In Loving Memory of those who have served our country

To whom are still protecting our freedom.

Parting
by Esther B. Dunlap*
Once more the portals have opened
In answer to the Master's call.
Again He has claimed a loved one,
A summons that comes to us all.

We feel bereft in the parting
With Loneliness it seem we cannot bear
We forget there is always One present,
Our sorrows He offers to share.

Let us not lean unto our own understanding
But on Him who will do His share
If we but place our hearts in His Keeping,
And rest assured there will be no night there.

*Mother of Esther J. Dunlap Arnold

God Bless
Take a moment to remember the ones you love.
Say Thank you to a member of the Armed Forces
Have a wonderful Memorial Day!
Brent, Sarah and Audrey June

New Look

What? You have a problem with me?
Reminds me of some Italian from NY

Audrey has this new look. She crinkles her nose, puckers her lip or usually tucks her upper lip in and hisses at you. Tonight I was trying to feed her green beans and she would do this before every bite. I try not to laugh but sometimes it can not be helped.

I also think it makes her look like a monkey!! She is starting to do this when she gets mad as well as when she is being silly. I think she is experimenting with face making.

Armed Forces Day Parade

Thank you to all who serve our Country and to their familiies for Supporting them. A huge Thank you to all the Veterans. God Bless

Today we went to the Armed Forces Day Parade. Brent put his car in with the Mopar club like we did last year. This year Greg got to ride with him and have a macho men's day!! The car is too loud for Audrey to ride in. We did go and watch and then walked along the parade route taking pictures.

Here they are:

Catchin' some Rays

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's.

Well today was a fairly nice Mother's Day. Brent took me out to lunch and then we went to home depot and Walmart. I got to take a nap, while Audrey went out and helped Daddy work on the tractor.

Here is a picture of Audrey and I on Mother's Day. It is not a good picture I think, but none the less here it is.
Brent and I owe my mom and dad a huge THANK YOU, for helping Auntie Arlene, move her sisters stuff on Mother's Day. We can't thank you enough. We love you.

Anyway, Im off to do laundry. Hope everyone had a great day.

Mommy and Me at the Zoo

Mommy and Me at the Zoo

Daddy is trying to get me to look at the whales but I see shiny things and my shadow!

Wearing my bonnet from Granny, ready to go to the Zoo. I look so big. Look at those long legs. 8 mos on the 2oth.

See the Monkey to my right, we take after my Daddy!

This is a Balooga Whale. I was more interested in seeing my shadow than watching the whales swim in circles.

The snack that smiles back, Goldfish!

Ever see a llama in his pajama's? Ever see a fly wearing a poka dotted tie? What about a Peacock that ate goldfish??

Today we went to the "Mommy and Me at the Zoo".

The most exciting event at the zoo was the peacock that decided to join us for lunch and enjoy some goldfish crackers. He thought Brent was really cool. Audrey didn't quite know what to think of it. He did come right up to her stroller. Thought he was going to share her fruit puffs with her, but he just wanted to check her out.

I have never seen a peacock as friendly and not afraid of humans as this one. We called him George!

My Christening

St. Stephens Episcopal Church
Colusa, CA
Easter 2006
Four Generations of Arnold's baptised in this church.
There was also four generations present for the Chrestensen and Cameron families.

Dinner at Auntie Carol's

Auntie Carol hosted a dinner for everyone for the first time at her house. It was delicious. She did a wonderful job.

My cousin Tamarah

Nana and Granddad McGuire from Las Vegas.


My Pappy, and Granny


My Auntie Carol and Daddy.

Correction: Darren's house and Auntie Danica is the housekeeper!!

It was requested that I post more CA pictures so here they are: When we arrived at Danica's (Darren's) house on Saturday for a girl's day, we arrived to Darren mowing the front lawn. As you can see he does this by allowing the cows in the front yard while he lays in bed!! We promptly went in and tackled him on the bed.

Danica and Darren's(only when they are in the freezer. Otherwise they are George's) cows can be friendly, well at least some anyway. We were able to walk up to a few and say hello.

My new Robe

I have not been feeling so great. The last few days I have been running a fever and extra fussy. So mom decided to give me a bath with bedtime wash in it. It helped me to relax and calm down a little. Then I got to try out one of my new robes. This one was quite fun. I was in a much better mood than I had been all day. Then of course mom got the camera out and I decided to ham it up, again.
Daddy even asked mom to print the first and third one for him to take to work! I must look really cute!

We really miss everyone and loves to all.
