Daisy @ The Field

We took Daisy to The Field before she went in to the groomer's. It's so calming there, and she loves to run free. She is such a great dog, bc if she notices that she has gotten too far ahead of us- she looks back like, "are ya'll coming?" Or if she is oblivious, we will say, "Hey Daisy! Hold up." And she waits until she is within about 15 feet.



We keep her on her leash until we are a good enough distance away from the parking lot. Or for her safety, if we see another dog.




i think she looks like a wolf in the top right

I swear she could stay here all day & still have a great time!



Such a ham!


does she look like the devil dog in a couple of these? haha- she couldn't be more of the opposite

She runs around like she has all of the energy in the world. We noticed on the way back to the car, she finally showed that she was a little tired.



A little snow angel break.



Looks like she had fun!



Since she just got groomed, we'll have to wait a bit before we come back. BUT we will be back soon!

BFD Xmas Party

This year I was able to make it to the BFD Holiday Bash. It was awesome. They had a caricature guy, a magician, an animal guy, & santa! There were about 50 kids there, too. Almost every family has at least 3 kids. Santa had so many presents to give out that they had to bring them in on a tiered cart! The food was great, too. Jimmy made my mom's broccoli salad/slaw. I'm glad I got there early, bc it was gone in about 20 minutes. The magician was pretty funny. The kids that went up there were so cute. There was one little boy who cracked everyone up doing one of the tricks with the guy. And the animal guy had some cool animals. It was cool to see so many kids not afraid of the animals. Even the little girls were excited to hold the giant snake! I hope my kids are going to be that cool. The caricature guy was just.....creepy. And I have seen him before, probably while working on a PO for the Times. Crap! That reminds me- I have a PO in 12 min! gtg

Kristmas Movie Marathon Day!

*UGH! These damn pix didn't show up! I'm not going to fix it either.

Movie #1 Disney's Christmas Carol

This movie is really cool. The graphics are so amazing. Some of the characters look like REAL people.

Movie #2 Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

I guess Jim Carrey is a staple to our holiday. Is it bad that we ALL can almost quote the entire movie?! I find myself quoting this movie throughout the year. "There's no stick.....I'M SMARTER!"

Movie #3 National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

It's fun to find a relative in almost every character in this movie. We also can basically act out this entire movie. It's just sad.

I still have some more Christmas movies to watch: Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Rudolph, The Year Without a Santa, Santa is Coming to Town, and Frosty. Crap! I only have 4 more days! How am I going to fit them in?

___________________________________________________________________

Daisy is going to the groomer's today, so we are taking her for a walk at "the field" before she heads in. Get her all nice & dirty. HAHA!

We have 5 more Christmas' left to celebrate this week. We go to 6 every year. *Sigh*

I guess I better go get some stuff done....

Schreckmas 2010

On our way to Schreckmas 2010



There was snow on the ground, but none falling from the sky. Hopefully Mother Nature is waiting for Christmas morning.



And the shots start....



The Mistletoe Bandits. Gary & Ron wouldn't let anyone go through the hallway without a little smooch.



Santa Steve passing out the gifts to the kids who were there. It's amazing to see how grown-up they all are.



Grandma getting ready to pass out her gifts to her kiddos.





Grandma's Boys! Uncle Gary kept picking on Grandma's friend Kay by tickling her ear with his snow scraper.



Jimmy enjoying the festivities



Grandma's Girls!





Beth, Me, & Michele



The ladies opening up their gifts during the gift exchange.

My New Lens!

ugh! I have to figure out how to use it though....








Hopefully, today I will get lots of practice using my new lens! Because, obviously, I need it.

CFFD Potluck 2010

Crafts with the High School girls



New babies everywhere: David Henry & Jax. The picture of Carey up top is basically what she and I look like at these things. Stuck behind the camera. (or are we strategically placed....hmm..) Molly was a little scared of Santa at first, but Riley lead the crowd by sprinting over to him!



I love how Asher would only talk to Santa from a certain distance. He whispered to him that he wants, "toys" for christmas. so cute.



Riley loves her Santa




Poor Dylan. New guy has to sit on Santa's lap....





I like Mary's tights. So fun!

Just Chillin'

Mikey's Opening Basketball Game for 2010

I love the flex. That's funny



He did a great job posting up!



Mikey's face cracks me up in this picture. And I liked the shot of Sam that I took.



Who's a rebounding machine? My "little" bro, THAT'S WHO!



Nobody is anywhere close to him.



Great job! They won & Mikey fouled out! Pretty fun for the first game! Can't wait for more.


p.s. uh- - - where's the dunk?

Baby Luka!

Jenna's little one playing.

Caed & Luka have a little brother on the way!
