There’s a new Sheriff and Cowgirl in town.

 

Hannah’s First Day of Preschool

View Full Album

 

Our first day of preschool was a success.  No tears, no not wanting to go, just a “goodbye Mom”.  How nice is that.  The only thing was that Cole cried at the door for her.  How sad.

 

Sitting in the class with all of her new friends.  She was so excited to see her name on the window when we walked up.  I can’t tell you how happy I’m that school has finally started.

Another Cake Attempt

I attempted to make another cake for my niece’s 13th birthday.

Nickie’s 60th Birthday

Ace of Cakes we are not, but it looks pretty good for my first attempt at making an extreme cake.   Everything was made from scratch, the cake, butter cream frosting, and the rolled fondant.  I had some help by Stephanie, the girls, Hannah, and Jeremy.

It actually looks a lot shorter than it appears in this picture.

Mammoth

 

The Bronzed Mammoth at the Base of the Ski Resort.

Hannah on the Zip Line.  It was a really big zip line.  I thought for sure she was not going to do it.  She climbed up the 20 ft ladder, and away she went.  “Did you see me mom I flew like a bird”

 

My Big Boy

 

Hannah on the rock wall at Mammoth Mtn.  She motored up the wall, and got about 3/4 of the way and then looked down.  She got scared and wanted to come down.

 

Pictures form the Lakes Basin about 3 miles from my house.

Hannah wanted to sit on every rock, every log, and hide behind every tree.  It was too cute.

While we were out taking pictures of the beautiful surroundings that I grew up in we saw Sam and Betty.  Sam and Betty live across the street from my parents in Mammoth, and have lived there for as long as I can remember.  They have always been a special part of my life, and it was just wonderful to see them :)

“Mom can you see me now?" Cole was determined to get in the Fire Truck car, but Ben was not going to get out.   Cole decided he would just get in on top of Ben.

My Garden

 

I had originally planted a few things in the side yard with Hannah, but she soon lost all interest and it became my obsession.  I go outside everyday and look for new growth.  I have found several of these little watermelons, but they just shrivel up and die.  I am very hopeful that I will get at least one watermelon.   They were just too cute not to take a picture of.

These little guys are probably not the size of my pinky finger nail.

My Corn.  I don’t have any ears of corn yet.
