Cutting the cake.

All Dogs Go To Heaven

Well, by now most of you have heard that Kook has moved on to the next life. We had him for about 13 years now and of all the dogs we had, and we've had some good ones, he really was the best. He so gentle and loving, and he loved everyone, especially little children. He would always greet you with a smile and a friendly howl, and his tail wagging was legendary. His tail was a good 2 1/2 inches thick up to about 5" from the end and when he wagged it his whole rear end swayed (pretty impressive for a dog that weighed 100 pounds), and anything from whatever was on the coffee table to little children would be knocked down. I want to thank GK for this great picture of a great dog. We will really miss him.

Don and April...

have joined ranks. Check out the link to their blog. I'm still in Utah for Aimee's Party. It was lovely, she was beautiful and we're very proud of her and Chris. When I get home I'll post some pictures.

Veterans Day

In honor of Veteran's Day, here's a picture of Dad in his early day of military service. Mom says that they patrolled the beach along Southern California with trained military attack dogs. This was just before Dad volunteered for Underwater Demolition Team (UDT). So thank you to Dad (Coast Guard/Navy) and Mom's brother Uncle Paul Lewis (Air Force) for their service to our country and freedom.
And while we're at it, thank you to Joey Bainbridge and Daniel Baxter (both Air Force) and Jason Risser (Coast Guard) for the service they're giving now. Hats off!

Yahoo... Chelsea's on Board

Becky just told me that Chelsea has started a blog. I've linked it on to ours. Check it out. I look forward to meeting baby Emma when I go up for Aimee's wedding in a few weeks (actually less than 2 weeks now... nervous Aimee?????)

Birthday Boyz

In honor of Jeff and cousin Mike's birthdays, I thought I'd post old pictures of them. Always partners in crime, it seems appropriate the dates are back to back.


Mike's birthday is Monday, November 5. This is a Mike and Sam (the Wonder Wiener dog... not as wonderful as Pansy the Wonder Dog but pretty darn close). If you'd like to send Mike a card his address is:
23981 Austust Court
Paoloa, KS 66071


Jeff's Big Day is Tuesday, November 6. This is a picture of Jeff when he worked at Magic Mountain (a.k.a. Thrill Hill, a.k.a. Happy Hump). He worked in the game section which I'm sure doesn't exist anymore. Maybe Jeff can make a comment and tell us more about the picture. Happy Birthday Big Guy!

Halloween 2007

Halloween at Jeff's house. We strolled the dark, (the very dark) streets with numerous neighbors and friends that had stopped by.

Grandma never looked so good....NOT!
