Jaylee Turns One !!

My baby is "ONE"!! crazy how fast time flies! Jaylee turned one last month and it was fun to have all the family over to celebrate. We had dinner and of course "cupcakes" for the cupcake themed party. The day before Jaylee turned one she also started walking. She took her first step at 11 months, but decided crawling was faster. She must of known her birthday was approaching because all she wanted to do was "practice" walking. Too funny and very entertaining to watch. She became a pro in no time!

At first she was very girly like and just kind of picked at her cupcake . . .

Then is was to "heck" with that and chowed down. You go girl!

Jaylee's favorite gift was her own little chair and a fake set of keys and cell phone. (which she still prefers to play with my real cell phone and car keys!! . . . and yes old cell phones don't work, she know's the difference!)

German Shepherd + Poodle = Shepadoddles!!

Yes there is a tiny pup in the car with Logan in the back!

NO I did not make this name up folks! It is a real breed. How our little shepadoodles came about is pretty funny to us. We are the owners of a german shepherd named "TALA" my inlaws own a stadard poodle named "Rex". Our german shepherd was in heat and on like day 11 or 12 we decided to go to the cabin. Us not knowing too much about dogs didn't think she was very fertile anymore. In fact we tried to get an appointment to get her spayed and found out there is like a 4 month wait!! Back to story . . . my inlaws where also up at the cabin and they had their black and white standard poodle there with them. I am yelling at Ryan the entire time to make sure nothing happens and to lock up "Tala". My in laws tell me she is rejecting "Max" therefore she's not intrested and "it" won't happen. I am still NERVOUS because who is going to be taking care of puppies?!?! ME!

So come lunch time we are all at the dining table by a very large window overlooking the wrap around porch and what is going on right in front of our eyes?? Dog porn to the max! AHHHH! My mother in law runs out there and starts pulling on his tail to "unhook" them. NO such luck. Lets just say the rest of the trip was a little tense between Ryan and I.

Low and behold 8 weeks later we have 7 pups! Its kind of funny now because the whole time I am thinking we will have to pay people to take our 7 mutts into their homes until I started to doing some research and found out that these babies are designer breeds! And sell for over a $1000 on the internet and are hard to find!

"Tala" did an absolute wonderful job giving birth (and I mean wonderful . . . not even a yelp out of her!) to all these puppies and did an amazing job taking care of them. It has been an unforgettable experience for our whole family.

We started finding them new homes last week and we only have 2 males left at this point! They are the cutest pups I have seen! We sure will miss all of them!
