Ann's Birthday

It was Ann's birthday on Thursday 14 Aug. The BIG five OH!!
We went to El Rancho Grande (our favorite) for dinner and Mom, Dad, Tracy, Jeremy and Carson joined us. We had fun being entertained by Carson. As you can see he's easy on the eye and as usual I took tons of pictures.

He's learning some good lessons about sitting in a spot during dinner. Tracy and Jeremy are great!! When he noticed that Jeremy was finished he said "Dada done?"

I think Tracy was glad to be there. It was fun to see them all......... We need to do this more often!
Me and Mom, self portrait. (Well Tracy helped.)

It was so funny to watch him eat lemons!!
He wasn't going to let anything get away............

24 Jul 2008 Cabin

Tyler played the organ and we played name that tune. Lots of fun. Thanks Tyler for coming to the cabin while we were there. Who says you have to have a funeral to have funeral potatoes? We had a huge pan full and you can see we made short work of it. Enough left to send some home with Tyler.


Mom spent most of the weekend at the puzzle. Got it finished and they put on another.

Grandpa snoozing after lots of hard work in the hot sun.



We had a great time and Tyler made the trip twice, after work on Friday and Saturday. Made grandma's day for him to play the organ.

Cabin 4 July 2008

We went to the cabin over the 4th. Mom and dad picked us up at 6am on the 4th and we went down in their Explorer. Ann had a glider rocker she wanted to 'donate' to the cabin so we had quite a load going down. Everything fit nicely and we made the trip in just about 2 hours.

We filled the hummingbird feeders and finally had 2 birds join us.

Mom and dad put on a 1000 piece puzzle and we spent a lot of time in the loft working on it. It's kinda fun but the lighting isn't the best. We have some things we're looking at to remedy the problem.

Flowers at the cabin July 2008

There were tons of yellow flowers at the cabin this weekend. I took lots of pictures so mom could paint them if she wanted.

Even caught a butterfly on a Thistle.

The Sego Lillies were really pretty.

We had a doe (a deer, a female deer) camping out under the porch again. Saw her quite a few times. She would wander back in the after noon and then get scared off when we would open the front door. We filled the hummingbird feeders on the porch and had only 2 birds return. I guess we've been gone too long. We filled up the solar bird bath, that's nice to listen to the water when you're on the porch. Real soothing. These pix aren't the best since I took them through the screen from inside the cabin.
