SAYING GOODBYE TO THE PUPS

allie • July 29, 2014

The day has come when we said goodbye to our cute little pups we have been loving on the last 8 weeks.

It was so fun to see Neeko be such a good momma, especially after we took the pups in to the vet and found out that older dogs usually don’t make good moms.

She was amazing….

And the kids had a blast with them too…

Even when they pulled on Kynlees ponytail and bit their toes:)

The last puppy left Sunday, and although it was a bit hard to say goodbye, it was a bit of relief as well.  They were getting so big it was getting harder and harder to take care of them.  And they thought all of my landscaping was a jungle for them to trample on…

There used to be a tall grass to the right of the door.  Demolished.

It did help that we kept one…..

The chubbiest one of the group.  We were going to call her moto moto but ended up with Tika (pronounced Teeka) instead.  Apparently it’s a gun company.  Ry thought it would be a great name for our baby, but when I ick snayed that we settled on it for the dog:)

Neeko enjoyed keeping one too!

She’s quite the sweetie…

Tate is doing such a great job taking care of her.  I think she’ll be his puppy.  She’s sleeping in his room at night in the kennel and has been an all star.  She hasn’t even cried.

Which is good, cause there is another baby coming soon…

photo (44) Excuse the messy bed, that’s what a Sunday morning before church will get you….always in a rush.  Anyway, I’m at 37 weeks and at my dr. appt last week I was measuring a 3.  It’s getting so exciting and I am seriously DYING to know what gender it’s going to be!!  Hopefully we’ll find out soon!!!

If you want to follow along on instagram @prvbsthirtyonegirl you can see pics in between posts and may probably just get a sneak peak at baby Lundeen;)

The Oaks final outdoor reveal
By Allie Lundeen August 14, 2025
I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
