Trying to get four 4 week old puppies to hold still for a photo is like herding cats........

Puppy Breath

Super duper cuteness!!!!!!!!!

The house is filled with puppies, Phoenix had 4 boys on November 6th. As you can see, they are all black and handsome as can be. If only she had a girl, we would have been keeping one.

Happy Thirteenth Birthday Brooklyn Lee.....

Thank you aunt Roni..... Polka dot panties YAY!!!! I think Jeff fainted .......

Brooklyn has been playing basketball this year for her school team and she is usually on the starting line up. In her last game she scored a great 3 point shot and played for most of the game.

Braces for Brooklyn

Brooklyn went to see our family Orthodontist, Dr Cheney..... All the Hillseth Girls went to him and we all have purty smiles now. He said she has pretty good teeth to begin with but her bite could use a little work. So, hopefully she will have them off by her sophmore year.
