Today marks the third year since Kasaundra passed away. I almost don't know what to say.
This morning I was up at 6:00am. and came out to see a beautiful view of the MT. We haven't seen her in a long time. This was not the first picture I took but one of the better ones. I than got Kamea. The boys both got up early and we had breakfast, got ready for school, and had time to play. As we were leaving we saw our "cat" Kanoa. She saw us and ran the other way. We than saw a deer jump a 6ft. fence on 228th. In 15min. we were able to see most of the mountains in Washington. Rainier, Baker, Cascades, and Olympics. I must live in the best place on earth. And feel very thankful for it.

Already has attitude.;)




Brayden took this picture. It was the best of the bunch. I know it's blurry.
Good morning to you all!!!

How we go to bed!!

Every night Bradley reads, sings, and prays with the kids. What a good Daddy!!

Tonight was a little different. He usually has the kids in bed and sits in a chair. But tonight they must have tackled him to the floor!!
And sat on him!!
Brayden is actually reading to Zackery with Daddy's help. It was so cute!!! He would tell Zackery the name of the picture and have him say it back correctly. Again it was so cute!!!

Another Tuesday another lunch with Natalia!!

Today, March 24th, we had Natalia. Of course we went out to eat. The kids love to go out together. Panera was the lunch of choice today.

Some how Brayden and Zackery ended up sitting together.
So that meant I got to sit by Natalia!!!
Can we all sing together? All things living God doth feed, he supplies our every need. For his mercies shall endure, ever faithful ever sure!!!!
Will you stop, I'm eating!! :)
All done!

I even had two sandwiches!! I must be growing!!!

Another Birthday party for grandma!!03-21-09

The day started out with a little more excitement than I wanted. First the bobcat, than the deer. The pictures here are not with them together. That was the not so friendly part. We have decided to name her Kanoa. It means free one in Hawaiian.


These two pictures are from the front door.

Kanoa posed real nice for this picture.

Let the party begin!!

Oh yes that's when the deer came back. My sister took these pictures of the deer.



Grandma was very surprised that we had the whole family over. She thought it was going to be just us. In total there was 25 of us. Only one couldn't make it.







Rose was the last of ten children at the table. I forgot to get the camera out until then.

Phyllis and Dad.

Ken and Mom.


Looks good doesn't she!!





Nothing would be complete with out food. This is after we ate.
And the desserts!!!
A good end to a good party.
