Chistmas EVE

The boys got 2 early Christmas Presents this year. Baby Guinea Pigs, named Butterfinger and Oliver. Butterfinger is 3 weeks old....and Oliver is 6 weeks old. It is so neat how different their personalities are. Oliver is very verbal... making all sorts of noises. And Butterfinger is calm and relaxed. Just sits in your hand...and chills. They are both so adorable. The boys love them already....and so do I. (still trying to fill some of the void that our Golden Retriever, Alex, left a few years ago. - since we are not in puppy mode right now.) ALSO...our sweet Holland Lopped Bunny died last weekend. Coen was devastated. I was sad too...we loved him so! He was like a puppy. Always wanting help and to lay under the dining room table. He has left a void as well. So, these little guinea pigs will be very loved.



Butterfinger lives in Coen's room.

Oliver lives in Josh's room.

Here are the boys on Christmas Eve.
Coen Tradition is that you open ONE present on Christmas Eve.

Meet OLIVER!

Meet Oliver! An early Christmas gift to the boys.

He is 4 weeks old. He is black and brown and so sweet.
The boys were SO excited when they came home from school yesterday and saw him.
Actually, he rode with me in the van to get them from the bus stop.
A surprise for sure.

I gotta quit going to the pet store for bunny food!!
Good thing they dont sell puppies!!


His name is OLIVER SQUIGGY.
We hope that he and the bunny (Hopper Floppy Brammer) are great friends.

BRACES update -
One happy girl right here.....today...I got my upper's off. No more braces on the top....still on the bottom though. That is ok though. I am seeing progress and that is enough for now. Tomorrow I go back for the invisaline type things to finish the job. Can't help but smile today!! :)

Halloween 2008. Here are the boys in their costumes...along with their loot! :)

Football game on Sept 13th

Coen played great last weekend. He is really enjoying football.

His grandparents, Aunt and Cousins came up to see him and to celebrate Daddy's birthday. It was a great weekend!

Coen waves from the field after a good tackle!

What a handsome guy!

Disney Blues

Ok...so I have the Disney blues. Vacation was so fun. So, I am in the mood to blog....Thought I would do so and add more disney photos as my some of my friends have requested....so here goes.... by the way...at the end of each page click on "older posts" to see more. I tried to keep them in order. And this is just some of the 870 pictures that I took. It was SO fun!




The best advice ever.....as soon as you arrive in Disney....even before you check into your room and unpack.....TO GO A CHARACTER BREAKFAST or lunch. It is wonderful. It kicks the entire vacation off for the entire family and you are not chasing Mickey and Minnie and friends around Disney the whole week....or waiting in long lines to see them. When you happen to see them again...it is icing :) This is our first day...at Chef Mickey in the Contemporary resort. (we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge though)
