Christmas Eve ~ Presley's Christmas ~ BB Gun

Opening his Red Ryder BB Gun from Uncle Kolby and Kelsey, not sure who was more excited. Kolby or Presley.

Hiding Presley and Andro Dog

Look close there he is hiding behind the wall.

Taking grandma and Andro on a walk.

Presley's latest thing is hiding, it is so funny. No matter what you are doing he will walk around the corner and hide.

Also he LOVES Andro Dog, no fear, he has no idea the power Andro has in his body. But Andro is so cute with Presley he lets him just love on him.

Andro Dog

Jeff got a new position at work, Andro is his new partner! He is one of the K-9 handlers and is going to "Dota" Dog officer training academy in Tucson for the next 9 weeks. Jeff and Andro get to come home for a 3 day weekend each week and Andro has become part of the family. A little intimidating still to think with one simple word he could rip holes in you or take you to the ground without you even having a chance!

Some Catch up

So many things ~ on Sept. 28th Jeff and I had been married 25 year!! What a blessing Jeff has been in my life. Than on Sept. 29th I went in for major back surgery, again, 26 years later, I needed a remake of the back. I have been home 4 days and so thankful to be home again, in my own bed and house. The day after week got home Jeff took me on a ride to see the beautiful Escudilla mountain turning colors.

Jeff got a new position at work. He got the canine position and so is once again in Tucson going to what Kolby calls DOTA Dog, Officer Training Academy. He will be so amazing at this position.

Well I am getting tired and need to let Kam on the computer for a few minutes.

Try to post again soon.

16? Really he is 16!?!

My baby is 16, where does the time go? Yesterday you hurriedly came into the world so quickly you couldn't wait for the doctor. And now you are all grown up and so SUPER AWESOME!! Thank you for being my 2nd best friend!! I love you SO MUCH!! Shoes by: Steve Madden (Birthday gift) Socks by: Ed Hardy

Shirt by: Army National Guard Vest by: G by Guess

and of course the Pants steal the show by: True Religion

Is he not so awesome, his style is just his style and he could careless what others think of him. One of my favorite things about you sweet boy!!

Our Mechanics

It doesn't matter what Jeff is doing, Presley is right, and I do mean right in the middle of it. Here they are changing the brakes on Kolby's truck. If you ask Presley what he is doing, he will tell you "I'm workin'" and he is serious, don't bother him!!

Mr. Presley

Here are 2 new pictures of Presley. The first one is from today 5/16 he went fishing with his mom and some friends and this is on the ride home.

The second one is one of my new favorites he found grandpa's BCG's these are military issue glasses and are lovingly called Birth Control Glasses, cuz' who would want to you know with anyone where those. But they are SOO cute on lil' man!!

He's Home, YEA!!!

Jeff made it home on April 1st, No Foolin'!! We are so thankful for all our family and friends that kept Jeff and our family in their thoughts and prayers during this last 13 months. Jeff will be taking the month of April off, not sure what he is going to do with all that time?!? He has already set up a indoor archery range, took out the large apricot tree that was falling down, been in the mountains of course, gone and visited dear friends and just enjoyed being home.

Senior Prom

My handsome boy, in a tuxedo, and of course a little camoflauge! Can't believe he is a senior and just 6 weeks away from graduation. His sweet girl, Kelsey looked just like a princess. What you can't see if she has a big knee brace on under that gorgeous dress. The other 2 couples are such great friends and I love to call them all "my kids"

Jessica and Jim

I took this picture of Jim, Jessica and Chewie. I love this picture they are so cute together.

Loving grandpa

Presley sure misses being able to "see" his grandpa on SKYPE. Now everytime my cell rings he says grandpa?

A great picture of Presley

Once again what can I say but THOSE EYES!! Likes his mama's beautiful and oh so blue. He is now getting to that lovely terrible two's part of his life. He is into everything, on top of everything. If there is something to be climbed or even not to be climbed he is climbing it. Jordan went in to go to the restroom the other day and when she came out he had climbed to the top of my piano. What a sweet little boy! Even on his ornery days, gma loves him!!

The last few days

Kamden and Presley being silly!!

Family Update

It has been a while so I thought I would just do a quick family update.

Jeff ~ just got back to Camp Arijan, he went on his first mission into Iraq. I was very glad to hear he was back on "safe" soil. He has approx. 2 months till he will be home!! Will keep everyone posted on that.

Myself ~ got a crazy hair and decided to go back to college, I am taking Math, Fundamental Writing, Physcology 101 and Piano. With working at the Dance studio on Tuesday nights I am gone 4 nights a week.

Jessica ~ Has been out of work since just before Thanksgiving, and just got a job 2 days ago. She will be a personal shopper and chef, for a couple moving here from Scotland. She is so excited. She is going to be starting Culinary School in the near future.

Jordan ~ I having a hard time finding a job, and may have to go elsewhere to find a job.

Kolby ~ Is in the home stretch for graduating on May 20th. He is fairly confident he will get a job with The Forest Service for the summer. He now has ,2 horses, a dun filly named Dos, and a blue roan named Ace. And horn hunting starts soon. Kolby just got back from FFA regionals, where he took 3rd place in Ag. Mechanics, so proud.

Kamden ~ is such a dedicated school goer, he worries if he doesn't have an A. His first semester of high school he worked really hard to maintain a 4.0GPA. He is of course busy with dance, he helps Ms. Erica teach on Wed. and than his classes are Tuesday night 7-9pm and Thursday 4-9pm. Competition is coming up and he is so excited to go and show how well they have done.

Presley ~ is living with us full time for now, Oh the energy he takes. He is on the go from the time he wakes up, and boy do I look forward to noon and nap time. He is so smart! If you say something you better be prepared for him to repeat it. Kolby taught him to shake hands today, but when you tell him to shake he shakes his little body, with his hand in yours, super funny. What a blessing he is to have.
