Christmas Card

My parents came to visit this weekend for some Christmas shopping and hanging out. We had a great time, and they even taught us to play a domino game called 42. I am terrible, but it was fun to learn a new game. My aunt and uncle (Tonya and Rick) were also in town, so we got to have lunch with them on Saturday. It was a really great weekend! Since we had captive photographers, Bryan and Adi and I got decked out in our Christmas outfits for a possible Christmas Card picture.

They say that in the movie or television business you do not want to work with children or animals. Now I understand why. There were many, many outtakes.

She does this move a lot...usually when she wants us to scratch her neck. I promise I'm not pulling hard on her leash...she really is performing her famous neck scratch move.

Even treats proved to be of minimal assistance. Dad, had the magic touch. He proved to be able to hold treats over to the side and appear very interesting while Mom snapped the camera. I told him that since he's retired he could get a part-time job as a pet photographer.

This is our grinch and dog out in the front yard. Due to time constraints and our 4-legged baby, we did not due decorations inside this year. I guess that does make us a little bit "grinch-like".

And, here is a great photo of Mom and I.

1st Birthday

Today is Adi's first birthday. It was a very big day! It snowed this morning which caused some confusion during her morning potty time outside. Then, I took her for doggie daycare and a spa day while we were at work. She got to play with some new dog friends and then get a bath and her nails clipped! Stephanie (her favorite baby-sitter) even gave her a special bone and a bandana while she was there.
Here she is with her bone and in the next one you can see her bandana.

Here is a birthday picture with Dad and one with Mom.

So Thankful

Here are some great photos of Thanksgiving with Bryan's family. We spent the holidy in Memphis with his grandparents Dot & Walt. We ate too much food, played games including chicken feet, rummy, pool, and the Wii, and most of all, enjoyed the fellowship time together.

I thought this one of Rachel and her dad (Walt) was too cute.

That Just Happened

Last night we wrapped up our Fall Bowling League! Check out the trophies!
Ok, so we just grabbed them for a quick photo before they were actually awarded to the real winners of the league! Ha! Our team name was That Just Happened because whatever we did...That Just Happened! It was also 80's night so no, Jean doesn't always dress like that. And no, Bryan and I do not always dress alike. This shirt was actually our team uniform (or costume as some might say) because it actually says "That Just Happened" on it. We had a great time in the league and are looking forward to the next season.

"Please let it be a spare!"

Halloween 2009

We went to a Halloween party last night! It was really fun and we enjoyed making our costumes. I am a Jack-O-Lantern. Bryan is a "Cereal Killer"! Those are little cereal boxes on his shirt with knives stabbing into them! He is so funny!

Barktoberfest

Bryan's Mom and Dad are in town visiting for a few days. It was such a beautiful day today that we all piled in the car and attended Barktoberfest in Friso. Adi loved it! She wanted to play with all of the other dogs and look at all of the exhibits. Here, Bryan and Rachel are taking a little break on a bench with Adi.
But, the break didn't last long. Adi was ready to take off for a little jog through the park.

And, here is one of Bryan with both of his parent and Adi. Note Adi looking back as if to say,"Ok, now let's go again!". There is a really cool fountain in the park where a globe spins on a water fountain. You can see a girl standing on it in the background.

We've had a great visit with Tom and Rachel. Yesterday we went to Mellow Mushroom (one of our favorites) for pizza and then visited the Fort Worth Zoo. And of course, we've had a big time spoiling their GrandBassett.

U2

Last week we got to go the U2 concert at the new Cowboy Stadium! We both love U2 and we had a great time!

This is a picture of their stage I took before the concert. We thought it looked like a giant spider!

And here it is during the show. Look at all the people! The stage would look totally different for each song as they changed the lighting.

Their jumbo-tron was good too. Pictures would go all the way around. Sometimes the screens would pull apart and stretch out almost to the floor. It was a great show!
