April 24th... Our sweet Avery is spending a few days in the
hospital. With her new friend 'Genevive, Avery is all smiles!

Grandpa Roy and Jenna are so proud of their 'Angel Avery!'
She is being a wonderful patient for all of her doctors~

Avery is certainly looking forward to going home! On Thursday, she had surgery, to remove the 'regulatory box' and wiring, from her chest and neck. Unfortunately, this area, previously operated upon, had become infected. It will be 4 to 6 months before a new 'magic box' can be implanted again, if needed. Dear family members, please keep our sweet Avery in your thoughts and prayers. Our wonderful Kate, has been at her daughter's side, 24/7~

Syd picked his favorite color horse to take him for
a great ride on the Santa Monica Pier Carousel!

Jake was a bit 'leery' to ride his horse. With Mom at his
side however, he did give the Carousel ride a whirl!

Inside the dragon's mouth. Don't let it eat us!

An afternoon at the beach... Jake 'sneaking up' on a pigeon.

'Oh... I am too tired to smile!' said Syd. Walking the SM pier
and seeing the sights can really take it out of a little guy!

Next stop... Hot Dog On A Stick, for a cool lemonade!

Speed Racer Jake! Winner by a car length!!

This week we have added a few photos from our Easter weekend at Ron's ranch. We enjoyed an extra special time, with Uncle Kenny and his family and with the fabulous Madison and P'nut Stephenson, their folks, Chris and Jan, our favorite Craig and of course, Ron and Mike! The weekend weather took a broad 'range or change'... Sun, a little overcast, cloudy, rain and stiff winds. Fortunately, the heaviest rain came on Sunday evening. By then, everyone was tucked away, safe and sound in their trailers, or up at Mike's house. We never let the changing weather slow us down, however! It was a great weekend. Grandpa and I offically celebrated our 29th. wedding anniversary on Easter Sunday, April 4th! We wish all of you could have been there. The ranch and hillsides and meadows are especially beautiful in the Spring~ 'A picture is worth a thousand words!'

Springtime at the Ranch!
