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 :)

All Hallows Eve 2011

Good times prepping for Halloween!!

Don't you love Calli's craaaaazy eyes?

Pumpkin carving it up...

Toothless Teags!! Love it...

So we are getting ready for Halloween- heading over a big party in Spokane with the kiddos tomorrow night so we get a chance to dress up and test out our costumes first! Teags is a hippie this year- I modified some jeans for her (they turned out soo cute!) and Calli is a cheerleader, thanks to M & D for sending me my O'leary uniform :) We are going to make her a dead cheerleader just for the spirit of the holiday... and I am a dead Catholic school girl, mostly because I already have all the stuff needed on hand- pictures to come!!

1st Annual Family Time!

Oh goodness- we had such a great time at our 1st annual Guthrie family time! That's right- I said annual :) We are going to make this a longlasting tradition, right Mom and Dad?? What amazing parents my sisters and I have- they couldn't have been more fun, generous, thoughtful, or hilarious! We saw My Fair Lady at an awesome little playhouse, went shopping, ate and ate and ate, did some more shopping, went to Aussie Floyd!!, and had some really good talks and tons of laughs! Can't wait for next year already....

First Day.... woohoo!

Hello long lost family and friends- sorry I haven't been updating very much- today was newsworthy however- first day of school!! Can you sense the excitement in my typing? :)

Oh what a fantastic day they had- fresh berries and Danimal smoothies for breakfast- new clothes to wear, new backpacks packed with fresh markers, pencils, and paper, and all the cool stuff GG bought for them too! They burst in the door after school while I was on the phone with Mom and were so excited to tell me all about their day- who is in their class, what they had for snacks and lunch- who they sat by at lunch-all about their cool new teachers- and so on.... I'm so proud of these 2 girls!! It's their only year they will ever get to spend together at the same school, but at least we get one, right? Here's pics!!! Oh- I threw in some pics of their newly cleaned and rearranged bedrooms- I realize it's not very intriguing, but I was pretty happy with it :)
