Conan the Dare Devil Cat!

The kids sent me this picture today of Conan balancing on the stair rail upstairs. This cat cracks me up!

Conan is a good looking cat. He loves to hang out in the woods behind our house. I was watching out the window over the weekend and some "punk" was walking down the greenbelt with Conan in his arms. I ran out there and said "Hey! That's my cat!!" The kid set the cat down and walked off. I saved Conan from being Catnapped! Don't mess with my cat! xo

Graduation Announcement Photo Shoot

Graduation is just around the corner. My sweet cousin, Abie, came to Fort Collins to take some photos of Blake for her graduation announcements. I am always blown away by Abie's talent. She does an amazing job. We got some fantastic shots of Blake.

We took a field trip around Fort Collins looking for fun places to take photos. We walked along the train tracks high over a wide river hoping a train was not coming any time soon. My heart was beating out of my chest, definately a "Stand By Me" moment. Phew!

Colorado State Cheerleading Competition

State was this weekend at the Coliseum in Denver. Blake's team did fantastic. They never have any competition in Colorado, so they received the State Championship by just showing up. There were 3 other Level 5 teams at the competition in other divisions, her team had the highest overall score and received Grand Champions in the Level 5 Division. Woo Hoo! Dallas, here we come! xo

Hog Hunt in Oklahoma

In Clay's words . . . Evan is a pig killer. He is deadly with the .300. Looks like I am going to be shooting the 30-06 now. Evan got 3 pigs. Didn’t even let me shoot.

They traveled to Oklahoma over the weekend and met up with good friend, Jeff. They had a blast! Evan called to tell me he is bringing home souvenirs, pig feet. Hmmmm, I don't know how I feel about that. ;o)

Gotcha!

Blake's team competed over the weekend in Denver. They did amazing! Our family enjoyed a nice dinner at the Cheesecake Factory following the competition. Evan sure is cute in his Cheer Central attire! Click . . . Gotcha!

Snow Day!!

Frigid weather closed Fort Collins schools today. The kids were going stir-crazy at home so I asked them to meet me at my office to eat lunch. ToothZone offers a fun two-story play area that is a good time for all kiddos who visit the dentist here. It's a pretty big temptation for little ones. As the pictures show, my teenagers can't resist either. xo
