Oh Man! What a Day!

Such a fun day!!! Dan & Dave got to go backstage with Gameday & meet the people and get cool free stuff. He also got to meet Chip, and I'm alittle jealous about that. I love Chip. So Dan & I got to go to the UO-Stanford game. It's becoming a bit of a tradition. Dan & I went to Stanford to the UO game when we were dating in 2004. Then we went to another UO-Stanford game at Autzen with Jordan Bair in 2008. And now this year too, with tickets we won no less-which makes it even sweeter. It was so exciting, lots of enthusiastic fans & noise. I had to put in makeshift earplugs though so I could enjoy it. A great comeback. Beautiful weather. It was a perfect night, a perfect day, a perfect weekend!

Win!

We won the Gameday signmaking contest at HomeDepot today. We have tried every time and always came in second place. So Dan gets to go backstage and have breakfast with the ESPN Gameday people and then we get tickets to go to the UO-Stanford game too. SO exciting!!!

August

Just a few pictures for August.

Moving the dirt, getting it done...

Juliet has been a very busy girl as you can see. After she learned to operate the bobcat she then proceeded to remove the HUGE pile of dirt that had been taking up our back yard, & make it all nice and level. Well, maybe she didn't do ALL of that. But she was a very willing helper. Whenever there is dirt involved, you can be sure she will be there to play in it.

....and AFTER!!! yippeee, there is a yard again!

Beautiful Summer

Having a grand summer so far. Been home with Juliet since the end of May & I LOVE it. She is such a sweet little spirit, I could spend every moment with her. I love her laugh. I love her naughty excited fleeing when she is doing something she knows she shouldn't and doesn't want me to get her. I love her helpfulness, with the dishwasher, with the laundry, with the animals, with my feminine supplies, lol. She can unload a drawer so fast, it's amazing. I love it when she lays her head on shoulder & snuggles. I love it when she goes around grabbing daddy's things & telling me they are daddy's. I love how she asks where daddy is all day long. I love how friendly and fearless she is. She will try most anything. I love my little girl.
