Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. - Steve Jobs

Gidget


Here's a random slew of pictures of Gidget. I love her little squished face.



Nap time.


Mysha snuggles Gidget. Gidget snuggles her fishing pole. Perfect way to sleep.


Seriously. Common. I dare you to say that's not cute.


Mmmmm......what is this?


I love how Seth doesn't even care she's checking out his head.


I guess this isn't Gidget, but it was too cute not to post.


So one day I was finishing up a bath & letting the tub drain. I heard a giant splash, a cat MEOW!, and then saw a soaking wet cat streak across the kitchen. Ha! She's fallen in twice now. The second time I was in the tub & she took my book in with her. Just made her more curious about water.

I made sugar cookies one night for Christmas. When I woke up the next morning the towel was on the floor and cookies looked like fossils of footprints.

I wonder who could do such a thing. Surely the paw prints will help us determine the trespassor.


Guilty.


Just a regular bed right.


Some crumply sheets.

But if you sit on the crumple, it squeaks and puts claws in your behind. I learned that one the hard way.

Nose bites are kind of like butterfly kisses in Gidgets world. It's her way of expressing affection.


Her favorite spot.


Easter.




So easily entertained.


Bet you guys can't wait to eat off our dishes.

Haircut


I can't believe Jake's hair actually got this long.


It was a hard decision


but he cut it for the greater good of mankind.


All 16 inches will be sent to Lock of Love.





Santa Run



Nothing like running 3 miles dressed in a santa outfit.




Along with hundreds of other santas.




They served milk & cookies as snacks along the way.



Hence all the energy.


Cheri and I had a good time dorking it out along the way.


Rocking it out.


The boys accompanied us and cheered us on.





So did PJ.









Mullet santas.











Turning 30


I threw a birthday party for myself this year and made everyone play silly birthday games. One game included touching your forhead to a ceral box with out touching your knees or hands to the floor. Every round, the ceral box got shorter & shorter.

The girls rocked the competition. Jake and Jon were out in the first two rounds.

Shawn hung in there the entire time impressing us with his flexibility. He finally failed out the last round.


Jayda was the most flexible.


Sorry for this picture Cherie. Butt, I love it! Hee hee.

Eye Surgery


Here's a pic of mom directly after her eye surgery. I caught her in a medicated state and therfore scored the picture below. Muahahahahaha.



Halloween


We had a small party on Halloween. I had fun decorating and making costumes for it.

Jon decorated my zen garden for me.

I had to make Jake a viking before we cut his hair. This pic makes me miss it.




Jon's bull balls.




Devan made a perfect fryer for the evening.


I'm winning if you can't tell.




Devan blessing our poor lost souls.


Mysha was the cutest witch that evening. She wore her costume like a champ.


Gidget did not wear her costume like a champ. It last all of 5 minutes, but I got a good pic out of it.


The happy viking family.
