OUR LAST TRIP TO GRAND LAKE THIS SEASON - HOW'S THAT FOR AN UPDATE!

MIRIAM IS JUST GROWING UP TOO FAST FOR ME. SHE IS LIKE A GROWN UP GIRL NOW.
MIRIAM IN MIDDLE OF RIVER, THEY SPENT MOST OF THEIR TIME IN THE LOW FLOWING RIVER THIS TRIP. IT WAS CLOSING THE CABIN TRIP AND EVERYONE WAS SAD BECAUSE IT WAS OUR LAST TIME THERE THIS SEASON.
LIVIA AND JOSHUA, THEY HAD FUN HELPING HIM AROUND THE ROCKS IN THE RIVER. HE WAS ACTUALLY JUMPING FROM ROCK TO ROCK, IT ACTUALLY MADE ME NERVOUS AND FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME, IT TAKES A LOT TO MAKE ME NERVOUS.
SHE IS A NATURAL WITH THE CAMERA! KNOWS JUST HOW TO POSE EVERY TIME.
THERE IS THAT MODEL AGAIN.

LOOK AT THAT SMILE
JOSH'S ONLY TIME ON THE BOAT THIS TIME. HE DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND. THAT IS HIS FRIEND MONKEY ON HIS BACK, HE LOVES HIM
HYDE AND JACOB FLY FISHING THE STREAM BEFORE PACKING UP THE RODS AND TACKLE BOXES.
OOPS, THE FLY GOT CAUGHT IN THE TREE, BUT LUCKILY HE SAVED IT. NOT MUCH SPACE IN THIS SPOT FOR FLY FISHING. THAT MORNING THE CLOUDS WERE OUT ON THE LAKE AND YOU COULDN'T SEE MORE THAN 5 FT AHEAD OF YOU. IT WAS FALL WEATHER AND THE PRETTIEST IVE SEEN IT. GOSH IF ONLY I GOT A PHOTO OF THAT! BREATHTAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one is a little long, Jhyde filmed it, but there is something awesome about watching these majestic animals so upclose! This is what we will be hunting in October. I can't WAIT!!!

A TRIBUTE TO JOEY AND HIS POOR FINGER!

You just look so darned cute in this picture that I had to add it. For all you Joey lovers.

HERE IS A PICTURE THAT DOESN'T DO IT JUSTICE AT ALL. YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE BONE IN THIS PICTURE! HAD TO GET A BLOOD PICTURE.
THE FIRST MOMENTS AT THE DOCTORS OFFICE. MISTER DUCKIE SURE MADE IT BETTER.
JOEY IS WANTING TO DO MORE STUFF WITH J-HYDE NOW. HE LOVES GOING ON THE BOAT WITH DADDY. ESPECIALLY GOING TO GRAND LAKE WITH HIS FAMILY. WE ARE SO SO LUCKY AND BLESSED TO HAVE THE CABIN TO GO UP EACH SUMMER. WE ADORE IT!!!
ON GUARD. LAST SEASON AT GRAND LAKE, THE KIDS FOUND STICKS TO PLAY SWORDS WITH, HIS FINGER ISN'T BOTHERING HIM TOO MUCH HERE!!
MISTER DUCKIE AND THE BRAVE JOEY. HE ONLY HAD TEARS WHEN THE DOCTOR HIT THE BONE WITH THE NEEDLE WHILE NUMBING IT. HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE FINGER BUT WE ARE STILL CHANGING BANDAGES EVERYNIGHT.
JOEY BABYING HIS POOR FINGER.
NOTICE THE SWIMMING POOL WHOLE IS FILLED UP. JACOB WAS SHOVELING THE DIRT INTO THE HOLE AND JOEY'S FINGER GOT IN THE WAY. THE NURSE AT THE HOSPITAL GAVE HIM THIS DUCKIE FOR BEING SO BRAVE. HE WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT IT FOR 2 WEEKS.

THE YEAR 2009!

THE END OF THE SUMMMER- JUST CHILLING OUT IN OUR HOME-MADE POOL. THIS POOL WILL BE THE END OF JOEY'S FINGER SOON. (post comming up)
