I tell my girls, if we can't meet our own needs then we shouldn't live where we live! Piece of pie, thanks to Halla's help. Sage is pretty tough too!
Camping Memorial wknd. Sage enamored with friends little pup and that's our lab pup, Semper Fi.

Well that's my view first night. I left my tent flap open and it filled with water so I slept in the pick up. The girls were in friends motor home. I was actually quite comfortable and can pretty much sleep anywhere ;->

We have a couple pigs this year! This one got away and I had to do a dive to catch him!

Halla always ends up gettin sat upon on these outings!

Not a bad catch after a days work!

It was awesome camping up on the mountian.
Base of beehive

Poor Sandee, worked the poop right out of her ;-

We all had a good time on halloween

Lou got a nice big 2 point, with eye guards :-) It was real good to see all the boys this year!

Hiked haystack this weekend, was a lot more intense than I had planned but an awesome hike!

Sage lost her first tooth. It figures she was home alone with Halla while I was at work. I got the phone call with Sage crying in the background, she had locked herself in the bathroom and was terrified! We had talked about the tooth fairy but Sage is my sensitive one... :-j

Halla is such a lovely teenager. I do have to chase the boys away. Luckily I'm so weird and embarrassing, she says! (Yes!)

Here's one of those LOVELY 2 points, with no eye guards! Didn't have any luck hunting. Did see the big one but always across the mountian heading into timber. Saw him a couple days ago so I know he is alive and well, waiting for me next year...

Sage is a great helper. Here she is making venison stew

Grinding meat

The homestead. Got a lot done this summer but not near as much as I had planned. We'll have to wait for spring to finish that list, I guess!

The girls and myself found some time to play after some work!

2009-09-20T08:19:00.000-07:00

My bed in my hunting camp on the mountian
Had a nice ride...while I hiked and dragged Duffy's lazy behind up the mountian.

Went bear hunting, no bear but did see a nice owl!

First day of HIGH SCHOOL!! Yipes!

First day of KINDEGARTEN!!! Where do the years go...

The fence is coming along. Do a little each weekend.

Sage always does well fishing. Sage and I went up to Crawfish and each caught our limit.

Sage in the hula girl outfit Kit brought her from Hawaii

Sage and I working on the spring.

The girls and I had fun with these turkey's we saw on the way back from camping at Bonaparte. We would gobble and then they would all gobble in unison!!

2009-08-23T06:52:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad camped with us a couple nights~
Halla and Sage on the lake.

Me running "on" water!

Halla distrubing my relaxing moment.

Halla and Sage. We did a lot of fishing but didn't get anything in our boat. It started with Sage getting a 18" trout on the line, getting it to the boat and then the line breaking. This happened to both Halla and I as well. We were so depressed! I'm putting stronger line on my pole!!!

Went for a drive to lost lake.

Hiked up to the top of the rock overlook for Bonaparte.

Dinner!

Halla has been pretty useless this summer! She broke her arm on a skateboard in early July and has been in a cast most of the summer-bummer!

Sage flying a kite in her undies.

2009-08-23T06:32:00.000-07:00

We had quite a summer storm. The lighting was amazing and our entire property was flooded. Our 4 wheeler was moved 20 feet by both wind and water!
Sage helping with the fence. We've been working on this on and off all summer. Hoping to curtail the snow drifting on our driveway. We're about halfway done. A lot of pole peeling!

Sage got a tractor for her birthday. This was the best present because she uses it to help work. She's picked up quite a bit of pole peels for me!

Sage turns 5~

Happy Birthday Sage!

It was a special day to finally have Scott's headstone placed. The buck is a picture Scott had drawn of his boone and crockett. The antler Halla drew. The green granite is from Sage for daddy's favorite color. The day of our appointment to order, I felt like something was missing. That is when the words at the bottom came to me. I felt that Scott wanted us to be reminded of the strengths we have. The strengths he brought to our family, what he has given us. Those words are everything he possesed. They get me through the most difficult days. He was a man who spoke less with words and emotion and most with his actions.

2009-07-10T20:42:00.000-07:00

Had a very good visit with friends, the Mayhew family, in Durango, CO.
Halla, Sage and Allegra on the horse ranch.

Somewhere in ID.

Ended up going through the Sawtooth mountians. Very beautiful.

We just set foot in NM

no comment ;->

At four corners, where four states meet. What a total tourist trap! We had to stand in line.

I told Halla not to ever say we didn't take her to the mall...

The arches were awesome

Hiking outside Bryce canyon

Ely, NV

Bryce Canyon

The girls and I hiked down to the bottom of Bryce. They did real good for such steep grades.

Frisco mining town in NV

We saw alot of wild mustangs!

Surprise Valley, CA. The town that time hasn't touched.

2009-06-17T18:15:00.000-07:00

Mom & Sage

We all went fishing. I ended up casting Sage's pole in the lake so had to give her mine. As usual, Sage caught the biggest fish of the day. So hard to get a serious picture...

Sage, Joey and Halla did "makeovers"

Sage at the park

Late spring storm

Rainbow over Scott's grave. His headstone has been ordered and we can't wait to have it in place. It seems like closure. It will be beautiful.

Getting things in order. Driveway's all fixed! We are going to start on a rail fence to help keep the drifting down in the winter.

