PetSmart Girl

I took Bella to PetSmart and she got her first professional bath and clean up. She was awesome. The lady that did her said she was going to take her home cuz she was soooooo good.

 

It's been a few weeks,

Since I posted a cute pic of Bella. HAHA...

Harry has an interview.

We are so excited and praying that things will go well in Spokane. Harry has an interview in Spokane for a Training Cheif position. Since I have known Harry this is his "Dream Job" he has always said this is what he wanted to do. I hope I am not getting more excited then I should but I know that Heavenly Father will bless us with this job if this is where we should be. It would be so fun to be home, to be able to see my folks more often and spend time at the lake with my family. We have been looking at houses on an MLS site and the price of houseing quit a bit less then it is here. If you are taking the time to read this post please say a prayer for us that things will work out.

The Ward's are in town.

Harry's Mom and Dad are here for a few days. We drove down to Klamath Falls to pick them up on Monday and on the way home we went drove up to Crater Lake. It is always so pretty when we go up there. Here are a few pics from our trip.

She is a dirty girl

I took Bella to the dog park in Bend this week and she had so much fun playing. It was like taking a mud bath. All the dogs would run and slide on there bellies like they were playing mud football. I could not resist letting her play, but getting her home and bathed was another story.









Today she was napping outside and I tried to open the back door without waking her up. It did not work, but she is still soooo cute.

Way to much money.

When ever we go shopping we keep all our receipts in a shoe box. So I started looking through them a few nights ago and separated them in piles. I added up all my WalMart ones and I almost died. Almost $3000 spent at WalMart in 08. I'm sure that is not even all of them. Harry is better at saving them then I am. I wish there was someplace else to shop in this area.

Happy New Years.

Well I have had nothing fun to report on here lately so my blog is not getting updated much. We had a great but VERY quiet Christmas and New Years. Bella is getting bigger daily and she is finally sleeping through the night, well most nights. She is house trained and is a really good girl. She loves to go to the dog park and play with other dogs. Harry and I have been working and not much else these days. We are excited that Harry's Parents will be coming to visit next week for 10 days, we want to try to get up to Spokane so they can see the Cabin and my folks.

Here are a few pics of Bella from this week. She is almost 5 months old.

Where's Bella?

Bella is so funny this week we got about 6 inches of snow, this is her first winter so she was sort of nervous at first, but now she loves to just go out and lay in it until you can hardly see her. She is getting so big and her little personality is really cute. Sammy our 15 yr old cat likes to hold onto Bella's face with his paws and lick her. I can't move fast enough to get a picture but take my word it is really cute. We took her to a dog park last week and she LOVES to play with other dogs. There was 4 other Newfys there and it was cool to see all the different stages of life. I know Blah Blah Blah. Newfy this Newfy that I have it bad for this little girl. And she has Harry wrapped around her paw. Which are huge by the way.

Bella Loves the Snow..

 

My Big Baby.

Bella is getting bigger everyday. I think she grows everytime I leave the house. She loves to lay by her water bowl and her ears are usually in the water.

Outing with Bella

Just some cute pix of Bella.

 

Bella and her Baby

Ok I know you will probably all get sick of puppy posts but sorry. I have a new puppy... I found a stuffed animal after the vet tech said to get a baby for Bella to sleep with, so she will not cry so much at bed time. We will see how it goes tonight. Harry has been really cute with her, it's fun to see him go gaagaa over a little furry animal.

Bella and BubbleGum

We just brought her home last night and she is a dream puppy. But I'm sure that we are in for it. I am loving every minute of this. Her tounge is out all the time and I think it looks like Bubble Gum. We love her.... I am so lucky.

 

Patients and Prayers

Well the house we were going to move into this week fell through. I will not be posting anymore houses on here until we move. The terms of the house kept changing and after seeing the market drop and drop we think we can do better for the dollar. I have been feeling sick for a few days and when we decided that this house was not going to work I felt better almost instantly. I think with patients and prayer we will find the perfect house for us. We are still getting our puppy though. I can't wait until Friday for Bella to come home.

Our New addition to the Family

Please meet Isabella. She is a beautiful Newfoundland and she will be coming to live with us in less then 2 weeks. We are moving into our new home on the 12th and Bella will be coming to stay on the 14th. I know lots of you "family" mostly will think we are crazy. But this is a dream of mine and in the past 4 yrs all my dreams have been coming true. I know you will all fall in love with her when you meet her.

The Secret Life Of Bee's

After I got off work today I was able to go to a movie with a girlfriend. Oh my gosh it was so good. I highly reccomend it. The movie was just as good as the book.

A nice drive up McKenzie Pass.

Well we went for another Sunday drive last week and it has taken me a while to post the pics. We drove up between Mt. Washington and the North Sister. I thought it would be all ruggid and covered with trees but when we got up about 17 miles North of Sisters, it was a Lava field. It reminded me of Craters of the Moon in Idaho. It was really cool, they built a observitory out of lava rock. We drove up past this spot and found a pretty little lake in the trees. I can't wait to get a good telephoto lens for my camera so I can get a better shot of the Mountians.

Pumpkin Fun

Last yr. my crafty Sister Jenne made some really cute pumkins. I got some fall fabric and made my own. They turned out pretty cute.

This is my favorite look for Harry.

You know what's funny? As most of you know I was trapped in a fire over 20 yrs ago and saved by a fireman. I have always had a thing for them so it's fitting that I married one. I love seeing Harry in all his fire garb. "Turn-Out Gear" is what he calls it but I like to call it his Fire OutFit. HEHE... He does not ever know when he is my object of OBSESSION... I mean Affection :o)

Sunday Drive

We decided to head up to Black Butte today after Conference. It is about 5 miles out side of Sisters which is about 20 miles away. Black Butte is a cinder cone and you can drive to the trail head which is about 2 miles from the top. We started hiking up and made it more then half way when we decided to head back down. My battery died when we got to a point where the views were worth pictures. Here are a few pics I did get from today.
