These are the latest cards from this month's card swap. I really enjoy participating in this group. June's theme was "thank you cards" and it came in very handy with Ryan's graduation and his 18th birthday this month.

Foster Kittens






These are our newest foster kittens. We are having a LOT of fun now that they aren't so labor intensive. They were one week old when we got them, and had to be bottle-fed.

Ryan's Graduation






It's hard to believe Ryan has graduated from High School and will be 18 soon. His graduation was very memorable. Ron, Gloria and Carole Snyder came, as well as Debbie Dean and Sue Orchard. Ryan wanted taco salad and oriental chicken salad, and a chocolate Costco cake for dessert. The afternoon was lovely, we ate outside and had a nice time visiting. Later we walked over to the school for the OUTDOOR commencement exercises. Dark, ominous clouds rolled in. Flashes of lightening filled the sky. The wind started blowing, and rain started falling as the seniors walked in. It rained and the wind gusted during the ENTIRE program. Did the adults shorten their talks? NO! Where were we sitting during the lightening? METAL BLEACHERS! The speeches the graduates gave were outstanding, and it was a very happy/sad moment for me when Ryan received his diploma. He plans on attending BYU-Idaho starting in January on a full tuition scholarship for his freshman year. We are very excited for him!

Newest Foster Kittens!





These are out latest foster kittens-we've had them for a few weeks, and they are now 6 weeks old. When we first got them at 1 week we had to bottle-feed them. Now they are much easier to take care of (eating crunchies, using litter box_ and they are VERY playful and cute!
