Summer Cuts

Remember these lovely pups from the Farm?  Lots of fur to scratch!



One is named Snowball


And the other is Frosty

I can't tell the difference but Jakes can.  It doesn't matter.  They are still loveable no matter what you call them.  I imagine with all the fur, they get hot when as soon as it gets warm.  So Ms. Jill takes them for their summer cuts and this is what comes out.

Lookit how Skinny they look without their FUR!

Sweet Face!

Are you ready for a Picnic?


Picnics are romantic and fun, right?  Once you have the right equipment, like a basket to carry everything thing in, a bottle of wine and the right person to share it with.

Thanks to Daddy and ESM, I'm all set for a lovely picnic!


The beautiful basket



Everything you need, expect the
wine and the guy!



Now to round up the bottle and the guy!





I might share pictures of the picnic too.  :)

Tuesday Tidbits

I missed all last week.  Where did it go?  So much happening!


AZ has finally made appointments with pain drs, dentist and the eye dr.  He says he's tired of being sick, feeling sick and sitting on the couch.  FINALLY!  He's been awake and participating in life around the house.  I'm happy but afraid to trust that it will stay this way.  Only time will tell.  In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy it.


Choir is done until the fall.  We had a wonderful spring concert and then sang for the local college graduation.  The place was PACKED and the ceremony was so boring.  I was able to read while they were calling the names.  Even our conductor was checking out a magazine.



Work is boring, as usual.  This is the slow time of the year for grant writing and contract making.  I'm working on researching foundations.  Boring work.  I want something challenging. 



Jakes is getting ready for 8th grade graduation.  He's excited for the end of the school year, but then what student or teacher isn't?  Now comes the fighting over the tickets for the ceremony with his father.  I hope he doesn't act like an ass for Jakes sake.



I'm getting a new camera.  A friend is letting me borrow it. I think he hopes that I will want to buy it from him.  He's probably right!  But its a VERY nice one with changeable lenses and filters and all that good stuff.  I hope he's going to include lessons with it.  But you will get to benefit from awesome pictures!  Stay tuned!

Monkey Carnage

Jaxon LOVES stuffed animals that have long arms and legs.  He loves being able to shake his head all around and beat himself up with the arms and legs.  ESM goes to yard sales and picks up monkeys on the cheap and the two dogs share them. 

I've posted before about the tug of wars the pups have with each other.  The tug of wars tend to destroy the monkeys.

Here is the monkey carnage from Mother's Day Weekend.  ESM brought fresh monkeys.




Jaxon goes for the face.



Judging from the carnage, the Pups had a great weekend!

The Camping Trip

We went. We set up.  We enjoyed the camping life between the rain storms.


Jaxon was eager to get started.
He and Oscar fought for window space on the ride to the camp ground

Getting set up.  Almost done.
Oscar relaxing by the fire
Its been a long day.
Just let me sleep.
It was all over before we knew it.  So we packed up to come home.  Going to make reservations for the fourth of July weekend.
