A Day at the Bay

On Sunday Mike and Christy were asked to speak in church so the Meyer family and ourselves decided to go down and watch Jack and Ave while they spoke in church. It was an amazingly beautiful day at the marina and we took a walk after church. These purple plants are everywhere and they are HUGE. They remind me of a purple pineapple! I wonder if they would grow in my yard.???

Ava is sleeping in the stroller at this point but you get the idea of how wonderful the weather was and the beautiful ice plant was all over the place. Sail boats and bikers everywhere.

Here is Ava and Christy at the deli waiting for some lunch.

Can you believe how big Jack is getting??? He is so happy and smiley all the time. It was great to see their place and how cute Christy has decorated their apartment. The people in their ward just love them so much and are so grateful for them moving into their ward. It was a wonderful day.

Zip and Betty having a moment together. Usually Betty is barking and bugging Zip all the time and jumping all over him but they seem to get along once in awhile.

Have you tried these yet??? They are so yummy we just had to buy some after having a taste in the store. REALLY really good. I can't say which I like better. They are both great.

My beautiful birthday flowers are still in bloom a week after my birthday! I just love to look at them. Thanks Jacob and Julia.

Loraya's special day today!

Loraya on her blessing day!! What a cutie and so smiley. The dress was bigger than she was and she was just beautiful.

Always smiling and laughing. A very roly poly baby!

The serious side of this little girl. Julia always dressed her so cute and notice the accessories on her wrist. I just want to squeeze those sweet cheeks.

So so so cute! Happy birthday Loraya. This is the way I remember you! Now you are all grown up and so big! 6 years old today!

Things that make Sid SMILE

Sid got up bright and early this morning and went hunting for the big Tom turkey. He set up a blind the night before at a friends private property and this morning he nailed him with his bow.

He was a biggy! He got him in the leg first and then he flew a ways away. Sid waited for him to die and then went over and shot him again just to make sure he was dead! While doing that 2 other toms came over to his decoys and started strutting their stuff and wouldn't leave his decoys alone.

Check out these spurs on his feet. The biggest ones I have seen him bring home to date.

A seriously ugly bird if you ask me. The beard on this old tom was really long. Much longer than the one we have in the office. I am sure he will go back to get another one before the season is over. He sure was excited about this one. Gobble Gobble

Things that make me SMILE!

If you want to get some attention at church wear these shoes!! I wore them on Sunday and you would have thought some people have never seen amazing shoes like these! These make me smile. I got them in Minnesota when I was visiting Kristin and we wore them for our photo shoot with myself, Kristin and Kandis. We all wore HOT shoes and had fun. If you want to see the pictures you can go onto Johnsharpephotography.com and click on clients and then on Rose family and see the unedited pictures of our group shots. Those pictures make me smile.

This closet makes me smile. I got new little boxes to put my socks in and they are so fun to look at. I got them at Home goods for small change and together with my shoes they make me smile!

Sorry this birthday card is sideways but I just had to share it with everyone. Sid gave it to me this morning and I still can't stop laughing. The dog on the front looks like our lab Zip! Read on for the funny part.

The funny part is that Betty always sticks her head around the shower to see me in the shower and just stares at me! Weird I know! Zip is a POINTING lab so what Sid wrote on the card was hilarious

Thanks for all the birthday love coming my way. The flowers were beautiful from Jacob and Julia and thanks for all the phone calls. That makes me SMILE!!

Hapy Birthday!!

A great day for Zip and Sid

Look at all of these pheasants!! 16 to be exact. Sid was asked to be part of a special hunt at the pheasant club and so this was an extra Saturday for Sid and Zip to have some fun. I think Sid was the highest shooter of the day and he would have gotten more if he didn't run out of shells!

You can see Zip licking his chops at the birds. It was a real test of Sid's strength to keep him away from these birds. He wanted to roll all over them and pick them up and play with them.

Zip looks like he is saying thank's Sid for taking me hunting. You are the best! We just love seeing Zip point those birds and he never seems to get tired. If it is hot he will get tired but it was a cool and breezy day today so perfect for both of them.
