| My boys and man hard at work on the unending deck project... |
 |
| It's worth repeating...I am sooo very thankful for them!! |
 |
| Well, lookie here...I chalkboard painted my wheelbarrow! There is always time for a little project in the midst of a large one, right? Dalton: "Hey, Mom...did you know that you misspelled flowers?" ;) |
 |
| Thumbs up for progress!! |
 |
| Here it is in all it's glory...the 90% finished deck. We still have to sand it, seal it and skirt it...soon! |
 |
| LOVE IT.LOVE IT.LOVE IT!! |
 |
| It's official...we now have two college aged children...eeks! Here is Dalton on his very first day of College...this picture was as good as it was going to get. The older they get, the harder it is to capture those milestones...boohoo! |
 |
| "See ya, Mom." School has been in session for two weeks now and going great. Dalton loves his classes (thank you Jesus!) and is enjoying being a college student. Last week Dillon started his Algebra class as well. With the boys out of the house by 7 and Derek off to work by 7:30, I found myself at home alone. It was nice! :) It's been a long time...since Dillon was in 7th grade and we started homeschooling! I am taking advantage of this time since come Fall, it will be a very different story! |

| In order to "bulk up" Ruger to be a better show contender, we are supplementing his diet with raw meat! It's a new concept for us but after 10 days we are already seeing him fill out. Side note: At his last show, Jeannie (our breeder) said that he was too thin, that you should not be able to feel his backbone. It was obvious that Ruger had lost weight and I know why. We live on 2.5 acres and he LOVES to run around with the other dogs and since we have been working so much outside, his exercise had increased dramatically! Derek and I (and Jeannie) came up with a plan to help him gain bulk while still maintaining his exercise level. I am happy that it is working. We will see how he compares with the others in the next show in July at Ventura! |
 |
| Ruger waiting for his command...EAT! |
 |
| Ruger's 1st raw meal...he loved every bite!! |
 |
| Meet Elizabeth. She is my very special college friend. We became partners in our "teaching PE" class and became instant friends. We share the same birthday month, only a week apart, however, the years are 20 apart! :) We share the love for teaching and have enjoyed this journey together. Last weekend she married her high school buddy, Daniel. It was a lovely wedding held in Simi Valley at the most beautiful venue. I was honored to be there to share in her special day, one that she had waited a long time for! |
 |
| Daniel and Elizabeth... |
 |
| The teacher friends...Debi, Elizabeth, Jessica, and Me. We had a great time! Isn't Elizabeth's dress beautiful? It really was one of the prettiest dresses I have ever seen!! Well, that's it for now. Upcoming... Dalton's Graduation Open House and annual Birthday Party for Dillon and my Mom! Let the good times roll!! :) |
