Dog Haircut



After spending way too much money to get JR's haircut about two months ago I decided I could do it. I went and bought clippers in the section by the shampoos and things. I had no idea you could get doggie clipper's in the pet section. Then I took the dog up and cut his hair, as you can see there are no photos of the first haircut! He didn't look great so I didn't take a photo of him. But now this last time I am proud of my work. He looks like I took him to the groomer. He is a patient doggie I had to try about four or five times till I got it right. We also have the peticure for hi long nails. Goodbye groomer!!

Making Pasta/Bread with Dad






Sean was making us pasta one night and Madison jumped in to help, she always helps Dad cook. She wanted to make bread so they did.
I didn't take a picture of the finished product but it tasted like the
big pretzels you get at the store.
She also made a HO HO bread glop and a penguin one.

Christmas has been set up

This is the tree in the Front room. Madison had to hold the dog and Figaro.
If you notice she made Figaro a furry coat. Why you ask, I really have no idea!

For some reason and now I don't know why, I have a blue, silver and white tree for the front room.
It is usually in my kitchen in Las Vegas.


If you look close you can see Tinkerbelle on the top of the tree. This is the tree in the Family room. In case you were wondering it is mostly red and other colors.

Another shot of Madison and Figaro with the tree. I was lazy this year there are only six strands of lights on the outside of the house and last year I put up 3 trees one in the loft upstairs. I didn't feel like doing it this year. I'm getting lazy or just don't care either way at least I put Christmas up this year. I almost just put up a tiny tree and said there we go until we went to Disneyland. They always have the most beautiful decorations and I bought a few to put up. It always makes me happy to look at the tree and be reminded of where the ornaments came from. Also since I always think I need more ornaments for the tree I don't mind buying them on vacations. Fun reminders of fantastic times. I just need a "Welcome to Las Vegas" ornament.




Baking Day




Every year the Monday after Thanksgiving, we gather together and do a girls baking day. It
usually consists of dipping chocolate more the "baking". These were the only two pictures I got due to my hands either being covered in chocolate or water from washing dishes.
