Scout Camp 2011

This year the boys went up in the Sierras
where Hwy 20 takes off from I80.

Matthew & Tony

Tony was on the Fernley Babe Ruth Prep. His Jersey number continued the family tradition of #2. Traveled to Reno, Golden Valley, Truckee, Carson City.

The Duce is up to bat!

Mary had a little lamb

Actually there is no Mary here and we had two. The first was born on Tony's birthday and is named Pyramid and the other was born August 19th and is named Tahoe.

Sam's favorite sleeps!

These are for Christine.

The horses are well, We are hoping for fruit this year,The sheep are fine in their new pen. Ma Goose leading the others around the orchard. Mom's snowball bush. The rooster taking part of his harem for a stroll. Snowball keeping watch and our newest truck.

Newest additions

We decided to get into the sheep business in order to revamp our pastures. (of course we found out later TCID is not sending water until July. May not be a pasture to save by then.)

The top photo has Utoo in front, with McKenzie behind her and Balli in the rear.
Next photo is McKenzie and Balli. McKenzie is the shyest and I could not get her alone.








This next shot is Utoo.
















The last two are Balli. I wanted a ram with white markings to distinguish our Desert Sierra bred Soays.

This years Christmas tree !

We found the perfect Cedar after searching for a couple hours.
The lumberjacks posed with their catch.
Tony made snow faces on the trees
while Jeff went for the truck.

Halloween 2010

It was still warm when Halloween came around this year. The leaves were just starting to change. Our garden provided us with two pumpkins this year that Tony had fun carving into jack o lanterns.

Oct 2010

Oct 2nd














we went back to Big Trees with some friends from our ward. It would be the last time we traveled in 2010 as Jeff's back injury from 2001 paid a return visit.



It's a good thing we had Tony along to hold up the tree!
