!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally!!! Please start reading at the bottom because I messed up not thinking that the first thing i post would be the last thing you see... lesson learned.





Tony got tickets for him and Angelina in the all-you-can-eat section of the bell center! And they actually won!!!!!! Angelina spent the whole game trying to get on the big screen and when the game was over didn't want to leave. The 2 pretzels, hot dog, coke, and bag of doritos ultimatly got the best of her and she passed out in the car.


The person in this picture would like to remain anonymous. She is helping to hammer the "bungs" into the boat. It is coming along nicely! Launching mid summer maybe.


And then there is this gem. She is showing you her loose tooth, she has now lost both bottom ones, the toothfairy got lost on the first night but came through with ten bucks and a movie to make up for it. :)


The Drive home, i have twenty pictures that look exactly like this.


Typical of Angelina, checking the purse for gum.


Where's Tony??



There are also pictures of the butter balls, the empty gravy boat and several of people's feet...




These pics are from Grammie Lee's 80th.





Here are a few shots from our trip to Saint John. Angelina took most of these photos.
The first ones are from the Shower/engagement/30th bday celebration that we had with the Greens.





Last year Santa brought Angelina a new snowboard but it is really hard for kids under 10 to learn, so this year she got Skis and there is no stopping her! She made me follow her through this "teddy bear trail" and its a bit too narrow for snowboards, i almost made road kill out of about ten teddy bears. I forgot to give the thumbs up in my closeup :(


Angelina started her swimming lessons in January and is starting her level 2 this afternoon. She was always terrified of the water but now she counts the sleeps until her next lesson. Took about ten shots to get one were her bathing cap wasn't scrunching her eyebrows together.


This is a rare shot of our other kitten Radar. She was found in a back yard as a little baby and is very obviously a wild cat. She spends her days looking out the window at all of the birds and squirrels that she is going to have access to in the spring. She is Tony's baby and he is the only person she will trust to cuddle with her.


This the eldest of our two kittens her name is X-Ray. They have appointments to get the Bob Barker special in 3 weeks but we think that X-Ray might be preggers already, Grandma wants to keep the kittens because it will be a "good experience for Angelina" I think grandma just wants to become the crazy cat lady on the block.

Alyssa's visit!

So its been a pretty crazy couple of weeks!
First of all i'd like to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALYSSA!!!!!" I had such a nice visit with my sister and her amazing baby! Having the baby around brought our family alot of cheer during a difficult time. We also got to celebrate my Grammy Lee's 80th birthday. What an amazing sight it was to have her at the head of the enormous rectangular table with all of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Got to see lots of family that i haven't seen in a decade and it felt good to feel connected to them again. Moving away has given us such great opportunities, but it still makes me wonder what life would have been like if we were still living in Saint John close to everyone. What a wonderful surprise it was to have all the Greens come and celebrate new babies and new life chapters! I can't thank Mike and Pat enough for throwing that party together. The drive back home was alright, Angelina's blue eyes saved us from yet another speeding ticket! Got off with a warning in woodstock, that would be the second time we get pulled over there! We decided to stop trying to keep up with my dad's car which was traveling at the speed of light.....and made it home for 1am. not bad

Back to wedding plans! Alyssa, Ben and I got to go do a little bit of wedding dress shopping on thursday last week. It was supposed to be just for fun and to get a taste for what kind of dress i like but we fell in love with the first dress and spent the rest of the day trying to find something that was as perfect. So...i'm going back to the store with mom and one of my bridesmaids on friday to try it on again and if all goes well put a deposit on it while its on sale. Sorry I wont be giving any sneek peeks even when i do get around to putting pictures up! :)
