January 2009

January was a very busy month. I won't bore you with too many details
but wanted to share some pictures from the last month.

Carrigan and Alan were very busy one morning making us breakfast.
We had cereal, carrots, poptarts, toast, cinnamon and raisin bread,
a banana and orange juice. YUMMY - YUMMY!!!

Here is a picture of the kids with Sophie and Sophie
playing with Princess. Sophie has turned such a good puppy.
She loves to play with Princess in the back yard.
They also like chasing each other around in the living room.



We celebrated Kati and Ty's birthday. We had a great time.
This year it was held at Kati's mother-in-laws house. We had a really good time.

Rusty and Alan watching Kati and Ty open their presents.



Carrigan turned 8 in January and she had a slumber party.

Here is the cupcakes and cake that I made for her. Yes - I made those
all by myself. I was pretty proud of myself.






Here is a picture of 3 of her friends that spent the night.
Maddie and Alex weren't here when the picture was taken.

Ragan, Sierra and Carrigan



This is Maddie enjoying her pizza!



Here's a picture of some of the girls working on decorating
their pillow cases. They girls had alot of fun being creative.



The finished products!




A group shot minus Maddie. She was sitting on the
sofa with me watching the older girls!



The girls did a dance for us that Coach Zach taught them at school.
Me, Rusty, Maddie and Alan loved watching them dance!
They also had a dance off later that night!

Be sure to watch this video...it's really cute!

the sofa - he didn't stay there.



Cher turned 40 the day before Carrigan's birthday.
Here are some pictures from her party!

I'm wearing the beret.

Meet Sophie!

Sophie is the newest member of our family.

In these pictures she was a couple days older than 6 weeks old. As of today she is 9 weeks and 1 day old. I'll have to take new pictures of her. She still looks the same - little :-) Princess and Sophie are starting to get along - as long as Princess does not pounce on her. I still don't let the 2 of them be together by themselves though. Princess is still too rough. Sophie "might" weigh a pound and Princess is 6-7 lbs so you can only imagine.

I hope that everyone is staying warm.

Happy New Year Everyone!

2008 sure did fly by fast!!!

WOW - I didn't realize that it's been awhile since I last posted. I've got some catching up to do just like my SIL Kati had too.

Here is a slideshow of Christmas at our house. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving at Grammy's and Grandma's

This year Me, Carrigan, Alan, Kristi and Hunter rode together to Birmingham to visit Mom, Kandis and Matthew for Thanksgiving. We had alot of fun. Rusty and Pat weren't able to make it this year and they were missed.

Thanksgiving Day we went to Tim and Barb's. Everyone had a great time!

Enjoy the slideshow!

I thought this was funny so I had to share!

I know I've told some of you about me telling Alan not to put his clothes on the floor. Well - this is what he did with them....

I couldn't be mad at him - I did tell him to get them off of the floor - LOL!!!!

I hope that everyone has a awesome 2009!!!!

Jason's Birthday Party

Hey Everyone -

The kids went to a really neat birthday party this past
weekend and I just wanted to share some pictures that I took.
There is a guy that will come to your house and he brings all
of these reptiles. I was really neat and the kids
seemed to enjoy it (kinda - HAHA!) along with some of the adults!
Some of the kids were a little scared but there were others that
wanted to hold then all! Carrigan was the brave one in
our family. Rusty would not hold anything. Rusty says the only
good snake is a dead snake!!!! He didn't really it when it came
to these snakes - just the ones out in the wild!

Enjoy!

THE IGUANA - NAMED SHEGOES
He was pretty neat. Once the guy told us about him - he sat
on the top of his cage for the rest of the party. The guy did pass
him around and show us his third eye on top of his head
which was pretty neat.



BEARDED DRAGON
He is just like the one that played "Fred" in the movie
"Nims Island". He was a pretty neat looking little guy!



MIKE AND THE BOA CONSTRICTOR



THE KOMODO DRAGON



The Birthday Boy Jason and Carrigan holding a turtle.



ALBINO PYTHON - 12 ft long
I don't think I would want this snake that close to my neck!



Alan is checking out this monster of a snake!



Look how many people it took to hold him!





Brandon and Maddie weren't afraid to hold a snake!



MILK SNAKE
This Milk Snake really liked Mike. It wrapped itself
around his hand. You can actually see where the
snake was shedding.



You can see in the picture below where the tip of Mike's
finger was starting to change color from the
snake holding on! - LOL!



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope that everyone has a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving.
I'll post more pictures after the holiday!
