Yep, these pictures are backwards in order, so just think the same way :) Here's a puppy pic for the ad on Ebay- those are the last 2 to go!! Aren't they just so cute?

Calli opening the greatest gift ever (in her opinion) A CELL PHONE ( yes, I have created a monster)

Teags with the silliest game you ever played- definitely one the Guthrie girls should take to San Diego!!

Teags and her new karaoke machine with disco lights- so cool! And yours truly has had a good time singing all the Disney songs...

Remote control helicopter!!

Hahaha! Love this one- we had a rough night with Teagyn and the flu, which kept all 3 of us up for a while, and also people picking up their puppies at-literally- all hours of the night...so this was about 8:30 in the morning after a few hours of random sleep.

Posing in our new jammies!! (don't ask about their dancing skills- they got it from their mother)

Headbanz!!

Ya, I'm 10 and I like to make funny faces for the camera, even though I'm wearing a very pretty new dress and my mom is telling me to smile!

Well, another week come and gone- and only 3 more days til Christmas!! How on earth does this time go by so fast?? We have been super duper busy girls around here- last week was one concert after another- and I am so bummed because I can't upload my pictures from my cell phone from Calli's concert- I'll be working on that this week- she did a beautiful job playing her violin :) It was so funny to watch all those kids out there playing, holding their violins in ways that made me cringe a little (I had a few moments that I really wanted to go adjust their fingers and hands and fix their positions, but pretty sure Calli would pretend she doesn't know me!)

The puppies are doing great and getting sooo big! My best Christmas present will be getting these puppies to their new homes this weekend... we should only have about 2 or 3 left by the time we hit Christmas Day night.. woohoo! Work has been so very busy also, and the kids have been big helpers this week by cleaning and feeding puppies and helping me out around the house. Who says parents hate Christmas Break? We'll see if my tune has changed by next week ;) Besides that, tonight is my last chance to get all these presents wrapped and under the tree, and tomorrow night is baking cookies for the neighbors and also giving 10 adorable puppies their first bath- we'll have to take pictures of them on their way out, because we got red ribbon so they could all wear a bow- it'll be precious! Love you all and hope you're feeling ready and relaxed for the holiday weekend!!

Here's some new pics to enjoy-- look at all those puppies and how fat they're getting! We got the house all gussied up for Christmas and had a great time spending the evening reading all the Christmas books- the kids particularly like Tis the Season book- they like to sing all the carols at the top of their lungs! They put on a great show for me while singing Winter Wonderland... I finally feel the spirit of Christmas coming out around here...Can't wait!!

Oh boy- so much going on over here the past few weeks! The puppies are doing so great- they officially made their first outing to the backyard a few days ago- they really don't like the cold... It's like a whole new world to them and so funny to watch their confused little faces. They also started eating real puppy chow today! Besides that, I couldn't be a more proud mama these days- the girls both had outstanding parent/teacher meetings and have straight As ! I put some pictures up of their doors here in the kitchen. It's easier than trying to keep it all on the fridge. Calli wrote a lovely tooth fairy letter (she's so funny!) and Teags has multiple Xmas lists all over the house- she just watches TV for a bit and adds 5 more things at a time :)

So-wish me luck on the puppy going...we are making progress and I think I have 4 sold at this point, but lots of people asking. Love you all- will have pics posted this next week after we get the Xmas tree up :) Happy shopping!

This one is waving to all of you!!

More puppy pics :)

Happy day after Thanksgiving everyone!! Gotta say, mine was pretty uneventful this year- I worked, got the kids dressed and hair curled and sent them off with Dad to his family's.... they made a pumpkin pie to take that apparently got rave reviews :) After they got back, we piled in the Yota and headed over to Karen's for dessert and playtime, so of course that ended with "Mom, can Maddie plleeeease spend the night"? So now I am waiting for work to come through this morning (apparently all the doctors went to the Bahamas), because not much is going on today, but at least that gives me time to make pancakes for breakfast! The puppies are hilarious! They are finding their little barkers and also their sea legs- little hobbly bobbly things... love you all and hope your holiday season is kicking off well!!!

Updated Puppy Pics...

Megs and the kids were dying to see the latest puppy pictures... they really do change a LOT in a couple days- their ears are growing by the hour, I swear!! And they are getting so pudgy and roly-poly- I could totally do this for a living- they are sooo adorable!

We have puppies!!!

So wow- last night was quite eventful... about 8 o'clock, Calli came flying up to me and said Mom-Vixie is making funny sounds and there's something coming out!! Sure enough- Vixie was giving birth to her first pup. Now- bear in mind that we were not expecting the pups to come until around Thanksgiving, so good thing Frankie had prepared her whelping box and we had everything (almost) ready.. because for the next 11 hours she gave birth to 10 puppies total!! oh boy- they are sooo adorable and funny- little squirmy things.. They make lots of noise already, and Vixie and kids are doing very very well :)
