My St. Patricks Day Birthday

We all went out to corned beef and cabbage dinner, had loads of fun and laughs! Here's a picture Ashley took, she forgot the camera for dinner:)

Scott's 20 yard steel target 20 point shot

This is only a 20 yard shot, what make's it hard is that it is a steel target and if you miss you break your arrow , the large hole is 10 points, the small hole is 20 points, you hit the steel it's zero points. Scott hit it dead on. Congrats babe.

Shadow

My last pug puppy. I gave him to my parents right after Dusty passed away, he is a loving doll, just like his mom. He's was smaller when mom got him last May. She calls him Shadow because he follows people around...

HAPPY ANIVERSARY GMA & GPA

OH WHAT A YEAR!!

Well, 2008 was one heck of a ride for us. We bought a new place 15 miles Yakima so Ashley could stay home and go to college at the same time. After we got all moved in it was time to go Elk scouting, what fun! We had a jeep grand cherokee we used just for this. Well my husband accidently rolled us off the road into a waterfall ravine that goes to the Tieton river , we came to a stop upside down and in the waterfall! We have U.S.Cell, but the coverage where we were was spotty at best. As we climb out my broken window, (that was the only way out, and thank God wasn't too smashed in) I was hoping that we had service up on the road, we needed help ASAP. As it turned out we had service in that spot, but if we moved 2 yards away we did not. I called Mom to let her know what happened so she wouldn't freak when she found out I had to go to the hospital. I called Ashley, because she new exactly where we had our game cams at and told her what happened and to clean out the car and come up to help us. Then I called for help. It took to big tow, tow trucks to get the jeep up and out of the hole, we were asked several times by several people, how did you people get out? God, that's how! My husbands birthday was the next day and I had planned a surprise birthday party for him a month before, and now i was on the way to the hospital. They kept me for 5 hours, then let me go. I have 5 nice goose eggs on my head. I called everyone and asked for help with the party, and had to tell my husband about it, because now I needed his help too. I became a Grandmother for the second time this year on Oct. 15 with another Grandson, also named Joshua. I lost alot of wieght during all of this and had to have extensive blood work done. Everything but my liver was 100% perfect. My liver is 1 point high due to rapid weight loss, and is leveling out, so back in 6 months for another blood test to make sure it is ok. We got a new durango, since we totaled our jeep and traded in our 5th. wheel for a travel trailer for hunting. And now here we are in 2009:)
