Garfield

So, a couple of months ago Dakota sent a letter to Santa Claus, yup, she is starting early, the one thing she wants is a "kitten". Un, no, not really thinking that is going to happen but I bet Santa will find something she will like, right?! So, D'Laina, a great big sister, who is allergic to cats and HATES cats comes over the other night, with....can you guess....the suspense.... a kitten! UGH, but there were these little girls on the corner and whatever kittens they didnt give away were going to the "pound" so I had to save one of them and Dakota really wants a kitten, but duh, they grow up into cats. But, being a pushover as I am, we have a new kitten. It is cute, I do admit, BUT...(sigh) Of course Dakota and Colton both love our new kitten "Garfield".

Family Picture

We had a new family picture taken, I thought it turned out really nice. Maybe some of the "men" could have smiled a little more but oh well!!

Top Row: DJ and Kelsi; Scott and Heidi; Mike and D'Laina...Our 3 married daughters
Middle Row: Dakota; Greg, holding Ethan (Dlaina and Mikes boy); Kim; Colton; Shayla
Bottom Row: Tyler; Tanner; Josh

School Picture Day

So, I thought the twins looked pretty cute for picture day, now the question of the hour/day/year....how or what can I do to try to get Colton to smile? He seriously refuses to smile for any picture EVER!! It is so annoying. We did family pictures with Gregs family a few weeks ago, the WHOLE family, and he would not smile, I just dont get it? Any suggestions, advice? Even when we are having "fun" at the zoo, pool, family stuff, he frowns or scowls, I mean come on, he has a darn cute smile!
