Out Like A Lion...In Like A Lamb???

Blah...let me just say that I am so tired of winter I can hardly stand it :( 

February 2, 2011...The morning after the "Big Storm"

February 25, 2011

The second snow storm in the month of February

It just seems to go on and on and every time Mother Nature gives us a nice spring type day she takes it away the very next day. Finally all the snow has melted and I am starting to see signs of spring! 

My flowers are starting to come up!

So much has been going on in just these first 2 1/2 months of 2011 that I'm sure the rest of the year will be the same. Below is what I think wins the  "Best Thing to Happen So Far This Year" Award...

My "Grand-Puppies" born February 22, 2011

pictures were taken when they were about 9 hrs old

Yep...puppies, hands down best thing to happen so far in 2011! Right before Christmas we bred my Yorkie Yaddie to our friends Yorkie Libby. Well he got the job done because she had 4 adorable pups after having to have a doggie C-Section. Libby had 2 girls and 2 boys and we are getting one of the females and should be bringing her home in May! I think Yaddie will really like having someone to play with but I have babied him since the day I brought him home so I have a feeling there will be some jealousy issues ;) The pups are 15 days old today and I got word this morning that all have both their eyes open but one, who only has one eye open. I know it is hard to tell just from the pictures but I have been there to see them each weekend since they were born and let me tell you...they are growing FAST! I couldn't believe the difference in them last Saturday from the week before! 

11 days old

I love her!

Growing but still small in enough to fit in the palm of my hand!

Last weekend Mike & I went to a couple's gift card shower for my brother Cody and soon to be sis-in-law Steph and we had a great time! Their wedding is about 2 months away and the girls are super excited that they will be here so they get to go! They had some great food and fun games. Here is the video from the tricycle races the guys did...good times, good times lol

Last Sunday, we took the girls shed hunting in the woods by our house. We knew we would be lucky if they found any but the sun was shining and it was not freezing cold outside so off we went. We didn't find any sheds but we all had a great time. It was so nice to get outside and do something. As I was walking down by the creek, I found a patch of wild onions. Then after a few more steps found a patch of grass...just green as green could be! Yeah! Color! Something other than brown and drab! 

Here are some of my favorite pictures from our outing...

Dad: "Kortney Nicole! Get down from there"

Dad caught her walking on this big tree before I could snap the picture lol

Kayla found a bobber

As we were walking out of the woods to head home I saw this on the tree! 

Hollywood in the woods lol
