and Lindsay was able to join us.

Isabell!

Here are a couple of shots of Isabell and her dad, and Isabell and Kelsey, after getting her eyebrow pierced for her birthday! (ouch) It looked quite painful and bled too, what fun! I have no doubt she'll inherit the "circus freak disease" like the rest of us, and be sporting a tattoo for her next birthday....Although it looks like Patience may beat her to it!

3 Girls, 2 Boys!

Well I must say that five puppies seems a little bit pathetic after suzy's litter of twelve, but I am so very relieved. I am pretty sure that Kady is as well, at least there is enough nipples to go around. I am sure these puppies will be hog-fat in no time! They are very adorable, we have four tri-colored puppies and one sable. The little sable girl has a little brown spot on her chest, we took a picture because it is so unusual. Kady and her pups are doing well, and Kady keeps a constant vigil over them especially making sure that none of the other dogs "look" at her puppies. She doesnt like that. Her over-protective mothering should wear off in about a week, then she will be a little more patient with canine visitation. Until then the other dogs are giving her a wide berth, well all except Holly, who doesnt take a hint very well. She got the idea as Kady was chasing her down the hall though.

Some new pictures of the "old" puppies

Here they are at six weeks now, my how the time just flies! Two more weeks to go, I think I can just about make it. Luckily for me, these are some of the sweetest puppies yet.

The Purple Hat

Some of you have already seen the purple hat, the first non-flat thing lovingly made by grandma, but for others, here it is in all it's purple glory. Of course Hailey is the biggest fan I know of when it comes to purple, so she was the lucky one! Beanies are a big fashion accessory around here, and Hailey loves the new one from grandma, it is awfully cute on her though! She was only to happy to model for the camera, and of course the dogs figured we would want pictures of them as well, so humor me. I went out to take pictures of the puppies, but everybody was sleeping! Not very good photo ops, but they were much easier to photograph while they were standing still! I will try again later when they are a little more active....

He's Back!!

At long last, he is back home where he belongs! Of course we are all just happy that he is home safe and sound, but he's really happy to be back to his favorite things, girlfriend, truck, cell phone, and fast food-in that order! Did I forget anything? Oh yeah, the ability to move around at will (freedom!) We are so happy that he and Jerren have been able to have some time together and as a bonus they sent us these great pictures of the first few days home! Thankyou guys, we love you and miss you and can't wait to see you!!

Lindsay turns 19!

Well we had a great dinner at the Olive Garden, the food and dessert were great! Everyone had a really good time and all in all it was a huge success! jake got lindsay a ring, (not the wedding kind) which she loves, of course. Thanks to mom we remembered the camera and took some great pictures! Thanks mom!
