From the Beautiful Philippines

Spent another weekend in Baler. Wish is was a vacation but it is mostly work.

Montys Site

If you haven't check out Monty's new site, check it out. The link is on the right hand side under Monty Music. Talented little bugger.

It's a PUZEY thing

Otis is Great

Can Dillon just sit on a horse?

Ridge Puzey is Here

He should get enough love between these two.

Dillon, you gotta love him!

Before haircut!
He looks like our little "Nacho man".

After haircut!
Now, preparing to be a missionary!
Way to go Dillon,
you look AWESOME!
Shaney, you will have to let us know if he has the
Samson & Delilah syndrome?
Does the hair really change the man or not?
Maybe he will have a little less energy
that you will need to control.

puppys at the fair

we went to the fair last week and seen this cute puppy and it started to follow us so we brought it home!!!!

Nacho party, the night of a thousand laughs!

The Great Harvest!

We had a great time and learned a lot from our first
'REAL' garden experience at grandpa Rudy's.
The kids had fun (most of the time) going into the garden to watch it grow
& eat their favorite treats (mostly peas and raspberries).

You can see that 3/4 of the produce shown is onions. Next year we will go
a little lighter on the onions and maybe more potatoes. If any of you need onions you know
where to come. The garden experience overall was wonderful
and next year we will do more vegetables that we can put away and can (it sure
sounds good, but I might be setting myself up for failure!)

Mount Ariate

Mount Ariate is a n extinct volcano that sits right in the middle of the rice fields East of us. We have to drive around it to get to parts of our mission. The first picture is on its east side early in the day and the second is the west side just about sunset.

Last soccer game!

Oakley is elated with herself!
She kicked the ball at least a half a dozen times.
Shaney has been shouting halelujahs across the field
as she knows she won't have to sit on another
soccer field for at least another year!

They keep on comin'

Here we go again! We caught another 50 lber, Jack Black II,
(our corn must be the sweetest smelling on the block).
I think that we are known as the 'national wildlife raccoon reserve'.
I was talking with Shaney, to see if Chris was coming to take care of
the horses that night and if he just so happened to then he could
take this cute masked creature out in the country past their place and release him
into the wild. Shaney asked if we had a .22 that Chris could
use while he was here. I asked why. She explained
that Chris would not be coming out to release the animal
but to dispose of it. I wasn't to excited to explain
all that to the kids, especially since it is named after
our very own 'Nacho' actor.
I let Shaney know that we would take care of it!

The kids thought this was great!
Always something exciting at Grandpa's farm.

Another one bites the dust!

Brave Oakley
pulled out her front
tooth a couple days
ago. The tooth
fairy better get ready
'cause she has
a lot to go!
What a cutie!
