Tuesday night we had some of our favorite peeps spend the night here. Dave, Valli & little Madeline. This cute little family currently lives in Tennessee. Dave will be shipping out for another 1 year employment to Afghanistan in a few more months. We have known Dave and his family since he was just a boy. We loved having them here and had a great visit with them. Valli has a pretty facinating background and from the minute Mark heard her say her grandparents & parents both homesteaded in Alaksa . . .well that was all he needed for a long interigation session. Poor Valli, she hardly got a bite of her dinner down her. (at least while it was still warm!) Valli very graciously shared some really facinating stories of her childhood and what it was like to live with no indoor plumbing - a dog that chewed up electrical wiring to their home - and some pretty crazy bear stories! We love to visit with people! Thanks D,V & M for being such fun and gracious guests. They are also fellow bee-keepers and we had a little honey exchange! How sweet it is to have such wonderful friends. We wish them both luck and blessings as they journey through their next year united, yet apart. Love you!!

The next morning after snapping some cute pics of the bright eyed beauty ~ baby Madeline - Dave, Valli, & I were watching a little flock of Pheasants out the window. We saw a few deer and were commenting on what a great place this is! As we glanced over to the neighbors yard we could hardly believe what we saw! Two bucks having a little sparing competition! Whoa! Never seen that in your yard before. Of course I was off scrambling for the camera and our new little Flip and actually we caught a glimpse of it. I wanted to see how easy it was to upload video ~ it was VERY easy and you can see a little snip of what we witnessed below. The funniest thing to me was that Dave just happened to have his turkey caller and his deer caller in his bag out in the car. So off he went to grab them and I was totally entertained by how they work. I think we could have us some fun if we were to have a few animal callers of our own! You know, there are some wild turkeys running around Logan these days...and who knows what might happen!

Ok so kinda lame-o. You can't click on these to make them larger.
What's that all about.
In this last one, watch for the third one

Cute pictures of the little family and I love the layout of your blog. Can you make me a new one?
Wow Leisa! You guys have a wildlife refuge there, don't you? I love your photography! Gorgeous!
Aww Yes, Valli is a wonder. Growing up in the bush was pretty crazy. Thanks for posting pics and videos. Laci (Valli's sis)
