Man's...or rather girl's best friend

Hannah headed outside to play with our puppy Belle today, and the sunny afternoon just seemed to lend itself to some picture taking. I couldn't seem to stop taking pictures of my beautiful daughter and our fun puppy!


Gotta love that first grade smile!




Here's Belle! She is such a great puppy.



That's my girls

Money sucking fun spot?.....

The chickens and I went to Chuck E. Cheese today and I found myself wondering why I had volunteered to enter this "fun zone" and pour my money frivolously into their cash register... So the kids could run around like crazie's, play goofy games and collect tickets to pick out "prizes" that we could have bought twenty times over with the money it cost to play the games in the first place? But the fighting over tokens, cying tired baby, and a mommy on the edge aside, I had to think back to when I was a child and memories I have of the magical Chuck E. Cheese- with the most fabulous pizza, those awe inspiring robotic characters (playing in a cool band), and the funnest games anywhere that led to those awesome "prizes". Isn't it amazing how 20 some odd years can change your perspective? Anyway the kids had a blast, and here are some pictures to help me look past the frivolously spent money and remember how magical Chuck E. Cheese was when we were kids.

New blogger comin your way!!!

Sooo...I caved from the pressure, and have decided to become a blogger! I figure I can at least use this medium to stay in touch with family, mainly those living in Utah (you know who you are..) I don't have any photos to post yet or anything, but give me some time and I'm sure I will be blogging with the best of you, maybe.
