Learn something new every day...

I just figured out that I can post a comment on my own blog! So if any of you have asked a question in any of your comments and I haven't answered them, I'm sorry! :) Now that I know I can answer them, I'll try to be better about it. Thank you ALL for your sweet comments. They make me feel loved!

Just so this post won't go without a picture, here's one of our "Lesie-Pooh". Elise is staying with us until she goes to college in the Fall. We love her dearly and she's GREAT to have around!
When we got home last weekend, she had the house spic-n-span, hot apple pie and no-bake cookies waiting for us! I told her maybe we should go away more often. :) She is a very sweet girl and we will miss her when she goes to college, but we're very proud of her!

Our Week...

We have been gone all week! We had a great time, but it's wonderful to be home again. Keith and 5 other men built a house for some friends of ours. My parents also went and the kids had a blast with Grandma. Our friends own 70+ acres and it was just beautiful there. Here's some pictures of our week.


There were trails all through the woods. Perfect for Hide and Seek!
Owen had a grand time with the mud puddles.
Megan had a great time with all the attention she received.
Doesn't he look like he's just having the time of his life??
The guys hard at work.

This was on Monday
This was on Friday! Can you believe it???
Kristyn had a great time in the woods
There was hardly ever a time without a stick in Owen's hands.
We also got to meet this guy in the woods. This is for you, Mom! :)

On A Brighter Note....

I took some pictures of Megan today (way too many, as usual) so I thought I'd share a few.






















































This one's for Daddy and Uncle Kyle! :)



















I have a feeling something's going to pop!



















































Wow! If I tried that, I'd end up in the hospital, I'm afraid. :)

Good Byes are never easy...

Kristyn and Sunni having a "tea party."











We had to make the very hard decision to put our precious Sunni to "sleep" today. She had been sick for a few days and was getting weaker and was suffering. She was not responding to the IV antibiotics she was getting for her infection and the vet said even if she had surgery she only had a 50/50 chance.




We will miss her terribly!!!









Saying our good byes....
