Last few days....





Sam loves the last of the milk... REALLY! 2/9/11

















Do I have Chocolate on my face? 2/8/11
















WE love this place! Cocoa with whip for A and without for S. 2/8/11











There are some habits that are hard to break. But, I at least put it on the edge of the sink now, right?! 2/7/11










What a stoves look like when dogs can turn on the burners when the wag their tails. Seriously! 2/7/11

Superbowl to the Green Bay Packers!

Great day for a Super Bowl.

I wore my Saints t-shirt. I didn't drink champagne. Scream happiness to people I didn't know but who were m best friends for the night. I didn't head to the quarter after the game. Run into co-workers in the Old Absinthe Bar later finding out, he was kicked out the absinthe bar for rowdiness). Did stay out until un-Godly hours AND make it into work on time.

Congrats to the Packers. I cheered for the commercials! But, I do love cheese.


Gunnar wants to play with those kids SOOOOOOO bad.










Anna did a great job.

Feb 4 - Superior and Banana Bread Kids taking pictures today

It was crazy at Superior.









Don't look at me mom and don't smile.










Anna and I made Banana Nut Bread... She REALLY did all the work!

Feb 2 and 3

So, the groundhog didn't see his shadow and I am freezing.... where is the spring...

One day the Angel Trumpet might actually bloom.
















Loving the flame and hoping the power doesn't go out...

What a way to stat February

Nasty weather came through town today....

Ellie

Ellie is my old lady, my sweetheart, my love. I picked her out as a pup. She was 3 weeks old when I picked her up and she talked to me. rrr rrr rrrrrrr, she was telling me all about it.

She was the most precious puppy. The perfect lab pup! I love her so much. She is 13 and a half.

Funny, today is my old dog, Ruger's birthday. We had him when I was a kid. He was an incredible dog. He would gladly let a robber in but he'd never let him out. He died my senior year of high school. I swear Ruger and Ellie are related somehow.





El, short for Ellie Sue (LSU, work with me people), is a love. She tolerates the kids and the younger pups. She will play ball until she falls over. She will tell you and the kids when it is time for bed. She is the alpha now that we lost Brook-Lyn. She took charge begrudgingly and with grace. She has done most things with grace. Her eyebrows tell epics stories and her tail can swipe any table of items. Her patience with us in general is great, but her jealousy is palatable. She hates others to get hugs and kisses unless she is involved. She can bark on command, but we forgot to teach her the command to stop.

She is truly a gift.

1/26 when pets got bad










I read a few weeks back about a girl who took a picture a day for the past 4 years. She prints them out and put them in albums... I decided to give ti a try. So, as not to bore my facebook friends, I will post here.

I started on January 20 (and even figured out my date on my camera was wrong a few days after)
