Tank is a 15 year old "crowd control" gelding. He put his silly hoof in the cattle guard 20 minutes after coming into the paddock.

Wimpe (we need to change the name, as this mare is anything but), is a 20 year old registered quarter horse. She's a beauty.

MikMik with the twins on Christmas Day

This is one Grandmother that is still beaming. What a Christmas Present. We'll never be able to top this one. It was so special!

Caroline & Brody on Christmas

Bless their hearts. All they wanted to do was sleep, but nooooo.... we had to take their pictures over and over and over. I love Brody's eye and that look on his face. It's like, "okay, I don't care who you are, stop it!"

Molly and her Pom Christmas Present

Can you believe this little guy? Still unnamed Pomeranian puppy. 8 weeks old. Mikki knew what Molly and Jonathan both would love. Another dog. Poor Rio.

Granny and her new Pom Christmas Present

Granny and Millard have been talking about getting a new puppy to transition for Rowdy. Ole Rowdy is probably going to outlive all of them. This little guy is beautiful.

Kevin's done wonderfully in the Airforce. We are so proud of him. The language school at Monterrey has been good for him.

Brody and Caroline are home!

The pictures I'm posting for some reason show them sleeping all the time:-) In actuality, Brody is the sleeper and Caroline is the inquisitive one so far. She is typically not asleep. I'm just not around when she's awake.

She has a familiar Walters nose and my squinty eyes. But really, she looks like Amber's baby pictures.

MikMik and Brody for the first time!

Mikki was beaming when I walked in for my first look. She got to go into delivery with Amber and Bryan and video for them. She also got to carry Brody to the visitation suite and Bryan carried Caroline.

Molly was in awe along with the rest of us.

Caroline Grace and Brody Justice Saintes

Caroline definitely looks like a Walters and Brody a Saintes. But, they'll change tomorrow! She looks allot like a photo of Amber at birth that Mikki gave me tonight.

Amber & Molly at the Christmas Banquet

Amber at 37 weeks with Caroline and Brody.... Her proud sis.

Having fun at Amber's expense


The family acting crazy

Amber at the Christmas Banquet at about 37 weeks. Bryan couldn't be there and we wanted a family photo taken, so we decided somehow to touch the new family members. Weird.
