Lonnie's Birthday at Glamis...

This year we sold our old Sand car and bought a different one. Since Lonnie has been extra special this year he got an early birthday present. Our first trip to the dunes this season just happen to fall on his birthday again!!! Happy Birthday to my man and father of my children. You deserve the world in my eyes.

Karli's 16th Birthday!!!!

LOOK WHO IS 16!!

Karli turned "Sweet 16"
and we decided to surprise her with
her dear friend coming from Holbrook.

So we decided that we would take her
to Walmart for the surprise. Her friends
came into town and went there. We went
up there and she was only focused on getting
the stuff we needed and I kept wandering
through the clothing where I knew her friends
were hiding. Finally Kassi and I got
her to come and look at something
all of sudden she seen her friends and
the look of SURPRISE came over
her face.
Needless to say she had to look twice!

Karli, Julie and Emma best friends!
Karli when she realized it was them!!

Awhhhh!! Mom, Kassi and Dad
what a surprise!


Karli had made plans with some of her
friends to go to a movie and come
over to the house for home
made wings and games.

Well the movie had a small change
due to Karli getting her first
Red-Light ticket(on her birthday)

The kids all came over and we
had yummy wings and played games.

Kristopher and Ravin

A boy and his dog...


Kristopher one night started to tease
Ravin with her toys. Well the next
thing I seen was this....

Kristopher with the dog toy in his mouth
and Ravin trying to take it from him.

Ravin just staring at Kristopher with the
toy in his mouth.

Nothing like a boy and his dog sharing the toy!

I don't know who enjoyed playing with
the toy more Kristopher or Ravin...
My guess they way they were playing it
was Kristopher that had fun.
It is a good thing that Kristopher loves
animals and is going to become a Veterinarian!

Spending the weekend in Globe!

Well I know I have been a slacker and have a lot of blogging to catch up!

In August we went to Globe for our nieces mission farewell...
Not all the family was able to make it but those who did
we had a great time.

We all met for dinner at one of the great Mexican Food restaurants in Globe!
