Bella 2nd litter of puppies

After we got home from Allora’s Birthday, Bella our dog was in labor, and just before midnight the 1st puppy a little girl was born Oct 17th and the 3 boys followed just after midnight on Oct 18th. The little girl is speckled black and gray with tan on her face and paws. She has white on her chin and chest. The 2nd puppy is a little boy, reddish-tan puppy with a small little spot on the back of his neck and darker brown leopard spots on its rear end, black ears and he has a white chin, chest and a couple toes. The 3rd and 4th puppies are both boys, and are identical twins they are both reddish- tan but one puppy has goldish-blond in his fur, they have black ears no spots and no white. Ones head is slightly bigger than the other. When they turned 4 weeks old, their eyes started to open. They all have brown eyes... with the exception of puppy #2 he has 1 sky blue eye, and 1 brown eye. We named him Jax (after Jack Sparrow) the little girl we names Speckles. And the twins boys we named the bigger one Max (Maximus) and Rex. And they are sooo cute!

Allora's Birthday party

We had such a great time at (my neice) Allora's Birthday party! Adam painted faces and I sprayed everyone's hair with color. Then we went over to the Farnsworth's Farm for a hay ride. We sang happy birthday to Allora, as the horse was pulling us around the field. It was super fun! They have the best apple cider and dipped carmel apples!
















Adam caught a bat


Me and Adam were outside with the kids I babysit and we were getting ready to eat lunch. We always put up the umbrella so the kids have shade, to eat their lunch, as Adam was putting it up, one of the kids said "hey there's a bat hanging right there" So Adam looked and there was a bat hanginf from the inside of the umbrella, so he caught it in to a bucket for all of the kids to see. I ran into the house to get my camera. It was soo cool. But really weird to see one up close. He was pretty cute. We saved it in the bucket so that trevor and Brooke could see it when they got home from school, then we turned it loose.

First Day of school 2009







This is Trevor's 7th grade picture, and Brooke's 6th grade picture. Bitter sweet first day of school, We had to have a funeral for brooke's little hampster "Pookie" she woke up to go to school and found that she had died in the night. It was so hard to be happy for the first day of school! But she managed a smile, just before we had to go. Happy first day of school. And a tribute to Brookes little hampster.

Fishing at the State park























We went to the State park to have a picnic and go fishing. Rob, Linda, David, Allora, Jake, Daniel and Lindsey came with us. We had a picnic, Rob and Adam took Trevor, David, and Jake fly fishing. The rest of us then went on a hike, we saw lots of groundhogs, squirrels, and a few deer. The boys caught alot of water snakes. Some of the other kids wanted a turn holding them. It started raining for a few minutes, but none of the kids cared, they just kept, playing in the water. I took lots of great pictures! We had such a great time! I can't wait to go again!
