A Pug's Life

Here's to my birthday boy-Vinny. Vinny's Birthday is March 2nd and he will be 7... or 49 :0 lol !

Look at this little cutie with his George!

"the Sweet Life'

This past Sunday the Winter Family went for a little drive. We drove sixty miles just past Riggins to the Twin Bridges; the temperture was 62 degrees! The sun was shining, there was green grass, and none of us were wearing snow coats! [To all you people who live where daffodils are already popping up (you know who you are) ---thhbbbst!]I now know who Lola looks like- her Daddy! Until I saw these pictures I didn't think she looked like either of us. Boy, was I wrong!



I was reading the description of a CD yesterday I can't recall it perfectly but it said something to the point of when you hear this music you won't be able to keep from tapping your toe and being completely happy-it was for people who enjoy the sweet life. While I was reading the description the scene playing in my head of what "the sweet life" is looked more like a scene from a Hollywood movie than my life. I'm not sure why that is but going back through all the pictures we took in Riggins, I know exactly what "the sweet life" is- I am living it!

Playdate

My friend Taira and her daughter Saige (she is 10 months older than Lola) came over to visit on Friday afternoon. The computer repairman came that day and I wasn't to keen on being home alone with a guy who sounded kinda creepy on the phone so we had a playdate. The guy- although he smelled of stale cigarettes, turned out to be really nice. But it was nice to have friends over! I loved watching Saige and Lola together and got some great memories captured on film. Not to mention some way cute footage that will be fun to show them later down the road!

Tech Problems and Random Pics

I've been having some technical problems to say the least. I have had my new computer for exactly three weeks today and the company is in the process of building me a new one to exchange with this one that I am using now. But since this computer is working for the time being, I am in desperate need of blogging. I had no idea what a big part of my life the internet had become until my computer refused to work for four days. No email, no blogging, no online shopping, no googling- should I be concerned about the kind of stay at home mom I am becoming? So to kind of catch up on my blogging I have a few pictures that I just love that need to be shared in Blogging Land

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I was going to take some pictures of Lola this weekend and send them out as Valentine's but we had sickness in our house instead. Oh, well. But I thought I might share this devilishly cute picture of Lola anyway!

Martha Calling!!!

I got a 53 piece Wilton Cake decorating set complete with beginners book and bonus leaf making pamphlet! (lol) Tahoe has started calling me Martha. I just wanted to show off a couple of my creations. The sombrero cake with cactus' was for Tahoe's Uncle Bill; who was visiting from Vegas. We celebrated at Chapala's Mexican Restaurant so I thought this cake would be fitting. The cupcake tower wasn't really a lot of work, it was for Sierra's 25th Birthday and her favorite cake is "Funfetti with Funfetti frosting". It's a fun way to let my creativity out and not have the final project get pushed to the side eventually and gather dust. Besides people love cake!

Moving Snow

These days I feel like I live in a snow globe! It has been snowing like crazy! Tahoe spent the past week at an insulation class in Minnesota (Ay!) so before he left us he did a lot of snow moving. I got Lola all bundled up so she could sit on her Daddy's lap and assist. I think she liked it, and she wasn't scared a bit!
