Bunny

Emma
So, Megan's getting older now and one of her jobs is to let the dogs out after she gets home from school. Last week, Megan lets the dogs out while I'm in the bathroom....things are going fine and I hear Emma barking. It's her scolding bark that she uses to keep the other dogs away from something she wants... In my mind I'm thinking they're fighting over a stick. All the sudden Megan comes running in the house yelling, "Emma's eating a bunny!" WTF, I'm trying to get myself out of the bathroom as fast as I can. I'm thinking I may still be able to save this bunny, she probably is just playing with it. Not like play playing but mouthing it and stuff...you know. I get to the bedroom window and yell at her....Emma, NO...Get in the Pen! This usually works, she's a good listener. I run downstairs and out the back door, she's still standing over the bunny. I keep telling her no and she's not listening. I finally get up to her and I realize there's no saving the bunny. The front half was completely gone, from the head to behind the shoulders was missing....it still had it's cute little white tail.
I get Emma in the pen and I go find Megan so we can talk about this, I just knew she had to be somewhere crying. I found her in the living room watching cartoons, she's fine...no tears. I asked her if she was ok and she said she was fine...her attitude was: Emma ate a bunny, that's it, no big deal.
It's so strange what upsets her, if Link dies in her video game she cries..if our German Shepard rips a wild bunny in half and eats it in front of her...no big deal.

Old Time Photo

Mom had this photo taken of us when we were at the Puyallup fair this year. Papa felt sorry that I didn't have any good pictures of me posted so, he sent me this.

Opening Day 2008 Scavanger Hunt

Andee planned a scavanger hunt for the kids this year. It was so fun! She drew up the map, placed all the plastic insects and bought prizes for them...it was so cool. Everyone had a great time.



Ben found an antler that a deer had shed (sorry I didn't get a picture of it). He also found a pair of sunglasses and a broken lawn chair....he didn't keep those but he did wear the sunglasses for about an hour.

Opening Day 2008 pictures of me


In my family I'm the picture taker....which means there are hardly any pictures of me. So, I tell Eric please make sure to get some pictures of me this trip. These are the wonderful pictures my husband took, aren't they flattering? Look at the care that he took to make sure the lighting was perfect. The second picture is my favorite...it was taken through the window of the motorhome. I should give him a break because he was high on smores at the time (which were chased down with several beers) but still....I think he could have done a little better : )


Opening Day 2008 - Smores

Maddie, Ryan and Megan. We gave Maddie and Ryan their Disneyland souvenirs.
Yummy!
Roasting to perfection takes patience.
Maddie, you got something on your face.
Megan you got something in your hair.
