Henry's Favorite Music Video

Something you don't see everyday

 

My Jetta just registered 200,000 miles. The big moment took place about 6 miles from home down Hwy 44. I remember I was on Pacheco Pass when she turned 100K. This has been the best car and she has been with me since high school. A little lackluster, but still running strong. A great piece of bare bones machinery. Sometimes those are the best kind.
Keep it up girl, we have at least 200K more to go :).

 

Henry's Friend Grant

 

This is Henry's youngest friend, Grant. He has the biggest smile and it's been fun watching him grow. He lives about a mile from us, which means that he lives about 3 houses down the road. He's not walking quite yet, but Henry is eager for him to start. I can see in his eyes...he can't wait.

Easter

 

Henry really enjoyed hunting for eggs this year. And, we all felt so much safer with our fireman/ hunter.

Snoring the Miles Away

 

Henry slept the whole way home from Roseville. Dave and I would laugh when we'd hear an occasional snore. Then Dave would say, "just like his Mommy". It was nice to have some "adult" time and they are just so dang cute when they sleep.

A Waiter's Worst Nightmare

 

We took Henry out to dinner when we were in Roseville. I kept wondering, "why is it taking so long?" People who came after us were being seated and we were still waiting for our "special" table. Finally, it was our turn. The hostess called us and we began our long journey which never seemed to end. We reached our table at the very back of the restaurant along with a couple other families. It felt like we had been transported to France. But, at least there they pay less when seated in the boonies. Then the waiter showed up and gave us that look. I had come prepared with several distractions, so we just took it in stride. At the end of the meal the waiter said he was impressed. Henry did great. We skipped dessert because we didn't want to push our luck. Of course, Henry didn't miss a beat...chocolate was his second course.

The Usefulness of Celery

A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him. She says hello. He's rather taken back because he can't place where he knows her from. So he says, "Do you know me?"
To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids."
Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, "My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery?
She looks into his eyes and says calmly, "No, I'm your son's teacher."

 

I Want That Hat

 

Big Foot

Welcome March!

 

I would walk 500 miles

 

Henry loves to put our shoes on and walk around the house. Although it usually ends up with him falling and some tears, it sure is funny to watch him shuffle around.

Frosty Gnome-Ice Fishing

I have always loved Gnomes. I'm not sure if it was a good family friend who hand crafted a whole village of Gnomes with clay or it was Martha Stewart's husband's book that inspired me. Whatever it was, I was hooked. One Christmas I was trying to make it a bit challenging for Dave. I asked for a "fishing Gnome". Low and behold, we found him. He loves his new home, but doesn't like the cold weather. I can see it in his eyes :).

Happy Birthday Grandpa Dave

Happy Valentine's Day

Hoping lots of love floats your way.

All That Jazz

Last time we were in Monterey we took Henry to the Hyatt and he loved seeing a local jazz band. I didn't get the camera right away, but here a couple snipits of his dance. He finished with some sort of hip-hop floor spin and when he just laid there we knew it was time to go.

Darling, You Look Marvelous

Lil' Spud

Couch Potato in Training :)

El Capitain

This is probably the world's most well traveled dog. I swear, he is part human. We love this little ball of fluff.
