Cade and Baw-poo, after Cade fell down and got hurt. He had me bandage the 'wound', and he shortly forgot how bad he was hurt. What a sweetheart.....and I was able to capture a tender moment.

Hooey

Well, we were able to get all the puppies sold. This is the puppy we kept, his name is Hooey, and he is such a cutie. My dad decided to keep one of our females, so we are really looking forward to them being able to work in a couple of months......

......as long as they survive the kiddos.

Cader Tater's Birthday Party

We celebrated Cader tater stinker pants 3rd birthday this past weekend. He loved finally getting to open his presents and blow out his candles. We had been traveling all weekend, so he didn't get a fancy cake or birthday decorations....... poor little fella:(. He had to watch patiently while Gavin opened his presents in September, and then while Emily opened hers in October. Finally it was his turn to open his own birthday presents. It's hard being so little.

We sure do love our Cader tater!

A night out

We were able to attend the Child Advocacy benefit auction and dinner with the Blairs and my other fellow employees this past weekend. It was really nice to spend an evening with other grownups. The food was really good, the company was great, and the entertainment was ...........entertaining:)

Brenna and Amber, two girls I work with. So cute and tooo funny.

Sarah and I were being silly with the hats they used on the table centerpieces.

Todd and Casey Blair. Don't worry his face normally looks like that:)

Veterans Day

Gavin's school had a Veteran's Day parade. It was so nice to be able to honor some of our wonderful service men and women who have sacrificed sooo very much for all of us and for our freedoms and our country. How do you ever begin to repay that?

Puppies, puppies, puppies!

We just had a litter of puppies 5 weeks ago, and they are really getting cute. We are super excited about them because they are out of two amazing cow/hog dogs and have a lot of potential. They are mostly black mouth cur, but they obviously have a little catahoula leopard in them(hence the blue eye and the spots). This is one we are thinking about keeping, we call him Camo.

This was the picture we put on the fliers.
The kiddos absolutely love them to death, so they are not so excited about selling the rest of them. I have explained that we just can't keep them all.

Halloween '10

We went to trunk or treat at our church last night, and the kids had so much fun!

Our good friends Josh, Lincoln and Lacey. They always have the best costumes. I love that Josh dressed up as one of the rescued Chile miners.


This is the pumpkin cake I made for the party. It turned out pretty good for my first pumpkin.
