Bree loved to help Grammy Dee-Dee feed her fancy goldfish "just a pinch" of fish food. One day she even managed to give them "just a pinch" that was more like a handful and one day she fed them 5 times before we could stop her.

Grammy Dee-Dee and Brianna. :)

Laughing with Grammy Dee-Dee.

Bree and her "Poppa Don" (Great Grandpa Don, my dad's dad) snuggled up watching Mickey Mouse together. (Don't you love the wings and hula skirt?!)

Puppy Love

Dogs, dogs, everywhere! Everybody had dogs in Idaho and Bree had a great time playing with all of them. I think she practically decided she was one she spent so much time playing with and thinking about puppies...

Brianna played "tag" with Deja, Poppa Roger's Brittney Spaniel, quite a bit..they both had a blast.

This is a great shot of Brianna running all out, playing tag with the dogs at Poppa Roger and Grammy Deb's place.

Aww, true puppy love as Bree and Deja gaze into each other's eyes.

Deja got to share trail mix with Bree. She was very careful to take only the food out of Brianna's hand and not to nip any little fingers. Deja got the raw end of the deal though, she only got nuts and raisins while Bree kept the M&M's to herself!

Trying to "walk" the dogs but mostly just getting pulled along. Bree insisted she had to hold both leashes...good thing they weren't big dogs!

Here's Grammy Dee-Dee helping save Brianna from falling. With both dogs pulling her along Bree ended up running full tilt most the time just to keep herself from face-planting. I suppose I should have been more worried but it just looked so funny that I mostly laughed the whole time.

Bree "riding" Tucker. Lucky he's a good-natured dog.

A Lot of Conchas

Well, when I said Brianna ate a lot of popsicles while she was in Idaho I wasn't kidding! Here's just a few shots of her and her "conchas" but keep in mind for each one of those there are three others I didn't post!

Looking cute wearing one of Grammy's "neck-aces" and eating a grape "concha."

Yum! Nothing hits the spot like eating a chocolate "concha" in the nude...

Here's Bree taking a break from the pool and enjoying an afternoon rootbeer "concha."

Having one last "concha" before bedtime...and in her Winnie the Pooh PJ's no less.

Reunion

While we were in Idaho Travis's 10 year high school reunion rolled around. This sparked Trav to get in touch with some of his oldest and closest high-school buddies. So, here's Travis with Kyle (in the middle), Ron (on the left), and Chris (on the right). We had a picnic at the park and let our kids meet and mingle for the first time. It wasn't actually part of the reunion but we had a great time catching up anyway. And, I was right at home since I also knew these guys in high school and had to put up with them while I was dating Trav! (Just kidding guys, you were always great about sharing your buddy...most the time!)

Me with the youngest baby in the group, 7 month old Andrew River Ellis.

Here's a shot of all the wives and kids...between the four families there are seven kids now.
