From Here & There

I have a few pics from here and there, and what's been going on. :)
Our little pumpkin! :)

He is growing up so fast! He is already rolling from his back to his belly, to his belly to his back. He also scoots himself around, before we know it he is going to be crawling!! 

He is so adorable and loves talking to you and giving lots of smiles. He is such a happy boy!
I have been looking for a German Shepherd puppy for quite a while now and I finally got one!  I am so excited, cause he is so smart and learns very fast. He is 6 wks old now and is a very big pup. 
Isn't he cute? :)


Nature study with the boys.

The daffodils are out! :)

The boys got there large coloring books from Cub Corner and they are pretty excited about them!

Is that snow?! Believe it or not we did get snow. Two days before it snowed the temperature was up in the 90's. What happened to our warm weather is what I would like to know. It snowed off and on all day, but it all melted as soon as it stopped snowing. :) Today is clear again, so hopefully the warm weather will decide to come back!!

Snow ice cream is always a treat, so as soon as it would stop snowing the boys would run out side and collect as much snow as they could before it all melted away. :)

Happy birthday to Lois and Meda Hyde!!  Rachel (their sister) threw together a surprise party down on the ranch by the pond for them. It was cold, but we had a lot of fun eating, visiting and singing camp songs around the bonfire. :)

Meda and her niece Naomi.



It was a bit windy, so neither of them got to make a wish. :( 

Trying to get them lit, but had no luck.


A blimp... you don't get to see them very often. :)

Have a great week!
