Creation Day Three and Four

Noey woke-up to flowers over his table. :)



He made a sun and we hung him up.


I love how he holds up his creations to show me now. My dear baby so capable. :)



We took a square of construction paper, poked holes in it with a pencil, and help it in front of our flashlight to create the stars.


We played in the dirt to celebrate the land God made.







Remy was out there with us finding bugs for his school work.


The weenie girls were lazing it up in the sun and tall grass.



Puglet girl was all up in our "beeswax".


I found this idea on Pinterest and we had to make one of our own to celebrate the creation of the flowers and trees.

Big brother's are the best helpers.



Noey added his flower and sun to his world.


He really enjoyed playing in the dirt and making that sun. :)



Poor Puglet Girl :(

So...a little after the hawk attack Phoebe leaped from one of the boys arms and broke the bone near her joint. She has a very expensive screw in her bone and there have been some complications with that. She doesn't seem to notice though. Crazy puggy girl of mine. :)


We have been spoiling her rotten. She hasn't been in the bandages the whole time, but we have had to keep her as calm as possible. NOT EASY!








Doesn't she look pathetic!?

Hawk Attack!

Before Christmas my little puglet puppy was almost carried away by a HAWK! Elijah was walking her outside, not on a leash, but in our fenced backyard. He turned for just a moment and the hawk took that moment to swoop down and attempt to take her for its meal. Eli was right there and heard the squealing. He thought the puppy was behind him because she always stays right by our feet. He thought the hawk was hurt. He stomped and screamed at it to see if that would scare it off. He thought the yelping was the hawk, maybe it was hurt. He startled the bird at just the right moment because it released its hold on the pups head and flew off. Elijah said its wings never folded up...he was ready for flight. The puppy fought back and with Elijah right there he didn't have a chance to carry it off. It was so close to the pups eye and almost took her eye! We rushed her to the vet where we were told that this happens ALOT. This is not a tale that has been passed down. One of the vet techs neighbors had their yorkie pup taken off by a hawk. Another one saw their pup taken and eaten by an owl. The bigger the dog is they will fly up and drop them to the ground to kill them and then rip them apart to take back to the nest. Conservationists can say whatever they want, but just the two vets we spoke to and friends and family members, shows that this is a regular thing with hawks.


I have heard so many accounts of it by now that I can't believe this isn't common knowledge. Always walk your pets on a leash, always. The vet also said that most "lost" pups that were let out to walk and you can't find them or find how they got out of a "safe" spot in the yard, chances are they could have been taken by a hawk. Please walk your little ones. If Eli had not been there she would be gone.


You can see how the pups head was in the hawks talons here.





This is the eye that was almost taken...just one more smidgen of that one talon.





Pass it on!

Puppy Fortress

These blocks belonged  to the big boys and they have been passed on to Noey Boos. He loves to play with them and the big boys play with them at the same time. ;) Don't you love toys like that?





What should little boys build with big blocks? A puppy fortress. ;)





"Mommy, save me!"








Poor puppy, she is so loved.
