Christmas 2011 violin Vivaldi Four Seasons Spring

Ok, I was nervous and I sound horrible!!! But at least I tried to play again!

Poor Frankenstein Rusty

Last Wed I took Rusty to the vet because he had a lump on his back that was bleeding.  We assumed it was a cyst because he's had those before.  Well, turned out to be cancer and within an hour of me getting there Rusty was admitted in for surgury.  The scar is HUGE and they had to take out a lot of tissue.  There's even two more layers of stitches below the skin!  He's been such a great sport and it hasn't slowed him down too much, even though we've tried to make him take it easy.  We're having the tumor biopsied and we'll know how serious it is in a few days.  Not sure how much for sickness I can take!  First my Daddy, now this! We love you, Rusty, hope you're feeling better!

Our pretty yard!

My peonies are in bloom!  This is my favorite week of the year and then they're gone.

Here's my little garden, I've got peas, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, giant pumpkins, zucchinni, yellow squash, and butternut squash. 

                                                             Here's the back patio all done!!! I LOVE IT!

Orange Belt Test

Isaak passed the test to get his orange stripe belt. Way to go, buddy!  Here's some memorable moments from his test.

May 2012

I can't believe that May is already halfway over!  So many things have been happening.  We've been getting ready for Summer and building a patio in our backyard. (pictures soon!)  We went to Supercross the beginning of May, I went to Missouri with Spencer and Jared just this last week, we found out that my Dad has melenoma in his right eye, (the same one he lost most of his vision in) and he started radiation today.  We're hoping he only needs one treatment and that should take care of it.  Here's a few pictures of our recent adventures!

Here's the best buddies in our circle.  Ethan Whiteman, Isaak, Arianna Whiteman, Montana Cvikovitch, and Lila!  They all love riding their bikes in the circle together and are together almost every day.

Here's a couple photos of us at Supercross.  I love that our kids get to come with us for the practices.  But for the real race it's just me and my honey!

And here's some pictures of our Missouri trip.  We were only there for 5 days so we mostly hung around the house together.  We did take a trip to Jamesport, went to Kansas City for some all you can eat sea food, and had a fun camp fire with yummy kobobs.  Other than that we sat in the hammocks and enjoyed the awesome weather.

Yes, Isaak is super sad in this picture.  He dropped an apple and one of the chickens stole it before he could save it. 

We love the trampoline and the swing!

These kids crack me up.  Here we are on our walk, I think they got a little hot!

Here's the hammock setup!

                                                                   Here's Angela doing a Spencer grin. 

It's so weird to think that Jared is getting married next month!
