How Cute

His smiles are getting bigger and bigger, I can't wait tell he starts laughing.

Growin Up

Puppies

Here's a couple pictures of our litter of puppies. Aren't they cute? They will be ready to go to their new homes in a few weeks. They turned out really cute. Bet we keep one. The names are: Vixen, Coal, Mocha, Star and Marley. We tried to find Christmas names for them since they were born in December. Vixen got her name because she has a white "V" on her chest and that was the only "V" name we could think of (besides Virgin), Coal is for "lump of Coal", Mocha for a hot chocolate flavor, Star has a white star on her chest and Marley is after Jacob Marley, the ghost on A Christmas Carol. Plus, the movie Marley and Me came out on Christmas and I loved the book. Well, anyway, the pups are cute as they can be and have been a lot of fun. I posted them on ustream.tv/channel/puppy-tales for the family to watch the puppies grow. It's been fun.

Trip to Utah

I added these pictures a week or so ago but didn't have time to write anything. My trip to Logan was soo fun. It started off with Jake and Ashley picking me up at the airport and taking me to dinner. Then we went to their house to see what's new. They have new furniture!! Then they took me (and Jaxon) to Layton where Buff and Carla met us and took us the rest of the way to Logan. Let's see......we rode the Frontrunner train to Salt Lake to see the lights at temple square, I got to see my new grandson Stone, we had a New Year's Eve bash and mother and dads, we went to see Marley and Me on New Years day, we ate lots of good food along the way. We had so much food for New Years Eve we were eating the left overs for days. Friday Jaxon and I rode to SLC with Tyson for the wedding rehearsal. That was fun to spend that time with him. Then, Saturday the big wedding day finally arrived. We all got ready and then drove to Salt Lake. The wedding was beautiful!! Ashley was gorgeous, Jake was handsome and it was a very beautiful, classy wedding. After the wedding I took Jake's little girls to their mom and we drove home. I was wore out!! All that smiling...whew! And all those pictures!!! There were over 600 pictures to look at after the wedding. Sunday was a day to hang out with the family. We ate lunch at Carla and Lorens house. Albert and Kim were down for the wedding, as well as Buff coming home, so we all got to be together for a picture. Monday morning came way to fast and it was time to get back on the airplane. The airport was so busy it made me nervous. Laura took us down but we didn't even get to hug goodbye. The mean airport police made her pull away from the curve before we could say goodbye. All went well, in spite of my nerves and we made it home with out a hitch.

Amber Graduates From USU

Amber graduated college today. Look how happy she is. She has worked so hard and stuck with school through thick and thin. I couldn't be prouder of her. Here she is walking to the stadium to her graduation ceremony. It snow today, a lot, so they had to trudge through the snow but, actually, it makes a real pretty picture. Hopefully I will get some more pictures to add to the blog. These pictures are some Carla took for me. Thanks Carla, you are awesome!

Farnsworth First Chirstmas

On our front door we have a wreath and Happy Holidays, Our little stocking on the railing, and our first chirstmas tree. Its kinda little but its still cute!

Columbus Zoo - Wildlights

Yesterday afternoon we went to the Columbus Zoo. They decorate with Christmas lights and it was amazing and fun. It was a little cold but not too bad. There's enough inside critters to see that if we got cold we just went in a building. We saw all the snakes, reptiles, elephants and in one of the pictures is a flying fox. It looks like a bat but it's huge and creepy. If one of those landed on me I would die of fright. They are as big as a small dog. Yuck!! Jaxon was able to visit with Santa at the zoo. There were tons of people. Probably more people at the zoo than there was in the summer. When we left there were long lings of car headlights coming up the road to the zoo. We decided it would be a yearly thing to do, at least as long as we're here in Ohio. When we got home I made us a homemade pizza. It was a fun outing for us.

Jaxon's Gingerbread House

Jaxon spent the morning working on his gingerbread house. I think he did a pretty good job.

Christmas decorating

This is some of the decorating we have been busy
doing. We still have more to do. I really like the plant shelf by the front door. We won't be doing any outside lights this year. At least, not yet. We plan to just have our blow up snow globe. It's really weird to be here and doing all this decorating knowing that almost none of my family will see it....Only in pictures. Hope you all have as much fun decorating as we have had.

Thanksgiving 2008

This is what our Thanksgiving table looked like this year. It's a bit meager

but it was a nice dinner. I think we needed a much larger table with a

lot more family around it...maybe next year.

Preferably alive, :)
