Dreaming of the Road........

This is our home away from home. When Brian retires,
we hope to spend some time visiting family and friends in our motor home.

We have all the comforts....

Nice stove, refrigerator and a good size freezer.
We even take ice cream with us when we go camping!!!
Even a nice bathroom, complete with shower that Brian can stand up in.

Queen size bed that I can make pretty
easy because I can access three sides of it.

Amy is 8!!

Can't believe that she is already 8 years old,
seems like only yesterday that she was small like Kylie!

Amy opening some of her presents.

We got her a real fishing pole and her own tackle box.
Know her and Papa will have alot of fun fishing together.

Oh Boy, the birthday cake!

Kylie - One Month old today...

In the one below she is about 1 week old. She had just come from her bath so her hair was all slicked down. Notice the cheeks, she will have to grow into those!!!

These next pictures were taken just last week (she is about 3 weeks old).

Amy holding her baby sister.

Her hair is so soft....
It is dark near her head and then turns a nice brown color at the tips.
It is so soft. I couldn't keep away from it.

Karla, Amy, and Jesse.

These next ones were taken today. She is one month old.

This is also the first time that I have actually been able to babysit!!!

Just look at that hair!!!

From Cute to Moose

Neka

This is where we started with Neka in August 2009. At that time he was only 2 1/2 months old and weighed less than 20 pounds. He was born on June 2, 2009.

We took Neka on a 2 week motor home trip with us less than 2 weeks after we got him. We were kind of worried about it, wondering how well he would travel. But he did wonderful. He loves being with us where ever we go.

Neka and Nana in the Bat Mobile. This was at a firework stand outside Wasilla, Alaska.

Neka also loves the snow. These were taken in January and February 2010. He weighed 60 pounds at this time.

Neka also loves chasing his balls into the water. We go to the beach a lot. Here is a shot of him taken in June when he is all wet. He is now 74 pounds.

Dog Toy???!!!

Neka had so much fun with this bucket, had to share with you all. Jet

Announcing....

Kylie Earline Budke

Arrived at 12:53 pm today, June 22, 2010. 7 lb 8 oz, 20 inches long.

Mom and baby are both doing great. Karla looked really tired, these pics were taken less than 3 hours after she was born. She hadn't even had her first bath yet. She has a full head of really dark hair. Was hard to see how long it was because of all the stuff still in it.

With love to all. Proud Great Grandma and Grandpa Budke.

PS - Amy is very excited about having a sister.
