Trip to Maryland/DC

Kermit and Dorthy's Slippers on exhibit at the Smithsonian.
Here are several of the monuments we saw on our blistery cold walking tour of the mall area. We had lunch at Ben's Chili Bowl, quite the spot-I probably should of included pictures of it too. If you are ever in DC, it is worth a try!





Dad' 60th Birthday!

This is a picture from the Naval Academy. We did a tour of the facility-quite impressive.

Christmas Eve

We had a great trip back to Kansas and up to Omaha. Now we are having a quiet Christmas-just the four of us. No snow for us, just thunderstorms. Enjoy your Christmas Eve!

The girls with their bones Jarad gave them. They are quite busy savoring over these bones. Thank you Jarad!








These are just some pictures of decorations around our house...
Dinning room

Kitchen table.
Fireplace with out stockings, and Avery and Moxy's are hanging on the fireplace tool holder-right at their level.

Some of these decorations may look familiar...

It is hard to get a good shot of the tree with the pillars!

Moxy's personalized stocking hanging on the front door!

Birthday!

I had a wonderful Birthday-Thank you to all my friends and family that made it so special! We had dinner out at a new Italian Restaurant in Montgomery (Saza) with some friends (Paul & Emily) and then came back for some of Charlie's made from scratch pumpkin cake!

New Toys

We got a package yesterday in the mail from my cousin Jen. She has started making dog toys and sent some to Avery and Moxy. Although, I could not capture it on camera this morning Avery was throwing the rope in the air and catching it all on her own! THANK YOU JEN for the toys and treats!

Halloween Carvings

My pumpkin is suppose to be an outline of Moxy-however it did not quite turn out as planned. You can tell what it is only if you know what you are looking for. Next year we will have to invest in some more carving tools to make it work!
Charlie's KU pumpkin-which was the better idea!
We had a fair amount of kids last night and had to shut our light out at about 7:30.
