Here is a series I've been thinking about for a while.

He sees what he wants...











He digs in...










Here's the results...












My leg didn't come out very well. There are claw marks all over my leg. EVERY night, Buddy stands next to me...waiting. I sit with my legs as far under the table as possible, turned away from him. As soon as he gets a chance, he reaches up and digs his claws into my leg so he can sit on my lap. Except, on the rare occasion that he makes it, he just stands there, awkwardly for a moment, then jumps down. It's as though he has Alzheimer's and forgets that he doesn't actually want to be up there. But he'll try again tomorrow.

We went to a homeschool class at the park today.

Tomas actually came inside and told us all to come out and see this tree. He wanted me to take their picture and told everyone where to stand. :) The tree was covered in ice.

I'm pretty sure this is Cali's dad.
















Brine shrimp dinner.

We went to the Independence Seaport Museum today. They had a Chinese New Year celebration.




























They build boats here, and people can watch and ask questions. TJ's first question was "Can I come back there?" Surprisingly, they let him. He enjoyed it so much that he vice gripped his shirt so he wouldn't have to leave.















Onboard the USS Olympia. We walked into this room and cracked up. Susie didn't get it. She's looking down the whole going "What, I don't see anything!" It was sooo funny!

Adilia wore this dress when she was 6 months old. She was dedicated at church in it, and 7 years later, so was Susana. It's a 24 month. Fits Susana fine. weird. (She's holding it up, it really does go past her waist.)



















Max fighting himself in the mirror.

Akeelah and Bzzquack got spayed today.

I took them to a different place than I took their mother. WHAT a difference!! Cheaper, quicker, cleaner, 1/2" incision instead of 3". We have a new vet.

Wednesday February 21

Tuesday February 20

Yippee...kids getting along, helping each other.

Spike got his tank cleaned today.















He's VERY happy!

Why have I never noticed before that my daughter has an asymetrical nose? You can only tell from this position, but she says it's always been like that.

Sorry to be so wierd, it's the only picture I took today.

Yay, I figured out how to turn my pictures!



Don't you wish that people could learn to share their worlds as well as Barbie, Strawberry Shortcake, and Polly Pocket.






























This is at the park down the road from my house.

This is all I took today. Not that the day wasn't eventful, it was too eventful.

This is me, most nights.

February 14, 2007

These moments are getting more rare. They ARE happy here, I know it looks like a kick in the face, but it wasn't.




















Does this look like a good idea?? (He is sledding though the trees)

She had just come in, and I LOVE the color in her cheeks.

Can you tell which is black and white and which is color?

Tea and turtle

Lake Galena

We took the boys and two friends bowling.

















Two grumpy people smiling in the same picture. It's a miracle.
















Willingly (that is a word, right? It looks wierd) sharing a chair!














I took over 100 pictures and mostly I wanted to get a shot like this. Oh, well.

I took Max and Susie to the science museum today. Max is wrapped in a blue shirt so only his head shows on the screen.
















This was really neat. You could watch the water freeze and see what it looked like through a special lens.

Today the cousins came over, and Max really wanted to have a cake with them, so I improvised.

It's a Keiser roll with icing. The kids liked it!

Today is Max's birthday, and at bedtime I still hadn't wrapped his present. So I hid it.

2/6/07

Of course, I missed the great pose...
















Yes, that's a turtle.
