Wes and his baby...

You know how they say dogs and their owners start to look a like?  I think they could both use a grooming!!

 I know the picture is a little blurry, but I had to post it anyway because is was so cute!

Wes's pride and joy...

While I was at home with my family in Olympia, Wes got some of his guy friends together and went on an overnight fishing trip!  Here's our boat that Fred, Wes's step dad, gave to him, and there's Mitzy in the back.  Overall he said it was a fun trip and the boat ran really well so needless to say he's getting pretty pumped about summer!

My sister Emy does what's called "Love Month" every February for her huby Trevor.  So everyday in February she does something for Trevor to show she loves him.  I know, what a great wife, eh!!  She emailed her family and friends a bunch of ideas to do for thier spouses.  I didn't get around to doing something everyday for Wes, it's quite a challenge while working full time 12 hour shifts, some days we don't even see each other!  Anyway one day I did make him a heart shaped oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.  Which I thought was really cute and even more delicious than my normal cookies (which I don't mean to brag but are amazing cookies!!)  He thought it was cool and I think I maybe ate more of it than he did, but it's the thought that counts!!

Just for Benson...

Chelsea said Benson couldn't get enough of the last video of Mitzy I put online so here's another one for him to enjoy!

Updates

While I was in Utah Wes bought and installed a new dishwasher, which matches the over the range microwave that he installed about a month ago. Its so nice to have a dishwasher that works well! We know that our stove looks kind of dumb, but we'll replace that and make it match when that breaks!

Wes also decided to take it upon himself to decorate our living room! He went out and bought the lamps and vases and it really looks great. He's way better at that kind of stuff than I am. He also replaced the battery in my car and got it running again. I don't know...maybe I should go out of town more often!

Sister's Weekend

Spending the weekend with Chelsea and Jena in Utah. We've been shopping, we saw Blind Side, eating at delicious restaurants and pampering ourselves a bit! We've had a blast, I love spending time with my sisters! We really missed mom, Emy and Heather though!!

Christmas 2009

Emily and Jacob (Wes's sister and brother in law)

Emily and Leychee Boy

Wes and Mitzy, she really didn't like these antlers, but they were so cute we had to get a picture or two!

Tired Linda on Christmas morning after a late night!

Emily and Jacob came up from California to spend Christmas with us this year and we had an excellent time! Everyone stayed up at our house from Christmas Eve until the 28th. We played some Beatles rockband, ate some amazing food and spent quality time together by the fire! We kept the house nice and warm so Emily and Jacob wouldn't freeze up here in the Northwest! Em and Jacob gave us Wii for Christmas!! We were a little shocked and really didn't expect such an awesome gift, we only gave them a new Wii game with an extra controller! I know how lame of us!! I had to work Christmas Eve but I got home at around 8:00 and made some German Pancakes for everyone before opening presents. I was lucky enough to get to stay home on call for Christmas night instead of having to work, so I got extra time with the family! Overall we had an awesome Christmas and really enjoyed having the whole family together at our home!
