I Miss My Computer!!

So, last Sunday, my laptop decided to fizzle, hopefully not for good. It's currently visiting the computer doctor to see if there is a remedy for it's affliction. In the meantime, I'm forced to borrow Becky's or use my ancient PC in my basement that is slower than molasses, blah, blah, blah!! So, I hope to be able to post something soon. I didn't want to hassle with downloading my pics on Becky's computer and then have to delete them so you'll all just have to wait. But I liked this pic that Becky took of Kiona & I on Christmas so I'll just include it for now!

Is Winter Over Yet???

It's been snowing for over 24 hours non-stop!!! It took me 2 hours & 15 minutes to get home from work last night (normally takes 15 minutes!). One of my neighbors (thankfully) had snow blown my walkway, driveway, and sidewalk but you wouldn't know it this morning. There was another good foot out there this morning...took over 2 hours to get it shoveled and at least another inch had accumulated by the time I finished.

Believe it or not, I have no hat on!!!

Teddy Bear Toss w/the Spokane Chiefs!

The Spokane Chiefs held their annual Teddy Bear Toss Night tonight! Fans are encouraged to bring new or slightly used teddy bears & stuffed animals to be distrubuted to less fortunate kids in the Spokane area. The rules are....when the Chiefs score their first goal, let 'em fly!! We didn't have to wait long...we scored less than 4 minutes into the game. It's always fun to watch and this year they collected 4,067, a new record for Spokane!! A great cause!

Reagan giving my bear bunny ears while the team warms up!

Let 'em fly....watch your head, here they come!! :-)

A local Ford dealership loaned the team 3 trucks to load 'em all up. Players & volunteers get them all picked up in probably 10-15 minutes (I didn't watch the clock, but it's always quick considering the big number!! The biggest bear of all (Chiefs mascot, Boomer) took a ride in the last truck off the ice!

What a nut!!

Final Score....Spokane Chiefs 6, Kootenay Ice 2 (We led 5-1 after1)

Turkey Day!!

We had Turkey Day at Becky's this year....she did a fab-u-lous job!!

(Except for desserts and Lisa's yams, she planned & made everything else!!)

She even invited everyone to come for breakfast...

Playing games & goofing off in between breakfast & the big feast!!


Getting ready for the feast....

Dessert anyone??

Way to go Beckerina....ya done good!! I certainly left fat & happy!! :-)

Reagan Turns 7!!!

The adorable birthday boy!!!

The Cake!! Wyatt Cooke getting excited and then having some fun with Caelyn Foster.

You can't see it really well, but Wyatt likes to just stick his tongue out so Caelyn was doing it right back...they were so cute!!

"When can I start opening my presents???"

Holding 2-month old Luke Foster...he's soooo cute and notice the cute camo outfit that Becky got for him. His dad is a big hunter!! Also, Beckett Cooke. (The Cooke boys are Reagan & Kaylee's 2nd cousins...their Dad is Lisa's cousin.)

The birthday boy looking tired but happy to be sportin' his new Pittsburgh Penguins outfit from Grandma & Grandpa Z while holding his dog Spotty who also got a new outfit...a Spokane Chiefs uniform from Aunt Tammy. Can you tell the boy likes hockey??

Happy Birthday, buddy....love ya lots!!

Reagan playing Hockey!

About once a month some of the friends rent an ice rink in Coeur d'Alene to play hockey for an hour on a Friday night. Brian likes to go and he's been taking Reagan along to let him get on the ice and practice. He usually just hangs in the corners and along the boards to stay out of the way of the big guys. They played this past Friday and Kaylee wanted to go watch so Becky & I took her and we went out and watched.

Here's Reagan practicing his passing with another boy that was there. Reagan is in red.

Coming over to the glass to say "hi" to Kaylee.

Kaylee & Becky goofing off waiting for Reagan to come out when they were all done.
