Happy Birthday

To Miss Erin

Yeah!   A New Swingset!

 Here is the Old Swing set,  that has been falling apart for a couple years,  I think it was held together with duck tape.

It didn't take much to get rid of it....Just a saws-All and some elbow grease.

 It was so much easier not to mention "headache free" to hire someone to put the new one together.

It only took them 2 and 1/2 hours from start to finish,  and they did a great job....I'm pretty sure it would have taken me all day and probably into  the next day!

Here is the New Swing set,   It is totally "Erin Approved"

Speckled Bird Egg

I was weeding the Garden, and found this bird egg.  I'm sure the Magpies missed it, when they were pulling nests out of the trees and raiding them.  I so wish I could get RID of the magpies.  They are the bullies of the yard and go after anything smaller than them.

A Bad or maybe Good Hair day!

 I asked Erin "What is going on with your hair today?"

 She told me "I brushed it"  "it's cute"

Got to Love a girl who can feel confidante about her hair choice for the day!

On the Job with Erin 

 Yes she is still doing her job of Shredding.  But now she reminds us about going and doing it.  She knows how to turn on the shredder and she knows where the stack of papers are in the cabinet behind her.  And she loves getting a ton of praise while she is working.  Just Love, Love, Love this cute girl!

 I love her casual office attire.  She has a very understanding boss about wearing hats at work.

Four Wheeling with The Ernests

 We were invited to go four wheeling to Jacob City.  It's up a canyon just east of Stockton.  I was told it was pretty flat and easy. My kind of 4 wheeling.  It turned into more of a "White Knuckle" Ride.  I think I got off 3 times,  and had my 4 wheeler brought down to a "Safer" spot.

 This is steeper than it looks.....And Yes someone went up and back down it.   Wasn't Me!  I'm not much of a risk taker.

 We came across this really cool old cabin.

 With a 'back to nature" toilet.  At least you could see whats coming.

 At the top we saw this bus,  no clue how it got there,  since some of the roads were no wider than my 4 wheeler

The view was awesome,  The scenery was beautiful the entire ride.  Would I go again on this "White Knuckle" ride?......Umm Maybe!

Visiting Aunt Nikki

 Shelly, Erin, and I  went to go visit Aunt Nikki.  Always Fun to see her,  she is doing really good.  She reminds me of my Mom.  We all agreed that we miss Mom very much.  We talked about how much she loved her grandkids,  and how she would have really enjoyed the great-grandkids.  She definitely  left this earth way to early.

Erin Loves their dog Shadow,  when we were getting ready to go,  Shadow went over and put her head in Erin's lap,  it was so cute.
