Late For The Holidays

I love holiday bulbs. I like to start them around Thanksgiving and then hope they open up by Christmas. This year, however, I did not have that happen. I got this bulb from a white elephant exchange at knitting. It is a great color and in all honesty it has made the holiday season seem to last. I'm happy to have it in the window now (the start of February). Sort of like a Valentines flower!!

True Love.

My honey knows that baby and I love sushi. No raw fish - just veggies - but the little girl relaxes after I eat it (and I enjoy it too). Here is what he made me last night!

Mini Moab Vacation

Mike and I decided to take a quick little trip to Moab this weekend. It was meant to just be a quick hike and visit trip - turned out to be one of the best Moab trips. It was only for a day and a half - but that is about all I can deal with at this point. A lot more photos will be up on Flickr.

Oh Christmas Tree!

We hate putting away the Christmas tree. Just hate it. But once a year it has to happen and my DH just doesn't want to let it go!

2011 Moving.

In 2011 I tried to keep moving and keep track of what I was doing. Here is my year in review from this fantastic site (dailymile.com). It is a free site and if you care to join we could be buddies and cheer each other on!

Also if I had known I was two freaking miles away from a sweet 500 mile mark I would have gotten my butt out on New Year Eve!

Happy 2012

With the new year comes the arrival of our baby. Of course we are a few months out - but I'm not the type of person to wait too long. Here is a time laps video of Mike putting stuff together in the baby room. I especially like the cats roaming through at different points. They seem interested in what is happening in that back room.

2012 is going to be a very interesting year for us!

RIP Dear Leader

Updating Blogs & Reading

If you happen to wonder why I'm not commenting on your blog it is because my blog reader died. I'm trying to find a new one and get all my blogs set back up. I miss all of you! I wish I could remember all the blogs I like to read off the top of my head.

If you are wondering about the video this is Moab (our smallest cat) who has a new baby (an iphone cover). She carries it around, takes it to the bathroom and tries to feed it.

Happy Thursday.

Just to brighten your day!

Cats & Holidays.

I'm not sure how it is in your house - but in our house the cats seem to always want to be involved with present wrapping. This kitty takes it to a whole other level!

Half Baked.

Do you want to know what our little baby looks like half baked? Yep. We are past the half way mark and she is growing up a storm!

Oh Christmas Cookie!

It is that time in our house. The season for baking cookies. Do you have holiday baking traditions?

The Kevins - Holiday Letter

Dear Santa,
We have strung our lights, we are ready for our gifts, and we promise we have been good this year.

Sincerely,
The Kevins (who are in the holiday spirit)

Where oh where ...

I haven't blogged in a while. We spent Thanksgiving with my family - which is always an adventure and then returned home. While going to the grocery store I dropped my new iPhone 4S and the glass exploded. It makes blogging hard for me since I normally use my phone. I promise for a good holiday update in the next few weeks!

I miss you guys too.

Last Track Weekend!

Yep. This weekend is Mike's last race of the year. We are in southern new mexico and it is actually a little bit cold!



We got Moab a new bed for this trip - but Methow has decided she likes it best!

DC Trip

Here is a short re-cap from our trip out to DC. Mike got an award from Secretary Chu (which was exciting). It was our little spuds first trip to the East Coast (already went to the West Coast a while ago). Hopefully once the kid is born it travels this well!

Miss Me?

I'm going out to DC this week to hook up with Mike for a few days before we fly home. I'm excited to go to some museums and see a few friends. Hopefully I'll get loads of great photos and I'll post them!

See you on the East Coast!

Strange Creature.

Any ideas what this little creature is? I thought maybe a squirrel - but it is large for a squirrel for these parts. This little guy has been bringing down the bird feeder and helping himself to whatever he likes!

Warm & Sunny.

I'm trying to be a bit better about blogging (especially now that the world knows about my secret). Fall is my favorite season. The changing colors, the cooler weather and how on a cool day the warm sun can feel so amazing. Methow loves to sunbath as well (all year round for her - but fall she also enjoys).

Do you have a favorite season?

Walking Surprise.

While out on a Sunday walk I saw a bunch of lovely sunflowers just poking out of the forest. It appears as if they have just re-seeded them selves and are going wild. But, they sure did make me smile. I thought about picking some and decided to leave them for the next person!

Did you see anything this fine Sunday?
