HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Here is your official 2009 Naked Turkey picture from Portland, Oregon! Thank goodness the other turkey's dressed! Ha ha ha!!

Pregnant Sisters-in-law!

Playing with Aunt Terri - while Kyle "rolls" Trevor's dry paint roller across Z's head.

Aunt Kyle came to visit!

Ears Pierced

Well, unfoturnately I don't have a picture of this other than on my phone, but I got Jazzy's ears pierced yesterday. It was easy and simple.... minus the nervous, gone pale white, nauseous, grandmother trying to convince me to not do it! She was a nightmare, but once it was done she settled down again.
We were able to have both ears done at the same time to save on putting her through pain twice. MUCH easier and HIGHLY recommended to Trevor (if they decide to do it)!!
She screamed for 2 seconds and then took her bottle and that was it.... no problems! She has little gold balls in her ears and will add a picture to this later when I take some.

Rain

So it actually rained last night. I know, I didn't think that it rained in the dessert either. Much to my surprise, while I was getting ready for the gym this morning at 5, it rained again. I guess all of my requests and prayers have been answered. I may not have to water this week.

Daily Puppy

Mookie felt there was really nothing to bring him to this blog, so he asked me to add the Daily Puppy! Enjoy! (That is IF you ever look at this page!)

Spring has sprung!

We planted tomatoes and strawberries earlier this spring and we are starting to see results!! Who knew a bunch of city slickers like us had green thumbs!!

First harvest! Yep only three, but the sweetest strawberries ever.


Don't they look yummy?? Went out to pick the next batch that I had seen ripening, but by they time I got there someone, or something had beat me to it!! So we had to put up some "protection". Since Kevin and I couldn't figure a schedule for sitting on the roof with a bb gun we had to improvise....

Nope! That's not the protection. Think of it as a commercial break. Just the lillies in our front yard! Pretty!! And there's a ton of them!

Can't really see it that well in this picture of Kevin musing over all the things he's going to put tomatoes in, but we put up a "cage" of bird netting around our garden. As well as the tomatotes and strawberries, I planted some basil, cilantro and oregano!! If only I knew what to do with it!!

The fruits of Kevin's labors!!

I've gone all newfangled and I'm using the Topsy-Turvy!! AS SEEN ON TV!! But purchased at Fred Meyer at a fraction of the cost! So far, so good! Got a bunch of Juliet tomatoes growing at the moment. Also put a plant for Big Boys, but I dropped the whole thing while I was putting soil in it, so I thing Big Boy was really a wuss, 'cause it's not doing as well.

3 years

Hard to believe that it has been three years since my Mom passed away. I still miss her so much. I had a few cries today and posted a bunch of pictures of her on Facebook. I wish I was close enough to put flowers on her grave. We are planning a trip down to CA in August, so I will deliver some then.
