This weekend we took Sammy on his first “trail hike”. The quotes are necessary because we didn’t actually make it to the trail, more on that later, but we did end up taking a nice walk down a dirt road. I always like to photograph some of the flowers we pass, just to practice shooting […]

Good-bye Fanny Pack! Hello Sammy Pack! In preparation for taking Sammy on his first hiking trail this weekend I stopped by PetSmart and picked him up his own backpack/saddle bags to carry his stuff in. I’m dubbing it The Sammy Pack. 😉 He gave us such a pitiful look when I first put it on […]

Some of my favorite conversations between my boys occur on the way to or from school. This morning Perrin was talking to Owen on the way to school. They were talking about normal things for them, including video games, when Perrin says the following: “I never blinked when I was little.” This caused me to […]

Been spending time with this fuzzy face as well as celebrating two Birthdays within two days of each other. 🙂 While I get those pictures ready to share, I thought I’d show you the face I get when I’m holding treats. Sammy is very interested in getting treats, and he lets you know it! Fortunately, […]

So happy it’s Friday! Been a long week filled with walks, Puppy Kindergarten, wreath making, fabric cutting, and headaches! Fortunately the headaches are gone for now after an afternoon rest. So tonight I think we’ll enjoy a yummy helping of strawberry shortcake after dinner! Because sometimes mile-high whipped cream makes everything better!

Been spending a lot of time in my backyard lately, so I decided to take the camera out with me during one of Sammy’s playtime sessions yesterday. Whenever I see these trees in my neighbor’s yard, I think of that line “It’s like they know.” and I think of Pro. “And they know that we […]

This is me, circa a long time ago. LOL! I’m probably 8 or 9 6 or 7 (LOL), on the backyard swing with my then white-as-snow pegasus before the dreadful day of the doggie mauling he suffered. Fortunately it wasn’t so bad that it couldn’t be fixed and my Dad sewed his wing back together. […]

I was tagged by Jami to participate in this fun photo tag! What you have to do it go to your photo library, go to the sixth folder and the sixth photo. It was fun to go thru the photos on Don’s computer, since mine is still “out sick.” There are lots of photos I’ve […]

It’s been declared official: my hard drive is fried! I lost a year of pictures and everything else on my computer. Thanks to my Dad, we’ve got 400+ pictures coming back that he was able to recover from my camera, along with pictures that my Father-in-Law copied from my computer. We should be able to […]

Been busy over here! The boys started school back up this week and I’ve unfortunately had my back go out on me two times. This last one was worse than the previous one, but I’ve been able to rest and exercise it and I’m doing much better today! I have some sewing projects I’m working […]
