Gunner VanHouse

Here he is, 8 weeks old. Just a little peanut!



and here are my guys while we were fishing at the gunflint!

A busy 2 weeks ahead!

So in 7 days we will be proud parents of this little guy. We can't wait to go and pick him up! Next Sunday we will be traveling to Hastings MN to get him, Derek wanted to leave here at 4am, lucky the best time to pick him up would be 11am, so I will be sleeping in till 7ish. So today I will be puppy proofing our house. So here is an updated picture of our little guy:

Yesterday Derek and I went to Duluth to get some stuff on our registry, pick up puppy supplies, and to get stuff for our mini honeymoon at the Gunflint in two weeks. While we were having lunch/ dinner I talked Derek into going to HOM furniture. We had received a GC for Xmas from my parents for a hall bench, and I wanted to look at kitchen tables, although really comfy, our current one just doesn't match the rest of our current furniture. So we got the table and chair set that does, and a hall bench that I am just in LOVE with! Here is a sneak peak of the table, and our hutch is in the background too (they don't have a picture of the entry bench)

So we pick up this set on Monday or Tuesday after I get off work at the CU. This week Ashley is also having her first Pampered chef party, she has become a representative. This is a great option for her, she'll be able to work as little or as much as she wants and then still be able to be a stay at home mom for Anna, I wish her the best of luck with her new chapter in her life! On Thursday we will be fishing at Lax Lake in the fishing league. They have 100% payout and we will be fishing for Northern, lets hope for a big one! Then I will be working on Saturday night at the cove, pick up our puppy on Sunday. On the following Monday I will be bringing him for his vet check to so we will receive his 1 year health guarantee. I am working on Tuesday and Wednesday night at the Cove and then we leave on Thursday for the Gunflint. I am not even going to get into the week after that. So lets hope for a relaxing time at the Gunflint, because after these next two weeks I think we are going to need it!

Here's is a picture

Isn't he cute!!!

Finally a baby!!!

No Aunties, I am sorry I am not pregnant, but I am going to be a mommy! He has bleach blonde wavy hair, long ears and a stubby little tail. I can't wait to meet him!! We have purchased our cocker spaniel puppy!! I have been on a waiting list for a breeder in MN for about a month. Well on monday she emailed me and told me she had one little silver buff boy available if I was interested. I think my exact anwser was, WE'LL TAKE HIM!!! Now we are trying to decide on a name....I have a list of about 20, derek has one, hopefully we can compromise, but I know as soon as I see him I will know his name. After I got Riley (my female lab) I always said I was going to get a boy and name him Rowdy, well I don't know if it will fit my new little boy...but I guess we will see! No pictures of him to show you yet, the one I have is saved on my work email. But be prepared to be bombared with pictures of our little guy soon, we will get to meet our baby on Aug 18 when he comes home, can't wait!
