My Little St. Patty's Day Baby Turns 2....

He is getting a kick out of "MMMMM Bocky" chasing him around...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENJAMIN!!!!

2 updates in 1 week....

On the last day of cheer camp we got to see what the girls learned. They did 3 cheers for us. There is my little Lainey girl splitsin' her heart out...
"We got what, what, what, what, what what what what what what what...." Yes, that cheer is still going around.
Early morning fun in the backyard with Mr. Barky...Or as Ben calls him, MMMM Bocky.


Yes, already 4 days in to our beloved dog adoption, I'm already wondering, WHAT WAS I THINKING?!!!!!!!!!!?????? But, he's growing on me and the crate training and potty training are going great. He is a good dog. I just feel like I'm working day and night trying to keep my house from smelling like a dog. UUGH....Our kids are loving it though and that's why he's here.

Dad, On your 54th Birthday...

Sean learned how to play the electric guitar and do really weird things with his face while he plays it...

Tyger Ty is still charmin' the ladies...

Ben grew a large bouffant...
and learned how to drive a car...
Hudson proudly held for the first time our newest member of the family...

we are happy to announce the adoption of
Mr. Barky Von Schnauzer....
(hey, I wish I would have announced this sooner, maybe I could have squeezed another baby shower out of my family. DARN!)

Little Miss Lainey Lou started cheerleading camp...
I know, you never thought the day would come when I would let a daughter of mine be a cheerleader. Well, I'm a little boggled myself... But she was precious!

I still miss you like crazy and would love to see your toothless grin today....

There is so much to say

I'll save it for the day

That I see your smiling face

In that wonderful glorious place.

I love you-R

Wii Mania, New Year's Eve 2007, and ski trip....

On our way down the mountain after a long day of skiing.
Jon and Danielle
I got out on the side of the road to see how deep the snow was and fell in up to my butt!
Danielle's birthday cookie at Oregano's after skiing... There is not much that tops this dessert. This chocolate chip or white macadamia chocolate cookie comes out in a hot cast iron skillet topped with ice cream. TO DIE FOR... me loves fooooood!
We were sliding on the way up the mountain so we had to stop and put chains on. Anyone who knows my SEVERE anxiety when it comes to traveling in weather (snow or fog), can just picture the melt down I was having before we stopped. Oh my gosh, poor Sean, Jon and Danielle. I think I finally drove them all nuts until they decided to pull over and put the chains on. To get me to shut-up they told me we had 4-wheel drive and we would be just fine. Well we don't. LIARS!!!

Ski day #2 for me and Sean. We went up on Friday early morning to ski all day and J & D met us that night for dinner, hotel and skiing all day Saturday.

1st day not much snow on the ground, just the slopes....2nd day you couldn't see 15ft from your face it was snowing so bad. We had to scrape the ice from our goggles to see.

J & S early morning on our way up the mountain...

New Year's Eve I was up doing laundry so we could leave for San Diego the next day. This is a picture of Hudson at midnight. We are party animals!
Ben has a small obsession with my slipper socks...
He slips and slides...
If I put them on myself, he immediately takes them off me or follows me around whining until I take them off....stinker pot.

Wii Mania 2007-2008!!! Yes even mommy and daddy are obsessed with Guitar Hero III. It's really pathetic.
Lainey girl rockin' out!
Tyger Ty at midnight New Year's...
