Pet Rabbit

Just four days after our dog Casper died, we found rabbit tracks all over our back yard. I knew we had a rabbit under the shed but how did it know the dog had died. Curt looked around in the back yard and this is what he found. I'm sorry for all you Easter bunny hopefuls but he died trying to go through a little hole in the chain link fence.

Brice's Birthday

Brice's birthday was Sunday, March 1. I should have written this sooner but I'm just getting around to it today. Brice is a great son, we're glad he's in our family. Brice loves to fish, hunt, and loves to ski. He is a really good worker, and always makes sure he gets things done right.
He's great about helping around the house, and he knows how to get things done. He's an awesome dad, he is good about spending his time with Cameron. He senses other people's spirits and can tell when they have a need.

Saying Goodbye to a friend...

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to Casper. I had Curt come with me because usually it's the kids and I that have to take our animals to the vet to say goodbye and Curt is at work. I knew I couldn't do this one alone. She was about 11 1/2 years old. We got her not too long after we moved to Big Piney. I guess I should list the things I like about having a dog and not the things I don't like.

1. They are good walking buddies. Casper and I walked a lot of miles together.
2. They clean the kitchen floor, and little left overs are never thrown in the trash.
3. They warn you of things going on outside. (like when the deer are walking down the alley)
4. Dogs like you even when you don't like yourself.
5. They can tell when you don't feel very well.

I guess I'll stop at five...there are a lot more.

"ME" (Jordan) came to visit...

Jordan came and stayed this week while his dad did his rotation at the hospital. He worked until he could load and shoot the gun all by himself.

He always chose pink play dough for his sisters.

He liked dropping the pick down the hole...

He's such a cute kids...I really have been having fun with him here. It's been a fun grandma time.

He's a good swimmer too.

Valentine Surprise

Cloe & Dakota made us Valentine pillows and gave them to us last weekend. One was for Grandpa and the other for Grandma. Dakota kept holding her pillow and saying "mine". It was so cute, it was hard not to just let her take it home with her.

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone. Love Ya All!!!

Bryant's blessing day...

Last weekend was Bryant's blessing. What a cute baby. This is what silly cousins do when they get together.

Part of the Winter's family...

Part of the Casey family...Trish had some really good soups and goodies. It's always really good and special when Trish fixes food for a gathering.

Darren & Brenda take their turn holding Bryant.

Skiing with Cameron

We went skiing at Loveland Pass...in Colorado...

People just take their skies off and leave them any where...
