Special Delivery!


Lyle n I decided it was time to breed Jaz and so at the beginning of September, we sent her to spend time with a stud. It was a great set up for the dog because there was a pool n all in the enclosure.


The stud was a pure chocolate lab too, and was a champion hunter with a line of champ hunters.

About Oct 22, Lyle's parents came for a visit and looked at Jaz and kept saying anytime...well three days after they left, Jaz caught us off guard by showing signs Tuesday night so Lyle set up the pen with a box and checked on her all night...well she decided to wait and start having them midday on Wednesday.
It was such a cool experience to go through (my first) and we got to share it with our neighbors and friends. She had the Wednesday, October 27th, 2010. We thought at first that she was only going to have females since the first 6 were girls but the last was a male-and all are chocolate! It's all a rare combination but so fun!
Jaz has changed so much and is such a good mother! She of course has her times of wanting to be away from them which is funny but can you blame her?! What mother wouldn't need time away from her 7 crying children! :) but of course she goes right back to them and cares for them.




Oh and it's perfect because the puppies will be grown n ready to seel two weeks before Christmas!
Anyone want a chocolate lab puppy for Christmas?

Happy Halloween



I forgot to get pictures other than these two but Lyle went as a knight (he didn't want to go to the ward party but I convinced him and then he decided to go wiht his sword and all was better!) and I went as a smartie pants (smarties pinned to my pants) but of course Audrey was the best in hers from her Tia.

we spent the day with our cousins at the zoo. This place was huge and had so many fun things to see!
Christian hadn't napped the whole time n at one point he was slap happy n laughing at EVERYTHING! :)
All the kiddos passed out on the ride home.

Heaven Sent

Lyle n I have been needing to fix our roof and we were trying to decide when to do it. Finally, we decided that we would do it around Thanksgiving even though we didn't know how we were going to pay for it. Literally, a week after our decision, our house was hammered by an unusual hail storm and it tore our roof apart even more so we now have money to fully fix the roof!
It was truly a blessing!
