10,000 Buddhas Pictures

The Blue Dog

The shrine to the deceased.

M1 and M2 in front of a statue at the Montestery.

The Father and M3. The craziness at the top of the hill outside the temple.

You thought I was kidding when I said there were more than 10,000 Buddhas. This is a picture of M1 in the temple at the Montestery. You may think that there is a really bad wallpaper job, but those are all individual Buddhas. About the size of M1s head. Everywhere. Floor to ceiling, which by the way is still 3 rows above where I cut off the picture. I mean 10 zillion Buddhas.

M2 with a few of the Buddhas.

This little man

was repainting all the lips on the Buddhas. What a job. Bright red.

The Father waiting at the top of the hill. Montestery in the background.

Father's Day

So I'm a day late (and probably a dollar short, I'm not sure I haven't looked at our checking account lately) but I was busy over the weekend. The girls came home (2 days early) and I was in Utah running the Wasatch Back. And I pretty much missed Father's Day. I got home at 7:30 last night and Colby had made the girls dinner, cleaned up, and started the dishwasher. They were watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Had it been Mother's Day, he never would have lived it down, but he hasn't said a word (maybe that's not a good thing). He's a great dad. As I get teary just sitting down writing this, knowing he will never see/read it, he's amazing. He's a hard worker and does it all for the girls and me. He doesn't (usually) complain about anything and does what needs to be done. He loves the kids and probably missed them as much as I did while they were gone. I don't give him enough credit for having emotions about anything, but ...

In A One Horse Open Sled

Today we unloaded a couple tons of hay and Colby saddled up Lightening and pulled the girls around our 3.5 acres. They had a ball and especially enjoyed singing "Jingle Bells...in a one horse open sled." They make me laugh sometimes. Ok, fine, a lot of times.

Holy Sm

I started typing in my title and when I finally looked up and saw (at that very point) that I've already used this one. So to reiterate, Holy Smokes! I can't believe how much I have to catch up on! Maybe tomorrow when I don't have visiting teachers coming, cleaning for my mother-in-law to make an appearance, Madie's piano lesson, 6 violin lessons, rehearsal and somehow I found time to pinch poor Meriden's finger in the front door, I'll download some photos from 1. Christmas (What?!? I still haven't done that?) 2. New Years Eve/Day 3. Madison and Mackenzie's first gymnastics meet videos and photos all before we go to another meet this weekend in Salt Lake, making sure I look like a good mom since my mother-in-law is in town (aka having food on the table at a decent hour), teach a few gymnastics classes, getting ready for Madison's big 9th birthday, taking treats into her class and actually getting packed and to Salt Lake all by Friday at 3 pm. ...
