Great News!!

I received one of my favorite Christmas gifts in the mail today......

Santa Kenny Lands at Starbucks

My son has worked at our local Starbucks for the past several years. They asked him to play Santa this year.

I think he fit the part rather well.

He got to enjoy milk and cookies.....

...and listen to many Christmas wishes.

Santa's Elf passed out sample cups of their specialty coffees. I liked the Caramel Creme Brulee the best.

But I think I know Kenny's favorite part about being Santa.

It had more perks than just free snacks. :)

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Sky Watch Friday

For my husband's 50th birthday, I decided to surprise him and the boys with a sky dive. He used to dive in his younger days, but hasn't jumped in years. The boys have never jumped before. It took place at 14,500 feet and included a 60 second free fall.

Kenny was the first out the door. He was the most apprehensive for the 3 guys.

Judging from his face in this picture, I think he had a great time.


Next to jump was Brent. He was very excited about jumping and not at all nervous. He loves an adventure.

Judging from this picture, I think he had a great time too.

Last to arrive safely on the ground is the Birthday Boy! What a way to test a 50 year old heart. :)

Another happy face! My surprise was a success.

Though my family tried real hard, they were unable to get me to jump. I kept my feet on the ground. :)

I found my husband's old dive log. The last jump recorded was in 1983. He can now make a new entry into it. :) I know it won't be that long again before he makes another entry. Both of the boys are now hooked on sky diving too.


Happy Birthday Mike!

Sky Watch Friday

Taken from my office window during a rather long confrence call. Yes, I know I should have been listening, but I was wishing that I could be outside to enjoy the gorgeous fall weather. :)

Laura's Puppy Party

I had a lovely time at Laura's house today. She had her puppy party. It was great fun playing with her sweet puppies and spending time with my favorite Cardigan buddies.

We receved lots of puppy kisses.

Here is the first of the puppy evaluations.

The puppies had a great time checking out Nash. And visa versa.

More puppy evaluations.

A puppy pile.

The puppies were quite tired by the end of the photo session.

Here are a few of the trapped, bored prisoners.

If you know of some one looking for a puppy, Laura still has a few available.

AL/LSU CBS Pregame Show

This Fall, Kenny transfered from a community college and started his Junior year at the University of Alabama, majoring in electrical engineering. He and his roommates have been having a great time being chest painters and have been on TV the last 3 home football games. What made it even nicer was that AL won all 3.

Here are a few images that I tried to take of my TV screen from those games:

Kenny at AL v AR .....

..... at AL v SC .....

..... and AL v TN.

Kenny called me today to let me know that CBS is going to have him and his chest painting buddies on the LSU pregame show in 2 weeks. :)

Roll Tide!!!

Nash Wins Again

"Ahhh, now is the perfect time of day to work on my bone."

"Hi kid."

"Hey Rush, whatcha doing? Oh, you got a bone."

"If I look really, really, cute can we share?"

"Puleeeeese. I really want that bone."

"Sheesh, pushy pushy. All right kid, you can have it."

"Hee hee, it works every time."

"That Rush. He's such a wuss. I win again."
