Valentine's Day with Morgan

Fun at Grapevine Mills. Shopping & pony rides.

Serious posing here.

Let me tell you what's on my mind!!

Nana would you like some tea?

February 2010 (8 plus inches of snow)

Mountain View & Deer at the condo

Alot of beautiful scenery in Ruidoso. Such a peaceful experience to visit.

Don't worry, Mommy is not far away.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Right outside the condo door, waiting to be fed.

The whole gang!! Welcoming committee - they were here in Jan. also.

Morgan's first trip to Ruidoso

View from the deck in back of condo.

Nice getting away from it all. (Oops someone is missing here!)

Daddy & his little girl enjoying the white outdoors.

Easier for little legs to sit down then walk in this white stuff.

"Well, ok if I must look like I am having fun."

Royal Flush

Ok, this was hard for me to believe also, since I am NOT a lucky person when it comes to Casino action. However, I feel pretty lucky this go around at Inn of the Mtn. Gods in Ruidoso, NM. We had worked on the condo 10 hrs. on Sat. & 10 on Sunday & decided at 8pm to go have a couple hours of fun and we were there about 10 min. when this happened. I had played $20 on this same type machine at the other end of this row & lost it all, so I moved to the opposite end & put in about $7 and up came 3 of the Royal, and bingo, when I hit deal it was there. Amazing!
See that smile!!! Only wish it had been $6 less & I would not have to file anything for taxes. But you gotta pay to win, and this was a very exciting night for me. I cannot say that I never win anymore. This is actually my second ever Royal - but the other one was on a nickel machine & I made the mistake of not playing the max, so won about $240 on it. Can't wait to return to Inn of the Mtn. Gods. :)

Walk to the park for a swing & slide (15 mos. today)

What a sunny day for a walk to the park. First we went for the swing.

But the toddler slide was Morgan's favorite!

Then back to the swing for a finale'.

What a nice day for playing in the park. The weather was perfect.

Bath time at Nana's

Fish are so much fun in the tub.

Rubber Duckie is my favorite of all.

Kids all grown up. Where did the years go?

And then they were all grown up. How did that happen so fast?

Casey & fiance' Chris and five months until the wedding! (Laser Tech & Speech Therapist)

Jessi & Josh (School teacher and College soccer coach)

Shannon & Casey with Morgan (Radiology Tech & Hilton Food & Bev. Manager)

I am so blessed and very proud of all of them.

Christmas Eve 2009

Here's the happy clan with hats & racks. Santa was good this year.

Morgan chillin & taking everything in.

Gingerbread house competition with beautiful creativity.

Nana, what is this?

3 inches of snow made for a beautiful white Christmas!!

The serious visit with Santa on Dec. 22nd at Bass Pro

My little Cupcake!!!

This day has been a blast. Morgan is feeling so much better !! So happy & playful.


Ok, getting the clothes on after lunch was a challenge, as she was enjoying the diaper time.


Now little miss Cupcake is really enjoying this. (of course, she ate a great lunch first)

There is probably nothing better then a Christmas cupcake that takes both hands to eat. Yummie!!

Back from beautiful Ruidoso, N. M.

Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort is a beautiful place to visit. This is a lake view.


Jazz & Itzy enjoyed the RV trip, but were tuckered out & Chillin here.

Buck enjoying his day in the center of town.

Yes, Elk were out around dusk & we even saw one in the center of town. These were about 6 miles north of Ruidoso, on a country road in Alto, NM.

Nov. 15th Cowboy & Turkey

Does this remind you of the real quarterback after a bad throw? Oops, I should not have done that!!!!

Mo Mo loves her Aunt Jessi & Uncle Josh. Took a break from the boring game to run in the backyard.

Game & Pizza Gathering at Jessi & Josh's Home
