New Carpet and Oz the Camera FREAK!

Here's pictures of our new carpet (along with a dog that can't stand the fact that I'm taking pictures of something other than him) Anyway - -scroll down - - I got a few of "just the carpet" without Ozzie's "mug" in the middle of it all" - - -

Gay & Ernie, Pegchanga, Playoffs

Okay - Pictures are starting from "last" to "first" - - - but first playoff pictures, then Pechanga pictures. We had a great time this last weekend with all our friends. Friday night Pechanga with Mike, Alena, Teri, Steve, Michelle, Brian and Steve Adams. We had a great time which started with a concert by our "fav" Tim Moyer (scroll way down, I kind of did these pictures in backwards order!!) Then we went and just enjoyed the music, slots and good company on Friday night. Saturday night (not pictured) was spend with "another" group of GREAT friends - - Shelly & Mark Roberts, Bob & Sue Dalton, Tony & Diane Romero, Mike & Alena Raby and Steve and Teri played a couples "bunco" - - we had a great time and a big thanks to Mark and Shelly for hosting the GREAT Italian dinner! It was to die for! On Sunday, we spend the day at home thinking - - "Oh, wouldn't it be nice if Matt or Michelle showed up today? Well, Matt, Michelle, Brooke, Brian, Steve Adams, Dan, his father, Dustin, etc. etc. showed up - - so we had a great "Playoff Day", (excepting of course that the Bears were not there!) But we enjoyed watching the tension in Brian's face (Colts) and Steve Adam's face (Chargers) while the game went on. I made my famous chilli, Mike brought great corn bread, and Dan bought pizza's (don't know why, but all the food was eaten, so what the heck??? All in all it was a great weekend. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF - - - WE GOT A PHONE CALL FROM GAY AND ERNIE, WHO ANNOUNCED THAT THEY ARE ENGAGED. CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH -- YOU KNOW WE LOVE YOU. TERI IS GOING TO BE A BRIDESMAID AT "50 SOMETHING" SO THAT'S REALLY COOL! WE LOVE YOU GUYS AND ARE SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!

Michelle's Birthday January 4th!

To make a long story short, Michelle's photographer named "Krystal Photography" - ended up flaking on her, therefore she has never gotten her wedding photo album. First off a big thanks to Brooke's photographer, Jason, who was able to take Michelle's photographer's pictures and make them high resolution. . . and a major thanks to Rey Nelson Printing, who came through in the crunch. Michelle received her wedding photo album - - just in time for her birthday. AND SHE LOVED IT. She said it was the best present she could have ever received.

Michelle checking out her wedding album (video) - listen to Aubrey calling Matt in the background - - - his name (to them) is DUDE - - - too funny! (She's the one running after him)

The Cool Whip Twins kiss - - (check out Matt's face in the background!)

This was actually before the kiss - - already gook- check out Matt & Brian in the background

Michelle with her cake with her little sweetie's (note: Ethan couldn't wait to run next door to play with Austin, therefore not pictured here - - and really it's not that we don't like him!)

MATT TURNS 29!

We celebrated Matt's 29th birthday on Friday. (complete with a "better than sex" cake and beer candles - - fitting for Matt, we think!)

Birthday Cake

Matt getting ready to blow out his candles, while we sing. Brooklyn, Aubry & Ethan join in the fun.

Matt opening gifts

Brooke & Brian with an early Christmas present from Teri - - "Mother-in-Law Nutcrackers" - - they say things like (son in law) "Get off the couch you lazy bum" and (daughter-in-law) "You call this a real dinner?" They say several other funny things.

CUTEST DOG IN THE WORLD

Okay, we might be a little bias here - - but we think the OZ is the cutest & BEST dog in the world. Here's his latest pose. If ANYONE is thinking about "their next pet" - - please please consider a Goldendoodle. They are smart, heatlhy, loyal, playful and everything that I ever wanted in a dog. GREAT with kids and people in general. Okay - that's my plug.

THANK YOU JAMIE! WE LOVE HIM!

DICKERSON FAMILY PICS

Well, it's been a long time since we got together as a family and did professional photos, so this year we actually did it!!! To get this crew together wearing black can be quite challanging, but it all came together and presto! Family pics!
