We are having lots of fun (along with a little work). Bet you can't guess why. If we neglect this blog a little bit at least you will know the reason. See ya later!

Dinner Dates: Part Three

Actually, this was a lunch date and we held it at our house . . .

Mom's first cousins (Her dad's sister's children) were passing through our area and decided to stop and eat with us.Of course, we all had loads of fun. (We say that every time we know, but we mean it more and more! Sometimes, fun is the only word to describe some things)

Dinner Dates: Part Two

This dinner date was fabulous and our host and hostess were so much fun.

Thank you guys for giving such a nice barbecue!

Clark and Host
Did we mention?

That we caught a baby deer?

There was a mommy and two baby deer living in their backyard. They decided to leave about the same time we were in the backyard.
We caught both the baby deer (They were so little and were just learning walk) and after everyone got to see them, our host took them back to their mommy.

Cacey

Friends are fun and encouraging to talk to. . .

Clark's famous white spot

Their pet deer. . .

Yeah it fooled us too. . . Actually this is their pet. His name is Moses.



In their comfy house. . .

It get's cold at night-time in California (even in the Sumertime). . . Our hostess kept a pile of blankets so we could cuddle up and be comfy when it got dark. . .

Their cool exercise machine...It's a great way to work off your meal! (especially if you ate too much)

Just kidding. . .
