Puppies


Ahhh.... the puppies.

Tuffy had her puppies April 2nd, so they're just over two weeks. I never imagined they would be so cute! Seven in all, two girls and five boys. I have never had so much testosterone in my house, kind of crazy!

















I call them the "frat boys", because they are always all over each other looking drunk or passed out. ;)
Check out the blue eyes~ wouldn't it be cool if they stayed? Maken and I got to play with them today for the first time. They are just beginning to walk. They all wanted to snuggle up on her lap, and she was in puppy heaven.


Look at those faces!
This guys been one of the favorites so far. He is the biggest and the only fawn with the same markings as Tuffy. I call him Brutus, because he's a little tank! He looks like a mix between a St. Bernard and a Bulldog.
Awe, tell me you're not in love?

A Quick Catch-Up

Ok, I know it's been a while, so there is a lot to catch up on. Last time I posted was for Aydin's birthday, so since then we had Chad birthday, my birthday, all the holidays, Makena's birthday and so on... ;) Yep, it's been a little busy. My new little niece was just born the other day. She is so cute and if you could see her hair! I don't think she's human, she's more like a little monkey. ;) She is beautiful and we're proud of you, Al.
Took a nice big family sledding day last weekend up in Monte Cristo. Kenny was in town so it was fun to have all the kids together (never happens). I just got a new camera and went a little picture crazy, so I'm surprised I only added these two pictures, but I only had room for so much. We had a lot of fun, though, and the kids all did great. Makena was terrified of the snowmobiles, but as long as she was with daddy things were ok.


Just me playing around with the new camera and thought this picture was cute. :)
Makena in a birthday outfit. This kid is such a ham, I don't know what I'm going to do with her. She is turning into such a funny kid! She just turned 3 going on 17 at least, and FULL of attitude! Do you see the way she is posed? She does stuff like that in every picture. She loves the camera and loves attention. Am I in trouble, or what?

So as I had mentioned in my last post I started a new job in January. Same industry, same type of work, new company. It was a little scary to make the move, but so needed and so relieving. I love this place, they make my job a whole lot easier, and Christina works with me now so it makes it way fun. If you have to work, it's nice to have a good friend by your side to make fun of everyone with. ;) No, we really do work with a lot of great people and it's only up from here!

Embarking on a New Adventure

So I know I have been a slacker on keeping up with my blog (or anyone elses, for that matter!)lately. So this is my short post, to say that yes, I am still alive and will be back blogging soon! I have actually just taken a new job that I start tomorrow, so while I am a little nervous I am excited to be taking on this new adventure. Wish me luck and stay tuned to find out how it all goes! :)

MWAH!

Slideshow

Photography is a big part of Chad's life. He takes the most amazing pictures. Mostly landscapes, but he does a variety of everything. I am so proud of his work. For Christmas, I put together a portfolio of some of his favorites. I couldn't fit them all, but here is a view of some of his black and whites. He has a gift for capturing beauty in some of the most peculiar places.
