Lulah Belle looks on as Makai and his friend enjoy the woods. She is quite the protector and loves "her" kids very much.

Franti

This is John , Jen, Kyle, Kalona and I at the Britt. We saw Michael Franti and Spearhead. It was a great show and a perfect southern Oregon night for it.

Makai and John went fishing and caught 8 trout and 2 bass. They had a lot of fun.

Maya loses her first tooth!

This is Maya being silly. She loves to dress up and play "cool princess."

This is Maya's T-Ball pic for 2008. This was her first year of baseball and she had a really good time. She played first base and did really well. She did get busted for talking to boys on the other team too often.

This is Makai's baseball picture for this year, 2008. This was his last year of coach-pitch and he really enjoyed it. All his friends had been moved up to minors this year because they are all older but he had a good time anyway. He did really well and was a positive influence on all the younger players.

This is the Auntie Tirzah and Auntie Ko-Ko at our Thanksgiving/Mini-Christmas of 2007. It's kind of a funny video.

Maya plays in the snow December of 2007. We had quite a lot of snow last winter.

Maya and I at the 2007 Evans Valley Soc-Hop. We have a lot of fun dancing. I made the outfits so don't look too close.

Lulah Belle the English Mastiff and Ziggy the Chi-Poo. BFF!

This is Maya at five years old. Her dream is to be in a girl band.

Makai played coach-pitch baseball last spring. This is him and his best friend Johny in 2007.

The beautiful Maya Ruby. When I took this picture she was looking out the window on a winter morning. She turned to me and gave me one of her lovely smiles.
