Sweet Pea...

Sooo...Anya and Dad went out to the ranch yesterday and as they were driving Anya saw this lil white thing standing on the side of the highway. They turned around and went back and found this little lamb still covered in afterbirth and blood standing by her dead mother, no other sheep in sight. Of course Anya couldn't just leave her there so we now have a new pet!! She is so adorable, all white after we gave her a bath this morning.


Anya's Birthday

Anyas birthday was on the 20th and Mom and I both had a holiday from school and work on the 19th so we drove down to Pasadena, met up with my cousin Kirsten and went to the beautiful Huntington Gardens. It was a gorgeous day and we walked around for hours admiring all the different themed gardens. After working up an appetite we had afternoon tea at the Chado Tea House. It was so much fun and the food/tea was delicious!!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

This holiday season was a whirlwind of travel for us. We had our family dinner tuesday night and then headed out to Wasco to spend Christmas Eve with my grandparents and uncle and cousin and from there headed over to the beach for Christmas Day with my moms side of the family. We drove back to Bako that night so Loren could work Friday and then I picked him up in Mojave and headed on to Vegas to celebrate with Lorens side of the family. It was an absolute blast all the way and enjoyed every minute we spent with everyone!!
