Crime Spree

I have been hit by bandits. The first sign I noticed something was wrong was when my bird feeder was found down on the ground below the deck. I figured the wind had blown it off the rebar. But the second time was really strange, it was sitting up on top of the handrail with the contents missing. Dennis said it must be racoon's. So I stuck a potato on the end of the rebar as s stopper in case the wind had been possibly moving it. And sure enough once again the bird feeder was up on top of the handrail. And with the new snow fall ( yes it is still snowing) the band of thieves had left many tracks. So I set out to see if I could catch the little clever varmints. I set my baby monitor out on the the deck got my camera set up on a tripod set ready to go and after one sleepless night of jumping out of bed every time the monitor made a noise, I would tiptoe through the house as to not make a sound to go see if I get a picture of the band of thieves... they did not show.... my plan failed.








Hard to believe last Saturday I mowed my lawn took Hadley and Wesley to the park to feed the ducks and play and today we are back to snow shovels with the weather men predicting flooding and to get your sand bags ready. Both the girls have new tricks Hadley has learned to cross and re-cross her eyes and Wesley loves to stretch her mouth out with her fingers. She has also had her first trip to the doctors for stitches after having a wrestling match with a rocking chair at day care and the chair won.


















And.......... I got my Christmas tree down!! I recruited my granddaughter Payton to come over and help me clean and with strict orders that if I made a move to go get onto my computer she was to smack me and tell me "NO".

Antique Toasters

I thought it might be fun to do individual pictures of my toaster collection. Two down and more to go.

Back In The Saddle Again-Antelope Island

This ride was a new adventure it is the first time Dennis and I were on the east side of the island ridding a new trail. We got a special permit that allows you to ride up above the Garr Ranch. Weather was of course unpredictable we went from spring to winter 3-4 times in the few hours we were there . After the ride we went and explored the ranch it is so peaceful and quiet there.

Paige has had a loose tooth now I bet for two months. I guess her motto is SLOW AND STEADY! While visiting last night we all were discussing the best way to pull a tooth. Paige was little apprehensive with all the many ways to pull a tooth. So I had this great idea and told her if she pulled it I would give her five bucks, that's all it took she wiggled and giggled but not much progress. So I suggested to lasso it with some dental floss and and try harder. Well she was exhausted by the time we left and the little tooth did not want to to come out.

I know

I am a sick twisted individual that has more to do than to play with photo shop....good news is I got my Christmas tree down!
APRIL FOOLS!
