Full speed ahead!

The puppies, that is! They are at this stage where they run wide open all the time. SO full of energy and play. Some ears are starting to come up. Cutie is the howler of the bunch........she's gonna be a "talker" just like Mattie I think. Lovey absolutely LOVES to play tug of war! They all had a blast the other day, roaming the yard and discovered the sandbox!! They thought they had hit the jackpot with all that sand!! LOL  They got in there, running around, rolling and digging just as fast as those little legs could dig. It was just too funny! They also discovered jumping off of the patio! I don't know what it is, but all the pups we've ever had, just love to dive off of the edge of the patio. They'll head back around to get on the patio, just to jump off again. LOL  They are just balls of fire!! I will leave you with a TON of pics of all the action. Enjoy!

Bella's belly!

What a cute, poochie belly Bella is getting! :)  She is growing overnight it seems. Everyday a bit bigger. I've started her on puppy food for the extra protein and stuff she needs to grow her babies good. She's doing really well, seems a bit more tired and sleepy, eating and drinking a LOT. All seems to be going well, hopefully it will continue that way. So I guess the countdown is on.........only 3 weeks to go! It seems like a ways away, but really, when you think about it, they'll be here in NO time. Boy am I going to have a super busy next 3 weeks!! Between getting these puppies ready for their new homes and flights, vet checks and all that good stuff, have a wonderful friend visiting from out of town this weekend and will be doing some family portraits for her, and then having supper, then we're hosting Easter PLUS a birthday party.......Cole turns 5 on Easter this year........and then, wa la.........it'll be time for our new babies! I'm SO excited though and ready for all the busy days!! And did I mention I'm wanting to rip off some old wallpaper in a bathroom, paint and also paint the laundry and kitchen?? Oh and rip off wallpaper from the kitchen too?? As soon as Easter is over that's what I'll be hitting! LOL 

Well, enough rambling here. I'll leave you with a few pics from this evening.......when the sun *finally* came out. I'll try and get more puppy pics tomorrow. For now, it's just Bella. :) Ya'll have a good night!
