Wacky Summer Weather

Summer.... where are you???? We have had a really strange spring/early summer this year. Lots of rain, wind and just cold cold weather! Today we had some thunderstorms and just downpours.. ugh... we really would love some hot hot summer!!!

Crazy Kitty

It amazes me how patient this cat is! Gotta love Lyger!

The new boat

We got a new-to-us boat this spring. Today was nice enough in the late afternoon to take it for a quick cruise on the Columbia River. The kids like it - except it has not been warm enough to go around without a sweat shirt!

Lion travel to Lake Chelan

Miss O had to take her favorite, Lion, with us to Lake Chelan!

Family Drive to Coleman Canyon

Fishing trip

Had a great Father's day fishing at the Kids Pond!

Piggie Weigh In

All three pigs got to go in for the official first weigh in and get some fancy tags - aka bling! The piggies weighed: Twister 89 lbs Speedy 83 lbs Cookie 85 lbs Looks like we are going to need to push these piggies with lots of food this year to make weight by fair!!

Goat preshow

This morning was the first Goat Preshow that the boys have had to attend. Since this was all new to them - it was more of just a go with the flow! The goats were a little freaked out at loading into the horsetrailer and then going to the fairgrounds so very early in the AM. All the goats got weighed and got some new ear bling (tags). Mrs. Hall weighed 30 pounds, Ocho weighed 38, and Lady Baba came in at a big ol 51 pounds! Our little goats were the smallest goats at the show. But, that is ok, since we are not planning on eating them after the Fair. The boys worked together to get their feet trimmed and clipped before they had to take them in the show ring. Since they could only show one goat each... poor mrs. Hall had to sit it out! She got the hang out with me outside the show ring in the audience - which I think that she really enjoyed! Both boys earned blue ribbons and learned quite a bit!

The view from our driveway

No words - only beauty!
