Pepper & Friends 1 Day Before the Storm




We love going to the Dog Park! Lately it has been a brisk 60 degrees outside and when you're this close to the Sun it feels like 75!

Pepper'S First Snow Storm














Pepper is so excited to play in the snow! She has begged and begged to go out all day! She loves to leap and make little hops across the fresh powder! Except she doesn't seem to know when her feet are frozen and have had enough. When we finally brought her inside I had to deice her tail and inbetween her toes! We'll that's it for now...WOOF!

Our Old Pal Pepper is back...











She enjoys terrorizing Praire Dogs, chasing Cotton Tails, guarding her hoof, playing keep away, and running full speed at the dog park!
WOOF!

Older Pictures You Never Saw

Mitch and Family 2006!


Mitch and I on his older crane.




Steve and us in the Garden of the Gods!


I had to creep behind furniture and stay very still while I snapped this picture. I knew there could be no flash, for I might upset the Grandma if she knew I got a picture of her. For those of you that know Nani, you know I must have National Geographic skills!


Honeymooning with the Queen!



My Poppy Jack and Karen in MI.


Mitch and his loving tolerance during my hair phase!

Alicia and our niece, Natalie! A classic mother and daughter picture!



Mitch and Mom!


Mitch and I in Bay Harbor, MI. (both not ready for the picture)!





Lindsay and Jeff's Wedding

My Aunt Laura and Uncle Mike and the Celtic Band! I listen to their music every St. Patty's Day!



A late funeral for Mitch's Grandma!



Yup, that's me just being AWESOME (I was a blonde that year)! I don't like to brag, but yeh, I'm a pretty good shot!



My favorite picture of my Mom and Spencer! You can't get anymore real than that! Oh, what memories Mom's disappointed look brings back! She's a hoot!



Mitch and I helped a couple of slackers with their race car. We called it the "Holy Rollers". They came in 2nd to last baby! Woo Whoo!



The California Breakfast & Dinner Club! Every morning they go to Grandma Pat's for breakfast and come back in the evening for dinner! Now that's a FAMILY!



My Dad and I before the accident.



Mitch and I in the Springs!

Check Out the Scouts

With my free time I get to goof off with the coolest kids ever, besides my nieces and nephew! These kiddos are so smart, some have skipped two grade levels (I like to brag about stuff I have nothing to do with)!

Prager Event



We met Dennis Prager! He doesn't look so thrilled to meet Mitch and Jacque, but we we're so EXCITED! He's like our Britney Spears!


Surviving Rafting

Here we are, patiently waiting to suit up in our damp stale jackets, and board the raft! That is chapstick in my hand, just a by the way people!
While rafting we encountered a large boulder...
Mike kicked it out of the water!

Mike now has a peg leg!


The water was in a rage that day. Its icy white waves were taking no prisoners. Our guide was a spring chicken, and the crew yearned for a leader. The rocks stood their ground as the duct tape was peeling from Ol'Yeller who had been with us since the begining. Ol'Yeller's time was steadily approaching their jagged edges as our past decisions dragged through our minds like an old anchor at harbor. As the rocks rose higher and higher the sky turned black, we all knew it was the end of our voyage. The time came to make a decision that no one else in Ol'Yeller wanted to make. The fear was heavy in my crews blood shot eyes and they turned to me.

I did what had to be done. Am I a hero? I don't know, but some would call be Mr. Ones and Zeros. My name is Mike of Honeywell, and I AM OL'YELLER'S CAPTAIN!

Love,
The survivors and loyal raft mates: Jacque & Mitch
