Father's Day Pics

For Father's Day Abagail and I had our pictures taken to make Caleb a little Collage photo picture thing while we were at a family reunion that Caleb wasn't able to get work off for.

We had a blast taking these Abby was so funny, she was laughing at everything.

Puppy Problems!!

My new puppy has a problem! She likes to 'play' with other baby animals. In the playing game the other baby animal usually ends up dead, you know, like little kitty's today it was a baby Muskrat (Which I found out is also called a kitten). I have no idea where she found the sweet little rodent but I found it in my parents back yard a little bit ago, dead as a doornail. The kitty thing was really bad, the neighbour boys have been really big on catching the wild barn kitty's and taming them. Luckily she hasn't gotten a hold of any of those kittens, I think they just have to run away for her to catch them. She doesn't bother any of the friendly ones, then again it could be because they'll chase her back. Anyway My puppy murders other baby animals, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I guess all the gopher hunting is paying off, just not in the areas we were hoping for. She still can't find the gophers unless someone else catches it for her. Then she'll proudly take it away from them. Okay the end of the puppy/muskrat/kitten/kitty story.

On a happier note, about 2 weeks ago I took my horse to his first show. We only entered in two classes and the first one we didn't place and in, it was an English Equitation class for all you horse people and the second was an English Pleasure class and we placed 5th. I was really impressed with him for his first show, especially since he has spent most of his life at a race track. Oh, for everyone not horse in on the horse lingo an equitation class is where they judge the rider and the pleasure class is where they judge the horse on whether or not he is a pleasure to ride. We have another show this coming Thursday night and we'll see how we have improved.
Well I'm not at my computer so we'll get pictures next time. I guess I'll write in about another three months or so. PEACE

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!!! Sorry Lisa I'm not a natural blogger :) But I thought that Easter was a good time to post dome pictures and let everyone know what was going on.
Well our life doesn't change much we are still doing the same old thing. Caleb didn't get into Medical School and has applied to a Masters Program down in Arizona, so we'll see how that all works out.
Abagail was thrilled with her Easter Basket and loves her peeps she calls them 'mallows' and sixlets were the best, she loves sucking htem out of the plastic. Well I'm sorry guys I'm not quite in the blogging mood so this will have to do for now.
I guess we'll see how long it will take fo rme to get back here to post some more pictures.

10 Honest Things

Okay I'm going to follow in Lisa's footsteps and try and to honestly post ten things about me. Again like Lisa don't judge I'm a work in progress. :)

I'm a bossy person, I think it only happens with people I'm close too. Sorry (about that guys)

On the days that I make an extra effort to be up early and be to church on time I usually end up being mad before church because things didn't go the way I wanted.

I am envious of people who could write their own newspaper column with witty things. I wish I was a talented creative writer, like Auntie Ellen.

I will take outside manual labour any day rather than staying inside

My bed has to be made when I go to sleep

I adore my little girl, she is the funniest little girl and plays the crowd like you wouldn't believe.

I love having my horses and dogs, my animals have a calming affect with me.

My kitchen and Living room (any room that people visiting will see) have to be clean. It bothers me if people come to the door and can see in if my house isn't clean, even if it's only the Jehovah's Witness people.

I tend to be a home body. I'm totally content to just hang out at home. I guess I'm introverted.

My family is so fun, I love that we can all hang out and that just being in each others company is fun. We don't have to be doing anything big and spectacular.


Okay if you've read this your tagged. So that mostly comprises of Auntie Ellen and Uncle Josh, Mark and Lisa, Celeste, Lindsay, Amy and Courtney. And anyone else that I haven't though of.

catch up times 20

Okay since Auntie Ellen has pointed blogging is not my specialty. Since I have been so bad at this I need to catch everyone up. So since last time I blogged this handsome man to the left graduated from Washington State University with a Bachelors in Science and a minor in Spanish. The weekend of graduation Pullman had it's first major snow storm of the year and made traveling for everyone a nightmare. I HATE driving in snow! Actually I hate the snow if it's there for more than about a week or two.
After graduation we moved to California and are staying in one of my parents guest houses until we figure out exactly what we are doing. Ultimately I think we are moving to Arizona by August if all else fails, the schools that Caleb really wants to be in the medical programs are in Glendale and in Mesa. If the med. school thing doesn't work out this year i think we are going to get residency there and try again.
Abagail has really started to grow up fast! She is talking everyone's ear off! Every horse is now Comie and every time she see's a cow she moo's at it, all cats are called Todd and riding the lawnmower with mom will put her to sleep in about ten minutes. A couple of weeks ago Abagail had a fit with her bellie button and had to show everyone where her was and theirs. She's pretty funny about certain people and we have found a rhyme or reason to it but there are certain people that she really likes like my brothers girl friend Karli that she likes to sit with right before she goes to bed and people that she will give the dirtiest looks, like Brother Obellero we have no idea why but she hates the temple prep teacher in our ward.
Our next item of new news is that we got, or are geting another dog. We have yet to pick her up, she's in Harvard, Idaho and when we were there to take her she was too young to leave. Only three weeks old. We named her Isis after an Egytian Goddess, we were going through a book actually looking for a name for Cezar when we first got him and liked the name Isis but decided that it was more girly that boyish and decided that if we ever got another dog her name would Isis. So just for everyone who really is curious the name Isis means 'she of the throne' Isis was also thought of as the protectoe of all Egypt, but " is worshipped as the ideal mother and wife, patron of nature and magic; friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, the downtrodden, as well as listening to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers.^(wikipedia) " So the name fit pretty well ( the protector part) her being a Doberman, unless she turns out like Cezar and then she'll only look the part. We picked her out on Christmas day, Abagail had a blast playing with all the puppy's, Muffy the mom had about 12 puppies so it was a lot of fun.
