John's cousin, Darren and his wife Kristi, stopped by on Sunday. Colorado was the first stop on their fourth month long trip to Asia. I wish them all the best. I couldn't handle four months on the road. I secretly hope they are going to appear on the Amazing Race. They deny it but I suppose they couldn't tell us even if they wanted to. How fun would that be??!! And yes Darren is SUPER tall.


Lanie carved some pumpkins with Grandma.


John got Lanie dressed this morning. A blue and white Denver Nuggets onesie and pink pants....pretty sweet outfit, Dad!

We are off to Phoenix on Friday to meet little Sal Ray. They have decided to call him Sal not quad, four, and sadly not baby Ray Ray. I am pretty excited to go. Lanie will meet her new first cousin!

More pics...

Here are a couple more of my favorites...

Super Senior Pictures

Family Pictures

We had family photos taken last Friday and here are a couple of them. Of course, John and I got a couple super "senior" pictures taken. They are pretty sweet!! Lanie is too darn adorable!! I will add more later.

Sleepy Baby

I am so tired from playing, I plain passed out in my Baby Einstein.

Boing-gah, Boing-gah, Boing-gah

Hey...how you doin'? The Urich's loaned us this "Johnny Jump Up" as my mother likes to call it. We had one when I was a baby and my mom said that I LOVED it. Lanie spent an hour in it the first time she tried it out. I hope she continues to enjoy it. I wish they made them for big kids....hee hee.

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Our little pumpkin

Watch out! Creepy guy is staring you down.

Lanie made her first visit to the pumpkin patch last night. I think we enjoyed ourselves more than she did as you can see by the pictures. I think it will be tons of fun next year!

Hanging out with Mommy!

Gag me

Oh, gag me! That is what I think of the earrings that Mommy put on me.

Yeah, some oldies and not so goodies. The clip on earrings Mommy wore to the prom in '95. Yes, they matched the sequins on her dress.
I am bundled up for my early morning walk with my puppies. It was only 43 degrees. Soon I will have to wear my cozy snow suit. My Great Grandma Jean sent me this cute hat!
