Harvest Time and Sports!!

Fall is here and it is time to harvest our orchard. Well at least the three apples on our apple tree. They actually didn't taste too bad. Maybe next year will be better.

Austin is playing tackle football this year. They have the pads and helmets. They look like smaller versions of professionals players. It is fun to watch and very intense, the parents can get pretty crazy, so far it has all been in fun. Austin is #98.

Making a tackle.


Mindy and Shaylyn coming back from looking at team t-shirts for Grandpa (hunter orange).


Connor is playing soccer. Here he is taking a break. He played goalie the 2nd half of the game and did a great job.



He did a great job as goalie. (I looked it up, with my glasses and now have the correct spelling.)



Cierra and Brooke at Connor's game. Not sure who the other little girl is but she's not one of ours.



Cierra, always with a big smile.

Sand Dunes, Birthday and Moths!

Lee and I went to the Sand Dunes in Oregon last week. We had a great time and the weather was perfect, so perfect we stayed an extra day. We were with Jay and Penny and many others that going riding. It is a long drive so we went about half way and stayed in Walmart for the night. This Walmart had a huge parking lot and there were lots of semi's and many RV's there. It seems like they planned the big lot just for people to stay, they know that they would get lots of business from people traveling.
Here is a picture of the beautiful sunset while we were staying at Walmart.
Our truck and trailer parked at Walmart..

Lee getting ready to take off for more riding.

Taking a pit stop. Jay's ready to go.
It is hard to believe how big these sand dunes get, this doesn't really show the size.
Lee's ready to take off, here he is standing by the Ranger Razr. I wasn't sure about it because it is very different from riding a quad. I had fun driving it, but Lee was amazing with it. We were able to go anywhere the rest did and we didn't even have sand tires. I wasn't afraid at all, I had all the confidence in the world riding with Lee. Riding in the trails was so much fun.
Here I am waiting to take off. It was a great week and I am happy that we bought the Razr. Really had a blast.

At Red Robin for Cierra's Birthday. Looks at Cierra's beautiful smile. These kids have it made, they always get two parties.

All the grandkids haging out after dinner.

This moth, at least I think it is a moth was on the window screen (outside). It was kind of cool looking but gave me the willies. It stayed there for several days without moving.
