Kash

My second nephew was born October 23rd. He is so cute. I wish I had gotten some pictures of him when Melanie and Keats brought him up here. His name is Kash Recker Jack. I think it's very interesting... and cute. :)

Rebecca

Rebecca moved out. :( She and Todd moved up to Utah. We miss them a lot. But I think they're enjoying it up there. They took our little Sydney cat. We miss her too. :) But now that Rebecca is gone... April, EmmaLee and myself all have our own rooms. April has the green room, EmmaLee has the purple, and I have the blue. It's fun to have our own rooms.

November

It is now November!!! I'm so happy. The cold came fast and out of no where. One day it was warm,,, and then the next...we're all wearing coats.

Weight

Today we decided that it would be a good idea to weigh our dogs. It had been a long time since we weighed Charlotte and Sadie, and we thought it would be fun to watch the puppies weight as they grew. My dogs are growing up way too fast. :(

My two year old lab, was weighed and is 100 pounds exactly. She sure is getting big.

Little Dee was... 47.6 pounds.

Brutus is... 43 pounds.

And Sadie is... 13 pounds.

Where did my puppies go? Sadie was the easiest of them to weigh. Brutus and Dee were hard to hold but not too heavy. And Charlotte was way too heavy and big, she took several tries to get her properly weighed.

Long time, no blog

It had been such a long time since I've updated this blog. The last thing was back in August. Since then school has started. I've started seminary this year. I have Brother Davis. He's a very good teacher. EmmaLee has also celebrated her 8th birthday... pictures were taken with the new camera, so there will be no pictures of her birthday. David and EmmaLee were both baptized on September 11. It was fabulous. All us sisters (minus EmmaLee) sang a special number. April and myself each gave a talk. Also, (I can't remember the exact day) Jennifer, Melanie, and Keats came up a couple of days before the baptism. And they brought with them two new kittens. We named them Sun kissed, and Ginger. They're both very cute. I've also had my 15th birthday. The pictures for that were also taken on the new camera. Just a few more months until I get my permit, then I get the van. Well, that was a very quick re-cap of the past month. Tomorrow I have a plans with my friends to go and party at Clear Creek. YAY!!!

Bogging

For quite a few weeks now, It has been raining like crazy. There have been a lot of frogs all over. At night you can look at the road and thing that there are a lot of little leafs blowing across the road. But no,,, they are frogs. They're very loud at night. Well, with all the rain that we've been getting... we've also been getting a lot of mud. :) So this last Saturday, my Dad got the 4-wheelers out. And we went mud bogging!!!! It was so fun. I hit every mud hole that I could. There were some points in time that you would drive into the wind, and the spray of mud would come flying back into your face!!! I loved it! We spent a long time out there trying to get as dirty as possible. Mom didn't go though. So when we got home we sorta' surprised her with out muddy 4-wheelers and clothes. We did get some pictures, that I will put up soon. We are very close to figuring out the camera. So not too much longer to wait for the pictures.



Parvo


About a week ago, Brutus had stopped eating. We also found blood in his poop. He was also vomiting. So we took him to the vet to see what was wrong with him. The vet told us that Brutus had parvo. So we had to feed him his meds through a needle every three hours. It made us sad. But he is now recovered. He is eating and drinking again, and gaining back weight and spirit. We love our little, well sorta' little, Brutus.

Pups

This is Brutus.

This is Dee.

The two puppies together. Dee, and Brutus.

I was able to get the old camera to work just a little for me. I got some pictures of our puppies. The pictures may be a little weird, because of the camera.

They sure are cute. I love them. We got them around five weeks old. They've just over doubled their size. They are German Shepard crossed with a Cane Corso. They're going to be big beastly dogs.

Worth it all

This is Bugs Bunny

This is Thumper

And this is Skipper.

On Friday the 18th of June. I went out side to feed my animals. When I was walking to my rabbits cage... I noticed that they had been killed. They were lying around out side their cage. I'm not going to really talk about the condition their bodies were in. What ever killed them, ripped right through the wiring of their cage. I had to pick up my rabbits and put them all in their box. April and I spent the next five hours digging their grave, the ground out here is very hard, we made it about 1 foot and 4 inches. My hands hurt with blisters, but with my Dad's help, we were able to get it deep enough for the box to fit. ( The rabbits are HUGE so they filled a large box ) Thanks Dad. That's one of the hard things about living up here, animals kill animals. People don't contain their dogs very well up here. It's a sad truth,,, but the nice thing about being up here is that we have the opportunity to own these animals. It's sad when we loose them, but the times we had with them are worth every bit of the pain.

( I used the old camera to get those pictures, the new one still isn't working. )

Long time

It's been a long time since I've done any thing with the blog. Sorry. A lot has happened since the last bit of news. April had a birthday the day after Kirstie. We also went down into Maricopa to see David's graduation from the police academy. Also we got to visit with Jennifer and Josh... and stay at their house for the time we were there. On our last day there, we went to look at some puppies. Well we fell in love with them... so our Dad gave us TWO of them!!!! Wow, you've just got to love MY Dad. :) They are German Shepard X Cane Corso,,, the Cane Corso is an Italian Mastiff. The girl's name is Dee and she is brindle... The boy's name is Brutus and he is tan with black lining, (marking ). They have tripled in size from the time that we bought them.


Kirstie had her baby. He is beautiful. He was born three weeks early... He was just under seven pounds. His name is John Samuel Garth Young. Long name,,, but it works. He has a lot of hair.


And also in the same week that he was born... I had EFY. ( Especially For Youth ) It was awesome!!!! The food was really bad, but the time spent there was amazing. I would recommend it to every one!!! I made so many new friends, and had some awesome experiences. I hope to get some pictures up of every thing that has happened... but our camera isn't working right now. So just be patient with me and I'll get them up as soon as I can. ;)
