A day at the ranch

The kids and I went to galloping graces horse ranch this morning. They got to scoop some poop in exchange for a free horse riding lesson. They all loved it and Betsy in particular was in heaven.

Happy Father's Day

Ken got to open presents early for father's day. We will be in UT for the special day, and I didn't want to have to pack a bunch of presents...so he'll get breakfast in bed next Sunday and have memories of opening gifts at home. Happy Father's Day we love you!

BEFORE AFTER

Sorry no more vampire hair for my taste. I get mean with the scissors.

Thanks for your prayers

Jared was in the hospital for 2 nights with pneumonia. Ken was able to take 2 days of sick leave so we could take turns staying with Jared. He is home and recovering. We appreciate all the kind thoughts and prayers for him.

R.I.P. Squeak

We are laying our dear departed pet hamster to rest in the back yard. When we had company over Saturday night we discovered our fiesty rodent was not moving. It was a very emotional night for Betsy, but a little funeral and the promise of a new one was consoling (mostly). This was our first attempt at a "real " pet and she only stayed with us for 5 months. Hopefully we'll have better luck with the next one.
