Cleaning out my closet and found Jerry

Well you can see the portrait I found of Jerry! (LOL)

So I took the photo out to him and said "Jerry found A picture of you in the closet"

Heidi got a Kick out of me teasing her grandfather like that.

His nick name is jerry for geriatrics

Erica's up to the same old stuff!

Well We all Know Erica has had a thing with climbing stuff!
not at all afraid of heights (not inherited from her father)
When she was A toddler it was the book case, then the barn roof(with a kite so she could handglide)
Now she's sending me pictures of herself climbing trees in Italy and sitting on top of statues, I guess things don't change that much (LOL)

Wow! What we learn in school

Well Heidi was telling me
"wow mom look there's the moon"
on her way out to the bus stop
"my teacher says the moons going down as the suns coming up"
needles to say at ten o'clock the other night she had to run outside to observe the moon (LOL)
that's obviously what they are studding this weak!

so I thought lets take a pic and post this I have been bad lately

First day of School

as you can see I have more pictures of the
back of Heidi's head this is the bus stop!

Had to play with the picture

With her age it's hard to get a picture
of Heidi, so I pulled this out of the group photo!
She's 11 now and about 5"3
women size 9 shoe, and still growing
She just started 6th grade. Next year
She will be in Junior high!
Boy I am feeling old!
Being one of the younger kid's in her grade
She's either taller or equal in height than most
of the kids turning twelve.

The Races

Went to the Horse races with Richards, family took the tour
and here is the Group picture we took in the winners circle!

My Piggy Bank after I bought gas yesterday!

I received this in an e-mail from a friend could not pass posting it !
It is I am sure how we all are feeling lately!
thank You M. For sending it!

Test drive!

okay we got a small 12 foot aluminum boat off creigs list! And a motor from a brother in law. So we took it to the lake! Went fishing of coarse. Only took two pictures here's one of of two!

Perfect Picture of Richard

Okay It's not real him its a Bobble head I picked up for him For .99 Yes that's all he's Worth!
Oh No! I meant It Was all the Bobble Heads Worth! (LOL)

I am really curious to see if anyone posts any comments!
I am sure I am dead meat once he reads this one!

Blond to Red

Well instead of the ugly blond grown out hair on Heidi.We are working on putting her natural hair color Back and adding red streaks! we attempted today but I am still a shade off on her natural hair color but it did tone it down some! the red streaks are bright. That's probably why they call it (wild red)

(Will post a picture as soon as I can sneak one)




This is the bottle for now !!!!! I am sure you have all sorts of scary pic's running through your head(LOL)






Wow I DID Say Sneak!



/

along with the bass are the Blue Gill

Well another small fish Caught yesterday was A Blue Gill. well Richard caught and released two along with two or three Small Small mouthed bass bigger than Heidi's but not by much! but for those of you who don't fish this is a Blue Gill!

Jaws, Well not quite! But it was exciting for Heidi!

Our fishing at the lake, another day, another fish!

Well Heidi was really excited usually she gets Board and wants to stop fishing here is her first Small Mouth Bass. Isn't it huge, it might fill the sardine can. But she had to be excited because she wasn't running from the camera.

Kayleah is excited but wants to have her own fish caught! One of these days her luck will come in that's a partial worm on a small hook you can see in his little mouth. the worm looks bigger than his mouth!

Fishing At Lake Macintosh with the Girls!

Its Fun watching Kayleah Fish!
See how her leg goes up when
she's reeling in... Major concentration.

Kayleah is Bob And Ranae's Daughter She loves the camera!

In these pictures I was trying to use the sun to get a silhouette type picture I don't think I did too bad of a job!



Richard and Heidi ,are fishing in this picture! Richard released About five small Bass!The rest of us had no luck in case you were wondering!
Kayleah is on her Bike on the walking trail! The trail is a major walking trail, down in Thurston county you can walk from Yelm to Olympia! It is the old railroad tracks they have pulled out gravled and have been paving! It follows the east side of the lake!Two years ago this part of the trail was not paved!The trail was there though .

Dragon Fly's Are ugly up close Like humming birds when there not flying!

correct me if I am wrong but they are sure bright!
this Bright Orange one was taking a long break!But I have been noticing a lot of Brite Green ones hanging around,I have always seen the Turquoise Blue around ,but until recently have not noticed all the other colors!

Croaky & Rocky Can you tell which is which?

Croaky has bigger spots, and is bigger in general.

They are Fire Bellied Toads

They love Cricket's
It is fun to watch them stock them, but There's no large tounge, for that matter they have no teeth either, Its like watching snakes they strike and swallow

Well have you heard of smoked fish before?

Of Coarse this was Richards Idea Heidi Took the picture Because, Richard hasn't figured out the digital camera Yet!

Following my cousins foot steps!

I think this would be fun, so in following my cousins footsteps I thought I would start my own blog!

Croaky's saying "hi" see him waving(LOL)

I guess I will start with Heidi's newest pet! Well one of them (LOL) this is Croaky, but now she has two, She bought all the stuff for her pets ( including the Toad's ) with her B-day money!
