The Other Half

Ever wonder what others are doing when you away from home. Now is your chance to catch peek.

Dinner is over

They have been outside.

Why oh why are they all beside me and following me?

McDonals breakfast

Who is joining us? Nobody!!

Some how we ordered a doubles.

We are definitley full

and ready to walk it off at the car show.

Fun cars to look at.

Gotta love Herbie

Only if you are old enough to remember him.

New Hobby Lobby open

for business.

I believe our town surprised their business .

The lines to check out are almost to the back of the store.

No worries! Not much left on the shelves.

Last Christmas Decoration

I alway find something I miss when packing things away.

This years leftover I found much quicker than usual.

2 weeks is a record!!

Sunday desert run

Indy is the only one who will bring the ball or rock back.

Thank goodness there are more than enough rocks for everyone.

New variety looking for a cookie

that stays soft for longer with a little added Maple Syrup.

Saying hi!!

She enjoyed her 1st day of her internship.

She has the battle wounds to show for it.

Knee pads are going to be a good investment.

It's been a busy week with maybe too many adventures. We need more down time.

Lake Havasu Road Trip

The kids are off again on another adventure to Lake Havasu with Ruston's grandparents.

Rockin her look

and just a little spicy.

Ruston is the drivers

seat with laser focus.

Icy drink and a whole lot of

VWs

Pretty and Pink

River Cruise with London Bridge

as the main attraction.

Time to relax and enjoy the party atmosphere

That is not a VW

It looks like everyone had a great time. It might be a little hard to come back to the real world with 2 puppies demanding their full attention.

What's Up?

Janury is in full swing with a little craziness throw in on the side.

Aren't these clouds amazing

to look at. If it would only start raining.

Dexter gets a new haircut

It really helps with his vision.

One minor problem they gave him a summer cut.

It's only January!!

I found his jacket since he was shaking.

It didn't last very long.

He figured out how to get it off. Soon curled up and slept 

the afternnon away.

Greeting from Logan

It's nice an snowy.

It's a winter wonderland.

Maybe a little slippery.

Drive safe Reganne.

What did we find?

This Ragady Ann received a very uneven haircut

in her past.

Rylee now ignores me when I send her these pictures.

Happy Sunday!!

Cinnamon Flop for breakfast.

Ryder was in heaven.

One problem this is way much food  for 2 people

A redo from Christmas

No substitution this time around.

It was a a cold week but not much wet stuff. This might be a dry year after all.

A New Year

Let 2026 begin with putting away Christmas for 12 months.

Dave's tree still looks

pretty amazing.

How are we going to store it?

I hope he has a plan. I am fresh out of ideas.

First picture of the new year.

I hope this sealed off straw is not an indication

of how this year will be.

Rylee is busy studying for

dispatch school which starts in a week.

Reganne sharing the snowy & cold weather

in Logan.

Time for everything to be

packed away.

This part I can handle.

These mud puppies

are banished to the kennel.

They found mud to play in. Then sprayed down with the hose.

They were not to happy to be cooped up.

They also don't smell very good.

Pizza for dinner

Love Ruston's new hat.

Bring on the new year and all the fun adventures that await us.

One More Story

A few more stories as we end the year on a fun note.

Coming home for lunch

and the drive way has a VW Van that hasn't 

visited before.

Ruston & Ryder trying to solve another problem at work.

Good morning!!

and pop, sizzle, and a little smoke.

It's dead!!

It's been awhile since I bought one.

Lucky me found a perfect replacement.

VW car show

and Brunch at Liberty Cafe.

Fun time hanging out with extended family.

Grinch Bananas

Dave's name for who I like my bananas.

I need Reganne back home to eat my ripe ones.

Girl Time

at the movies watching Wicked sequal 

Why does it have to be so long?

Dave & Ryder

took a road trip and found cheaper gas.

It only lasted the month. It was great while it lasted.

Flowering Plant

I have been trying to rescue this plant the past couple of months.

Moving it into the bathroom during Christmas it was able to bloom.

Being in the bathroom in direct sunshine also brought with it bugs!!

I know have my work cut out in getting rid of them in my jetted tub.

Was it worth it?

Being a Sunbeam teacher

is the best. Ox brought me chocolates.

Christmas tree tear down

at BON.

The Buddy the Elf tree had ornaments filled with mini mms.

I have enough for my popcorn.

Happy New Years

Piper snuggled down when the fireworks 

started popping off.

It kept up and she headed off to bed under Ryder's bed.

Here's to 2026!! Bring it on!!

Merry Christmas

This years celebrating will be different with everyone having different schedules. We need to be flexible and have as much fun as possible.

Family dinner

 Buffalo Wild Wings

Everyone has their favorites.

This left time to joke, tease, and even a few laughs.

Christmas Survey what is your favorite treat?

Rylee - Muddie Buddies

Reganne - Pretzel Rolo's

Never made before but cool to try.

Mine - Sugar Cookies

Ryder - Snickerbars

I tried a swap of maple syrup for the

corn syrup.

Huge fail!!

Sometime trying to be healthier just doesn't work.

All hands on deck for

Christsmas Eve Dinner

We are excited to have Ruston's family with us.

Reganne's yummy, cheesy mac & cheese.

Christmas morning came a little to early for some of us.

Fun to watch the gifts for each other.

They are so creative.

Rylee & Ruston 

gifted Ryder with a scratch off map.

He can keep track of all his trips.

One down

Sister helping sister

Cute lizzard earrings.

Family breakfast

Time for a nap!

Miss Indy plopped down in her Christmas dress.

Clean up

Piper is demanding to go for a run in the desert.

Rylee even made custom

wrapping paper.

Who could throw this away?

Christmas rolls for lunch.

It was a great week spending time as a family. We will take every second, minute, hour, or days they are able to spend with each other. We also hope that everyone had a great Christmas as well.
