Ashley's Puppies

On April 28th, when we came home from work, we discovered Ashley had been a busy girl. She had given birth to 5 puppies so far, but one died. We weren't sure if she was done. The next morning, Brad checked on her and realized she had one more, but at lunch time, when Ashley got out of the doghouse, he realized she had actually had 2 more, so she gave birth to 7 puppies, and we ended up with 6. There are 5 black ones, and one the same color as Ashley. They look good and are really cute, we will try to take more pictures as they get a little bigger.

field trip

We had so much fun on Jordan's fieldtrip. We went to Hovenweep National Monument. It was purely an educational fieldtrip. We learned about the Indians that lived in that area 1000 years ago. The children got to have hands on experience with all the things they learned about. They taught them about building fires, using primitive tools, including grinding corn, and each child got to try that. They learned what they ate, and how they grew gardens. They also learned how they hunted and got to throw a spear off an adalade. We hiked down into the canyon, and had to go through 2 rocks that are like skinny man's cave on the red hill, but not quite as tight. (almost though). I am sure glad she invited me to go!!
