Painting, Snow and Telephone

Just a some pics from the last few days.

Olive has been quite the painter. We barely have room to display all of her colorful artwork!


The canyon is covered in snow...it is of course beautiful!



Olive "talking" on her phone. (She just started a ballet class, hence the leotard and tights which she didn't want to take off.)

Snow Stroll

We have finally received our first good snowfall for 2011! The whole fam took a little stroll around the block today to get out of the house. (We were beginning to get cabin fever!) Olive caught snowflakes on her tongue and enjoyed throwing snowballs at us. Now we're back home for some hot cocoa!

Happy Valentine's Day

Floyd Collins O'Malley

Introducing our newest family member, Floyd Collins O'Malley.

Olive has a fondness for cats and Molly has been looking to fill a hole left by our sweet Bucky Cat. So yesterday we went to Flagstaff and rescued this sweet little kitten. He purrs a lot and is warming right up to everyone, including old Hamilton.

Squeaky clean

She always seems to be extra cute after a bath.

Wide World of Sports

We spent the weekend watching football and playing hockey and baseball. Tonight we will watching the BCS Championship Game. Go Ducks!

New Years in Indiana

A few days after Christmas Olive and I made a trip to Indiana to visit the family. We had a full week celebrating a late Christmas, going to Olive's big birthday party at "Pump It Up", and playing with all of our cousins on New Years Day. Even Will's Mom, Sister Beth, and our niece and nephew (Aurora and Jackson) made the trip down from Northern Indiana to visit. We had a great week and wish it didn't have to end! It is nice to get back home and to see Will, though!
