Carley's Facial

Picture Carley drew for her dad.

Carley's picture she drew for me......

This is for Ben, Uncle Ryan wanted you to see the horned toad that he found.....Carley said it was HUGE!

Ryan, Joshua, Daniel and Carley (the day before Memorial Day) at Riggs Lake. It was really cold up on the mountain that day!

Daniel (fishing), Joshua (who caught the big fish) and Uncle James. We are at Cluff Ponds on Memorial Day.

See the bee? A good friend and I were talking today about how pretty these plants are (they're all around town). I have one in my yard - they're really great 'cause they don't care if you forget to water them.

Carley, Joshua, and Daniel............my three
little angles ;-)

Josh's papa gave him a trap - this is his first catch (Josh was so happy!). The chipmunk was "freed" (escaped) shortly after his capture.

Daniel (catching the ball) and Josh (right behind Daniel) at their t-ball game this May.

Thought..........

Guess it's not so much a "Blank Page" any more...............I'm gonna have to think of a new title one of these days............don't wanna push it though..........today's the most I've blogged (if you can call it that) since I started.

Carley came home from school with great news! She won a contest for an essay at school and she gets to read it on the intercom (to the whole school) next week. Here's her essay:

My Journey as a Water Droplet

I was minding my own business in a lake and I started evaporating. I didn't know what to do so I did what everybody else did, grab on to a dust particle and formed a cloud. Then I froze up and fell as snow. SPLAT! Onto a glacier. Then I melted and filtered into ground water. I'm filtered into the river. After that, I was so scared because a mouth came right for me. Then I got all drank up. I found a way out and dripped off the animals fur. I was absorbed into the plant. Quickly I leave the plant through the process of transpiration. It rains and I fall into the ocean. I'll never want to go through that process again. But that is my life as a water droplet.

Dan the Man

Daniel last summer in Michigan, at his Uncle Dave and Aunt Mikey's house......now why didn't they have something like that when I was little :-)
