Angry.

Day 44

Here's Tyler's birthday cake!  YUM!

I know most of you have seen it but for the few that are not my friends on Facebook or those who view from another country.

Hack hack cough choke.

Day 43

This was the view from the intersection just outside the estate gate this morning.

Since the dry season has started and it's gotten soooo cold, the dust and the smoke have just settled in.  Not good for Tyler's allergies!

Fun with the Spider.

Day 41

To continue from yesterday, Doug decided to go all Bear Grylls on us.

He didn't really eat it.

Posin'.

Day 42

Here is Clayton posing with a statue.

Just thought it was funny.

Technical Difficulties

Day 40

I had, what we'll call, "technical difficulties."

Anyhoo, here you go.

We had some friends over on Saturday night for a Meat Feast!  Smoked ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and kudu.  YUM!

Sunday morning Doug was cleaning up and he opened the doors under the counter out back and look at what he found!

Don't worry, he's ONLY about as big around as a coffee mug, and he's DEAD!  Doug about we himself when he opened the cabinet.  He was all reared up and looked like he was going to jump out and get 'em.

Family Photo Op

Day 39

A lot of folks really liked this almost family photo.

Tyler, Stephanie, & Doug

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Day 38

Today my oldest child turns 14! I think that is a little more shocking then 13. Maybe its the fact that he starts high school in August.

Tyler celebrated by hanging out with his buddies and playing xbox. He requested enchiladas for dinner. Yum!

Happy Birthday my BIG boy!

This was the "serious" picture! What a mixed bunch of kiddos!

Monkey Business

Day 37

I am so used to being on the other side of the camera I often forget to have my picture taken!

I am a little camera shy.  Only because I am the one that gets caught with a goofy look on my face or my mouth open while chewing or the one person who is looking extremely bored.  That's just my luck!
So here's a picture with a not so goofy look.  Maybe you can focus on the adorable monkey?

We took the family to the Bushbabies Monkey Sanctuary back in December.  We had such a good time!

Baby faces.

Day 36

To go with my post from yesterday, here are some of Clayton's beloved friends from our time in Hastings.  WOW!  How our kids have grown!

Don't you just luv their baby faces?

Remember when?

Day 35

These are the wonderful ladies who grew to be some of my closest friends when we were in Hastings.  Gosh how time flies!  Seems like it was just yesterday.
