Gunnar Octavius Smith

I will try to keep this abbreviated...

Gunnar came to live with us on January 17, 2009.  He flew by himself from Kearney, Nebraska.  We've been waiting a long time to get this guy from my Uncle Norman and he was well worth the wait!  

So, as my camera has become crowded with pictures of his every adorable move, I will do my best to keep you all from getting tired of him (I'm also going to pretend that is possible). 

Here he is in his crate (not cage) with Alice.  

He is the cutest little sleeper... I have plenty of action shots too, but the sleepy pics are so perfect!

Okay~ I'm done for now! 

Happy New Year!!

Welcome 2009!  

Travis had a game in Prescott Valley on New Year's Eve (why does this seem so familiar... moving on) so we decided to celebrate up there instead of trying to make it home in time for midnight.  We had a really good time despite having only about an hour to get ready to ring in 2009.  The pic above is the Court House in Prescott - crappy photo, but it's such a cool building.  

Your on ice crew for the evening... nice photo boys.  

Mike (on the left) and his posse found us the perfect spot to celebrate.  With our cover charge we got a cocktail, access to a coveted bathroom, and ringside seats for the dozen or so fights that broke out in the bar - all included!  Score!    

Oh - we had to get a picture of this get-up.  Do you think she noticed we were talking about her?  Probably not.  This was taken between bouts...  

So sleepy!  

This was in the elevator of the Hotel.  I think this is my BEST self-photo ever.  It's what Travis gets for always trying to ruin my photos.  After the bar we hung out with everyone until the wee hours.  The cracker barrel we had the next morning was sooooooo good.  Can't believe I didn't take a picture.  

2009 is looking good!
