Food Storage.....Here We Come!

Used to be an open area with a bar that collected junk.

View of hallway with new pocket door.

Shelves inside the pantry...now we can store lots of food.

Colin LOVES kitties

This is how Colin shows his love for the kitties. Seamus will run when Colin comes along, but Finnegan either hasn't learned or actually likes the attention. Colin will find Finnegan laying around and just go "snuggle" him. That actually means he lays on top of him and gives him a big squishy hug. Reminds me of the girl on the Animaniacs cartoon, Elmyra. She always says, "I'm gonna hug you and kiss you and love you FOREVER!"

Guess I have an animal lover!

My new hair

Here's a pic of my new haircut. Whatcha think?
This is what I think my hair looks like.....anime!

The Joys of Boys

Ok, all of you realize that I'm surrounded by boys all the time, right? 3 little boys, 1 big boy, 2 boy kitties......and me the lone girl. Sometimes this is good. Lately, I've been not so sure. I am getting more and more grossed out as these boys get older. Now the older ones like to teach the youngest all they know too. I'm constantly bombarded with passing gas and burping. Then there are all the many names for private parts that keep popping up (tenders, junk, nuts....you get the idea). Maybe it is because I grew up with a sister and no brothers?? Maybe I don't have that great of a sense of humor?? I don't know. Some days it is just too much and I want to run away!

But then look at how cute they can be (see above photo)!! Is this the blessing and curse of boys??

"Above All"

Last week we had the great opportunity to join my Brother in Law on the flight line at Nellis AFB. He is here visiting from Seymour Johnson AFB in North Carolina (where he is stationed now). We got to get up close to the F-15 jets and watch them take off. Fun times! I think Ryan had the most fun of all of us. Thanks Sgt. Brown & thanks to Meredith too!
