BOB (not Robert)

So my dad was wanting to get a dog.  One day he went outside and saw this dog out in the field.  He called him over and started petting him and then he went and bought food and starting feeding it.  He had really sore paws and we don't know where he came from.  My dad looked in the paper everyday to see if somone posted about a lost dog and no one ever did, so my dad got his dog and his name is Bob.  Funny thing is, is that it is the breed that my dad wanted because we grew up with Australian Shepherds.  He is a good dog.

APRICOTS

We went out to Malta and picked a whole bunch of apricots at Roberts Uncles house.  I made apricot jam, apricot syrup, and just bottled apricots.  It was a lot of fun.  I had help of course from a great friend. 

My Mother-in-Law

So this picture was taken in June of 2011.  My in-laws were up visiting and I wanted a picture with my mother-in-law Rachel.  Oh, I love this women.  She is sooooo very talented.  She loves to cook and I have learned so much from her.  She is kind, loving, caring, funny, fun, and just AMAZING!

Baby Lynlee

My friend Kristy had her baby 1 day after Briannas Birthday.  May 22nd!  Her name is Lynlee and she is soooooo cute!

June 2011 Softball

Brianna played softball for the first time.  The coach pitches up until she is in 4th grade.  She LOVES it!  She does pretty well also. 

We got this cute little kitten May of 2011.  Yes I am over a year behing on blogging.  It is time to catch up.  The sad thing is though, is that we had to get rid of her about a week after we got her.  Our other cat "Ariel" just does not like other kittens or cats.  She is the queen of the house and is not will ing to share any part of the back yard.  Oh, well though.

I made her cake this year. I bought colored fondont at the store and cut the flowers out of it. It was fun making and I think it turned out pretty cute!
