Just Sayin' Good Morning

These days, when Wes wakes up in the morning or for a nap, Oscar feels the need to rush right in and say good morning (or whines outside the door until I let him in.)
Wes doesn't seem to mind. He loves his doggies!

Happy New Year!

My first official post of 2009! Hot diggity dog. Where does the time go? It feels like New Years Eve was just yesterday.
Our good buddies Brian and Clara invited us up to their family cabin for New Year's Eve games and New Year's Day outdoor fun. After we dug our way into the cabin, the good times began. We had hot chocolate, a delicious dinner and some fun games. Meanwhile, Wes and Will (Brian and Clara's son who is only nine days older than Wes) crawled all around the floor and made a huge mess of everything. It was great. Thanks Brian and Clara for an AWESOME trip.


Me and Clara with our darling boys.


Wes playing on Daddy's tummy and having a great time.
(Lately, when he gets excited about something, he clenches
his fists and flexes his arms and makes this grunty, growling sound. It looks like that is what he is doing here.)

Here's Clara making the most amazing lemon chicken for dinner. Yum!

These boys are so similar in size it is hard to
tell who's who from the back. Can you guess?


Wes's first time sledding. He seemed to like it!

Our little fam. I am about to push Grant and Wes
down the hill for another run.


With all of our slippery snow clothes, it was really hard to hold Wes.
This was Grant's idea. I was sure Wes would cry, but he loved it!


The easiest way to get from here to there... by being pulled on a sled by the four wheeler. (I preferred to be on the four wheeler, myself.)


The gang: in back- Staci, Steve, Brian, and Charles
in front- Grant, me, Wes, and Clara.
Will was napping, in case you were wondering.
