Calvin, Clinton and Joanne in the back yard. Just hanging around after we ate some wonderful food.
Mike, Ava and Brad talking about dirt bikes I am sure!
Marga and Clintons new little angel!! Sophia. She is really beautiful and such a good baby.
Zip trying to figure out what is going on in this strange place. He liked the other dogs and the chickens and was really good on this little trip to Yuba City. 
We got this toy for Nixon while in Provo and he is loving looking at all the toys and noises. He loves to stand up so this will make him feel like he is a big boy!
Nixon likes Zip! The first meeting with the family. The people we got Zip from have a girl that is named Kandis too!! She is at Harvard!
The morning we left we had breakfast outside on the patio and then we played with Nixon one last time before heading home. I just can't get enough of this little man! 
We put up the tent in the rain but by morning the weather had cleared and it was beautiful. We picked up Zip that morning and brought him back to take down the tent and return to Provo. We had a great time tracking deer, antelope and elk and even saw a huge herd of elk up in the mountains. It was truly a beautiful sight to see these magnificent animals in the wild.
This is our campsite at Fish Lake
You can tell it is a little rainy!
This picture is at our Lodge. They had fun things around to take pictures of.
another part of the lodge.
We did a 1/2 day ride on horses into the Capital Reef State Park. It was amazing to see this park on horseback. I had the white horse and Sid had the brown horse in the middle. My hose always wanted to eat and stop. I had to pull on the reins all morning. The weather held off until the last 5 minutes
Here is Sid in his "riding" clothes (hee hee) His wranglers and cowboy shirt!! I was so embarrassed to be seen with him in this stuff! He does look cute though don't you think??? Don't forget the binoculars around his neck. He won't ever leave those at home!!
We stayed at this amazing place for our 34th anniversary. It even had buffalo in the front pasture to gaze out each morning and evening during breakfast. I still want one on my wall!
This is our private little patio out our room. The view was beautiful with the stream and red rock formations. 
We ate at a local little place and had a great big hamburger and onion rings! Sid and I both enjoyed this great little place. 
This is the front of the lodge where we stayed. It has 15 rooms that are all different and a great little restaurant that serves breakfast during the week and dinner on the weekends. 
This was our first look at Zip from his kennel. We were thrilled to finally see him and see what a great looking dog he is. He came right out and went straight for Sid and gave us a friendly greeting!
Zip is shorter than Rusty but much more muscular in build. He is a very sweet dog and does not growl or bite at things. He will just lick you to death!! 
We stopped at Kandis and Nic's place before we picked up Zip and had some fun with Nixon. He is getting so big and laughs and chuckles so cute. Very healthy little guy!! A delight to play with.
Ava has a new little girl to share her toys with now!!! You are looking at our new little baby schnauzer! I got her for our 34th Anniversary present. Call me crazy but I could not resist this cute little girl. Ava likes watching her run around and chase her toys. I still have not heard her bark yet so I hope that is a good sign.
Here is another shot of her. She is really small and I am sure she will be smaller than Pepper. She has a really small head and feet. She weighs 3 pounds now and she is 9 weeks old. She was born on April 6th. 
She is black with a little white on her chest and the tips of her feet. I am trying to decided on a name but so far I think I will call her "Betty Boop". Little Betty is so excited for all of you to come and visit and see her in July!! 
I think this is kind of patriotic!! They should be really big by the 4th of July.
Don't you just want to walk up this path and read a book if I just had a chair to sit on! I think I should be on the cover of Sunset Magazine! thanks Mark and Judy.
This tree is by the convention center and across from Disneyland. It is HUGE!! Sid had to climb up it to give you the perspective of the size of this thing. Seriously HUGE!
We went to Utah to bless Nixon and these are some shots that are on my camera of Nixon. Sid has some really good ones that he needs to load on the computer so I can blog them for you. Enjoy!
I thought this was a funny look on Nixons face with grandpa!! He looks surprised for some reason. 
We went to lunch at the Riverwoods and this was a picture of Nixon and I outside enjoying the sunshine. He is such a chunk!
