Can I Just Say Blur? Puppies Too!

We have puppies!

Do you want to meet them? Go Here


       My grand daughter's caption was:
                 "Puppy Love Is Real"

I'd been working on taking puppy pictures. Yep, there's two litters! We have a bundle of girls and three boys. They're all growing so fast our pictures are out-of-date before I can load them. Here's some of my grandchildren's photos.

Dallin, My Grandson's Favorite
I have been trying to be well enough to have my surgery on my thyroid done. And of course, I have another hurtle with my kidney infections not going away. I'm sensitive to a lot of antibiotics. Rare stuff and it's frustrating and really a bunch of nonsense to me.

In between all of my trying to stay on the healthy-side...we had a great Christmas with everyone around here and New Year's with our oldest daughter and grand daughter. So many of our family were gone or sick and we thought we'd be be on our own. Surprise! We had company! We had so much food and great leftovers. Really traditional. Very grateful for a New Year and a new start. 

 
I'll have to add some Christmas information and pictures in between blogs posts somewhere.

One of my Wyoming daughters surprised us and on Jan. 3rd. It was cold, but clear there in Wyoming, and super good weather here so beautiful. Kiely and baby flew-in to stay a week with us. She brought our youngest granddaughter Dune. I was so happy to see "the baby!" "The baby!" "The baby!" Echoes...


Kiely, as she stepped out of the Toyota FJ... said, "Darby is having puppies!" and then glared at me, puzzled. I totally didn't know! I think she thought we were going to surprise her. Darby let us know she was going to have puppies when she greeted Kiely. She was filled with milk. Darby wasn't supposed to have anymore litters and she waited for Kiely, her best friend and "Kindred Spirit." Darby had the puppies the next day and Kiely helped her. I know! How could we have missed this? We just thought she was eating a lot.


Kiely and Dune had a busy time. They went to Disneyland and Kiely was able to visit with old high school chums. Steve and I were in heaven watching our Dune sashay around the house entertaining us. We even had a family party here. I bought (you'll never guess) the movie, "Frozen" so we could make the Wyomingites feel at home. We've had wonderful warm weather here and all just so fun. All of us missed the working daddy, Matt. And I'm so thankful to him for sacrificing so much for us, that we could see each other again. I needed a "Baby Dune" fix.

Tanner the oldest grandson, did get stuck-in-the-mud in the arena. Okay, everyone whipped-out their phones to save Tanner's embarrassing moment for posterity. Tanner did get his car buried!

Marnie's Family went also! It's a "monthly thing" for them.


Our Neighbor's! Our daughter and family!


              The Beach! Of Course!

                    The Hot Spots!

            Dune's An "Animal Lover* 
                    Like Her Mother

All the livestock were just drawn to the little person here on the place, even the chickens. I need to go back over this post and count how many times I wrote the word, "fun."  I may say "fun" but in my heart it's "joy!"


Dune looks like her great grandmother. Their hands are placed just the same. Steve's mother is 91 and Dune Marie, is 1 years old and was named after her Norwegian great grandmother, Dune Marie Patten Lazenby. Both Dunes were born in Payson, Utah. Fancy that! 

Is This Just The Sweetest Picture?
I should stop here...need to get busy and load puppy photos on the Queensland Heeler page. I have so much more to add here on my blog for my family. I know they wouldn't want to miss our sheep shearing marathon. Exciting and fun!
