PART OF THE YEAR!

We decided to have a little get together at our house as a going away party for Jami and Aaron. As word spread and the guest list grew, we had to switch venues. Lis and Kirk were out of town but Kacey was happy to host it at her house :-) . We mixed drinks, had lots of yummy food, and some outstanding entertainment! We were sad to see Jami go but we always love an excuse for a good party!

These three were pretty funny. I thought Brett Michaels had actually shown up to the party!

A MOMENT OF SILENCE PLEASE......

We recently moved and poor Layla didn't have a yard to run in anymore so we had to be fair to her and find her a new place. The people who clean my house knew a couple in Japatul that was looking for a dog. They live on a great ranch and they spoil her worse than I ever did! (Except they put her on a diet, which I'm sure she appreciated). Anyways, we miss her but we know she is happy and loved!

This is Ally's friend Justin. He is so funny with her. He likes to surprise her with little gifts and pictures that he draws for her. :-)

Ally was the star in her class play, "The Nanny Goats". She did such a good job and stole the show!

Halloween!

Gary and Mike decided to do the Chris Farley/Patrick Swayze Chippendales SNL skit. They came in dancing to 'Everybodys Working for the Weekend' and the highlight was Mike freaking Wanda! Straight dancing/body, Mike would have gotten the job, hands down!

Christmas was so much fun this year! Our girls big gift was Band Hero and it was a big hit! After we opened presents we went over to Gary's house for our traditional breakfast and a riveting game of "What If "...... I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time! You seriously could not get a better group of people together. We LOVE being with family!
