Domino Reincarnated

Don't get all excited kids.  It's not him!  This fella came along with the transport crew that brought the playhouse.  He found a tennis ball, a comfy spot in the yard, and settled right in.   He played catch, and brought the ball back clenched tightly in his teeth, refusing to let go.  Just like Dom.  My I sure do miss that mutt!  Anyone know how I get this annoying underline off the text????  HELP!

The New House

There was quite a parade through town on Thursday!  The new playhouse Jeremy bought was delivered to our home.  Now, the house was not your miniature bungalow, as pictured in the minds of all girls...it was a 15' tall 2-story "fire house" type play house!  There were police escorts (4) and I don't know how many hired escort vehicles.  The house was too tall as it sat on the delivery truck, to fit under the traffic signals.  So traffic at  every intersection had to be stopped as the playhouse was weaved through - avoiding the signal arms.  Several stops were made while wires were raised for the house to pass under.  

The house now sits temporarily on the driveway - next to it's more permanent home.  A cement slab will be poured on Monday, then the fun task of moving the beast into place!  We'll keep you posted!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY!!!!! Sept. 26th

There once was a cute little baby..

who grew to a lovely young lady.

The years seemed to fly -

We're not certain why,

But we'd turn back the clock again -- maybe!!

Happy birthday, little girl!  We love you bunches!

(by the way, does anyone else see Arden in this picture??)

Say what??

Uhh, that doesn't sound very nice!  We snapped this photo while in Berlin...anyone know what it really means??

Alex...is that YOU??

While vacationing in Hawaii earlier this year, we met our old friend, Alex (short for, Alexander the Great).  Our kids will no doubt recall many memories of our days with this crazy guy.  One of his favorite little quirks was to become very vocal anytime the phone rang!  Seemed he wanted to talk too.  Tracy was about 8 at the time, and the phone rang, so she answered it.  Of course Alex began his sqawking and hollerin' and Tracy said, "just a minute," put her hand over the phone and screamed "SHUT UUUUPP!!!  He did, and she went back to the phone call.  

Alex's undoing came when he continued to punish mom (who fed, cared for, and cleaned up after the dirty bird) by not returning my affection - instead preferring dad, who did none of that!  You're a gonner..

It's Time..

OK folks...hold on to your hats!  Hard to believe, I know, but we've gotta show our younger generation that we're not totally computer illiterate!  Me and D are gonna BLOG!  Ha!  The first one to tease or poke fun of me will not only incur the wrath of momma, but will probably make me melt down, delete my blog, and crawl back in my safe, dark world of non-internet savvy "old people!"

So, without further ado.... Heeeeeeeeerrrreeee we go!!
