Catching up!!!!

Savannah's school play, 'Going Buggy'

Savannah and Mikayla

So Sweet!

Poor Trace. Yes, he has a broken leg here, but it has healed now. The vet was very impressed with how well we took care of the splint and him. He still favors the leg a bit, but it never slowed him down. (Though there were times I had really wished it would!)

Can you tell how much the dogs love Mikayla?

(Yes, the dogs have clothes on)

Kayla...Our future drummer and rock star!!!!!

Does Freya like Mikayla?

Um... yes! Most definatly!

At the park on a picnic with Kimi.

Kimi had taken a pic like this earlier and showed the girls. Mikayla liked it so much she needed to do it too!

Mikayla looking adorable and showing off her new hairstyle.

Savannah and her 2nd grade teacher, Ms. Szymanski.

Fun in the sun with Savannah, Mikayla, Natalie, and Emily!

My Trace boy! Isn't he so handsome?

Freya enjoying the sun and looking pretty!

(Freya)

The girls love those pups!

A trip to the monster truck show was fun, but VERY loud! I think the girls enjoyed it the most. Certainly more than I did!

Two cute girls with two cute dogs (in their new bandannas)

Freya loves Mikayla!

Just showing off a new hairstyle!

Cute, Huh!

Savannah with same style

Well, there you are! a short rundown of things that happened in May to the beginning of June (or maybe April to the beginning of June?!) I have to admit, it really isn't in order. it was supposed to be in most recent to earliest, but it didn't quite work. I also know I'm missing a lot of things (such as the zoo with Natalie, Mom and Kimi, and our Chicago trip). I'll get to them sooner or later!) Sorry!

NEW ARRIVAL!!!

There's a new member of the Stevens Family! A bouncing 3 1/2 pound little boy! Isn't he adorable? Here you can see him trying out his new bed before going into the house.

Check out those ears!!1

He managed to hold still for a couple seconds (after several tries where one or the other here kept looking away!)

Oh yeah, gotta get the ball!
(Best of both worlds- a squeaky ball!!!)

Not sure, but I don't believe he was run over!

Ok, he just stayed like this chewing his rawhide. Strange no?

Yum!
(He finally laid down)

Movin' on to another chew- gotta taste 'em all!

Cute, huh!?

This is MY bed!!

As you can see, this is our new puppy! He is a papillon, (don't you just love those ears?) and he is very sweet. We are so excited to have him join our family!

Yes he has a name. It's Shadow Puppet. But that is only the name his breeder gave him. We are in the process of finding a new name for him. Got any ideas? Grant doesn't seem to like mine. I just can't figure out what's so wrong with Mr. Fuzzypants. Do you?




(ok, yes- I am really just kidding about that name!)

Do you know these animals?

So! Here is where we went. Have fun looking around!

It's two babies. Not one. Two.
Watussi? What's a Watussi?


Watch where your pointing that flash!









Got anything good in here?




Ever heard of a Japanese sika?
Me either.


I'm waiting. . . .









ahh, it's a baby. Is he cute to you?






This is my park!
What long horns you have!

Looking waaaay up!

How kind of this lovely animal to pose so nicely for us!

This is MY park!

What a bunch of sleepy heads!

Trying to get the ladies attention...
'blackbuck style' !











I look so pretty!





I have blue eyes. Got it?


What a great bunch of girls!

Feed the goats?
Well. . . .
okay,
as long as they only eat the food!

Kimi may not like touching the goats, but it's clear they have no problems touching her!

Sipping soda together.
Aren't cousins great?

The rare Bongo. Did you know these are endangered?

teasing the ostrich
It's a good thing that there is a window between these two and the ostrich or they may have lost a few fingers or even a hand!

Feeeeeeed meeeeeeee

You can't go until I say so!

Well, if you can name all these animals without looking them up, I'll be very impressed! I'd tell you what they all are, but I can't seem to remember! But we had a great time!
