Cailey, Bella & Richard - Jan

Not much going on in January. One thing I know is that I'm ready for Spring!!!
PawPaw (my dad) turned 56 on January 16th. We celebrated at Pasghetti's and had an awesome chocolate w/peanut butter frosting from Cothrans. I'll have to get pictures of my dad and the kids blowing out the candles from my mom.
Here are some pictures that I've taken so far this year.

Cailey and Bella. She loves her puppy!! She calls her "my sweetie".

Bella took over Cailey's Dora chair.~~ I came home from taking Cailey to school to find Bella had gotten one of cailey's babies and put it in her bed. Cute!!

A little tongue~~~~~~~And then the rest!!!

Happy New Year!!

We Welcomed the New Year with Old & New Friends this year! We had a small, last minute get together and played some games. Including the new PS3 Buzz Quiz Tv, which was fun. I got Cailey into bed only minutes before 12am, she was so wound up with everything going on!

Christmas '08

We had a Great Christmas this year!! I hope everyone else did also. Richard & I were both off the Wed, Thur, Fri of Christmas & New Years Week. We have really enjoyed the time off together. Cailey has gotten too use to seeing her Daddy. Will be rough when it all goes back to normal on Monday, the 5th. We took Cailey to see The Tale of Desperoux Sat. It was pretty good. We've spent a lot of time in Gadsden this Holiday season, Richard went Fishing & arrowhead hunting with his dad last weekend and we've all gotten to spend more time with our family. Now we're looking forward to the next holiday. Which is gonna be awhile.
