This is our Lawn Gnome…Sara the 11 yr old cat.  She sits for hours “decorating” not much else!

Joshua is in 4-H Shooting sports.. 22 gun. Today was his “Fair Competition”  He shot really well and got a Blue ribbon for his scores.. But I think the best part for him was the shooting….the smile says it all!

If you look close, you can see this little orange string plastic thing they have to keep in thier gun to show that it is not loaded.. I love safety!

Amazing at what man can think of to create!

The Blue part is not about the water, but about the boys!  we just set up and filled ( all day!) the pool… and they could not wait to get in…. Did I mention it was freezing cold?

So blue lips and all… they went for it….. for just a few minutes!

Go Ahead....

ok, let me clarify.  A Family who the Dad, is an excellent guitar teacher, moved to Japan last month for missions.  Alyssa has been taking lessons from him at their home, before they left he let us know that they could continue. Ah…Japan is a little far to commute each Tuesday!

Well with the benefit of technology she is taking lessons via skype and a web cam. How cool. I am not allowed in the area while she is taking the lessons.. but I snuck in an snapped this photo.

Tuning the Guitar, can you see her teacher!

On another note these is a great family and more info can be found here!
