Smart kids.

So proud of how hard they worked their first year of high school! Nice GPA’s with tough classes.

Of course it would rain when we are trying to pour concrete.

 

Search.

Breeding dogs reputably is not an easy feat. It takes a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and dollars to do it right and produce puppies that you can be proud of. I often think about retiring, and we only have a litter or two every couple of years as it is. When I get news like this it makes me so proud of my pups. Echo is a certified Search and Rescue dog, this is Eleven’s littermate. They were called upon to search the New Mexico South Fork fire and she did amazing for a young dog. So proud of this team. Way to work you guy

 

Big Fish.

Jericho is spending the week camping and fishing with his Grandma and Auntie. He told me he was going to catch a big one...18" rainbow, he said it was delicious. 

Blooming.

I was thinking about hitting up the Tulip farm again for some pics. Haven't done that since the kids were little. Unfortunately, I missed it and they are done for the year. So the girls and I had a little photo fun at home. Who needs tulips when you have weeds...err wild flowers at home. Without horses to eat our pasture down it has gone crazy. I paid dearly for this...note to self don't forget your allergy meds if you plan to play with an allergen LOL. 

They did remake this old fave for me awwwww <3

Silly girls....dancing in the weeds.

Hayden is such a ham sometimes...she was cracking Lily up the whole time. This girl is a force of nature, so very talented, smart and kind. She allowed the tiniest bit of makeup, which she promptly washed off the second I was done taking pictures LOL.

Lily is the sweetest, most helpful, and entertaining person I know. Such a big heart, I just hope the world doesn't squish it.

Vroom vroom.

 Hayden is doing a pretty good job, for sure not ready to be driving alone but getting closer.

Lily and Hayden had their first driving time with the driving instructor. Hayden did good. Lily hasn’t had the practice Hayden has, and let’s just say it didn’t don’t go as well LOL. We get a text from Hayden that just says “Help” Jason and I were like oh no Lily must be driving. Lily said “I felt like a less confident, and less fabulous version of Cher” shout out to those that get the Clueless reference. Poor kid, more practice needed.

Happy Father's Day.

These are some lucky kids. They won the Dad lottery for sure. Happy Father’s Day babe, thanks for being an incredible father and role model. The kids got a bunch of stuff for their dad. Hayden’s handmade card may win for the biggest laugh. OMG. 

Rookie Rollin'

I was leaving work and noticed one of the kids "Student Driver" signs got left on my car after Hayden drove yesterday. I threatened her with a "the next time she leaves this on my car for me to drive around with she will be grounded from driving" LOL. At least it was the tame one out of her plethora. It has also turned into a fun game at work. Trying to put it on each others cars and see how quick they notice LOL. 

Tournament weekend playing pickup at center. Crazy weather this weekend. I got soaked by rain and a little sunburned in the same 8 hours at the fields.

Almost the end of the year.

Freshman year is coming to a close soon. Hayden and Lily got some awards that mean the world to them. Hayden’s last project for art class is coming along nicely too.
