No phones in the car, please!

I made an effort to see the Oprah show on texting and driving because the little girl who was killed here in Fort Collins was one of our patients at ToothZone. I was in tears the entire program. With a sixteen year old and a husband managing a large company, this hit too close to home. Any phone call, any text, can wait for you to get to your destination. I have asked, begged and pleaded for everyone in our family to not use the phone while driving. Period! Please do so as well. One instance of not paying attention could be the difference of life and death. Please take 40 minutes to watch this program and pass it on.

Ready for Spring!

Evan got a new driver for Christmas and we have been anxious to try it out. Problem is, the weather has been far too wintery for the snow to melt. The sun came out today so we braved the snow and enjoyed hitting a couple of buckets of balls. Spring can't come soon enough.

Welcome Conan!

Well, I couldn't go another day without a kitty in the house. We had gone into the Humane Society a few times, but no kitty ever really stood out. We went into Pet Smart to look at their adoptable kittys and there he was ... a four year old sweet tabby cat, Conan! I brought him home yesterday and Moose was thrilled! He acted like this kitty was just for him! So far, Conan has adjusted to his new home really well. He is so cuddly and loves to be around people. He has beautiful green eyes and big white paws which he uses to knead on whoever's attention he wants including Moose!

Traveling Man

So since the beginning of the year, Clay has been to California, Las Vegas, Wyoming, and Detroit. Holy Cow! You'd think I'd have married a pilot! Good news, though, he will travel for business to Atlanta when Blake and I are there for her National CheerSport competition in February. Pathetic that we need to leave the state to see the man! SHEESH! xo The picture is from last summer, but I needed one to remember what he looks like. ;o)

Miss Blake's skills

I am having a great time putting a montage together of all of Miss Blake's skills for her quest for a college scholarship. Here is a short video of just one of her jump sequences. She has been chosen as point jumper, front and center, in her routine this year. That means she is pretty darn impressive!
