4 weeks old!

We certainly haven't slowed down and the pups haven't either!  The are walking very well, starting to run, barking, growling and playing with each other.  This is probably my favorite stage!  Our cousins spent 4 nights with us over Memorial Day and the pups got some extra attention and snuggles.  
WARNING: This post is picture OVERLOAD! :)




 Above: Monday and Tuesday night Luke got to spend the night at Camp Tamarack in Sisters with his class. He had a blast!
Below:  We have puppy food eaters!  The are doing great with the food and as of yesterday I don't mush it up, just serve it soaked- making progress!

 Above and below: Calisee and I get to occasionally watch my friends two kiddos. 
The girls are 6 months apart and have a great time together.

 Above: My momma LOVES barrel racing.  Calisee and I went to watch her a couple weekends ago.  My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer almost 30 years ago.  Today the doctor decided that the meds she was using just weren't quite enough so she will start chemo next week.  Praying it works quickly and without harsh side effects.
 Above:  I had a big accident while cleaning the horse stalls.  I was running with a full wheel barrel and flipped it and my self.  I was bruised and bleeding every where but am now almost healed. 
I will NOT be running with the wheel barrel any more :) 
 Above and below:  Some of the around 25 horses my neighbors own and train for barrel racing that I clean stalls for.

We can't wait to get it set up and start playing! 
Below: I have a trial plot of berry plants called Haskap's. It comes from Japan and my trial is through a lady out of Corvalis and OSU.  I have 60 plants that are thriving in Central Oregon. Calisee loves to play in the dirt while I garden in my field.  
The berries are almost ripened! If you want to come pick let me know :)

 Above: My new vases I just started making!
Below: Friday we went to an all 5th Grade, 7 different school track meet.  The kids all had a blast! Luke did the discus, 100 meter and relay race.  

 Above and below: We met up with multiple cousins and some friends at the Tumalo food trucks Saturday.  Very fun place with great food and outside games. 
Above: Luke, Richie and Calisee. Below: Dylan and I.

 After the food trucks we all came back to our house for puppy snuggles, rock chuck hunting, dinner and a bon fire!
