Friday again??

Well as you can see all that fishing has finally paid off and dave went catching today! He was up and out of the house early to spend the day on the river, even though he has caught my crud! It was obviously worth it since he caught a fish!! He was very happy, even made us take pictures of it! He cleaned it a shortly after he got home and there is apparently a little of it left for us to eat...he is thinking about taking a class to learn to filet a fish, if there is such a thing. Mom, the eye wash has not worked..I dilligently left my house early enough for work tonite to stop by the drug store and actually found eye wash with an eye cup. I got home from work around 9:30 and tried it right away, but it didn't seem to work, I will try it again before I go to bed. Cathi, Patience's sleepers are here, along with the stuff I exchanged from old navy and don's labels-we should try to hook up, maybe when jordyn is feeling better? Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Tails are fun!!

This is a picture of kwan playing tug of war with rylie's tail! Well, it has been over a week since I have posted. This past week was crazy and not fun, nothing I wanted to share or re-live. Except that I did get an A on my IDS 112 test, which was amazing since it consisted of 10 essay questions! The teacher is a little bit sadistic, but it's still better than "regular" math. I had puppy buyers come to visit their puppies yesterday and today, plus a club ride today, a trip to get hay and dinner at Mi Mexico. I did manage to sleep in so that helped somewhat with my cough- sore throat- headache thing I have going on. I have another big week coming up so I will probobly be hit and miss on news, I am apologizing in advance! (although most of you are definitely used to that about me by now) I have a mid-term in psych on friday, and a big presentation project I need to start with my group for IDS, and 5 pictures I need to draw from a famous artists' drawings. Not having to go to work would be especially helpful this week! Well I hope everyone had a great weekend and are refreshed for the coming week, I am off to bed!

Yay! it's Friday!

Here is a picture from way back at qualifyings, many of you may be wondering why hailey has a western bridle on Nick when she is obviously going in for an english class, and the answer is simple, we had two english bridles and three horses! there was a lot of turn taking...most of you probobly were not wondering but I thought I should clarify anyway. Well I made it to the end of the week, although I have a ton of stuff due next week as well as two tests that I should spend the better part of the weekend working on, at least I will get to sleep in! That would be where the Yay! comes in. Everything is going fine and dandy, was able to talk to my mom today and that always makes me feel better, thank God for moms! I'll be back next week, have a great weekend!!

This is Jake..

Well it's the end of the thursday, a long day to be sure, but at least it's over. the weather was very nice between classes. Not much going on, just the hectic schedule club. I had a lady call me about a puppy tonite, she wants one with a tail! sheesh, you just can't win..I told her next batch, if she wants to wait, we'll give her one with a tail. I'll keep you posted. Lindsay had a picture of her and Jake at his house and I thought you all might like to "meet" him. I'll get one of kelsey and Ben too, just to be fair and all. Well I'm off to do chores!

It's only tuesday?!

This is going to be a looong week, although I am not sure what I am in such a hurry to get to the weekend for, it actually just means another monday. work was a drain on my good humor last nite. Not to mention my teenage daughters.(were a drain) Oh well, they grow up and move out, and back, and out. The good news is the weather has been being nice, and with any luck I may get to mow one last time, all I need is a good 4-hour block of time. The mornings and nights are cold, but the days are sunny and pretty warm. We had to drag out the big blankets for the horses, and put the rain sheets back in the barn. We are officially down to one puppy to sell, the little girl. I don't think we'll have any trouble, they are awfully cute, I know I'm prejudice....Not much else to report, I'll try again tomorrow.

Time Flies!!

My how time flies, I can't believe how busy I am getting nothing done! At least that is how it feels. Saturday I got a lot of "house" stuff done waiting for some prospective puppy buyers to show up. Then I got some outside stuff done until it was time to go to the end-of-the-year 4-H party at the bowling alley. that took up the rest of the productive part of the day. Watched "kong" that night, very entertaining and kept you on the edge of your seat. The end was sad though. Sunday the girls had lessons at barb's so again that took just about forever, and we had a BBQ at the house with our kids and assorted other stray kids. It was nice but a far cry from cathi's thanksgiving feast! today is monday, I had a psych quiz this morning, hoping for the best, did some errands, took kelsey to ride her horse, dave took her to whatcom for her classes, and here I am, blogging! then it's off to the shower and off to work, yay! with the hope of making money but of course no guarantee. Tomorrow I have art and ethnomath, more riding, a meeting at the library, I won't go on, you get the picture.

Yay! we are half way there!

well, today I finally took kelsey to do her written driver's test and she passed! She finished in 10 minutes, when she came out of the testing room I figured she failed and the computer turned off, but she only missed two! I was surprised and apparently looked that way, Kelsey was offended since I had told her before she went in I knew she would be able to pass it, of course I wasn't really sure but I was trying to give her a pep talk. So now she has her "driving" drive test on the 19th of oct, and if all goes well we will not have to cart her around anymore! I am so excited, I think Ben and Lindsay will be as well. That was the good news for the day, now we are off to a baby shower, oh the fun never ends!

Meet Dave...

Ok, how about a human picture

My two cents...

After a quick catch-up on cathi's blog I am going to give my somewhat unimpressive rendition of a blog. This was a long day of school, to make matters worse I locked the keys in the car before my second class, now normally as most of you know I would never dream of locking my car! But today during my break I had run to the feed store and target, and I didn't want anybody to take anything, so I left the keys in the ignition (where they always are) and locked the door and shut it! Luckily, Kelsey was on her way to Whatcom for her classes, so she met me between her classes and gave me her spare! whew! wont be locking the door again!! Not much else new, I inadvertantly sent a picture of the female puppy to what I thought was the buyer, however, I was mistaken, it was another couple who just happened to be interested in the last male puppy, funny how things work out sometimes. Then I managed to come up with a testable hypothesis for my psych paper, so all in all life is good. I love the picture of the girls, and yes I do barely remember Ruby Z, I wonder what I did with all mine? Tomorrow is another huge list of things to do, wish me luck. I talked to cody last night, he is doing well. He and his friend Travis decided to take up fly fishing, and now they are pretty much experts! He didn't send me any pictures he did however post them on his Myspace. I know it's getting old but I am going to put another picture of the puppies!!

Monday again

Well here it is monday again, on the positive side mom & lee are home safe and sound from their fantastic trip to Hawaii! I am just a bit envious, but at least the weather here has been quite cooperative. I was treated to a wonderful visit from my sister and two adorable neices on saturday, and of course she has all the good pictures! It was great fun to see them and it was a welcome break for me, since I am not smart enough to stop working even though I am hurting! I did manage to get EVERYTHING done this weekend, which included, but was not limited to unloading a pick-up load of rock, moving dirt/sand another 8 feet out of the arena, replacing the pellet flooring of the puppy pen, and swapping out some straw bales, laundry, mowing the back yard, vacuuming and I actually had a hand in dinner on sunday night. Kelsey and Ben are both sick (hmmm...) so they spent the better part of the day on sunday asleep on the couch. Hailey and her two friends did whatever, I'm not sure, I was much too busy to pay attention. Dave fished a lot, and that was about it! Not exactly riveting reading but here it is monday again and so we start all over.
