Hello...

Well it has been such a long time since I last blogged. I know you have all missed me soooo much. Anyway I have been quite busy lately...okay not so much busy as not inside much...it has been such beautiful weather lately I haven't wanted to stay inside. Kailye and I have been planting flowers, weeding and cleaning up around mom's yard. We have also been on countless walks "up the mountain" behind our house. We have found several new trails and seen LOTS of animal foot prints. Kailye always gets very excited when she sees "the really, really, really big doggy" foot prints...I think it may be a mountain lion or cougar. (note to self no hiking at dusk or after dark)

Michael and Kailye and I went on a drive yesterday when I was a slacker and didn't go to work. We drove for about two hours in the foothills behind the house but only managed to go six miles. I love four wheeling, except when michael decides he wants to take the 4-runner up a path he says is "barely steeper than the road we live on"...Kailye and I got out to walk up...I figured if he rolled the car someone would need to call 911. Let me tell you, that road was ALOT steeper than the one we live on. Our street is a 13% grade I think this one was about 50%. I'm not exagerating. Kailye crawled up on her hands and feet. I wish I would have taken my camera. (I always forget it.) I'm sure we'll drive up there again soon I'll take a picture so you all can see. After that I took Michael over to where our dog is burried. I could tell where it was because my dad always puts the Elk bones from the hunt on the grave for Dutchy. He loves bones, he was killed chewing on one...pause...sigh...ahhh...sorry such a touching moment.

Well I better get back to work, I still have to be here another hour...did I mention I was a slacker yesterday...I'm paying for it today.

Love You all..peace :)
