Our Latest Project


Our newest project is a newborn goat we named "Minnie" (as in Minnie Mouse). She is a bottle-fed baby who we just adopted. Hopefully we'll have her integrated into the herd by month's end. Isn't she a cutie?

March

During march we spent two weekends with special "granddaughter events". In the beginning of March Brooke was baptized by her father in Simi Valley. We enjoyed the quick trip to witness her baptism and visit with Mark's family and Tate a bit. Toward the end of March we traveled south to the San Diego area. Tate gave our newest granddaughter, Jocelyn, a beautiful blessing. We enjoyed a fun weekend with family and friends! Then on Monday, Jody treated John & I, Karina & Karlee and Michelle & Juan's family all to a day at the San Diego zoo. March was a fun month! (Unfortunately, I forgot my camera on both trips.)

Valentine's Day

It's been well over a month since I've written anything so I guess I'd better. I am now on several networks: Classmates.com, CattleGrower Network, Facebook and have this blog to do - it all takes way more time than I should be spending doing this. I really should be updating our own website! Sigh...
John & I had a very nice, simple Valentine's Evening with Karina & Mark! We had dinner at Mimi's Cafe and then played Pinochle and had Banana Splits at the Snow's house. It was especially wonderful for Mark & I since we won! It had been awhile since we'd played with the Snows and we enjoyed it. I hope you all had a special Valentine's celebration too!

Christmas Eve 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with the Cheney Family! Dawn & Mark roasted a great turkey with all the trimmings and served a scrumptious cheesecake for dessert. The girls were so much fun and were very excited about opening their gifts!

Austin was a very happy boy on his 1st Christmas Eve!

Aussie Critters


Sorry, no Roos.
























Brahman cattle seem to be the popular breed.

Sydney






Another view of Sydney's The Rocks.......




It was rainy in Sydney, so John & I bought Aussie hats.















Sights of Sydney's Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour and views from the Bridge, including the famous Sydney Opera House.

We enjoyed staying in the Historic Sebel Pier One Hotel in The Rocks.
