Camping!

Yes it's true... I really went camping! Six adults and eight kids.... It was a blast for everyone.... we ate really, really well and had a great time!

Abigail and her besties.....

I think the boys were trying to get a water bottle to explode here....

The river where we swam....

Abigail was making herself a shirley temple here.... even if it does look a little suspect.

Can't wait til we go again!!

Photo tip of the day.... (#1)

Horsey birthday treats

Abigail's horse, Max, had a birthday last month and she wanted to make some birthday treats for him and the other horses.... looks tasty!

Salty says, "Give me more!"

Goose isn't quite so sure...

Max wasn't quite as excited about having a birthday as Abigail was..... but I am sure he appreciated her treat!

First SF Giants game

The kids went with my parents and some of my mom's family to a Giants baseball game over the weekend....

Moving buildings....

We have a history of picking buildings up and moving them if they aren't in the best spot....

So little

I was going through some old pictures to prepare some material for a photography class that Sandi and are teaching and came across this..... they look so little.

Birthday poem

Abigail gave this to me for my birthday in March...

So true.....

J.T's baseball team

Here are the team photos from J.T.'s baseball team. And no, I didn't take them. :-)

Love by J.T.

Daisy Mae

This is our "guard" dog, Daisy.  She actually looks kind of mean and scary in this picture. She was the runt of her litter.  We have two of her sisters as guard dogs for the sheep in Ferndale.  I love having Daisy around home, but she's been barking at night.  I'm not sure if its an animal or her shadow.  Who knows.  We want her to be protective but the barking is driving us crazy..... not to mention interfering with our sleep! I've tried to have a talk with Daisy and it doesn't seem to be working....  ;-)

Another hit.... great season!!

J.T. got another hit at last night's game!  It was a great way to end the season.... And his team is the league champs!

First hit

J.T. got his first little league hit in yesterday's game.... and it was a double. We are so proud of him!!
