Jon, Jess,
Nettie, and I had a tea party (actually, the girls had a tea party, Jon
and I ignored the girls while they had their tea party). I guess
that the tea party was to celebrate the birthdays of Megan, Geneva,
Gracie, and Kayla. Here are a bunch of kids, sitting on the couch,
waiting for the tea party to commence. |
|
Here is
Gracie. As you can see, she is very excited for the tea party to begin.
|
|
ME! This is
ME! I took this picture myself (using my brother's camera, of course). |
|
OK. Here it
is, the big tea party.
|

Kayla is
closing her eyes for us. |

The tea
party spread. |
|
Here is
Mooms-Chucka, all dolled up for the big tea party. |
|
Heather
(Jessica's cousin), with JT. |
|
Here is
Genny-Enny-Dots, getting all made up for the big tea party.

Here is
Mudge, ready for the tea party. |
|
We went up
to
the ranch for four days the 6/3 - 6/7. This and the next 16 or so
pictures are from that trip. This one is from a hike. This is west of
our property a ways (the road you see goes next to our lot). |
|
I took this
picture because you can see almost all of our lot (except the bottom of
the valley), just over the hill top. |
|
On a hike
again. |
|
Like the
picture a few back, this is just a view of our lot. |
|
The older
girls and I on a hike to what they call the "multi-colored mountain". |
|
I thought
this
was a good view of part of the large valley near our lot. The
"multi-colored mountain" is in there too. |
|
Roo is
a-shootin'! |
|
Roo
"bustin'
some caps". |
|
And she
even
hit what she was aiming at (from about 20 feet). Not bad! |
|
Always the
kids are digging holes! |
|
Playing
horseshoes in the newly constructed horseshoe pit. |
|
Another
game
of horseshoes. |
|
Playing Uno
and eating popcorn in the tin shed. |
|
This needs
some explaining. My neighbors had their plots incorrectly surveyed,
with the result being that the "caps" (also called "pins", here
pictured) have the incorrect numbers on them. This means that they
don't really own the property that they have purchased! This is a bad
thing... That whole end of the quarter (square mile) in which my plot
lies will have to be resurveyed. I took a picture of my two pins, just
to have a record (I am lot 183, and my numbers are correct). |
|
My other
pin,
at another corner of my plot. |
|
Genny just
lost a front tooth. |
|
Nettie put
Genny's hair in a buun, then took this picture of it. |
|
Here is Roo.
|
|
Here are
Roo's teeth. Notice the missing teeth (I think that was the point of
this picture). |
|
Genny-Enny-Dots,
with her hair all done up. |
|
Another
picture of Mudge's hair. |
|
I think I
get the idea. |
|
OK. This is
the last picture of Genny's hair. |
