Another exciting day at the farm......

We've been awaiting the arrival of the latest cutie, I so wish I was out there to see him in real life..........soon! Last night I got a call saying it will be SOON! Nothing yet this morning, then mid afternoon I got another call, the little buckskin male had arrived. Congratulations Daryl & Lori, and thanks so much for the pictures!

Pa watches over Babe!

He's here, he's here!

Tough to get up when you have such long legs!

I think it might be time for a drink!

Standing tall & proud!

The perfect picture.......Mom & Baby!

Mother's Day funny....hopefully you agree with BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!

Seen this on another blog, thanks for the laugh Janna!

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/mothers-day-picture.html

I can't keep up with all the pictures I want to post!

Here's a few more.................MOST of these are on my scrapbooking table, waiting to be SCRAPBOOKED!


To most this might look like any other snapshot...............BUT IT'S NOT! First off it is very special..............Baba & Gido with ALL of the GREAT GRANDCHILDREN! Secondly it is a huge task to get a GOOD picture of 6 little ones all 5 years or younger, and 2 seniors! No matter who's looking, who's not................it's a GREAT memory!

Gido & the kids fishing(Dana, Brody, & Natasha)!

I just love this picture.................the only things it's missing is a FISH!

Well, this little exercise has been going on in our family for a looooooooooooong time. This time it's Ashley's turn to MEASURE UP(her first entry on the board)!

This one is a REAL DEAL in the making.........Natasha wasn't overly friendly with Pa when he came home for dinner. When it was time for Pa to give Natasha a horse ride, take Natasha out to the cows, and the other fun stuff, it was deal time. Next time Natasha comes to visit she was going to be friendly, if not............no farm fun! They shook hands and made a DEAL!

bye bye cows.........love the wave!

I think Pa is going over the deal one last time.....just to make sure she's GOT IT!

DOESN'T THIS HAPPY FACE..........

make you think it's going to be a GREAT DAY?

Picture taken(by Danica)while Natasha was playing ball with Great Gido. Gido was pitching, and Natasha was at bat................she hit the ball, and was off to the races!

Note: Great Gido 89 years-6+ months/Natasha 2 years-8 months

On the JOB...........

I just HAD to go and see how he was doing! It was pretty funny as he was trying to ack like he didn't know me, but yet at the same time get a few words in on the sly! He was okay, seemed a bit stressed/nervous! As I was leaving there was a semi-truck filled with plant racks that they were going to unload.......so at least he was busy! Anxious for him to get home, so he can tell me all the details of his FIRST DAY ON THE JOB!


poor pictures, I was trying to be sneaky!

While traveling home from Rimbey yesterday..........

I was listening to the radio, and the title to a song caught my attention.

Don't forget to Remember Me~~~~By Carrie Underwood.

EVERYONE wants to be remembered! In my mind, EVERYONE deserves at least that!

This is a picture of my Dad. As the ole saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, and this one is worth that, and many more! Although I haven't had much time with him, I will always remember him, and be thankful for all that is good in my life that came to be through him.


It's a SUPERstore kind of day!

Well today is Daylan's 1st official day of work..........5:00 p.m. at the Camrose Superstore(garden centre). I have my camera ready, and in just a few hours I will be snapping pictures of him in his Superstore T-shirt, black pants, and black shoes(the dress code). I hope he won't be rolling his eyes to much(at me), but I just have to have a few pictures, it's kind of like your 1st day of school......................stay tuned!


UPDATED!!!! He's off to work!


He says........."I look like an idiot"! Dress code says, shirts must be tucked in...........this was totally foreign to him!


Last minute paper work!


Off he goes!

in my yard today.............



















One of the main reasons we bought this house was the yard..........I just LOVE IT!!!! We moved here mid summer 2005, so that summer was a right off in regards to enjoying the yard. Last Spring I had my surgery, and wasn't able to work very hard in the yard...................this Spring/Summer I am ready and LOVIN' IT!!!!!!

JOKE FOR THE DAY!

Girls around 40: Men, pay close attention!
In case you missed it on 60 minutes. This is for all girls around 40.AND for guys who are scared of girls over 40!!!!. This was written by AndyRooney from CBS 60 Minutes.


Andy Rooney says: As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 mostof all. Here are just a few reasons why........
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night toask,"What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a womanover 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining aboutit. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something moreinteresting.
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with youat the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if youdeserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can getaway with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know whatit's like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to awoman over 40.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier thanher younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if youare a jerk or if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonderwhere you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffedhot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool ofhimself with some 22-year-old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milkfor free". Here's an update for you: Nowadays 80% of women are againstmarriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.
