We have puppies...

Life for us a little hecktic right now, just to fill you in. Jason is living in an apartment in Birmingham, Alabama(2 1/2 hours away) and has been for about a month and a half, he has a new store there. So our house in Chattanooga, Tennessee is on the market while I am working and staying there...by myself!!. Not the funniest thing but it's life, we are making it work! I visit often. So I decided to leave FAT Tinkerbell with him so he's not by himself and she's prego. Of course the wedding plans are still needing attention and I just took that trip to Boise to see the fam!!

Tinkerbell is the proud mommy of 6 puppies, two boys and four girls (cause girls are best!). It was interesting to say the least. On Sunday she started nesting(digging) really bad and panting lots(which mean it's in the next couple days or sooner) and I wasn't planning on coming to Birmingham until Monday morning. But I drove there later Sunday night to get everything ready just in case. On Tuesday I knew they were coming soon she just wasn't acting right so 2:30 am her water broke, first baby Bama(that's the only one we have named so far) came at about 6:30 am and about 20 minutes later a still born, then at 9:45 am after many hours of hard contractions we felt like something was wrong and took her to get a c-section. From then a couple hours later we had 5 more puppies which mean another still born. But the puppies we have our health, adorable and tiring. I get up every 2 hours to let them feed, I feel like I had my own baby(only because I am getting NO sleep, and we all know how much I like my sleep!!)




This is Tinkerbell boyfriend Rufus and the new proud daddy of 6. He is pretty cute himself!!

Look at that tongue!!
Tinkerbell was huge, I couldn't believe that she actually had 8 pups in there!! I had a nickname for her while she was pregro, fatty, fatty 2 bi-four(yes dad I am sure I spelled that wrong)!! hee hee
This was the first born "Bama." So far she's my favorite!
This is all 6 of the puppies, we got a good variety of color thanks to Rufus!

Trip to Boise

Things around here have been extremely crazy busy lately, sorry it's been so long since my last blog. But this one is a good one!! My sister -in-law Katrina (as you may know) recently had a baby girl Sophia "Marie". My mom and I both went to help out and spend quality time with the little ones while she recovered.

This first one is of Aaron in my Ugg boots he liked to wear around the house(Chris is going to be in trouble with that one, he already has expensive taste...huh!!).
This was our day at the Zoo with Aaron, Mom and I!! It was so amazingly beautiful with all the leaves changing colors we just couldn't help ourselves.

He sure did think that lion was pretty cool!!!

I could not believe how adorable baby Sophia was. I really got a understanding of what new mothers go through...wow...and the scary part is I still want one too!!!
Ohh...how big brother loved his little sister and to hold her all the time(until she cried of course, then he wanted nothing to do with her)!!
The Cockrell Family and their new little addition.
So my mom has a theme almost anytime she comes and this time it was "Dinosaurs" everything. She came up with this creative idea to do a big dinosaur dig( oh yes and I had to be the one to hide all 25 of them in the dirt, I think there is still 3 or 4 we never found...whoops!!). Aaron sure did enjoy that day tons!!




This boy sure does love to pose for pictures. Anytime I had the camera out or he saw me taking a picture of anyone else he had to have one also. And after he always wanted to see how they turned out. I couldn't stop myself from taking one of him in his cute little robe though!! I do have to admit I went a little camera happy, but they are so cute and I don't get to see them often enough. I sure had a great trip to Boise it was well worth it!! Thanks to Katrina for putting up with us(I am sure my mom and I are a little louder and out spoken then Katrina's use to around her house for a week plus)!!
