The Flying Puppy

Cutter may have had a late start but he is more than making up for it now!!!  He has "Flippy" fun on the golf course!  He clears 4 feet on average when he jumps - that would be a measurement from the ground to the bottom of his feet!!!

Coach and athlete discussing strategy.

Kung Fo Tournament

Drew had his first tournament and had to compete in the two levels above him and placed 4th !!!!

Swimming in the Ocean

Cutter loves the water and swims for his ball - he is a little slow (no webbing in his feet!).  He does get a bit frustrated with the sand/ball situation as you can hear on the video.  Sand was flying everywhere!

Back to San Diego America's Finest City

We are leaving tomorrow morning for a couple of weeks in San Diego.  It will be another new adventure for Cutter to be on the boat...  We will be going to a BB King concert on Monday night!!!  I can hardly wait!  Seeing him in concert has always been one of my wishes. 

Eli Loves Camping

July 4th at Taylor Fork

Some photos of the family before it rained!

We enjoyed 80 degrees until 5pm and then it rained.  The guys still managed to do a great BBQ and we all over enjoyed. Back to Big Sky to enjoy fireworks from our lot and dessert - thanks for the root beer floats CJ & Lynne!

Taylorfork Fun

These pictures really don't need a narrative...

Snow still...

Summer has taken a detour from here so far this year!  Snow on the mountain this week and cold rainy for the rest of the area.  Kinda feels like Seattle - YUCK!! 

Cutter is trying my training skills every hour.  It is a dang good thing puppies are cute or they would never make it to dog!  It is harder being so confined to the house because of the weather.

Meet Cutter

Cutter is a 6 month old Border Collie.  We brought him home June 1st and he has already won our hearts.  His life has been very sheltered and so a huge amount of new things were introduced into his little world yesterday.  Cutter had to go to the store and meet "Aunt Lynne" and learn about taking treats from your hand.  His name was Banjo but he would not respond to it.  Last night Craig came up with a bunch of nautical names and we tried Cutter and now  he comes when we call his new name- less than 12 hours later! 

Not Sure Why ...

We arrived home in pouring rain on Tuesday and I am not sure why we came home.  It has snowed and the wind has blown and I am freezing!  I got a very short window to work outside in a flower bed yesterday for about an hour.  I did put out the bird feeders and have decided the following:

Magpies are killers - Chickadees are fearless - Finches are timid- Robins are tough. 
Final note - I WANT TO GO BACK TO SAN DIEGO!!!!!

We Just Left

After being home and having it snow all but 2 days out of 11 and there is still over 2 feet of snow in our yard - we left!  We loaded the car and drove back to San Diego!!!!  We are staying on the boat and enjoying sunshine, flowers, trees, boats, water, friends and every good thing San Diego has to offer!!!

Happy Easter

Amber, Dayn and Drew Easter Day 2011. 

Truth in Advertising

I don't know where this is - I found it on one of my facebook friend's wall and couldn't agree more with "Ed"!!!

Bike Miles

As of this morning Craig has logged 1,405 miles on his bike! 

Another Day at the Ball Park

We went to another Padres vs Dodgers game and the Padres finally won!  Craig got a foul ball today.  It was a line drive foul it smashed into the empty seat right next to him! 

Samantha and Mike

Samantha and Mike enjoying the 4th of July fun at our home 2010.  Going to have to get a new picture of these two.  Samantha was hired yesterday by real estate company as a office manager.

Amber Dayn and Drew

Dayn is the diagnostic team foreman now in the BMW Austin TX dealership!
Amber is in school and will graduate in December as an OR Technician.
Drew is just a wonderful 4 year old who keeps mommy busy!

Hail in San Diego!

Nope that isn't a typo.  We went to the Padres vs Dodgers game last night and we were rained out in the second inning!  Walking back to the parking garage we go over the new bridge (21 million dollar bridge!) it was seriously raining and hail!!  Another man walking with us didn't know what those little white balls on the bridge were!!!!!!  The game resumed about 9pm (we watched from the comfort of the sofa) and was promptly rained out again.  We will get to see the rest of that game and the regularly scheduled one for tonight but, forecast is - rain...

Awesome Drew

Third stripe on his belt in one week!  He loves his Kung Fu classes and obviously is doing really well! 

Hello, my name is

and I am a coffee-holic, caffeine addict!!  Had to have a cup before I went for my walk this afternoon and 1 mile out guess what else wanted out!  Good grief.  My girls call it "crack in a cup".  Yup, sure is.  I love it and those who have had the pleasure of my company first thing in the morning can attest to my being totally unable to even communicate without it.  Craig still asks me questions right away in the morning knowing full well I can not form letters let alone a coherent sentence before the first cup!!  All that said...  I love Starbucks!
