At the job site........we took mom to see the beautiful new house!

Cassidy makes her first snow-Woman! Her name was FiFi and she was a Vegas showgirl with huge boobies to prove it!

We had a little snow storm while mom was here visiting.

Miss Cassidy gets her first hair cut......

Grandma comes to visit for MY birthday this time! She's coloring and chatting with Cassidy here. We had such a great time and can't wait to live in the same town!

Yeehaw!!! Uncle Bobus is in Washington now! He's working with Don and Bill building Bates and Lois' house. Too cool having him here.......we're having a great time!

In January we took a road trip to Santa Rosa, CA. to pick up Uncle Bobus. Here is Cassidy with her cuzzies.........Leigh Ann's children. It was wonderful to see the kids all playing and laughing together.......I wish we all lived in the same town!

Somebody put this little ham in commercials! Santa got a real kick out of her little animated self and we were overjoyed that she wasn't afraid of him! She's loving this candy thing too.........she gets it from Santa and from us when she goes in her potty seat. Life is good, eh??

Cassidy went to see Santa at a local nursery. She told him she wants CANDY and she wants to be a fairy. Look how fast ol' blue eyes got herself some candy???????

The Cassidy Isabel show continues........she loves to dance around the room, singing at the top of her lungs and making up songs...........the hands are in the air and she looks like she's worshiping God! It is truly hysterical to behold!

Cassidy munching "stacios" on Thanksgiving evening.

Our dear friend Chris joins us for Thanksgiving dinner and hams it up with some of Cassidy's jewels...........We are very thankful for our life and our friends and family. Just sharing a meal with people you love is such a simple yet blessed thing. Chris' wonderful girlfriend, Suzanne, joined us later as well. It was a low key but really nice evening.

Don is loving learning the construction trade. He is really good at it and loves working with Bill. Bill has even made him a very generous offer of a partnership in his business! So, Don is finally getting out of the casino racket and we are SO thrilled!

Bates and Lois' house is really coming along......they should be moving in in February. It is just gorgeous!

BUSTED!!!! When ever Cassidy is totally silent, we always find her ransacking my purse for mints.........candyaholic!

Cassidy meets and falls for our friend Dena's new grandson, Camden. Dena is the same age as Don so we get a laugh out of us having a two year old and she's a grandma.........gotta love life, eh???!!!! She and her husband Gordon are warm and wonderful and fun people. We love hanging with them! Her beautiful daughter, Alana, is the new mommy in the background.

20 lbs. of plums stewing and fermenting for a big batch of plum wine! It's the most beautiful salmon color.

Cassidy's cool Nonnie climbs in her fort/closet with her.

Cassidy poses as an angel for daddy's birthday.........

Princess Cassidy........she loves answering Lois and I with a sarcastic, "Yes, your Majesty!" (She's right, of course, but where does that come from?????? ha ha ha!)
