The Bear & I

Yellowstone brought down some baby bears to Sportsman's Warehouse in SLC so I went out and stood in line for a while to get my picture taken with one. Mommy is still in Hibernation this is one of 6 that they had there. They only brought them out one at a time and if you had your picture taken with one you could hold one otherwise you only got to watch others get their picture taken. This little cutie was very tired and squirmy but well worth the wait.

What ya doin?

Nat asked for a post (be careful what you ask for)!

Fun in the snow

The boys sure like to stick close to their favorite sister (oh yea there's daddy shoveling in the back ground of course there are none of mom since she's taking the pictures)

Our new baby Stuart seems to like the snow

Emme helping clean of the van, she is her mommy's little helper

Drewbee all bundled up for the cold

Clee and Stuart (Clee was having a bad day normally he is thrilled to be outside regardless of the weather but he was out of school all last week and he really misses his school)

Andrew and Stuart

My new Granddog

Emme is certainly hooked

This is Stuart he is a bichon-poo and he seems to be fitting in just perfectly I can't wait to meet this little guy!

Thought I'd Beat Andrew to the Punch

You've probably all seen this as it was sent to me via email a couple of days ago enjoy (I can so see this coming out of Andrew's mouth):

This one is for everyone who...
a) has kids
b) had kids
c) was a kid
d) knows a kid
e) is going to have kids.
I guess that means all of us!!

DADDY'S GONNA EAT YOUR FINGERS

I was packing for my business trip and my three year old daughter
was having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At one point she
said,'Daddy, look at this' , and stuck out two of her fingers.

Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her tiny
fingers in my mouth and said,
'Daddy's gonna eat your fingers,'
pretending to eat them.

I went back to packing, looked up again and my daughter was standing
on the bed staring at her fingers with a devastated look on her face.

I said, 'What's wrong, honey?'

She replied,
'What happened to my booger?'

Happy Birthday Pam (and me)

My sister Pam and my birthdays are fairly close so we shared a birthday party on Super Bowl Sunday. She made me cut the cake and I forgot to take the picture until after I started cutting (Ooooops). Happy Birthday tomorrow Pam!!!!!
