Happy February!

Little Miss G has been getting very talkative lately. She is now saying Mommy, balloon, bubbles, please, doggy, moooo, more, all done, no, hi and her all time favorite...."Up", "Up", "Up", etc. She REALLY likes the movie "Up" and we have watched it about 100 times. It is a good thing her Mom and Dad like it too. It is quite amazing watching this little angel grow up in front of our eyes.

Little G having some fun tonight.
and some more....

Benny thought he would get in on the action.

Greta went to her first birthday party at The Ridge. She had a great time in the tunnels. Kristi climbed around with her.

The Super G

G and her Mom in the bubble.

Greta's friend Tyler. Tyler was in the baby room at daycare with G. He just moved into the next room with the bigger kids. Everyday, when I drop Greta off, he is sitting at the table giving me the "Hey" sign.

The birthday girl Morgan. She is 2 and is also in G's daycare.

Greta played on ALL the toys and had a blast.

We went for a walk in the snow.

Getting ready to walk the dogs.

G and me.

She was running around in just her diaper. She wanted to pull it off but couldn't quite get it done.

Happy New Year....belated post.

Happy New Year to all. I haven't gotten to the blog for a few weeks. Greta has been sick on and off since Christmas, along with Kristi and me. Greta was diagnosed this week with early signs of pneumonia. Pretty scary stuff. The Dr. put her on some meds and she is getting better slowly. It sure will be nice to have our healthy little princess back. I feel so bad for her not sleeping through the night.


Greta playing "Mommy" with Kristi's purse and her fancy new red shoes. What a cutie.

Kristi took G out to play in the street. They slid down the snow piles and had a great time.

Greta walking down the middle of the road. Good thing her snow suit is red and not white.

Greta is learning to brush her teeth. She is so interested in everything right now. This weekend she is into turning the light switches on, then off, then on, then off, then on....you get the picture.

Jimmy Gardner and Punk hangin' out.

My sweet girl...

Greta put Kristi's hat on. She looked adorable and the hat almost fit. The Huschka's have VERY small heads, and Kristi is no exception.
We spent New Year's Eve at Jill Jarrett's "Cabin" on Ennis Lake. I was under the weather and did not partake in the drinking festivities. As you can see....I was the only one. They are preparing the beers for shotgunning...

and then the final product.

Greta was given a cookie for Christmas. It had black frosting which looked pretty wild on her mouth and teeth.

Merry Christmas to all!

We have been in Ellensburg now since early Wednesday morning. We made the all night drive after work Tuesday and rolled in at 2:30 a.m.. We were able to sleep in and have Grandma and Grandpa watch the G. Thank you!

Christmas has been fun. We are here with all of Kristi's brother and sisters. Lots of laughs and good times. Greta is having a great time with all the craziness as well as the tons of family to entertain.

We took Greta to the Mall to see Santa Clause. Unfortunately, he wasn't scheduled to arrive for 3 hours. We tried to wait it out, but failed. G did get her letter written to Santa though.

Picture of Greta's cousin Seth. We have teased him about being a little girl since he was little and it just doesn't get old. Jim wrapped one of G's presents for him to open. His Mom Theresa is to his right. G looking at her big cousin Seth. She loves being around kids of all ages.

Greta and her Aunt Pam. She LOVES Pam.

I don't remember the white elephant gift, but I am sure it was good.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

2 weeks till Christmas....party, party, party

Kristi and I have been quite the socialites the last few weeks. My company party at Chico Hot Springs a week ago Friday, Kristi's party this past Friday and many functions for work during the week. We also had a 40th Birthday party for Mike Jarrett on Thursday night. I think I am going to have to go to dry-out and weight watchers when the season is over.

Kristi and I at her Christmas party at Looie's downunder in Bozeman.

Kristi and Joe Deason at my party.Joe, Josh and I having a shot with the "Cops". We have 3 husbands of employees who are in law enforcement. 2 with the Sheriffs office and 1 with the Bozeman City Police.
Me having a little too much fun at Kristi's party. Yikes.

Greta messing around in the dog's bed in front of the fire. She is so much fun right now. She doesn't slow down for a second.

We were outside taking some pictures for our Christmas card. It was really cold, but the G didn't seem to mind. She did have a nose plant in the snow which didn't make her very happy.

Greta playing around.

We put her in her Christmas dress while we (Kristi) decorated the tree.

G in black and white.

For some reason she loves to get behind our chair. I think it is because we don't want her back there. She is starting to learn how to push my buttons.
