Wer'e Celebrating!!

First of all we are excited to let you all know that Abbey is expecting. She is due around the first part of October. We couldn't be happier! And....our little Marques will be turning 1 on March 1st. I just cannot believe that a whole year has gone by since he came to join our family!

FIRE & RAIN

Saturday night Larry, Kelsi and I went to BJ's for dinner. It had been raining all day, but the rain had seemed to subside. We all thought it would be fun when we got home to make a fire in the pit, and enjoy it for awhile. When Larry got home, he proceeded to make the fire, mean while the rain started coming down...we all thought that maybe we would just get some umbrellas and sit by the fire until it stopped, after all it wasn't raining that hard. Bad idea, we ended up getting pretty wet, the wood was getting wet and things were getting smokey, then things just went from bad to worse. Below are a few pictures of our memorable night....notice in the last photo, Crosby is sticking his head out the doggy door...He knew enough not to go out into the cold and wet.

My big boy

My little grandson, is growing up. Everytime I look at him I am amazed at the speed he is growing. On March 1st. he will be 1 year old. It seems like yesterday. Now he is walking, and running. Where has the time gone???

Lost Dutchman Marathon!

Sunday (yesterday), I went to Apache Junction to watch Larry and Katie participate in the "Lost Dutchman Marathon" Larrycompleted the Half Marathon, while Katie did the 10K. They both did a great job! I am so proud!! Pictures are below.

Happy Valentines Day to my Honey!!

Since tomorrow is Valentines Day, I want to tell Larry how much I love him. Larry..I want you to know that the 10+ years that we have been married have been the best in my life. As corny as this sounds, I just cannot believe that you picked me to fall in love with. Thank you, for sharing yourself with me. I love you!

Superbowl II

I just wanted to post a few pictures of Sunday. As all of you know the Saints won. I don't know of a single Superbowl that had an outcome I was thrilled with. However, the Saints played a good game (a better game)... and did deserve to win. The winning team was well representat our little party. Katie and I were the only two cheering for the Colts.

 

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!

Today is Superbowl!...and I have to say that while it is so much fun getting together and watching the BIG game, I had really hoped that their had been different teams playing, the Cards being one of them. So who will win??? You'll have to watch to find out!!! I myself, will be cheering on the Colts!!!

Playing on the patio

Last week I watched Marques while Kim worked. I had hoped to video tape him outside, because he is so much fun to watch. But because I was so nervous about him falling in the pool, and me just generally being too NERVOUS because he moves so stinking fast, I decided to just take pictures. I just love this little guy!

 

Doggy Door!

The past few weeks Marques has kind of been intrigued about our doggy door, I think he even went through it a couple of times. Today however I am having a hard time keeping him from going through it. As soon as he gets to the outside, he takes off running. When I bring him back inside, he goes straight for the door. I finally put the cover over it, which caused him to throw a small tantrum. Below are some pictures, so that you can see exactly how it's done!! I love this little guy!!
Look at Crosby in the second picture..priceless!
