NEW UPDATE!

WOW 3 MONTHS!? It has been 3 months since my last update! I am so sorry and hope that this new year I can be better about updates!

I am so sorry that I am so terrible about this! Not just because it deprives you of our cute updates but because I can't always remember what I need to blog about either :(

So to continue on with my Kiva and Barrel story... I found a new perfect family for barrel!!!! They have 3 little kids and an older dog who needed a new friend. He is such a perfect fit for them! So we began our new search for a new Pomeranian stud. We found the cutest little pup!! So he isn't old enough to breed yet but will be next spring! So we purchased Moose-On-The-Loose! The girls absolutely adore him!!!!! He is the perfect for them, the best size, only he has SO MUCH energy haha! It will be better once the girls can run outside with him :) All of our goat babies went to their new homes except we kept little Huey to be a new herd sire! So TT will be finding a new home :( although I love him a lot!

Then in September (happy birthday to Curtis!) we sold our camping trailer and bought a bigger, better, newer one! It is a toy hauler so we can take our four wheelers in the trailer with us! We are so excited and it has already brought us much joy!! We can't wait for our future camping trips with it! It's maiden voyage was a camping trip for Curtis's birthday. We went out to the west desert which is where we have always gone camping, my parents watched the girlies for us and we spent the weekend on the desert.

September 29th Daisy whelped her puppy. Yes you read that right PUPPY as in singular! SHE ONLY HAD ONE PUPPY! I was shocked! Granted he is HUGE! He is also incredibly CUTE!!! Daisy was the best mom!!! She birthed like a champ, she did want me to hold her the whole time haha but she did well and fed him like a champ! Even after he had weaned before he went to his new home she would still let him nurse haha even though there wasn't any milk! I am so excited for her as a future mother. We sure love her and enjoy her in our family! We named the puppy The Lone Ranger he was immediately picked by his new family and they are the perfect fit for him! They changed his name to Ozzie and he left to live in his new home yesterday November 20th. I miss him so much but his new family is perfect for him and keep in touch well with him. He is going to be so spoiled and very well loved while being trained in agility!

In October I became a distributor for LipSense and it is AMAZING! It is smudge-proof, eat-proof, kiss-proof, everything PROOF Lipcolor! I am obsessed with it! If you don't know about it or are interested in it please ask about it! I'm not pushy haha and I don't want to shove product at people to buy it haha but if you want to order or hear more about it let me know :) It is seriously life changing!

The girls had a great Halloween! Lizzi was a bumble bee and McKenna was a ladybug they looked so darling!!! They loved trick or treating even though it was cold, we had a little trailer hooked up to our four wheeler and Curtis drove us around. It was a lot of fun plus the girls didn't have to walk :) win win!

Also at the end of October Kya was ready to be bred!! Since Moose isn't old enough to breed yet I found a very handsome stud! I am so excited we are very confident in New Years Puppies!! :)

November 3rd I had an unexpected surprise! So our goats have been together for breeding for spring kids (I like to have March/April kids because the time of year is much nicer!) I went out to feed and had noticed Almond Joy was starting to develop an udder. I checked her on the morning of the 3rd and she was in labor, I separated her from the rest of the herd and that afternoon I had two little boys on the ground! Timone and Pumba ;) they are going to the same home that Dewey and Louie went to :) They will be spoiled rotten there Diane is the sweetest lady!

Also this last week Kiva was ready to be bred as well :) she was apparently jealous of Kya getting all the love haha so we used the same stud with Kiva. We should be expecting a litter out of her 2 weeks after Kya :D So yay for two litters of Pomsky Puppies within 2 weeks of the new years!!!! :D We cannot wait to see what colors we get!!

We took family pictures but they didn't turn out super great so we might retake them! Which I think we may do because on November 11th I chopped my hair off :D I am so in love with my sassy hair and it is so easy now! I did do a chemical straightener so I don't have to worry about my curls! I think I may keep it for a while!

I also started nannying a little girl in our town. She is 3 and so much fun for lizzi to play with. We have her from 5:30am until 2:30pm so it isn't too bad. She also has preschool twice a week so that is fun! We like having her around most of the time haha she and Lizzi do fight a little bit but that is to be expected hah we are all learning to share.

So when I posted in August I thought that we would have a walker soon.... no we don't haha McKenna has no interest in walking on her own lol she will walk if she is holding your hands (at least a few steps but not by herself) or if she has a toy or something to hold on to. Some day we will get there haha.

