Once I was blind but now I see!!!

The puppies are now two weeks old and all their eyes are open! They are sooooo cute!! Some are trying to walk, they look like those bobble head dolls when they do it. Tomorrow they go to the vet to get their first worming. I am still trying to figure out how I am going to take all of them, they have outgrown the box I used last time. Anyway, their still a blessing, they were a blessing two weeks ago when they popped out and their still a blessing two weeks later!!!

Puppies One week Birthday!!!

Things sure do change in a week!!! These pups are getting so big! Everyday they look bigger. With the help of Linzy, I was able to get some new pictures. They are really hard to take pictures of, just when you think you got a good one they move!! Well, Linzy has also named all of them. Well, that is until they get new homes!! Hope you enjoy the pictures!!

Day 2

Lunch Time!! Gracie is doing an excellent job! At times I think she is a little parnoid mommie. One puppie crys and she wakes them all up just to get to that one. She is a very nosey Mommy, she takes after me. However, like I told Mallorie, I dont like to call it being nosey, so we will call it "active parent".

This is how she likes them. She has to have all of them all of the time!! I was trying to swap them out, but she put a stop to that!
coming soon...pictures of my new nursery box!! Thanks to Russ and Jill!!! I love the box!!!!!! It's a stress reducer!!

our first night with 14 puppies!!

Guess how our first night went!! By looking at the picture you can see Bert was up all night. I slept on the couch since I had to work this morning and when I went into the bedroom this is how I found Bert!!! Gracie is a GREAT mom. We tried seperating seven at a time to make sure everyone is getting feed, but Gracie wants ALL her puppies all the time. she is only still and settled when she has all of them!!! Thank God for Victoria!! She is staying with uncle Bert today to help out with all the puppies!!!!

Oh my gosh I have 14 puppies!!!!

14 is a BIG number!! I am at a loss for words!!! I never imagined having this many puppies!!! They are all just beautiful.. If I am right, there are nine boys and five girls!!! The mommy is doing great but TIRED!! I want to know what is the record for having them the fastest. Gracie had all 14 in three hours and thirty minutes!! I have changed her name to fertile Myrtle!! more pics to come!!

PRC Homecoming Dance

My O My! Somebody is growing up!! Here is some pics of Mal and Chase, and also Kelcie and Logan. They are headed out for the Homecoming Dance. Seems like yesterday she was 5. It seems all you have to do is blink and their almost grown.

This pic is of the group after we all ate at Rhonda's. Let me tell you that woman can cook!!!!! Oh my gosh, I made a pig out of myself. I'm going to have to start dropping by there more often. Gumbo and Poboy's!!!!!!!
Chase is a sweet boy he didnt complain at all about the 752 pictures I took!!

I am seriously thinking about sneaking out and going to the dance to take some more pictures, but I am scared I will get caught and that probably wouldn't look to good. I really wanted to take a picture with her before she left, but when I stood by her with those heels on, she was like 7 inches taller than me!! Well that's it. She is a beautiful girl. The best part is that she is first truly beautiful on the inside and to be able to hug her everyday and be with her is a truly a God sent blessing. All of our girls bring us so much joy. God is so good, and I love seeing his hand over our children!!!

Emily!!!

This is Emi. Also known as the BEST Columbia Wildcat cheerleader there is!! Were not bias, just the facts.

We are so very proud of her. She is doing an outstanding job and hopefully one day soon I will be able to figure out how to load the video we have of her halftime performance on the blog. I tried for six hours the other day and as you can see the results of my hard work.....no video, one gray hair and two wrinkles from all the faces I made at the STUPID computer.

Busy Day.

Ok. This is what I felt and looked like this morning when I woke up. The sad part is, is that I stayed liked this all day. I blame most of this on the all the weather people stressing me out. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way I do, but I am really tired of hearing of the hurricane. I think that they started talking about it way to soon, I think that that it ought to be a law that they can only talk about it once it gets into the gulf. It always changes when it gets in there anyway. Linzy and I have been praying every since the weather people have been speaking doom and gloom over it. We decided to rebuke what ever they said and speak positive and life over the storm. What ever happened to speaking things into existence? Our household is firm believers that we can speak things into existence, God says we reap what we sow, being that our word is seed, it would only make sense to speak life. The other Great thing, is remembering that God is so much bigger than any storm and that he is wonderfully known for calming the storms. All the negativity that I have heard on the t.v. last night and this morning had really sucked all the life out of me. Isn't it amazing that negativity wears you out. Being negative is actually hard work. I woke this morning kinda angry that so many people have spoken so much doom over this. Wouldn't it be so nice if these people would have woke up and prayed about the storm before broadcasting the news to us? I think we would have a different out come. This is just the icing on the cake! (no punt intended for my sister's business) The absolutely most ridiculous and dare I say the s word, yes I dare, STUPID thing I have heard this week is this, and I quote " We need to really pray hard and then prepare for the worst". Am I the only one that finds this statement making them choose if they want to laugh out loud and throw an apple at the guy or hurl their recent ingestion of a frozen nutty bar. Yeah its a hard choice. Pray but expect the worse? Hmmm. Why even pray at all if your expecting the worst? I can't quote scripture that well, but I know I have read that we are suppose to "whatever things you ask in prayer, believing you will receive" that kinda is opposite of what was quote earlier. The best part is Linzy picked up on this while we was listening to the radio!! If you all know Linzy, she basically called the man an idiot (which I had to correct her and tell her that it isnt nice to call people idiots, even if they deserve it) and she said he needs another job! Smart kid.
And last but certainly not least the weather man last night said (boy is he a genius) "the direction this storm takes is really gonna depend on whether it goes to the left or to the right" here's your sign!!
Keep us in your prayers, we are leaving tonight to go to work. And if any of you see Opie walking around the neighborhood, please put him back in the fence or take him home with you!!!
