Bad Girl Millie

For some reason Millie is obsessed with the light hanging over my dining room table. She thinks it is a cat toy. I moved it up so she can't reach it now but had to video her playing with it.

Tim & Nicole's Wedding in Steamboat Springs, CO

My cousin Tim was married in Steamboat Springs in August.

We enjoyed the sightseeing around Steamboat. They have an Alpine Slide down the mountain. Mom & I gave it a try! So much fun that we went down a few more times!

Me, Dad & Katie going down the slide.

In one of the cute local shops.

Ben, Katie, Erika & me on the Gondola to the top of the mountain.

Dad, Mom & Aunt Karen on the Gondola ride.

We all made it to the top. Dad, Mom, Ben, me, Katie, Aunt Karen & Erika.

Cousins - Ben, me, Katie & Erika. I had to stand on the rock & on my tiptoes to not appear so short. I am amongst the tall ones.

Look how tall I look!

Love this photo!!

McKenzie: 1997-2010

We are all very sad today at the loss of our beloved dog McKenzie. She was a wonderful dog and brought us all 13 years of joy, laughter and loyalty. She will be missed by all of us, especially her favorite human, Dad.

Her favorite toy, Pete the Parachuting Parakeet.

Her favorite place, Mason Lake. Racing into the lake to retrieve a tennis ball.

The look of success!

In the "Wood Grain Van" her favorite mode of transportation.

One year when it snowed we buried her in the snow and she just loved it.

Had to be one of the girls. We put our feet in and she joined with her paw.

For Rent

I decided to help my parents try and rent a new piece of property they had. I posted a For Rent sign and waited to see who would respond. Well finally someone moved in a few months ago. I had been waiting to meet the new tenants and today I finally saw them!

The sign should really come down now but I don't want to disrupt our new tenants. You can see two of them sticking their heads out.

Three squeezed into one window.

Waiting for Momma to bring them some food.

Still waiting...

I missed Momma bird feeding the babies but caught them anxiously waiting for breakfast.

Hagia Sophia (Istanbul)

One of my favorite sites was Hagia Sophia. It was built as a Christian Church, later converted into a Mosque and is currently a museum.

The dome was not constructed correctly so you can see how it is not longer perfectly circular.
