Our first litter of Pups!!!

We noticed that Jess was in labor early Saturday morning so we made sure that we kept an eye on her all day. Well early Sunday morning (2:00 am) her water broke and she started to have her pups. By the time she was done, she had 5 pups. 4 males (1 brindle, 1 dark brindle, one fawn, and 1 white)and 1 female (fawn). They are really cute! Jess is such a good mom and we are so excited to have puppoes to play with.

My little girl (The Monkey!!!)

For those of you who knew me when I was a little girl, you know that I would climb everything! One thing that I remember was that my Grandma Gardner had a huge flagpole in the front of her yard. Me, being the monkey that I was would climb to the top of it. I remember getting money and prizes from my family members who happened to be there when I climbed it! It was good times. Well here's something kinda fun. We have a firepole coming down from the kids' playhouse, and my little Elly loves to climb UP the firepole. She goes down as well, but it is fun to watch her go up. (Jordan can't do it, but little Elly can) It reminds me of when I used to climb the flagpole!

Springtime is here! HOORAY!

Our tulips! How pretty.

Elly with static hair and a runny nose! Now that is CRAZY looking!

My sweet Paige! She sure is growing!

Jordan and Elly at Blacktail Lake

The girls!

Elly sure does love her sister, but Paige isn't so sure!

The past few weeks have been absolutely beautiful! The weather has been so good that our flowers are coming up and the trees are getting their leaves. It makes the yard look so nice. I really enjoy our yard when everything is green and the weather is warm. The weather has been so nice that we have taken the boat out the last two Saturdays. Yesterday was the best one though. We went up to Blacktail Lake. It was nice, we had a picnic and then we went boating for a little while! I can't wait until the water warms up a little and then we can go skiing and tubing. Anyone who wants to go is welcome! We would like any excuse to take the boat out, it has been a good investment.

Today, we were getting ready for church and I thought it would be fun to get an "all girls" picture since I don't have many pictures with me and the kids. Usually I am the one taking the pictures. Also, I took some pictures of Paige a little while ago, she is changing so much! so I thought I'd post some more recent pics. She is such a sweetheart and I love her so much. Today at church one of the women who has a photo studio asked if she could take some pictures of Paige. She thought she was just so beautiful that she would like to use her in her portfolio. I thought that was pretty fun. That doesn't happen everyday (at least not to me).
