Nothin' But Air........

Faja's favorite thing to do.....play frisbee. Jeff captured these "air" shots of her at Rocky Creek State Park.

The crops are coming along nicely. The front is onions and garlic...and the tiny row on the right is carrots.....

















The tallest shoot is broccoli. When it grown bigger, I will take a close-up.
The cabbage rows are in a backwards "L"......Clear as mud?????

Kurt's Projects................

Kurt made the recycling center from leftover "stuff" he had just laying around.

















The same for the kindling holder. We roast s'mores in the summertime when the kids are here.

Kylie's Big Day......

A job well done.......CONGRATULATIONS to our Kylie. Moving on from juvenile middle school to Prime Time High School. Our girl did it!!!!

A prouder pair of parents couldn't be happier, gray hair and all.













Stacie doesn't even look old enough to have a daughter going into high school!














These girls sure know how to pose!

Say "cheese", please

Big day here, and the first day she didn't mind having her picture taken.










An official paper in hand, and they still made them go to school for two days! Whats up with that?????

Can you say "Angel"

So comfy on Grandpa's lap...

Something about a child sleeping that brings huge smiles to our faces.

But, she did indeed get a second wind.

Can you say "Angel"

She Smiles

Mackenzie had stuck her finger with a rose thorn....Ouch.....Levi got the job of the official flower holder while mom was in charge of media.

Faja and Fifi.......

Finally a little socialization for Faja. Janae and TJ stopped by to show us her new car, and the dogs got along great.














A day with sunshine. This has been unusual this spring.

Farmers Market - 08

This is the new location of the Farmers Market. We stopped by on Saturday and there was tons of room for my little booth.















We were frustrated, but haven't stopped trying......

Yummo.......

Grandpa is reading the paper, and Kenzie is reading the back of the cereal box. How cute are they??????? The Shield kids devour a box of chocolate cereal a day while at Grammy and Grandpa's house.

A beautiful day.........

Nobody around at our private beach.


















The day was perfect. Levi and grandpa found many treasures.
McKenzie and dad were burying a rock, and Kylie made an enormous sand sculpture.

Memorial Day at the Beach

As usual, we all had a great time at Faja's beach.















Aren't they soooooo cute together? A match made in heaven, thats for sure.

Eddie Eagle

Jeff and Janice Mittelman came to visit us this week. We had a wonderful time.

Jeff had an incredible camera and took some great pictures of our visitor.

Can I just tell you that this eagle was amazing. Its a young bald eagle. We learned that their heads do not get white until they are three years old.

Isn't he majestic looking! While we
ran inside to get the "bird book" he flew away...
