Headed to Winterfest in Bend

We had a fantastic long weekend in Sunriver over Valentines and President's Day. This has become an annual trip with our friends. Unfortunately, we missed the Gibbins this year. We enjoyed some good cheer, good friends, 3 mile walks, and definitely good laughs! We are already looking forward to Sunriver 2010'! I don't have too many photos as Karen received an answer camera for Valentine's Day and I mainly used that. I will update with pics soon

Bulldog Puppies!

She likes to snuggle in her cozy blankets...kind of like her mom! :)

Ruby's safe place is her bed

Cooper looking outside like a little kid who wants to play on a rainy day!

Ruby too tilts her heads when you talk to her like Cooper

My friends Shanna and Nick recently purchased a Bulldog puppy! I think Jeff and I are about as excited as they are. She is actually the half-sister to Cooper. It is going to be so fun! It's like custody--we can have Ruby visit part time. Keep an eye out for my photos soon.

A fun and busy weekend was had last week. We headed up to Portland early on Saturday to enjoy our "pre-game" time with Happy Hour at Ash Street and Rock Bottom. It was a nice change from the usual Applebees and feeling rushed. We had another great game against San Jose with a big "W!" Mike joined us for his first Lacrosse game. It was great to hang out with Mike!

On Sunday morning the ladies planned a Baby Shower Brunch from Brenna at www.lacapitalesalem.com. We had a great time and Brenna received some cute stuff for the new Baby Girl which is due in March.

Tonight we are packing and getting ready for a five day trip to Sunriver with the Williams, Brackens and Garellis. I'm pretty sure there will be great pictures and stories to post when I return.
