Beach Day with Big Bucks....2/28/10

Kali and I met Kris down at Huntington's Dog Beach...and Bucks is so excited, he can barely keep his attention on us, much less a ball or toy. He's very interested in what other dogs are doing... This day was beautiful and sunny but enormous WAVES! 10 ft swells rolling in. His new friend "Effie"- She was adorable and so so friendly. She chased him around and played in the hole and chased him some more. Super sweet little dog.

Kali's tunnel....

Kali made this tunnel for "Bucks" and was determined to get him through. We eventually persuaded him with string cheese....

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad 43 Years!

I spoke to my dad yesterday while waiting for Kali at the ortho; he told me how they celebrated their day. Sweet simple and peaceful. That sums of my parents. I also told him how excited I was that my first bulbs actually blossomed. These tulip bulbs came from my parents town. During my visit in October, we visited a flower farm. While leaving for work this morning...they caught my eye. Bulbs are actually very easy to grow, you plant em' in the fall, and with all the rain...BAM you have flowers in the spring!

Happy Valentines Day 2010

Kali and I were quite surprised when Dad showed up with roses for her this year....She felt so lucky...the funny part, she wanted to keep them in her room, and I wanted them in the living room to add to the Valentine spirit.. haha. The little things. Our flowers...

The power of the word "Mom"

A super sweet Valentines day....Dog beach and Jan's Health bar for some yummy sandwiches...and soup.

I love this boy....

Buckaroo's 1st Beach Day...Valentines Day 2010

Bucks is a small little guy, and Dog Beach in Huntington offers quite the variety of dog sizes. Some of the medium size dogs seem to be more aggressive, yet the larger ones were so sweet to him. Beautiful day on the beach...Here is a furry friend and they chased eachother for a little while. Kristopher Age- 20 1/2

Dad from the hilltop. Didn't want to climb down the rocks we found....

Bucks' big friend. Super sweet dog...chased him with smiles. So cute.

SOOOOOO TIRED!!!!!!

Supercross and THE TAILGATORS...2010

Our supercross tailgate party is a good time! The boys get there early to save the spot, meanwhile Bill, Kali and I arrive around 1..as the afternoon progresses this trailer and ez up fill with fun and good food and munchies. The fun memories we have.... The calm before the storm..in this picture.

Bill and I hosted with Carne Asada, beans, and mama's homemade salsa. Yum Yum....And of course I had to add my little Valentine touch to everything.... Cupcakes and sweets for the girls.

The track....

Pictured is Sean and Jami with Bill, Kali and Kris. Miss Kali in the stadium. We weren't freezing for once!

Brace Face...2/10/2010..Let the fun begin....

The time is here, teenage mode in full force. We live very close to this Orthodontist office, and we were extremely impressed with their hospitality, business ethics, and sweet nature to teenagers and parents. I love this place.. Super cute inside....They also receive "points" for each visit, some for wearing "their" team shirt to each visit, some for arriving early and on time, and of course some for keeping their hygene at it's finest. The rewards are cute...healthy gift cards, mall certificates..etc...Any referrals are like gold to this place, therefore anyone searching for an incredible Ortho...this is the one! I promise you'll be impressed. On this day she received the "Separators"- She's sore, but ready to get these things on...

"Big Bucks"

Kris always wanted a dog; same with Kali....unfortunately, we are on the go too much, and I wouldn't commit to the bond, or "responsibility"- The month after Kris moved out...he went and bought "Bucks"- He's a Merle Chihuahua and so ugly he's cute. He has theee biggest ears. He comes to the shop everyday. Bill isn't too fond of the idea, and Bucks has had some little accidents here and there, but brings such happiness to many. Especially me. I never thought a little dog would melt my heart like he does. I took this picture while Kris was heading to the bank and he just stared at me until they pulled away.

Asleep on my desk. I know, bad habit, but in this world, with today's stress...just petting him makes all my troubles seem far. I love you little Bucks. And Kris you are a good daddy to him.
