We're 5 days old today....

The puppies are 5 today..I did have the days all wrong. Since they were born at 12:30am on the 25th, today would be day 5 :). Most of them are trying to get up and walk instead of crawl over to their mama! They are soooo cute and I LOVE watching and hold them. I can't wait to see what next week is going to be like and how big they'll be. They should start opening their eyes in he next 5-13 days. That will be exciting :).

Here's are day 5 pics: Enjoy:

Holiday Card featured on Minted.com

One of my Holiday cards was chosen to be sold on www.minted.com . Below are the two colors they will have on their website closer to the Holiday's. This is very exciting and cool for me. Thanks to all of you who voted! I'll post once I see the designs are ready to be ordered.

Puppies at Day 4:

Day 4 is still the same as others. They are sweet, cute, loud, but sleeping more. gabby is being a very good mama still, so that's good!

I've named them all, but don't have a CLUE as to whos who - hehe!
Females: Minnie, Daisy, Dixie, Ariel, Cinderella, Tink, Beauty, and Betty Boop
Males: Mickey & Prince

haha - I know, but it's fun! Here are day 4 pics.

Day 3...

Today is day 3. They are getting cuter & bigger, but Gabby is getting skinnier....That's ok though, she's getting lots of good food. The puppies still do their little squalling thing, but it's so cute. Gabby has actually been really good w/them, so that's a relief.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. To answer all those questions...

Steph: yes, she's been really good, she was really scaring me the 1st day [I had to take the afternoon off to make sure the pups would be ok], but since then she's been wonderful (:

Sarah/Amy: So far, we have maybe 5 takers, but only 1 of the 5 are 100%...and that's Jenn/Blanton [they are the reason we did all this(:] So, yep the others don't have any owners yet....I guess we'll see once 6 weeks comes.

Court: love your comment - you are too funny. I guess if Courtney/Evan are takers, that would make it 6 (: hehe! I bet Cash would be happy w/a friend...wonder what you'll name it? Dash? (: haha!

Well, Thanks for all the comments, I tell Gabby of all the wonderful comments about her and her babies too :)

Puppy Pics day 1 & 2

Here are the pictures from day 1 and 2. I will assume I'll post a picture a day of the cute little things :)

PS: The puppies were born on Sarge's B'day (he got some yummy ice cream from Shake's for his bday). When they get older I'm going to take them to play w/aggie and Sarge - :)

we have PUPPIES!!!

We have puppies! They are soooo cute and adorable....noisey right now, but that's ok. Gabby actually had 12 PUPS!!! YES, 12! 2 sadly passed away, so now we have 10 little munchkin. 8 females [wow, I know] and 2 males. I can't wait until they get a little older, so we can play :).
Here are a few pics I took from my phone [had to send them to my parents & grammy, b/c they are in Alabama] that and I was too tired to upload the camera pics as we were up from 12:00am - 5:30am :).

Enjoy these for now....

Thanks goodness for FRIDAY's

It's FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!! YAY! We love Fridays...why? Well, b/c it's the weekend and we have 2 days to do ANYTHING we want....and since we're done for major house projects at the moment to us that means being BUMS ;)

HOWEVER....

We have some puppies on the way, that have not come yet. Her due days are Thursday [yesterday] - Tuesday, the 24th! I really hope we have them this weekend that way we're not up in the middle of the night on a week night. Plus, it'll be lots of fun to play with them over the weekend. Below are pic of Miss Gabby & her duckie. I took some of her while she was 'flying' her duckie - hehe.... There's also a pic of Aggie & Sarge :)

That's really all that's going on with us right now. I did get a very exciting opportunity with my photography business, can't wait for that to start! Brant found out if he refers people to Web Unlimited for a website he gets commission! How awesome is that! I will be at the Oil Ranch shooting pictures of the owners grand opening on July 4th - bring your kiddos out, it looks like a lot of fun!

I think that's pretty much all that's going on in our world right now, until we have those pups :).

Happy Friday!!!

JMHickerson Photography & Design Blog has a new face lift

My Photography & Design blog has a new blog design. I love it! I worked with Larra of LP Designz to create this super cute and fun blog. I actually did the design while she helped fix the background and actually did all the html coding techy stuff. We worked well together and this is the outcome!

Go check out her fun/cute blog as well. She would be happy to make a blog for you, if you're interested!

My next goal is to give my Website a matching face lift - be on the look out for that!

I may re-do this blog, but probably just the header for now (:
Enjoy-

Weekend of Fun and Relaxation

Friday:
WE LOVE Fridays - - why? b/c we have 2 days of NO WORK! This Friday was especially as you saw below we got a new car :o)...Brant LOVES his new car as this morning we just sat in it, not going anywhere - haha!

Saturday:
Ran a lot of errands in the morning, got inspection, gift for shower, went to the mall, etc. I chatted w/my cousin discussing their invitation business and my stationery business combining :o) - that will be fun! Then, we started getting ready for Miles & Jennifer's Shower....It was a lot of fun. The party was in the barn - -dancing, drinking, and chit chatting :)....

Sunday:
Today was RELAXATION day - - gotta love those! We've watched 2 movies (Over her dead body and Fools Gold) - both good/funny movies! I've also made a lot of Christmas designs for this context at www.minted.com...I'm posting a few below and will probably put them on my Stationery Shop.

Any ways, it's been a great weekend, sad it's almost over, but Friday will come soon again :).

If you like any of the designs below, just let me know :)

Puppies and Cars!

Gabby is going to have little puppies. We took her to breed early March, we thought she didn't take b/c she wasn't showing, but this past week she has grown and keeps growing!!!

We're excited to see the little puppies and see how many she has. She should be having them in about 15-17 days, so we'll be getting ready for that - hehe!

I'm sure I'll have lots of pictures to show when they are here!

We also have a new 'member' to the family. Brant got a new car yesterday - woo hoo! He loves it and it's the exact color he wanted too! (it's not my fav, but it's cute) ;).

Here's a few pics or Gabs and the new car :)

Kitchen pretty much complete

I finished painting the kitchen today. Took me 3 HOURS!!!!! Yeah, that's a long time, but I had to tape, then paint, paint in weird ways that is! I love how the green looks by the wood, turned out rather nicely :) Here's before and after pics. :)
