INTRODUCING........

3 Stooges. If you click on this picture I think it might open up bigger. Oh my gosh! Bronson's expression is crackin' me up. These 3 and I (les) went to my sister Lela's, in ID, to help her move from one ranch house to another. On the way home we took the back dirt roads out in the middle of nowhere at the top of the Great Salt Lake. We stopped all along the way for some really great adventures.


Clive, our newest pretty pony acquisition. Send one down the road get another. He is so cute.


3 new Borgie puppies. Izzie had 4 but one died, we were a little surprised at the sparse numbers considering she had 7 first litter and 9 the second, but we will happily take these 3 little tubbies.

James C. Christensen - Angel Unaware
Angel Unaware, James Christensen. This beauty graces our dining room wall. Our newest home decor purchase. This is what the artist had to say:

This unassuming young woman has been endowed with wings and grace with such force that even the invisible has left its shadow on stone. And she's not sure what just happened. She remains modest and humble and is probably unaware of what she has done. Her service and kindness just seemed like the right thing to do. - JCC

Our hope is that she will daily remind us to be about the Lords work.


Kaits senior council propaganda. She made it, congrats, and will interview this week for a position. Of course, she wants to be president and usually, "what Kait wants, Kait gets". In a good way. And just a side note, she asked a cute boy to "sweetheart".
You can't always get what you waaannt, but if ya try sometimes, ya get what ya neeed!

Cooper the graduate. Hard to believe. One of his shots for grad announcements. I realize this is coming from me, his mother, but I think he is so handsome. It is always so fun taking pics of him. He wanted me to make note of the cool new shoes.

One last parting shot. Love them so much. -hold them while I may......

BEFORE & AFTER

TODAY......was gorgeous and I just couldn't help but snap a couple shots. I should be..staining the fireplace, doing the laundry, making dinner, sorting the rest of the boxes in the garage that Matthew said had to be gone by Christmas (LAST, or they were all going to the DI, bless his big heart he gave me an extention), seeing who gets kicked off AMIDOL, caulking the beams on the kitchen ceiling so insulation doesn't blow through the cracks when the lion winds huff and puff, and on and on and on. What's a girl to do.? Take some shots in the soft evening sunlight.
TODAY, after ............................ this!
. YESTERDAY, before..........unbelievable!!

Here are some other before's.....and some of the reasons at our house that we
LOVE LOVE spring, except for the BEFORE above.
Izzys big belly BEFORE she has puppies next week and
Charlies bigger belly BEFORE she has a foal next month
(we hope it's a beautiful buckskin boy).



















our little red hen AFTER she lost her little piggies, and....






















THESE

little piggies
we adore.








It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain
