The cutiest dog in the world is my new dog/nephew..... Moosie.

I just got to hold my new nephew-dog, Moose. I'm not sure what his nickname will be yet. I prefer to call people in my family by nicknames. It's just my thing. Anyways, Lexi and Matt picked him up today and I got to hold him about an hour ago. HE IS THE CUTIEST THING EVER!!!! THE CUTIEST THING!!! YOU COULD EAT HIM WITH A SPOON, HE'S SO CUTE!!! Lexi will have pictures going up soon on her blog. I took some with her camera of him falling asleep on Matt's leg. Awwww....... ADORABLE. You can be assured that there will be lots of pictures on this blog of Moose. I'm a sucker for a cute dog and he is no exception. We even got some of Luke holding him. This is going to be the most spoiled dog ever. We haven't had a puppy in 10 years and Jackson has never been around one. We are in for some serious fun. And on another front, I helped shop vac the upstairs at mom and dad's house today... Why yes, you guessed it,..... they are laying the floors. I'm trying not to faint here. Mom and Dad will be moving in soon. I need to go lay down somewhere. This is just too much to take in for the day after Christmas.

Pics I found from 2002 I think

I was cleaning upstairs and rearranging furniture and found these photos from a few years ago (pre-jackson and matt). We were in Park City Utah and they were preparing for the Winter Olympics there. What a beautiful place.
Me, Dad, and Lexi (dad and I blend in well and buy our clothes at the same place)

Tubing down the hill and Luke videotaping (for some people..well o.k. me... this would be a challenge but he can ski and videotape at the same time and I mean pretty much any hill you throw at him.) Tubing is awesome. The ropes would pull us to to the top and we'd all latch on and ride down the hill together... laughing all the way. Hey, we are easily entertained.

lexi and dad tubing (but hey, i was the one who took this picture so I can do two things at once... just don't add gum to the mix)

Dad snowmobiling ( I think this was the trip that he and mom tipped over... luke and I look back and they are laying over in a snowbank because mom wouldn't let dad go very fast when she was on and but he took a turn too fast and then you know the rest)

A Kean Thanksgiving complete with placecards

O.K. found my picture. Whew. My frig just wouldn't have been complete.
These are the place cards that Ashley made and had on the table at Thanksgiving. The Keans were pilgrims and we were Indians. Jo and Mik (as you will see ... were both). Aunt Kim and Uncle Bryan had to be hand drawn. I think this means that Ashley needs a picture of them! These placecards were hilarious and as you guessed....these are being laminated and turned into magnets for my frig. I mean come on, it's just a given. If anyone is wondering where these got off too... I took them and I'm not giving them back. Love you!

Some Christmas Photos

Well, I rarely get his hair right on photo day. Normally it's like a rag mop but Luke took him for a cut a few days ago and they really got after him with the sizzors. Oh well. We had a good time anyways. (And we only fell in the creek once... but hey, it was 62 degrees so we were o.k.)

Twist and Shout or maybe it's Twist and Squeal....

What's better than to get your aunt on the The Sit and Spin and have her Spin till she throws up or at the very least turns very green. What a trooper Lexi is. She's going to make a great mom. But maybe this means that I'm going to have to sit on one of these things and entertain her kids one day. yep, that's probably it. I think it's called payback.
"Let me turn you faster!"

Yeah, Yeah!

Very good Aunt Fru! Very good.

Look at the picture I found.

Just found this picture of me taken in Kindergarden, 1981. Wow. I've aged. This will be Jackson in another year. Time flies.
