I got the pups these cutest Halloween shirts to send them home in. They looked sooo cute in them even though some of the pups were so hard at getting pictures cuz they always want to be on the move! After all this, I have come to the conclusion that Spencer and I need a baby! Anyone agree that it's time?!?!

Sad, Sad, Sad

Well Buster & Scout both went to their new homes today! We had people come look at them, they liked them and bought them! I have been pretty sad...well devastated! Spencer's been a great shoulder to cry on though! Oliver goes to his new home tomorrow morning. One good thing is I get to keep Bella and Frodo til next weekend and then that is when they go to their new homes! I love these pups so much! It has been a great experience...probably too great! I know they are all going to great homes, but that doesn't change the fact that I will misssss them! Anyone want to offer a hug? I cculd use more...

We have all our puppies sold except Buster and now Scout...

Our VERY playful Scout

Here's our cute little Buster!

Things here have been going good. I have got an awful cold which makes studying sooo hard! I have two tests coming up this Monday and I am not looking forward to it. It definitely is hard to study for two different classes at the same time. Our pups are still sooo good and easy to take care of! I am going to miss them. Three of the pups go to their new homes this Sunday and Bella will go to her new home on Oct. 5th. It is fun to have them around, but I know they are going to good homes! Spencer is working hard like usual and loves to watch football esp. BYU to his wife's dismay, haha!

Chade

Chade is tired of Jess studying!

Cute as ever!!!

I am getting sad that these puppies will be leaving soon. They are so much fun and we love them to death! They are still pretty easy to take care of even though they require more time (we take them outside and we are out there for so long because people crowd around them like crazy, oh well atleast they are getting potty trained!) They love to try and get our attention too. When I walk in the house after I have been at school, they all jump up and try to get to me, I love it! We are going to miss them...tear.

Utah State Fair

This past week was fun. It was time for the Utah State Fair! Going to the fair has been a tradition of my family's ever since before I was born. I have so many fun memories with my brother and cousins like running around, getting in trouble, changing the restroom signs on the bathroom doors (that was hilarious, even though my friend and I got caught:) ) and of course getting beat up by some big girls! Those were the times. It's not the same anymore since all us kids are grown up, but it still is so much fun taking Spencer. It was fun to see my mom, aunt, grandpa, and cousin show. They all did great! Can't wait for next year...and the year after that...and the year after that...etc.

Our pups eat, play, and sleep all in that order! After Bella got through playing, she zonked out right in the toys! Sooo cute!

Tests, work, and pups!

Today was my first test of the semester. Our instructors had told us that they made the tests harder (which I didn't think they could get any worse) and we would probably fail the first one. I was relieved when I walked out of the testing center with a great grade. It is always nice to have the first test out of the way. Only 17 tests to go and then I will be in fourth semester, oh boy! Spencer is enjoying his job. He is one of the top dogs at his company and gets along great with his boss and fellow employees. He has a good time. The pups have been so easy to have around. The crate Spencer made for them is wonderful and it is so easy to keep them clean, but then again I have O.C.D. and love to keep things clean. We have started taking the pups outside and they are going potty out there so that is awesome! We only have the pups for three more weeks and then they are off to their new homes. I will be sad to see them go and I know Spencer will be too. People thought we were crazy to breed Paysley, but it has been a great experience and we have enjoyed taking care of the pups. It hasn't been bad at all. They don't whine at all and are really easy to keep clean.

The pups like to play outside

Oliver, Frodo, and Scout.

Fruit pizza!

This post is for my friend, Krystal! She gave me this recipe and it's awesome! Thank you! I have been trying to cook a lot more and have actually enjoyed it (I know, shocking!). I have found awesome recipes and everything I have made, Spencer and I have really liked! I'm afraid for Spencer's sake that the cooking might be slowing down since school has started atleast until I get in the groove of things. BUT, hey I did make this today and I should be studying! Next time...bigger pizza pan so I can put on more fruit!

Our 4 day weekend!

Spencer & I had a great four day weekend. He didn't have to work Friday or Monday which was great. We finished watching season 3 of Prison Break just in time for season 4 to start tonight. It is an awesome show. As for today, we didn't do much but hang out. My nieces and nephew came to see the pups. They are absolutely in love with them. Their favorite pup is Scout. I guess they talk about him constantly and even made a bed for him, how sweet! Spencer made a pretty big box for the pups so when they get older they will have a confined place to play and it will be easy to keep them clean. I'm so glad my husband is handy! This was my last free weekend without studying. After this week, it's test after test! Aww well! I am glad Spencer and I had a great weekend together! Happy Labor Day!
