That was a hard one to do Terrie....

This is what the skies in the valley have looked like for a few days now, and what they will look like most of the next week. It actually hadn't rained much today, but yesterday it poured!! I don't mind the rain though, I like it better than the snow. The good thing about Utah is, if you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes and it will change again, and again, and again. I love to curl up with a blanket and a book on the couch and read during the rain, but I don't get to do that too often.
By the way, this picture was taken with my cell phone, while riding in the truck. Not too bad huh??

Memory Lane

Okay, so here is my trip down memory lane. Sorry there are several pictures. This first one is of Sarge, on the car ride home the first day we got him. Sarge was born on Mother's day, cool huh?






Here he is pigging out on his food. He used to chase that bowl all over the kitchen.






Where's Sarge?? Can you find him?He is smack dab in the middle of the picture, hiding in the bushes in our backyard. He loves to run out in the yard








This is Sarge now. He is just about a year old, and is a BIG BOY! But he is such a little love. He is definitely a momma's boy and is protective of me too. You guys know, we bought both dogs for Deon...right?



His nickname is Bug...cause he used to eat bugs









This is Stormy the day after we brought her home. Look at that cute little smile on her face. She spent the first week on the couch with us, so we wouldn't lose her, she was so tiny. She was born on May 20th







Here she is playing on Noah's skateboard when they came out for a visit. She loved that thing. And she loves the kids!!!










This was taken on her first fishing trip with us. She has a stick laying across her legs, and she is content. If she has a stick to chew on, she is happy. I love how her one ear is standing straight up in the air.




This is Stormy and me in October. I love my baby girl!! She is now going on 2 years old and is still my baby. She gets so excited when I come home from work, and talks to me. Both her and Sarge sleep with us, but mostly on me, which is fine.
Stormy's nickname is Boo, because when she was littler, she used to go under the blankets, and I would lift the blanket up and she would jump out at me as I yelled BOO!!
I know, I am obsessed, but they are my babies, and they are very spoiled. We are going to California for a few days in May and they are going with us. I can't sleep without them. It's funny.
Well, hope you enjoyed the trip down Memory Lane......

Love and miss you all

More Color in my Yard

It amazing the things that bloom around here. Last year when we moved in, we had missed all the blooms, and blossoms and this year has been fun seeing everything bloom, so here are some more pictures of the "color" in my backyard. The purple tree on the left is a flowering plum, and the white blossoming tree is a flowering cherry, and thankfully they don't produce any fruit. The apple tree is hard enough to deal with.



This is a forsythia bush ( I think I spelled that right). It is so pretty and full of flowers.







and of course I had to throw in a picture of the tulips out back. I have a bunch more in the front yard, and I love them. I think the lady that used to own this house planted every color of tulip that there is, but I don't mind.
I do have a lot of work to do on the yard, but it will be nice when we are all done. But it will take years to get it how we want it. We have 4 overgrown pine trees, that I want to get rid of, so I can do a water feature and plant more flowering, non-fruit producing trees.
It's been in the upper 7os around here the last few days, so I hope you all are enjoying some very very nice weather too.

Easter 2009

We had Deon's family over on Easter and had a good time visiting. We had the normal...ham, mac salad, rolls, potatoes,etc. Let me tell you...Deon can cook a mean ham....yummy!!
After dinner we went outside to enjoy some sunshine and let me play with the camera again. We didn't get pictures of everyone, because they either had to leave early or were coming later cause they were at other family dinners. In the first picture are (from left to right) Justin, Lindsay, Jolene, Demont, Debbie, Deon and Grandma.



This is Deon and his Dad and Grandma









This is his nephew Justin and his girlfriend Lindsay.

I hope you all had a great Easter. I wish we would have been able to celebrate with you all.
