Curtis' Dog Project

Curtis made agility weave poles for Darcy and I to practice with. He went to class one week with us and took pictures of the equipment and next thing I knew he was making them. What a great guy! Now Darcy will be a champion. He also made a jump for her. What fun!

Off to Work!

Briana has started a job today in Livermore, actually she started yesterday with orientation. She is working for Senior Solutions taking care of seniors in a care facility place. She also may go to people's homes to work. She won't be home until Saturday as it is a live in type job. She will be working at the home M-F of next week too. After that she doesn't know where they will put her. It could be a live in situation or just day visits.
She is off. Isn't she cute in her scrubs!

Darcy's Agility Class

Darcy is taking a Agility class. Above she is learning to do the weave poles. At first she had no idea what I wanted her to do, but by the third time she understood. It was amazing to watch the dogs as they understood what was expected of them.
She has no problem with jumping. Next to the tunnel this is her favorite.

She zoomed over the A-frame. I had a time keeping up with her. The problem comes at the bottom. She is supposed to do a stick it, which is when the back feet stay on and the front feet are off. It is a little hard to stop that suddenly but she did pretty good. Below is a video of her going over the A-Frame.

Visit with Gustavo Jr. and family

Lucy, Briana, and Curtis have been visiting Gustavo Jr., Trisha and Gustavo. There is nothing like holding your 5 day old grandson! He is so cute.

Despite the caesarian surgery, Trisha is doing well.

Little Gustavo looks especially small in his Father's hands.

Little Gustavo (Gustavo Jr. or Tavo or Tavito or Goose and maybe others) spends little time in the day in his crib. He is passed from one pair of eager arms to another.
Here is a very happy Grandma ...
... and here is a tired Granddad.

Isaac comes home!

Great Grandma was very happy to meet baby Isaac.
The dogs weren't too sure about him though.



This was taken while he was still in the hospital. He is not even 24 hours old yet.

Scottish Games

Curtis went to the Scottish Games and met Briana and Rob there. This picture is of course for Lucy. Curtis threatened to bring home one of these English wolfhounds.









Curtis wants to make a shield. He bought a 24 inch diameter table top and now has ideas on how to make it into a shield.

They are throwing these logs--amazing.

This is the hammer throw.

Curtis committed some offense and is being punished.


Here Curtis kills a horrible enemy.

Kayaking


Lucy and Curtis went kayaking with the church group in Del Valle. This year (as opposed to last year) they went in a double kayak. They made it all the way to the dam and back, supposably about 9 miles. Lucy may not want to do a double next year. However, she did take plenty of breaks while Curtis paddled. Other pictures are available on the church group (TWEK) blog spot.

Trisha's Shower

Briana and I were happy to be able to make it to Trisha's shower this weekend. She sure has grown since Easter. She had a great shower and due to the wonderful people in her church they will have to buy very little for at least the first year of Little G's life. Well, okay they will have to be buying diapers.


You may not be able to see this too well but they are a cute little pair of Nike shoes.




They had a fun art project for people to do. We decorated Oneies of different sizes for Little Gustavo. Briana made two, a lion and a I love my Auntie. I made a very colorful train. Trisha even made one. A football one complete with Bernal and number 77 on the back which was his Daddy's number in highschool football.
