Some good news and Voting day!

First... the good news! On Monday, Brian got the job he interviewed for last week here in town! 'Finally' is all I can say... so glad he will be leaving the current job!!!!!! Anyhow, its a good thing for us, normal hours for Brian, less stress, benefits, pension, job security... need I say more? Now if I could get in full time some where... haha


And... this one is for you Doug! Yes, we went and voted! (Proof above!)

Happy Mother's Day


I drove out to Abby for the night to surprise Mom at Julie's mother's day brunch! My cell died so I didn't get more pictures, but it was really nice to see everyone even for a quick visit! Kona had fun playing with the kids!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!!

Is it summer already?

I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden we are in the middle of summer! It's supposed to be 30 degrees out all this week. Everything is blooming in the yard which is really cool because we have only seen things at our new house in the winter!

The Lilac bush Mom planted is flowering... but this is the nicest part... Kona ate the rest of it!
Our Apple tree is all of a sudden blooming... can't wait to see if these apples are any good!
It was a really hot day today... nice to sit in the shade with all ones toys under the apple tree!
Tag had the same idea... shade is good!
Oh poor puppies...
I decided that we must buy a pool for the dogs so they have a way of cooling off in the hot week and months to come.  It was my mission to find a hard plastic pool... weirdly enough, it was pretty hard to find! But I found one, and it has a slide. I figured dual purpose, the dogs can use the pool and nieces and nephews who come to visit can enjoy it too.
It didn't take long to get them in the water... a little coaxing with tennis balls, but they got in!
Kona loved it... she is definitely a water dog.
Some much needed attention...
Brian put together the propane fire pit Mom bought us... we really enjoyed the instructions... this bag says "Put me in first". Its too bad we ran out of propane! We will have to test our new fire another night!
