Great memories!

I was searching through some pictures
& came across this one. I got
a little teary-eyed. We sure miss
you guys, but wouldn't want
you to be any other place!

Jack the 'coon!

Jack was released in to the wild very
carefully and cautiously after much
trepidation by Casey, who was sure
that his arm would be chewed off!

You are what you eat?

I have never seen mom eat a Twinkie, but there has always been a fedish with the Twinkie Man. Yet she married a skinny man.........

Where's the 'coon now?

We Got Him!

Cody told us that he saw tracks in the garden!
And this is what we got, the thing is enormous,
but very, very cute.

When Ellie and I went out later in the morning we found
him all stretched out on his back fiddling with the cage,
I hope that he doesn't know what he is doing and
becomes an escaped convict!
Ellie has named him JACK
(since none of the sisters-in-law will name their baby jack, the 'coon will have to do)!

Every nights a party!

When Shaney & Chris come over to take care of horses & pasture
life is one big party for the cousins!

Casey getting sappy with the kitty, Comet!

Ashlyn loves to exercise the horses every big that she can!
Unfortunately life happens and she doesn't
make it out as often as she wants.

Home Tour

This is our new home. It isn't exactly my taste but it is nice. I am not sure why they want to build us a new one.

Home in the Philippines

The sunsets here can't be beat. Some times we will just drive over near the mountains in the evening to watch the clouds and the sunsets. A cheap date night!

Baby bellies!

Shaney says that Kelli is bigger,
Kelli says that Shaney is bigger!
(Shaney might be having twins)!

First Day of School!

We made it out the door &
to the bus on time, about 7:55 a.m.

Ellie got her pigtails done and her backpack on,
but won't be going for 2 more weeks!

The Ladybug Farm!

The kids decided to harvest ladybugs in the
round pen last night!

They were all pretty proud of themselves!

Shaney tried to save the bugs after the kids
tried to bury them alive!
So much fun!!!

Dingalon

On the road again. this time to Dingalon on the coast. A small village and we have two missionaries there. In spite of the rain it was beautiful.

Dillons Sheep Ride

They opened the chute before he was holding on. He finally let go of Chris and grabbed wool. He made it through the stumble of the sheep and made it to the middle of the arena before he face planted it. He stood up and started spitting the dirt out of his mouth, but was ready to go again.

No problem taking pictures of Sam other than he was a little to fast for the camera.

Soccer

She runs like her mother. Not sure if she is running for the ball or away...

this little piggy all gone.

This little piggys better than roast beef...

This little piggy stayed home....

This little piggy went to market...

Sunup on the Bay at Baler

A typical cabin the mountains

The Other Side of Paradise

We made a trip over the mountains to the East coast of the mission. High mountains, rough, dirt roads and lots of beautiful scenery. Rice paddies in the high valleys and coconut plantations, and fishing boats on the coast. Lots of small grass houses everywhere.
