Meet our cats!

Back in February we got 2 cats. Keep in mind we already had 2 dogs and 1 fish. Jason and Brett really wanted A cat but, I can never just buy 1 of anything. They were up for adoption from our local shelter. The shelter houses some cats at Petco. Brett and I finally decided on these two.

Piston (her legal name is Celica - yes like the car) was hit by a car and wasn't expected to make it. She is 1 year old a loving little kitty. Her name is now Piston beacause Jason was calling her Piston Honda (thinking that Honda made the Celica (Toyota)) and some fighter in some old school video game was named Piston Honda, so we shortened it to Piston.

Barry is a FAT cat. He is a 4 year old stray. Surprisingly he is a good cat. Not to fond of dogs, he will tell any dog what time it is if they get too close. For the first week he was here my dogs were afraid to walk through their own home. Barry lightened up and we are one BIG happy family.

It took a while for me to fill out all of the adoption paperwork so Brett alternated sitting with and holding each cat - I think he missed his DS. We didn't tell dad that we were getting the cats until he called and wanted to know if we were planning on going to Brett's soccer game (of course we were)

Piston getting comfy on our bed.

Bob Cat on local golf course

Each year the casino where I work sponsors a charity golf tournament. I am the tournament coordinator. It is a blast. Once all the "work" is done the day of the tournament I drive around in a golf cart and make sure everyone is having a good time.


Last year while driving around we saw a bobcat. He was beautiful. We saw him walking so we chased - I mean followed - him in the golf cart. Note: All pictures taken with Verizon Wireless ENV - original model



We watched the bobcat walk to the edge of the weeds and saw him hunch down. He appeared to be hunting something. His tail was twitching and he looked ready to pounce. So we got closer. I thought for sure we were going to see National Geographic right there in Beaumont.



We watched whatever he was watching for a while and then we decided to get a little closer.



He laid down in the shade and rested. We were so close to him that you could hear his breath. He didn't appear to be too concerned with us. Keep in mind, he is a wild animal, we were in an open golf cart (not so much as a fiberglass windshield) AND Laura is on blood thinners. She was hanging out of the golf cart to get a better picture with my cell phone. This year I will bring my camera!



We hope to see him again this year!!!

Cabazon Dinosaurs

Jason to Brett to the Dinosaurs here in Cabazon the other day. He had a blast.




I might not have my drivers license but, I can drive this ancient turtle. (That turtle was old when I was a kid)



Look dad! It is a nice dinosaur!!!!!




UMMMM DAD!!!!!! That nice dinosaur turned out to NOT BE SO NICE!

GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!

Spaghetti and Savannah

I usually watch Savannah on Wednesday nights so the big girls can go to Taco Night at the Moose Lodge. We had spaghetti tonight!

She loves this little high chair. It appears to be comfy and she can sit on the table so we can share our dinner too.

After I was done eating I started to clean the table and put some of the left overs away. She was not quite done (and she was covered in spaghetti) so I let her finish her dinner while I worked. I guess when she finished she got tired of waiting on me and decided to make some music to pass the time!

Guitar Hero for the DS

Brett got Guitar Hero for his DS for his birthday. Mind you his birthday is in early March and this picture was taken just after he took it out of the package in early April. Sometimes he is a little slow getting to stuff.



He sits and plays that DS for hours (if he can con me into it - Dad will let him play until his eyes pop out of his head)



This game has a horrible noise. If you have ever played guitar hero you know that you have to press the colored key and stum your guitar. Well on the DS you have to strum with the stylus. That clicking noise can drive you to drink!!!!! Its worse when the volume is off all you hear is him singing (off key I might add) and that darn tap, tap, tap...the faster the song the more frequent the tap! UGH!!!!!

Easter 2009

Happy Easter!

This was a very simple easter this year. Our families have been very busy lately so we did something small. Do you see the Christmas bag in the background? Well that is the gift wrapping that the easter bunny brought my gift in. He got me a web cam. I am excited about that!

We hope you all had a wonderful day!

The big kids were only allowed a few eggs. So, I had Brett "plant" this egg for the picture. Had to get it on film that he wasn't deprived an easter egg hunt.

Bryce how many eggs do you have. We can't find them all....

I'm glad the Easter egg hunt was at their house, I really don't need to wake up to rotten egg smell.

This was Savannah's first Easter. She found her first egg!

Look Aunti Heather - this is the egg that Bryce decorated!

Brad - Where could that Easter Bunny have hidden the last egg?

Once Savannah got her 2 eggs she wasn't letting them go!

I might be little but I will protect my eggs to the very end!!!

The easter bunny brought Cheyenne a slinky!

This cannot be good for anyone......

Yup, I was right. After this picture I was asked "can Brad and Dean come over and play Pokemon cards?"
