Off to Tejas

I'm headed for Texas, or as my Dad likes to call it "Northern Mexico"this week. I'll be back hopefully with some good pics next week. Hope everyone's well, will post again soon!

Welcome Baby BAM-BAM!

Welcome to the world Baby BAM-BAM! Sept 19th, Andy's niece Abby & her husband Sabata welcomed their baby, Baine Alexander at 7lbs & some change. Since his initials spell out "BAM", that's what we're gonna nickname him. So welcome Baby BAM-BAM from Aunt Kristi & Uncle Andrew!

The Sun Dial with Fur

Well, we know that its Fall and turning just a little cooler, there's a crisp in the air.....and........
Oscar has started his Fall Equinox Rotations.

Once its cooler, its been 65 during the day I guess, 40's at night, Oscar turns into the Sundial. As the sun comes through the windows, that's where he lays, and as it moves throughout the day, he does too. It's cute. This was about 3:30 upstairs while I was working on homework. Crazy cat!

Holy Crap!

Ok so Andy my man and I were watching Biggest Loser tonight. And they flash up these questions in between scenes like "How many jumping jacks does it take ot burn off blah blah blah" But then, HOLY CRAP! MOTHER OF ZEUS!!!! SWEET ODEN'S RAVEN!!!! They put up 4 things and say which has the most calories.....

Bacon Cheeseburger - my vote

Fries

Chocolate milkshake - Sweet beard of Zeus, surely not?

And something else I don't remember what

BUT THE DOG-GONE MILKSHAKE WON!

Not by a little. By a lot. Try 22oz at 627 calories alot.

And guess what yours truly gets usually every other week. Yup a big honking 22oz Dairy Queen shake.

PERO NO MAS!!!!!! (Hey Christine--that's Mexican for 'but no more!)

A Birthday in the House!

Birthday 'cake' with his birthday cards

Oh, I'm in heaven!!!!!

Ladies & gents, Andy is celebrating his 28th birthday today! I guess September is the month when geniuses are born b/c Keri & Andy are seriously the smartest 2 people I know!!!!

I was asking Andy what kind of cake he'd like me to make for him, and he just grinned and said I don't know about cake--but I'd like Rice Krispy Treats! HAHA! So, that was his cake and I put candles in it and everything! I make them a little differenct than the recipe calls for & add 2 Tablespoons of vanilla in with the marshmallows when you melt 'em, and that makes such a difference, these things are just phenomenal!

We went to breakfast this morning for pancakes & french toast, and are going to have sushi tonight at JeJu's in Ft. Collins. Tomorrow we're off to Denver for a couple of days to celebrate our anniversary which I can't believe that's it been a year! Will put up pics when we return! Thank y'all so much for the lovely cards, they're all on our mantle!

Everyone's favorite atty is 29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well ladies and gents, today our beloved attorney celebrates her 29th birthday!

Wishing you a VERY happy birthday Keri, and I hope you did something fun to celebrate today----or make Ben take you out tonight and pamper you!

LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah another day in WY

Hmmm......I wonder if Oscar would let us do this to him?

Not too much going on other thant getting another class started and in the middle of the big inpsection. Got a few days of leave coming up and really can't wait! I can't believe its been a year since Andy and I were married it has gone by so fast! We are going to go down to Denver for our anniversary go see a comedy show and just enjoy the city.

I just had another appointment for my foot and as of right now, I will not need a second surgery on my left foot! It wasn't looking too promising 2 weeks ago but I have been doing physical therapy everyday and it is paying off--but very painful and I hate doing it. But it is worth it in the long run.

Hope y'all are well and will update again soon!

Now that's a uniform!

Go to this link and click on: Optical Brighteners & ABUs

http://chairforce.com/index.htm

The Army & Air Force are coming up with "new & improved" uniforms that well, are comical at best. We now have BDUs (Camo) that glows in the dark when you wash it. Its designed to be a wash & wear uniform instead of having to get it pressed and what-not. So people have been washing it, and some detergents contain optical brighteners to make clothes look more vibrant. Makes sense right? But that doesn't necessarily mean that the detergent has to advertise that it has brighteners in its formula. Click on the link and you'll see the result. I'm sorry but I howled in laughter when I saw this....didn't someone think of this when they were designing this?

Got the big inspection coming to the base on Tuesday and will last for 2 weeks. Kinda like Cousin Eddie showing up and won't leave. And you've got to get everything right or Cousin Eddie will come back. And no one wants to see Cousin Eddie more than they have to......
