Here we are, walking along the ditch in Bernalillo.
Nich is getting his paint balling gear together.
Em loving her Daisy.
The audience
Let the war begin...!
One of Nich's gifts was a power drill - here he is looking very cool.
Homemade ice cream cake
Here is Nicholas in is committee on a field experience. They are downstairs near the mailroom, and outside the doors to the Senate and House Floors. 
We went to Santa Fe for a week, and Nicholas participated in something called TeenPact. It is a hands-on leadership and government class from a Christian world view. The pictures below show Daniel in bed (yes he got sick on the trip), Nicholas with friends during one of the Bible studies at night, and Daniel and Emily outside the Round House "playing with the other kids".
Here is Daisy and Tiger "getting along" the only way they know how - ignoring each other and Tiger being higher than Daisy.
It is only fair that Tiger gets his own picture on the blog as well....
Meet Daisy. She is with us on trial, but it is looking hopeful. She is a sweet Australian Shepherd - almost 4 years old - and she and Tiger are STARTING to tolerate each other.
I am being very humble to post this picture of Monty and me, as he, the muscle man, is obviously struggling to hold me up!
