Luck 'O the Irish

If that's not a 'bean' I don't know what is!


I got to relax at a Spring Training game with the Cowden's which was so very nice for a new mom.


There wasn't a lot of sleeping going on in the house this month...


...well for most of us.


Already contemplating life's big issues.

February 2010 ~ Peace, Love, and Cupcakes...

Let's go home!!





What big month we had. First car ride, first bath, first night in my new bed in my new home... the list goes on! But it all comes down to peace, love, and cupcakes.

Storey's Birthday!!

6:00am February 3, 2010 ~ We had no idea what the day would hold for us but we were really hopeful that we would meet our little girl today...


After a long day and lots of work - Here she is!! Born at 5:07pm
8 pounds 3 ounces... such a pretty and perfect shade of pink!


Daddy, Grandma Jan and Aunt Shelly ~ they waited nine months (& all day) to meet Miss Storey


Grammy Patty, Uncle Lonnie and Mom


What a day! We're so glad she's here...

Getting ready for baby!

We're getting there! December 3, 2009

New Year's Eve - Let's Party!!
(Not sure if we even saw midnight)

January 8, 2010 - One month to go!!
I'm so done...

Merry Meatball TEN!

The fun hasn't stopped and Karie and Marcie prepared a slide show for this years festivities (I'll be working on getting it up here). Trish and Eric seemed to be having a good time.

Karie and I have been hosting Merry Meatball Madness for 10 years!! That is hard to believe! It's been so long that Tara, one of my former dance students, is all grown up now!

Uh - we've even inspired a Meat Madness board game and Kevin brought it for us to play! It's actually really fun.

UFC strategy meeting

Love my Karie!!

Baby Shower!

Karie threw us a baby shower with a make-your-own-waffle bar.

Everything was so cute!

Stan the Afghan was there, of course!

And we got some really nice things!

ASU Football 2009

We didn't do as well as the Strauss' in game attendance this season. It was hot and being pregnant can make a girl tired!


This is what you call a portable grill... I was a doubter but my perfectly grilled hot dog convinced me otherwise.


Happy Halloween, Sun Devil style!
