Ceaser, Bil's first baby....

Ceaser
In loving Memory
June 6, 1995-July 2, 2010

C for companion
E  for easy going
A for adorable
S  for soft
E  for endless love
R  for reliable friend


What a part of our lives Ceaser was.  Always willing to meet us at the door to welcome us home.  Right there every morning for a drink of water from the bathroom sink.  Enjoying story time in the evenings with Summer, he'd jump onto her bed and cuddle right us to us.  Most often knew when Mason was headed to the 'head' for long rest, Ceaser would rub against Mason's feet and legs for some Mason love. 

Now his favorite spot on Summer's stool in the kitchen is lonely and empty.  We miss our welcome home greeting.  I'd say we even miss the messes he'd make that we'd have to tend to....water overflow at his water bowl, little paw prints throughout the kitchen and laundry room.  Although gone from this earth, never gone from our hearts.  XOXO to you Ceaser!

Our New 4th of July Tradition

The Big Girls....
....the little girls.
Although John had to work, he was a trouper, took a lovely nap in the lovely, cozy, beds with their soft, fluffly comforter and pillows....heavenly!  Actually, those cozy beds I'm recalling were at Ventana Resort last weekend, oh they are wonderful! 
Wyatt was so cute, he had no problem holding his own.  Everytime we turned around he was gone.  Completely independant, what a swimmer he has become. 
Can you say Adorable Buddies!
Those smiles say it all, great weekend with great friends for some great fun! 

The beginning of Independance Day Weekend!

Thanks to Linda she found us a Bil Deal for 4th this year.  We headed to Sheraton's Wildhorse Resort and Spa for the weekend.  The Cooks joined us on the second day, the best part of the experience is I think we've found ourselves a great new tradition.  So many fun things to do...boat ride, Rawhide, pool, water slide, kid activites, fireworks and live music.   

Silly Dads as we are headed to dinner....Linda's dish was delicious!  My mouth waters when I think of it. 
Cute kids, the big kids are showing their age with cool shades!
We are waiting for the boat to take us to Rawhide, a fun western place like Trail Dust Town.
On the boat.  It was a fun ride, especially if you were lucky enough to get the entertaining boat driver.  The cool guy had all of these great song, he'd jam out getting the boat rocking and everyone singing.  While he did music trivia, our old Dads did pretty well.   

Look she can rope a steer...

.....and, he can rope himself.

You can only imagine how excited Mason was to get his hands those guns!
