Rose is developing beautifully! She is such a sweetheart and the most awaesome disposition.
She adores attention and tries to get in all the scratches she can.

Fun Visitor

This beautiful red dragonfly visited me yesterday and today.
He is a Red Flame Skimmer. He just hung out with me for a good 1/2 hour.

I really enjoy seeing him as I have never seen a red dragonfly before.

SandCastle Contest at Cannon Beach

This year our family participated in the SandCastle contest at Cannon Beach, Oregon. We have never done this before so we were too sure what we need or what we were in for. :)

It was a lot of fun!!! Definitely a unique experience. The sandcastles creator by the masters were incredible. We did alright too! My daughter and her friend made a dragon and won 2nd place for the teenage group. My group didn't win anything but particpating and hearing all the comments and enjoyment was enough. I do have to say that when our time was almost up the crowd was so huge that you felt a bit intimidated. I have never done artwork in front of people. It was a good and challenging experience. We learned a lot and had a ton of fun. I think we will do it again :)

2nd Place - Teen Group

How cute !

What an awesome yearling to be so trusting!

Another fun tidbit

When I visited GridIron last on May 1, 2009, I measured him.
He was already 15.1-1/2 hh to hip. He is already taller than his Dad!!!

He's going to be a big boy!

Oops!

I have been totally swamped lately with sprucing up the farm and have been behind on posting on the blog. My lovely case of poison oak hasn't been helping either.

Thank you for your patience!

Below are a couple new birthday wishes and an update.

More will soon be following
