How quickly they grow!

After having a nice, adult like conversation with my son this morning, it donned on my how big he is getting! It seems like just yesterday he was fighting me about having to take naps! Here are a couple pics of him NOW:
.....and back then when he was so little and innocent!

Finally! A new post to catch y'all up!

We are still alive and kicking!...It is the camera that is not!
So, here is a couple pictures that I got off the old camera....it will do for now! My new camera is ordered, and we are waiting for the delivery any day!!
We went out Sunday evening to look at the elk herd out of Sedro Woolley...here is Maggie enjoying the view from the TOP rail of the fence!!! This picture is a little blurry, and grainy, but here is the biggest bull out the group that we saw! It was tired after chasing his cows all around the meadow. But he did stop and look at us this once to get a picture!
Nick with Maggie Jo & Zeke! They loved getting down and running around this big open space! Maggie would spot the elk, and stand their and point, just like a bird dog! I told Nick he should take her hunting....he didn't even think I was funny! I guess "Real" hunters don't take their poodles into elk camp!
Abi and Zeke trying to wake up.....moved from bed to the couch, but neither look too ambitious!
Highschool must be exhausting!

I love getting bargains! Found this for practically nothing...and it has 7 pieces to it in all. We love it and eat outside everynight we are home! Abi had gotten me this cute little snail for my yard on Mother's Day. He is the only snail I will allow next to my flowers! Thanks Abi!

More pictures!

More pictures........
Abi visiting Minnie Mouse...darling house! At San Diego zoo the men needed a rest; Sal, G'pa Ross & Talon They said it felt so good, just the thought of vibrating my feet made me cringe!
This Peacock loved Abi....when ever she would walk by it, it would display it's feathers for her. It even followed her....she began to become embarrassed by it!
Talon & Abi next to the cactus. Tal threatened to let Abi fall back into the prickles!
