Donovan's New Coat

Donovan opened a gift from Earl and Katie - a jean jacket that has been passed down from his great-grandfather.



It won't fit for long - but it's a wonderful family heirloom. Once Donovan outgrows it, I think we'll put it in a shadow-box with the story of the jacket and the patch.

Audri & Samson

The kids are here! Audri quickly asked to help feed Samson:


It's going to be a great summer!

Summer Plans

It seems that summer might actually be here! We have thought so twice before, but then it's turned colder again. Now our fingers are crossed that it's here to stay.

The kids will be here next weekend (the 23rd) and we are making summer plans. Of course, with the animals we can't just leave, but we don't need to. I will be headed North for a week, Audri wants to see her friends in Twin for a week, Josh and Donovan want a few days of boys time in the woods (something about getting dirty and not caring)... we have passes to the water park, we dug out our rafts and can float the river... we want to explore Idaho a bit and head to Silver City (a ghost-town about an hour away) and few other places as day-trips.

We're not entirely sure what the summer will bring, but we're excited that it's here!
