Happy Birthday Dustin

Annabelle

Annabelle came to us at about 10 weeks old. They just didn't come any cuter.
Melissa and her had a special bond.

Obviously she was very patient with us, even when we tried to make her into a reindeer.

 

She loved the children and they loved her. She was always so patient with them, but really loved to play soccer and keep away with her tennis ball.

She was so patient when other dogs came to visit or stay.

As each of the Grandchildren came along they learned to love her like the rest of us did and they knew they could trust her as big as she was in their little eyes. Her photos with Avery and with Davis were probably the last ones taken.



She will always have a special place in our hearts.

Happy Birthday Melissa!

 

Big Step

We've been talking about getting something to go camping in for the past month or so.  Mostly so we could go up in the mountains and have someplace to sleep at night and be ready for beautiful photos as the sun went down or in the morning.  We looked at a couple small motor homes and frankly they didn't get us very excited.  Then we went and looked at this super light 5th wheel.  It has to be super light to work with my Dodge Dakota.  So today I got the cart before the horse and went and bought a used 5th wheel hitch and then called the guy who was selling this 5th wheel and told him I'd bring a deposit.  Actually Jeanne took the deposit out to him while I was at work.  Melissa said we could park it at her house so here you go.  Photos of our new mini 5th wheel.  We'll see where it goes from here.  These are most of the photos that the seller posted on KSL.com classifieds.  I did not take them.

Welcome Visitors

Kathryn, Trevor and Davis came by for a couple days as Trevor was out this way on job interviews. It's hard to believe it's only about 9 months before he is out of residency. It was sure great to see them and have them stay and visit for a little while at least. We are hoping and praying that they get close.

As all of the grandchildren have done, Davis had to get acquainted with Annabelle. They hit it off in a hurry.

Attention-THIS IS A NEW POST

In my efforts to save those old posts I may have made a big mistake.  I may have caused you to ignore the posts because they were coming too fast and furious.  If so I apologize.  I'm pretty sure I've done my final "repost" from The World's Best Blog.  But, I want you to know, as I wrote in one of the first "reposts" -  these are my important communications to you.  These are addressed to anyone who cares to read but primarily my children and grandchildren.  I wish I had information like this from my father and mother.  Yes they taught me a lot, but sometimes it would really be nice to be able to go back and see what they thought about certain things.  Well, you have that in the form of these posts. 

Love,
Dad, Grandpa

Happy Birthday Kathryn!!!
