The montage of our Disneyland vacation is finally finished! I will probably add some of the video clips later, but this is almost 10 minutes long so that should keep you occupied! We spent Friday and Saturday at Disneyland, went to church at the "Mickey Mouse" ward (the ward that has Disneyland in it's boundaries - it's not really called that), drove up to Oxnard and saw Nina's parents, went to the beach / pier in Oxnard, spent Monday at Olvera Street in downtown LA then came home. It was a very quick, wonderful trip! So many fabulous memories!!!!

Well the day has finally arrived! The puppies are all grown up and ready to find new homes. You know you want one. You really do. Although they really are much cuter in pairs. Tell you what... for a limited time only (not really) we will give you two puppies 100% off. They are FREE to begin with so you can do the math! There are 10 girls and one boy still available. Act now before they're all gone!
The biggest one is a boy. We call him Buddy. The smallest one is the black girl with the white paws and white spot on her nose. We call her Socks. We think Buddy is the only one who will have the St. Bernard prominent in him. They all have short hair like Dude (Beagle). We love these pups and we know you will too! (Do I sound deperate enough yet???) :-)

As you can see we spent President's Day weekend in Anaheim at the happiest place on earth: Disneyland!!!
I have a ton of pics and videos to post, but life is crazy today so I will get on that later this week.
The puppies are huge and are eating real food so they will be ready to go by the end of next week. Hooray! They are so cute... I want to keep them all, but we know that 15 dogs in our little yard would be rediculous.
Have a great week!

Rachel said something tonight that had us rolling and it reminded me of another experience I never recorded.
We went to Tim's 30th Birthday party in Casa Grande tonight and the girls played with his nephew Evan. The girls were doing ballet and Evan was doing his own boyish version. We just got home and Rachel was showing us her new dance moves. She did a crazy jumping spin move and I said, "She got that from Evan". Rachel got upset and said, "No, I learned it from Jesus. He totally knows how to dance like that!" You learn something new everyday.
A few months ago Kalet cut 12 inches off Rachel's hair so we could donate it. We told Rachel it was going to little girls who don't have any hair. A few weeks later Cyd (Dyan's mom who is going through Chemo again) came to church to hear Dyan speak. She had shaved her head a few weeks before. Rachel kept staring at her and finally leaned over to me and said, "Mommy, Dyan's mommy can have my hair!" She sat and thought for a moment then continued, "But I don't know how we will tape it to her head." When we told Cyd she just laughed. We love you Cyd!

THESE ARE JAY'S RESULTS!!!
Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

So I've heard on the news today that Mitt will be dropping out of the race later today. I am so frustrated. How can America be so blind? We are going to nominate democrate wanna-be McCain to go up against a democrate. Who do you vote for then? The lesser of the two evils? AHHHHH!
I am behind you 100% Mitt! I wish it had worked out!
Margaret Patargaret. My new name acording to Jayne. You may have already known that my name is Margaret. If not, now you do. You may ask how a mother and father could look at a newborn baby and think Margaret was a good name. I have wondered the same thing for years. Don't get me wrong. I think Margaret is a lovely name for a grandma. Not a child. I keep trying to let go of my feelings about it, but it is my name and it keeps coming up. Today when Jayne called me "Margaret Patargaret" was the worst. She is always making up cute names for everyone (she gets is from my dad), but this name is definitely one that will not be spoken again in my house.
How do you feel about your name?

This test is interesting. I don't know if this is really me, but I thought I would post it anyway. Try it out for yourself!
You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!

Well, I got courageous and (a little bit stupid) and decided to let Rachel feed the puppies. She shakes them a lot. We call her Elmyra (from Tiny Toon Adventures) because she is just so lovingly abusive to the poor little things.
I tried to only include the loving videos here. Enjoy!
The puppies are up and walking around with their eyes open!

The puppies had some visitors this last week.
Cole (Jay's cousin Tyler's son) came and LOVED playing with "cookie". His grandma Brinkerhoff's dog is named Cookie so now every dog is "cookie". He was so fun to watch!
Yesterday Amanda brought Maribel and Joey over to meet the pups.
Maribel got brave and held every one!
Cuddling with Manda
Joey was tentative about the whole thing, but agreed to pose for the picture.
He insisted on using the doggy door. I just couldn't resist!
Jay's results...
I'm a Mazda Miata!
