Slip Sliding Away!

More Fun in the Snow!

Another Six Inches of Snow

Snow Showers

Well, with another six inches of snow last night, I have nothing better to do than to take funny videos of Casey dumping snow on his head. :) Of course, Dodge is enjoying this as well.

Videos of the snow

I thought I would include a few video's of Casey and I in the snow. I hope you enjoy them.

Dog Party in the Snow!

Tired yet?

Dog party in the snow!! Dodge was really in the mood to have a party so he invited over Daisy, Bruiser and Delilah to run around in the snow. They had a ton of fun. We took him to the field across the street and let them all chase balls, each other, and snowballs.

Bruiser is wondering what Dodge is doing in the air?

Delilah has pinned Dodge!

Where's the ball...I need the ball.

A Winter Wonderland...

Our First Snow in Monroe:

Well, Casey and I awoke to about 7 inches of snow on Thursdsay morning and by the end of the day we had about 10 inches. I frankly don't remember this much snow since the winter of 1993. The only reason I remember this is because my Dad, sister and I built a Dinosaur out of snow that was about six feet tall. It was awesome.

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!

Of course, Casey and I stayed home on Wednesday, like everyone else, because the snow storm was supposed to come in Wednesday...Well forcasters, you were a day late.

So we are stuck here in Monroe and we are expected to have a huge wind/snow storm on Saturday night. Will we make it to Christmas at my parents in Renton??

View from our Garage, it looks like we aren't going anywhere.

Dodge has been having a blast. He tried to jump up in the air and catch first snow flakes that fell last Sunday. We captured some more fun snow pictures. ImageImage

How The Grinch Stole Christmas!

A Christmas Card??? HA

I should probably clarify this Christmas card...every year, Casey goes into his creative closet and thinks up, goofy, crazy, out of the box ideas for our Christmas Card and our Santa Picture. The closet is dark and he shuts the door behind him imagining these colorful ideas in his mind. Might I mention, that he does not come out until he has developed the perfect idea in his mind. Therefore, I present the "Grinch Who Stole Christmas" Card.

I am not quite sure if he is deliberately trying to make our family look foolishly silly because he knows we will fall into his trap or if is just trying to be completely different than everyone else. Actually, he probably does a little bit of both. He made Dodge's antlers out of paper mache' and paint. He completely made his Grinch costume and painted his face. He drank quite a bit of Mountain Dew to make his eyes Yellow.
Of course, the good news for me is that I got a new pair of pajamas! However, I had a headache from the "Kimmy Luu Hair due".

So with this whole production, I present to you the 2008 Christmas Card.

P.S.: The Santa Photo is coming soon!

Finally It Feels Like Christmas...

Dodge's First Snow!


I love the first snow fall of the year, especially in Seattle. Last night we watched the snow coming down in our street lamp from our bedroom window. Somehow it seems so magical. We took Dodge out last night and he was jumping into the air trying to eat the snowflakes falling from the sky.

We got up this morning and walked over the park so Dodge could play in the snow for the first time. Here are some pictures of our fun morning.
