Blonde Antelope

Somedays life just hits you hard!!!

Do I have to?
A creek named after me.Rain and more rain!!! At least it keeps the dust down.
This is what you do on the side of the road while waiting for the tow truck to come. Eat watermelon, have a watermelon toss and rock throwing contest.
Jeep, no power!! We all waited for two hours. Good thing to have towing insurance.

Mom is dinner ready? No Kallee, remember you are the camp cook!!
How many rain clouds dad 1 or 2?
don't ask me to chop any more wood.
Dinner

NOw this is good food!!

Northslopegang Final pictures...

Blake enjoyed his time reading books around the campfire. Duncan helped by chopping wood. Santa please bring a new chain saw for Fred. Little K and her friend Mr. M. He was a lot of fun and brought his own 4-wheeler.

WELL!!!

Having a new puppy is like potty training a two year old again!! That is the down side of this puppy adventure. Fred is so whooped(sp) that you really can't say anything and Limi is so attached to him. Fred is like a 5 year old. He runs around the yard and the dog is chasing him. He stops and they play and play. However tonight Puppy is stinky and so she got her first bath. Fred says she still stinks so I guess we'll bathe her tomorrow. Need to get rid of two cats and their droppings because if Limi is loose she goes for the gold...yuck!! sorry if that was so disgusting but it's true. Oh well that is some of the happenings of the first week with Limi.

Miss Limerick C

Introducing the newest member of the family. This is Miss Limerick C or Limi. She is named after a city in Ireland that Fred served in while on a LDS mission. She is very smart and a little sweetheart. We are getting used to her and puppy training. As you can tell she is bonded to Fred. She is adorable and loves her doggy bed. She has lungs too!! If you have great tips on puppy training we would welcome the input. Thank you Paul and Kerry for your generosity.

Northslopegang Part Two

Dusty tired feet
outdoor refrigeration

The area that we go camping is breathtaking and the streams are very functional as you can see.
Tarp City II and protection from the rain and hail storm. Josh it would help to put the top on the jeep next time.

Photography practice 101

I was experimenting with the camera and found that flowers are fun to take pictures of. I hope that I don't bore you too much with the photos. The northslope was very green and beautiful this year and many types of wildflowers were in bloom. Enjoy and remember to stop once in awhile and enjoy all the beautiful surroundings we are blessed to have around us.

Camping with the Northslopegang part 1

Dad we want to go camping. How long has it been since we went to the northslope? Too long says the mother. The 4-wheeler is broken, should we rent one? No, says the Dad it costs too much. Dad tells us that his co-worker has offered to let us use theirs. Nice co-worker. The northslope gang packs up the 4-wheelers, camping gear and heads out on Thursday to enjoy a weekend together. Our favorite spot is available and we begin to set up camp. No trailer this time. Grab the tents. Dad, please take the porta potty. Dad consents and the women have some luxury in the mountains. Dad it looks like it might rain. Gather the tarps family, we need some protection from the weather. Dad I think we need protection from Duncan. He is flashing his stomach. Blake, pose for posterity. Mom put the camera away. But Blake the light is perfect for pictures. Mom we are sick and tired of you always telling us that the lighting is perfect for a picture. Mom gets her way and click goes the camera button.

Goofus

My kids are doing what?

Don't bug me this is the best part of the book. Little K and the rest of the world are all engrossed in reading a book in the Twilight Series. Mama C hasn't even started them. Maybe when the kids are done I'll get a turn. Yeah this book isn't just for chicks. I read them too!! No chores, no nothing cause I'm reading till I'm done!! So close that door and quit taking my picture, I've got a book to finish!!
