'Ode to Sissy..."

We may see them as harmless little critters who charm you with their bushy tails and saucer-like eyes, but give them artillery...and they are little furry sons of perdition!

The Return!

Waiting...waiting...finally "the Frenchie" is home.   Alex came back from France to his adoring crowd of onlookers:  Kait, Tate, Max, Ruth, Tony, Grandpa Brad, Lance and Niki (pregnant and taking the picture).

There are just no words...

Cousins are the best!

Carlie and Tony - born a week apart.  She is the only girl who Tony actually likes being around. There is nothing like a cousin (and Tony's friends are always glad when she is in town!!!!)

Mes petits enfants préférés mêmes!

Who knew a pissy sissy could spawn such beautiful children!  Rowan, Bryn and Jillian - blood is thicker than water :)

"You lookin' at me?"

Max and Tony are pretty tight buddies.  You mess with one - you get the vengeance of the other!  

The "purr-fect" place to read

Kait's favorite place to be...on her bed, curled up under her furry orange blanket, and reading. Cleo's favorite place to be...on Kait's bed, curled up on Kait's furry orange blanket, watching Kait read.  

The little white haired old man

Murphy is the oldest member of the "Hill Zoo."  At 13, he walks slowly with arthritis, can't hear anymore...but always wags his tail.  He follows Ruth everywhere she goes and curls up at her feet when she finally sits down.   A little girl Westie named Katie came over recently.  Well, this little white haired old man suddenly acted like he was in his prime.  He flirted with her and even showed off just a bit.  Yes, this little guy still has spring in his step.

"Mighty Muscles"

When Tony first played soccer, he was chosen by the coach to throw the ball in from the sideline.  He threw it so hard, that he knocked down two little boys on the other team and made them cry...delay of game.  Another chance to throw...another little boy literally knocked to the ground by Tony's throw...delay of game...yet, a "future shot put thrower" is born.   Tony is ranked #1 in Utah this year and has taken 1st place in the BYU Invitational and USU Invitational so far this year.  Thankfully, he has yet to make a "full spandex" appearance at the meets this year.  One can only hope he won't be able to find where his mother has hidden those golden spandex throwing pants!!!
