L is for lollipop. M is for mountain. N is for needle. O is for octopus. P is for...? Q is for quilt. R is for rocket. S is for sandwich. T is for tv. U is for umbrella. V is for violin. W is for whale. X is for x-ray. Y is for yo-yo. Z is for ...?

See if you can figure out the two that are missing, this one took me a long time and a little bit of help from BK.

Are you T W I N S ? ? ?

AND THE ANSWER ONCE AGAIN IS NOOOO!!! Thought we needed to clear this one up one more time here...Karis asked me at dinner one night during our visit, "are you and Lacey twins?" I said, "no, why do you think that?" Karis replied, "well, you just look a lot the same." We beg to differ! :) And Karis is not the first person to ask this, it has become more commonly asked lately...

Lou's photo shoot trial run...

ahh oh so composed! I think we got a lot more funny photos than serious and nice ones but thats Lacey for ya! ;)

FAJITA NIGHT GET TOGETHER!

We were finally able to get some of the gang back together for a night of fajitas and lots of catching up! Thanks to all of you that were able to attend! :)

ZOO & AQUARIUM at Point Defiance

Trip to the zoo and aquarium! Christina, Brian, Lacey, Kyle, Karis and Kaylie had a shark full of fun time even though it was cold and rainy at the zoo that day. We saw sharks getting fed, got to pet starfish and saw a tiger and a really grumpy monkey!

sleep over !

Sleepover's with the Smith family! Thanks again for letting us crash, mia had a blast chasing Ian and Syd around! :)

Captain Brian Morgan, MD :)

the new sneaky trick

we often hide treats or toys on top of mia's kennel "room" so she figured how to jump onto the second shelf of our end table to get it. here is the guilty culprit!

dunna dunna dunna CUPCAKE POPS!

these are even better!!

yaay!! I mastered the pigeon!!!

the original Pigeon inspiration

more pigeon trials...THIS WAS HARD!

do I look like a pigeon?

this was the first trial run with pigeon cake balls...

Happy Valentine's Day "sweetie"

Jan/Feb misc.

Mia playing hide and seek with Brian...

Mia sleeping...AGAIN!

poker night fun

The Butzens hosted a poker night and we had a blast! Brian thought he had won, more than once, before the dealer realized he did not....sorry Brian! But we got to see Brian do a funny dance to celebrate anyway!

Happy Birthday Julie!

Julie the birthday girl!

ITS FEBRUARY! and its still snowing...

all snowed in :)...AGAIN!

mia licked the iron...

what exactly happens when a dog licks a hot iron? Mia licked it today and then kept sticking her tongue out like she had eaten something bad... is her tongue burnt? any ideas???

Brian's early Birthday gift! (and mine!)

I decided to take the one and only baby photo that we found of Brian, when he was a baby in the orphanage in korea, and RESTORE IT! He was post call today, when I gave it to him as a surprise, so I am sure he will appreciate it more after he has gotten some more sleep!

p.s. Judy, I have one coming to you!!! :)

keeping warm in the cold !

Mia is small and gets cold easily...so...she often snuggles inside my sweatshirt or coat, peeking her head out of the top to get air! Its nice and warm for her and keeps me warm and snuggly too!

Snowboarding 101

Brian took me out at another attempt snowboarding. :) awww what a good hubby! He even let me wear his boots and board, we skipped the helmet this time around! I've learned how to go more slowly, moving from side to side so that I don't fly down the mountain (sorry hill!) and faceplant...again! THANKS BK I HEART YOU!

cranberry in a can?

This has become one of our "family traditions" although Brian initially introduced it. This is Ocean Spray cranberry mush that comes in a can, and yes when it slides out it still takes the shaped form of the can! I know it sounds gross but I love it! Our thanksgiving and christmas meals would not be the same without it!

Happy New Years!!!

We celebrated New Years (some of us more than others!) with our friends and had quite a party! Charlie celebrated as well and wore his pimped out party hat for a little while in celebration!
