Another new post... with more updates...

Tok sniffing a turtle that John found on the road.   Apparently he sees them a lot onthe road in the morning on the way to work.  I don't usually notice turtles on the road but do see the road kills- porcupines, possums, and sometimes pets. 

Rebekah spent the summer with her grandparents in Maine and did 2 different plays.  She had a blast but I don't have many pictures. 

Once she returned, school and dance started again.  More running around with dance 3 days a week this year including a class that ends just before church on Weds. night.  Makes for a tight schedule. 

We also have bunny shows and Bek acquired a few new rabbits...  a female Holland Lop named Oreo

And a lovely Jersey Wooley female named Cornflower.

Not a good picture of Cornflower but I can't find another one right now.  She is a beautiful blue color and quite shy. 

Both does are for show and breeding to promote White Alder Bunnies and expand our rabbity just a little. 

Several months later.. a new post

Well the last several months have been busy as usual so I will just hit some of the high lights. 

Rebekah's dance recital was wonderful and she even had a small solo part in the jazz dance.  This picture with white costume is her lyrical dance. The one below is from her jazz dance which was wonderful.

Shortly after dance recital, Bek went to the Church's Girls Camp for a week. Since they needed several men for driving, helping around camp, etc.  John went with them and everyone had a blast.  And I stayed home with the dogs for a quiet week of bliss.  More pictures later. 

Bek's new hobby....

Over the Memorial Day weekend our friends, Shana and Michael Nielsen went to a rabbit show and found some adorable Jersey Wooly babies for Rebekah to show.  She is hoping to show them for 4-H in addition to the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) shows.  Perhaps add a few more as she goes along but we shall see. 

The top picture is Starlight - all white and very small.  The bottom picture is Midnight who is all black.  Both are boys and will grow to about 3 lbs or so. 

New Garden posts to end a crazy week

This week has been crazy and very eventual so we thought we would end with some calming pictures of our peaches and the piles of dog hair coming out of Tok.

Just a few of the many peaches on our peach tree. 

This is one branch of the tree which is way overloaded.  If we have a hurricane the tree will snap for sure.  But if not, we are going to have tons of peaches.

Okay the ball in the middle is the same size as the hairballs coming off Tok, the heat means no end in sight to the shedding! 

My azaleas out front under the windows.  The bush is twice the size as last fall and still growing.

We just replanted a few things in our vegetable garden so I hope to have new pictures next week.

Rebekah's cute hair day

After a day of service, Bek came home and showered.   Finally she is learning to let her hair hang to dry and the curls today were wonderful so I snapped a picture real quick before she could hide in her room again. 

Ugh.... Doctor referrals, visits and paperwork, oh my!

Nothing like a morning filled with paperwork, phone calls, trying to track down referrals, figure out all kinds of garbage with unpaid doctor bills (that should be covered 100% since we have authorizations).  If I didn't already have a headache, this morning would have given me one.  As it is, it is simply worse!  Oh joy!

Now we have to run errands, pick up the reports and discs of my neck, and Bek is seeing the family doctor about her other foot!  That child and her feet. 

Have a great week every one!

Easter party at church... the Primary children had a blast!

I have so many pictures that honestly, picking just a few will be so difficult.  But here goes. 

The gunny sac races were a great fun!

Water balloon toss was a ton of fun and since it was about 80 degrees, no one cared about getting wet.  Our friends attended with their boys and they had a blast trying to keep the balloon from breaking.  But eventually the temptation to start hitting each other with the water became too much and suddenly everyone was getting wet!

Incoming!!!!

The race is about to begin- what you can not see is all the eggs on the back lawn of the church.  The grass is cut short and hasn't grown due to lack of water so the "hunt" is kind of a joke.  More like a race. 

And the chaos is on!!  The 30 or so children began racing around the backyard picking up eggs (over 500 were donated) as quickly as possible.   Luckily all the eggs were plastic with candy or other prizes inside.  There were even a few special eggs that led to bigger prizes once back in the church.  Yummy!

Everyone had a fabulous time and the Primary Presidency did a terrific job planning everything.
