Children...

I may not be blessed with two-legged, blonde, well behaved human children.... I am however, blesssed with a four-legged, furry child named Sophie. Whom I am grateful to have in my life... most of the time. :)

Happy 4th!!!

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy 4th of July!!! As I was looking at some of my pics last night... I found a few of the ranch last year at this time. It's amazing the devastation a "few" fireworks can do...

Yesterday I went shopping and hit some smoking sales. Aunt Joann Anderson invited Sophie and me over for dinner. Jon and April were also there. It's always fun to see them! We didn't go to any fireworks... we watch them on the television. I know.. it sounds lame. The 4th here is NOT as much fun as it is in Idaho. "There's No Place Like HOME"!!!! sniff-sniff :)

Can you believe fireworks did all this??? This is one 4th of July I won't forget. We were very blessed that we were able to stop the fire from "jumping" the road and continuing up the canyon. We had so many friends and family that helped us. We especially couldn't have done it without Kristen's (Jon's wife) family. I can't tell you how scary it was.

Ace Edmunds

On my way back to AZ, I stopped by to see one of my best friends from college. It was so fun to see Steph and her adorable little guy, Ace. Isn't he just the cutest?!?!!

I wish we lived closer... I really miss her! Steph is so fun! I can honestly say there is NEVER a dull moment when she is around. :)



Her zest for life is so contagious... you can't help but smile!
I also stopped and saw her parents, Carson and Jim. They are the nicest people! I have so many fun memories with them. Huntsville hasn't changed too much. It's still beautiful and peaceful... reminds me of home.
