Just doing a little catch up!!

Just some pictures to see what has been going on. Nothing real exciting.
If you remember we got a tree from Sean and Jodi, well it didn't make. We have beem watching it die for awhile now. so we decided to take it out and replace it with some fruit trees three of them. They seem really healthy and we hope they will do well.

Baseball season again. Connor on base.

Austin pitching.

Cierra with something in her teeth. (I know, just something silly to share).

Cierra with it gone.

Shaylyn stayed over night and as always wanted to play games. I taught her how to play Skip-Bo. She caught on really fast. Teri taught me while we were hunting (well the guys were). We had a tournament, guess who won!!

Grandpa always loves to play with the kids!

Brooke is so funny and the last of Grandparents Day!

Jodi was in Utah for the weekend and Sean was painting so we took Brooke for the weekend. She was so good and we really enjoyed spending time with her. Friday we went to the movies and saw Monsters vs Aliens. On Saturday we went over to see how the dogs were doing at the Gaileys, they were still in Arizona. Brooke fell asleep in the car and wasn't real happy when we woke her up. She laid down on the couch and wanted her blanket, she covered up her head. Then her Mom called and she still wouldn't come out from underneath the blanket, but she wanted to talk to her, so I had to hand her the phone, only her hand came out. I was cracking up and knew I had to get a picture. She finally came out when I turned on Sponge Bob Square Pants.

We finished up Grandparents Day with Cierra, then Kaylee and Connor. Cierra is such a sweetheart and actually was shy at first (not like her).

Cierra with her teacher.

Connor came into Kaylee's classroom and ate lunch with us. Then we went to his class. Their teachers seem really great.

If you look in the background you can see a picture of Sean with Kaylee, Connor and Cierra.

Babysitting Dogs and a New Toy !!!

We have been taking care of the Gailey's Puppies while they are on vacation, in the nice weather, at the Mariners spring training in Arizona. I should say Lee has been. Austin, I am sure is in heaven, he really loves sports and even called to let us know that he got an autograph from Ken Griffey. The Puppies are doing very well, but seem to be getting pretty antsy for their family to come home. Kaylee and the other kids have helped. Yesterday they went to Bradley Lake and took them for a good walk. I take watching someones dogs as serious as watching the grandkids, worrying about them getting away, hurt or anything else that could happen. So, Jodi calls me Wednesday night and said they went over to play with the dogs and that one was gone and there was a hole in the fence. I was in a panic and ready to run out the door when she says "April Fools". I was so relieved, but ready to wring her neck, I will get her back. Here are some pictures at the park.


On the way to the park.

Anyone that has walked around this lake will recognize this tree.

OK, now for the new toy. Lee and I have been talking about getting a side by side quad for a while. We had thought we might wait for awhile. But thanks to Jay and Penny for asking us to ride along while they went to look at one. Well you can guess the rest of the story. We were able to get a great deal for buying more then one at a time. No one had to twist our arm, we will have lots of fun and as they say, you only live once! Here are some pictures of Lee, Jodi, Connor, Cierra, Brooke and Meaghan having fun. Kaylee and I are in the house staying warm. The Gailey's are in Arizona, staying warmer.

The guys always like the ditches.

Brooke is having a blast!

Cierra is getting excited to have her Mom give her a ride.

There they go.

Oh yes, does anyone want to buy a quad, it is like new. If you do or know anyone just let us know and we will give you all the details.

Isn't it a beauty!
