Party Time!

Posted by  | Published in Family Fun  

Today is my big birthday party…. and I woke up puking my guts out.  YEEEAAA!  By 1 o’clock I was feeling much better and Doug and I started preparing for the party.  Doug grilled his famous Peppers, and Tuna.  Lot’s of good friends came and it was a lot of fun.  Not having my tummy in normal state I was ready for bed at 10pm  So much for staying up for my real birthday!

Ocean Fishing

Posted by  | Published in Family Fun, Fishing  

Today was  a Beautiful day!!  The wind was calm, the sun was out, and the ocean was flat!  Doug’s buddy Ron came down to visit from The Dalles.  They decided it was the perfect opportunity to try for some ocean rock fish.  The bar was  a breeze to pass.  Doug was a little nervous, he’s never crossed the bar in the winter, but all went well.

Dad is at work still or I would have his picture in here.  He’s the rock in my storm and the peas in my carrots.  I’m just not sure where I would be without him!!!  I thank god for him every day.

Hay that photo of Nicolas is a clasic. Gee, do not get to attached to your future hambergers but I agree he is quite cute. I remember at Uncle Berts ranch trying to run the fat off of the steer we called baby face so that he would not become hamberger but it did not work. Good luck with your project and lots of love mom

A recap to yesterday

Posted by  | Published in Family Fun, Farm Life  

1-19-09-21-19-09-4Got up early to feed Nacho…. no such luck!!!  We did manage to get the bottle in his mouth this time, so that’s a start.  But all he cared about was spitting it out.  Guess the poor little gibber just isn’t hungry yet!

 

 

 

 

 

1-19-09-7Then found a mole in the mole trap.  Had to get that skinned!1-19-09-6

 

 

 

 

 

 

1-19-09-9

Then it was better get busy painting the front room.  1-19-09-8While I was painting Doug went out back to build the gate between our mini-farm and future vinyard.  We also managed to pressure wash the garage (day two of that long project), find some time for fishing, and have a nice peaceful dinner with friends.  We tried feeding Nacho again… still with no luck.  I’m hoping by tomorrow he’s good and hungry!

It’s a Boy!

Posted by  | Published in Family Fun, Farm Life  

We’ve been waiting for about a week to hear those words.  See, around here the boys don’t make it far.  If you can’t produce milk you just don’t make those dairy farmers any money.  Yep, I’m talking cows.

Meet Nacho!
