About my family and I.....

Some information about my family and I:

I married my husband 10 years ago this past September.  In those 10 years we have welcomed 3 babies of our own.  I have been blessed with being able to be a stay at home mom and I love every second of it!  Our kiddos are 9, 7 and almost 2.  We have lived mostly in Central Oregon but did take a wild venture to Texas and Gresham, OR. for approx. 3 years before returning to our real home.  We live on 10 acres with the extra special bonus of living next to my parents on 50 acres and on the other side of my parents with 20 acres lives my sister, her husband and my nephew and niece.  My kids have enjoyed growing up around their grandparents cows and horses.  We have raised pigs, chickens and of course beautiful golden retrievers.  We welcomed our first golden into our home when our first child was 10 months old and she has been such a perfect fit for us.  Our next 3 goldens were welcomed approx 3 years ago and we have been quite a busy family since! This litter with Macy is her second and our 6th total litter, it gets more fun with each litter!   

We raise family golden retrievers and are in search for wonderful families for our little goldens.   

Below are my human babies: Luke, Calisee (Game of Thrones) and Dylan, 

you will see a lot of them on this blog!

Friday night snuggles!

Today we took the kids to an animated dinosaur event at the fair grounds.  Part of the event was outside and it was cold!  We came home and had hot chocolate and puppy snuggles!  What a great Friday!

Baby it's COLD outside!

Marley, our cousins golden does NOT want to go outside!
It's now noon and he is still on the couch!  

Thank you Tiffany for the adorable video!

3 1/2 weeks old and we got SNOW!

The pups are nestled warm in our insulated garage that stays around 60 without any extra heat.  

I have a heater that I run now and again to make sure they are staying toasty warm.  They have so much "extra love" on them and snuggle that they don't mind when it hits 60.  

The big dogs LOVED the snow and can't get enough play time outside, even at 6 degrees this morning when I took them out they wanted to stay and play. BBBBRRRRR!!!

3 weeks old!

The puppies are now three weeks old and are starting to show some attitude!  They are starting to bark and play with each other and mom.  We have had so much fun with them and our boys can't wait for them to get older and more playful!

I have been so busy and have a lot of pictures from the past week+.  So...... here is a recap :)

 I just had to post these!  Above is Macy two years ago!  She enjoyed every second playing in the snow!

Busy Busy time of year! So much fun!

Hi all!  We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We have been so busy with puppies, family, school, Thanksgiving and Christmas decorating that I haven't updated the blog in over a week. I have lots of pictures I am working on posting and should have them up this weekend.

I start advertising to find forever homes for our puppies this week.

Below are a few pictures from our last week :)