Now for photo updates! :D

Another Full Family Update

Life is crazy!! We are so busy and I feel like I barely have time to do everything that needs done let alone have time to keep the blog updated too!!! So I am sorry that we are MIA a lot of the time, one of these days life will slow down some right? Anyway for now, I will catch up on what has been happening with all of us!

Curt is still working at Three Men and a Shovel and most of the time he really enjoys it. Everyday it's all sunshine and rainbows but nothing ever is. He and I are still teaching our Sunday School Class and we love this kids, even though they are little stinkers sometimes.

I have sold all the puppies that were born in my last post they are all with their new homes now. LuLu, Marshmallow, and Oreo had their babies in the last few weeks. Marshmallow had a single doe July 31st her new owners have named her Molly. LuLu had twins one boy and one girl on August 2nd I named them Ricky and Lucy the new owners that are taking Ricky have named him Poncho and Lucy will go to my cousin Barbara. Oreo had TRIPLETS on August 8th all turned out to be boys but two look like they will have blue eyes! If one keeps blue eyes we will keep him and sell TT to a new ranch. For the time being we have named them Huey, Dewey, and Louie! Lizzi Adores them and thinks they are the most fun to chase and carry around. Kenna is not mobile enough to enjoy the chasing of animals but she enjoys being around them. I had posted last time about Kiva being bred to Barrel for Pomsky puppies due this month.... it didn't happen she had a false pregnancy so I am going to have Barrel tested to make sure he is manly enough to be a stud. If he isn't manly enough then we will have him fixed and hope to find him a new loving family that can be patient with the poor scaredy cat. Then I will begin my search for a new stud either to own or just to stud to until I find the perfect match for my girls genetically. I have done some switching around on animals, Nakita is gone now that her puppies have sold, Rose also went to a Stockdog training center to work with them and is no longer living with us. This means my current dogs are Border Collies, Axle and Daisy, Huskies Kiva, Kya and Koda, Pomeranian Barrel. My goats are all the same except my new goat we had last time got attacked by dogs and died :( so I bought two new ones to replace her Snickers and Mounds. That is me for now, I had my birthday last week and it was lovely! I got the same racing four wheeler we used to have before I had the girls and I couldn't be happier to have it back! I also got the SOFTEST blanket on the planet and I have been wrapped up in it since haha. I also got cards from my family, wood crafts, movies, books, shirts and new gloves for my four wheeler! I love it!! It was a good day, Curt took the day off from work and we spent the whole day as a family.

Lizzi is growing and learning so much! She is definitely in the 2-3 year old stage of everything.....-_- she is into everything and can now open doors and is a pro tantrum thrower. Gotta love it haha this too shall pass right? She is such a great helper though, she will do almost anything you ask. She loves to get up and help me feed animals in the morning. She will come into my room "Morning mom, I wake! Mom get up wess go feed da amals! Oh mom you need some clothes on, I find you some clothes to wear" Apparently pjs no longer count as clothes as an adult haha she then pulls all my clothes out of my drawers so we can go feed "da amals". She wants to carry the food bowls and help get water and hay for the goats. She is also a great big sister is was much more content before Kenna got more mobile haha she isn't such a fan now. She spends most of the day trying to grab the toys she doesn't want McKenna to have saying "no, no Kenna dats mine". She's getting better about sharing but still struggling with the concept most days. She's too smart for her own good, knows sooooooo many words, she narrates our day everyday, knows almost all of her colors she does well thanks to her play dough. She still loves anything and everything Daniel Tiger and watches at least two episodes Monday-Friday. I know I am a terrible mom but this is when I do a quick clean or my daily chore then we spend the rest of the day together.

Kenna this little nugget turned one last week!!!!! I cannot believe it has been a year already! It was the fastest and slowest year of my life! This nugget has brought such a change to our family but we can't imagine life without her here. She is such a funny child and so different from Lizzi that it keeps us on our toes! She has decided it was time to get her teeth, she has cut 7 in the last 3 weeks and it has not been fun for anyone in the house. Now that they are through we are all back to sleeping through the night and playing during the day instead of clinging to mom non-stop!!! HOORAY! She has mastered the official crawling in the last month or two and has mastered pulling herself up to stand as well as started cruising the last couple of weeks. I think we will have a walker before long! She is wanting to stay up with her sister! She still doesn't say much Mom and occasional Dad but Lizzi usually speaks for everyone so she doesn't have much chance haha. She does babble if Lizzi is being quiet enough that she feels she can get some babbles in.

That is us :) We are busy but happy and girls are growing up so fast.
