Nicky-Pooh's a Jerky (maker)

Nick borrowed Eric's dehydrator and made us some fancy Elk-Jerky from the boy's trip out to Wyoming. It turned out very good, and my niece Jolie seemed to be the biggest fan by far. I think she ate a THOUSAND pieces (just kidding!)

Captain's Blog: Firewood Fun!

I have to say thanks to Ken for letting me pilfer his pile of firewood. And of course, thanks also to Jay for the trailer. It only flipped over twice, and the tail lights don't look as bad as I thought busted out (I need to get better going in reverse). The real good news is that I think the witnesses got the license plate on the trailer that backed over those two little skateboarders...let me know if you hear anything about that! I've still got a bit of unloading to do, but I was able to do most of my splitting early this morning.

Peanut Post: Cousins Avery & Mackenzie

What role models I have! I was having a pretty good time watching these two. Mackenzie likes to have plays going on and I'm competing with the handsome fellow next to me for the handsome prince. I hope I get it!

Captain's Blog: The Ever-Expanding Pottmeyer Gang

We added a couple of new members to the family this year. This is at the annual Thanksgiving day eat-down at Bob and Betty's house. We finally got a picture of Connor and Great Grandma. She's so nice and warm!

Peanut Post: Hangin with Mom and Grandpa P!

We went back to Marietta and I got to hang out with Grandma, my aunts and uncles, and of course Grandpa P! I tried to keep a straight face, but in the end, he got me! He's so silly!

Pupdate: Snugglin With Cousin Elmo

"Puppy it's cold outside!" We came in after a good day running, jumping, chasing, sniffing and exploring and grabbed some warm, soft bedding for the night. We even made room for Cousin Elmo to snuggle up with us.

Big Pine Cattle Co, (Indoor Division)

Wednesday and Thursday found Big Al, Derrick, Nicky-Pooh and Ryan down in the basement doing some slate tiling on the wall. The slate has great colors ranging from gray to green, to red. We went through a number of pennies to hold the tile up as they proved to be more sturdy than staples (sounds like a well run outfit doesn't it?).

Peanut Post: Grip of Steel!

Mom gave me my first toy while I was swinging away. While it is in my left hand, I am just trying to be am-bu-desterious....i haven't mastered that word yet. I'm trying to use both of these hand thingies.

Morning Fun in the Bjorn

Connor got to hang out for a few in the Baby Bjorn before Dad had to go to work. It wasn't the greatest ride, but something he seems to want to get used to.
