Richard comes home today only 6 hours and 17 minutes before they scuttle his tush off the plan. We all can't wait.

Madison takes Hight Point

Madison met her first horse when she was only a year and a half. It was love at first sight, petting Pretty Boy for the first time. Ever since she has been horse crazy. I as many of you know am not an animal person and have hoped many times that this would pass. It hasn't and she is working hard at taking care of the horses and other animals living at our friends, the Corbridges, Ranch. Madison has talent because she works hard and is persistant she continues to shine at the shows she attends. This weekend was hot, very hot, tiring and tear jerking, but she never gave up and I am proud of her for her hard work. She chose to compete in many areas but also chose two that were difficult for her, bareback and english. It paid off and she won 3 first places and took the crown of the show as jr. walk and trot High point. She won a beautiful saddle bag. Now she just has to earn money for the saddle. (and the horse :-) )

Trip to Seattle

We spent the day playing in the fountain, It is so cool to listen and watch the

water as it spurts and spits according to the classical music piped around the
dome.

after that we headed to the Diego live(and Dora too) play. We were very happy the girls

had a nap before we left the house. It was super duper Fun.

We missed the plane but had fun

coolest thing. could suck your face right off

Aunt Christie and Aud swinging in front of the oct.

Miss you

The beach again in honor of Greg. Spent the day playing on the beach, body surfing, searching for sand crabs and bits of shells. We had Juanitas Greg's favorite was a bean and beef burrito for dinner. It was in front of this restraunt, actually shack that I took the last healthy picture of Greg.

I have searched my pictures looking for pictures and have apparently moved them off the laptop and didn't remember, this was very aggravating and sad for me. Thanks to Jessica for putting one up. Nicholas discovered the "sneak away" with his cousin Brandon and Uncle Robin. It always takes the women of this household hours to get ready for the planned activity so a long time ago Robin and Greg started the sneak away, they would go do something for a couple hours and be back in time for the planned activity, without anyone knowing they were gone cuz the chicks were still getting ready and late. So the boy learned "the sneak away" to prevent anger against said women. He went to ice cream and played lazer tag. After Uncle Robin explained to Nicholas the plan and how he started letting Brandon come along when was old enough, and now that Nicholas was old enough he was deemed worthy to sneak along with the guys. Nicholas exclaimed,"When my son is old enough I can pass this along to him". Uncle Robin thought it was pretty cool that he got the whole point. That his daddy was passing it along even though he wasnt here to show it. Nicholas hasn't hit Audrey since, he just says he needs a "sneak away".

Before

After, Audrey and I were soaked Socks pants

shirts underwear and all. We had to find Aud

a new outfit I think what she liked the most was

not having to put her underwear back on. I just

couldn't make her put the drippy things back on.

I will put up more later. they are in Pat's camera.

I think one of the coolest things was feeding the

sting rays, aud and Nicholas even petted them.

they are a cross between angel looking and horror

story creature.
