McCall Winter Carnival-2009

Here is some pictures from our weekend visit to McCall, Idaho. It was the annual Winter Carnival and parade. We stayed at a cabin and had a great time looking at all the snow sculptures.

Spokane with 60 inches of snow in December!

We went up to Snowkane after Christmas and got to play in the 3+ feet of snow on the ground. It was quite the sight. The kids loved it. We helped Pat shovel off the decks before they collapsed like the rest of the buildings in town.

Christmas 2008

We stayed home for Christmas this year and then traveled to Spokane for a few days after Christmas. The boys had a great Christmas break.

Shaggie Maggie

Here are some pictures of our new dog, Maggie. She is a 7 month old Cocker Spaniel. We saw an add in the local paper about a week after we put Buster to sleep and decided to go check her out. We fell in love with her right away. She is such a lover dog and even got to take a trip to Spokane to play in the deep snow.

Buster at Thanksgiving!

Buster, I remember that July day in 1994 when Gwen and I walked down the street from our Grace house to pick you up. We were so excited to pick you up and bring you home to sh0w Jen. You were our first baby! Now its been over 14 years and we added three brothers for you to play with. You have been such blessing in our lives. We are going to miss you Buster! AKA; One Eyed Jack, Old Bones, Jack, Jack Brown, Buster Brown, Old Man Brown. We love you, Jason, Jen, Bailey, Blake, Brady and Socks.

Our new gas fireplace!

Here are some pictures from our November project. I would have liked to tell you that I did all this handy work by myself, but......, I figured that it was best to hire it out. There's nothing like a warm fire on a cold winters day.

Halloween pics

Here are some assorted pictures from Halloween week. Bailey was a referee at school and a ghost for trick or treating. Blake was Commander Cody and Brady was Pooh!
