Fun Times with Family...

So while we were in HSB... we let loose and were like college kids again!! Its been a while, Since kiersten has been in our life, I can't remember a night where we have went out drinking with friends.
Anyhow we went to Jeni and Cody's house and had a wonderful time playing beer pong.

The pictures unfortunately have disappeared.

I have to also tell the story of  the ghost in Jeni and Cody's house.  So there have been many stories of a ghost that lives in their house, he's known as Daddy Monster.  I'm not sure I believe but I also can't say I don't believe.  While we were up playing this night and once we went to bed something strange did occur.  George and I were laying in bed falling asleep when we heard Cody and Jeni's dog Nickle come running down the stairs.  She stopped at the end of the bed room door and refused to come into the room we were sleeping in.  She looked at us with a very strange look as if she was looking clear through us.  Then she proceeded to make a vomiting sound, continued to stair at us and then turned around and ran right back up stairs.  Both George and I thought this was VERY strange.  Kiersten was sleeping in the pack and play at our feet.  I asked George if he thought we should grab her and he said yes but would not go get her.  I got up and grabbed Kiersten and placed her in the bed with us.  Next thing we hear is the stomping of foot steps on the ceiling.  Thinking everyone is asleep this got us even more freaked out.  I love George to death but he was not getting out of the bed.  When I asked him if he wanted me to go check out the noise he said yes.  At the time I did it, and it was just Jeni putting wood on the fire.  Moral of the story my husband is afraid of ghosts!! haha

Christmas....In boise 12/29/08

Wow the Christmas holiday went by so fast. We went to Boise for 5 days and then were suppose to go to Orofino for 5 days. Our vacations was cut a little short due to all the snow back at home. We did however have a great time visiting family and friends. There was a big group of us that went skiing/snowboarding on one of our days down in HSB. It was a great time but all of my pictures are mssing! :(

Here is a picture from when we were wrapping gifts!

Kiersten's first Christmas. 12/25/08

She had a blast and got spoiled by both families.  She did open gifts but I think her favorite part...was sitting on top of the wrapped boxes.  Unfortunately, the pictures are missing!! 

Nightmare in North Idaho....

So yesterday I worked a 12 hour shift. So I went to work at 630 am and got home at 8pm. By the time I got home from work we had 13 inches. As of now we have about 28 inches total since yesterday morning and it is still snowing. We got news from George's work this morning that they were not opening. So he is home. He was out shoveling but has decided that he doesn't want to keep up...and he is going to buy a snow blower!! He is at Lowe's as we speak!! Well I'm going to upload some snowing pics and then I'm off!!  *Over the years the blog pictures disappeared so I'm getting them back up but I can't find these pictures in my collection.  The following are pictures that my neighbor took during this crazy snowy time.
Once George got home with the snow blower we literally blew out paths through the yard for the dogs, poor Digger who is a brand new puppy couldn't even get to the deck because of all the snow.   This first picture is looking at George and I's vehicles in our front driveway from the neighbors house.

Kiersten's first "SHINER"

So Kiersten got her first black eye a couple days ago. She was playing, looking out the window and went to fall straight back. But instead, she decided to turn to her right to catch herself, and she turned right into the coffee table. Her eye swelled instantly, and became bright red around her eye. She had a big gash beside her eye and it was bleeding. I gave her some Motrin (I'm sure she had a headache after this fall and hopefully it helped with the swelling) and put her to bed shortly after. She woke up the next morning with a big shiner, I knew she would. So here is a picture of our little "Rocky" herself!

Welcome to our family, Digger!!

Well we officially got another dog. His name is Digger, we aren't sure what his papered name is going to be yet. We haven't figured that out. So his name may change haha. Anyhow he is 8 week old chocolate puppy. So now we have 2 chocolate labs. Hershey absolutely loves him. She has someone to play with all the time. Kiersten on the other hand, isn't so sure about Digger, He pounces on her head every chance he gets. She is getting better at pushing him away though.... (she will learn with time.) So here are some picture of Digger, Hershey, and Kiersten, our children.

Santa...

We went and got our picture taken on Santa's lap for the first time... Kiersten didn't cry....just starred, like she always dose. She watched Santa for a bit and then sat on his lap and starred at the camera for a while!! Here is her first Santa photo!!
