We are adding another pet to our home. Here she is. She's a week early but very healthy. The mommy had only 2 puppies. Yorkie's usually have 2-4. So in 8 weeks we'll be bringing her home. I'm open to suggestions on names.

Even Belle was excited to see Ryan. She just couldn't get enough of him.

Welcome Home Ryan. October 2nd. Ryan came home for his 30 day leave from Afghanistan. He returned to the states in Early September. He came home to quite the welcoming. We were able to have the Veterans of America represented and the high school he graduated from Senior High, was the their drum line. We also had KULR 8 news and The Billings Gazette. He also received an electric guitar from Hanson Music. We were so impressed and thankful for all these organizations. KULR 8 was too and so they turned his welcome home more into a feature and had a second interview at home and was also on the sunday 4pm and 10pm news. He was featured a couple more times the next few days and also in The Gazette Paper and a video on the papers website. We are so glad to have Ryan home safe and sound. He'll be home in North Carolina at least for another year before he is deployed again.

I made this cake for one of David's baby shower. His room is turtles and frogs. I love making these cakes for my grandkids. I get to do their baby shower and 1st birthdays. I also make their cakes when I'm able to attend. So far no disappointments. And it's lots of fun. We (Samantha and I) found a picture and cut the cake in that shape. I think it turned out pretty good for an amateur.

Our First Visit w/ David

It was a whirlwind when we found out that Samantha & Aaron were going to adopt. Only a week and they have a beautiful baby boy. I went to Texas for a couple of weeks and Mark joined me towards the end. I was even able to give him a bath. We are so glad to have this little bundle of joy to family fold. David makes him our 5th grand child. Leaving was so hard. I hate that the grand-babies are so far away. Look forward to future visits and video chats.