Living in our own little piece of heaven. This is what Scott brought us to ;-) We are healing and it is certianly a journey. I think we have learned so much about ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses through out the last 6 months. I think of him all the time but I am more often able to laugh and smile with the good memories and not feel sad all the time. He is definately here and in our hearts and that helps us all to start thinking of being strong and the future.

2009-04-26T06:10:00.000-07:00

Scott's finished cabinets...turned out beautiful!
The TV side was truly Scott's vision. Only he could visualize in his head how it would work. I didn't see it but followed through with his ideas and it turned out perfect. It really opens up the room and makes it feel complete and comfortable.

Kitchen side, my favorite!

We planted a wild rose on Scott's grave, we'll see if it makes it.

Halla picking flowers for daddy.

Easter

Halla's 14th birthday

Sage wanted a hair cut like her sis's Kate. We've since cut it shorter and she loves it.

2009-02-23T07:06:00.000-08:00

Visited Scott's grave and had a good old snow ball fight. I'm sure he was in on the action.

Christmas Day 2008 -

Tunk cemetary

As we hiked out of the cemetary the snow would periodically fall from the trees. The girls thought that Daddy was doing it to make us smile. Although the air was still, the snow would woosh down as we walked along.

Visiting Scott's grave on Christmas morning

The one gift Scott and I had purchased for Sage before December...

And the gift we both got for Halla before December...

Scott's last Christmas tree was beautiful! Although I'm sure he wasn't happy that I tied it up with a rope because it fell down ;-) He would've used fishing line.

2008-12-27T06:17:00.000-08:00

Remembering Scott and all of the good memories ~~

Summer 2008-Bonaparte lake cabin. We had a great time. I remember I was swimming way out in the lake and Scott was throwing rocks to make splashes around me because it made Sage laugh. He threw a nice one and it smacked me right on the cheek! I was so mad!!! I went over and dunked him and ripped his favorite shirt! Told him that he was setting a bad example and I know he felt so bad. We laughed much about that one later!!!

So proud of his big bobcat!

Christmas tree 2006-Scott always made Christmas so special. He was missed this year but we carried on with him in our hearts. He was so special and made these times so special.

On the way to a Mariners game-one of our first pictures together. When we met we knew it would be forever. Scott and I had alot in common but also so many differences. We balanced each other so well. We had the most wonderful life together and I am so thankful for the 11 years we did have and all of the memories.

This photo was taken just a couple hours before Scott passed away. I am thankful that we had a good morning and that I was with him. It is so hard without him but Halla, Sage and I will live life for him. We are going to finish all of his projects and remember.

Our most dear and beloved left this life far too early at age 52 on Dec. 6, 2008. Scott was born on April 23, 1956 in Puyallup, Wash. where he spent most of his childhood years in the outdoors. Scott was an active athlete and sportsman and he loved basketball (Go Gonzaga), football (Go Cougars), but most of all he enjoyed hunting and spending time in the woods. He graduated from Eatonville High school in 1974 and was honored as an All American Football athlete in 1973 and 1974. Scott joined the United States Army and served his country from 1975 to 1978 and then was honorably discharged. Scott worked for US West/Qwest for over 20 years as a lineman then went on to run his own business. He also worked for the Forest Service and, most recently, Okanogan County Public Works. Scott married his wife of 11 years on November 25, 1997 and shortly thereafter moved to Tunk Valley to live his dream. Scott loved the valley, mountains and wildlife and always felt that he had finally found home. He was a loving and good daddy to his cherished young girls and he provided a wonderful home and life for his family. Scott was also a very proud grandpa to little Saga Nordmark and Grace Fuhrman. Scott will be remembered most by those he loved as a warm, loving person who always “hit the nail on the head” and never beat around the bush. He always had the ability to make people laugh and appreciated all that life had to offer. He could always make something out of nothing and often said he was the “richest man on earth” because he loved his life so much. He enjoyed playing poker, spending time with his family and hunting. He was especially proud of his Boone and Crockett buck taken in 2005. Our loss has left a deep hole in our hearts and we will ensure that Scott continues to live his dreams through his family, friends and all those he loved. He touched the lives of many, in many ways. Scott is survived by his wife, Heather Fuhrman; children, little Sage Fuhrman, young Halla Fuhrman, Daniel Fuhrman, Kate Nordmark and Jim Fuhrman; grandchildren, Saga Nordmark and Grace Fuhrman; brothers, Mark Fuhrman and Lance Fuhrman; mother, Billie Fuhrman and father, Ralph Fuhrman. Scott will also be thoroughly missed by special friends, Bill, Louie, Travis and Dave. Annual hunting camp was always a special time for Scott and his friends.

Another good meal at the Anderson's!

Ghostly motel

2008-10-12T09:34:00.000-07:00

There are several very faint orbs in above picture.

While staying in an old "cottage" style motel in Quilcene, we had a few incidents that were a little scary! It wasn't until today (2 years later because I lost my chip) that I looked at the pictures and saw the orbs. This was all the further proof I need! Each night I felt I wasn't alone but didn't let it bother me. But at bedtime I would turn off the TV and start to fall asleep, maybe 10 minutes and the TV would blare on at full volume. Scared the you know what out of me each time. I thought about unplugging the TV but something told me not to...so I left the TV on all night. Each morning I would turn the TV off but wouldn't you know it...it didn't turn on by itself, only at night.

In adjoining kitchen below, see on the left wall:
