Happy New Year!!!!

 2011 brought us one beautiful addition to the family.  What a great year.  Only the best in store !!!

 Enjoying early fall conditions in the winter......and we're still doing so...c'mon snow, some people would probably like to ski right about now and bring some revenue dollars to the greater Reno/Tahoe area. 

 Maggie loves watching Sophie, it's going to be great when they can play together.  2012 will bring some fun times.

Tonight while reading Sophie a book titled "One snowy day", I explained to her "One of these days it's going to snow here and You, me, sissy, and mommy are going to go out in the snow and play in it."  She quickly replied "...and Pop Pop".  She went on to share vivid recollections of building a snow man with Pop Pop in the front yard.  It was great timing on your visit that time Dad.  She will always think of you when building a snow men and splashing in the "puddles".  I wanted to say "Happy Anniversary".  75 years of marriage is an amazing thing.  I only say that because it's true.....and I can't remember how many years it is for you guys, but none the less, I hope you had a nice time on your get-a-way and we love you.  Happy Anniversary and Happy New Year.

 Did I mention how pretty this little girl is. I have to say Emily does all the hard work for this blog.....that's taking the pictures.  I just get on here from time to time and comment on them........And I have to say as I browse my selections....My wife takes some great pictures.  Nice job Treatsy !!!

 Making sugar cookies.  Sophie is probably sitting here contemplating, "How can one mom be so cool? and how do they get the soy out of the sugar cookies.....Soy free sugar cookies, what an AWESOME concept.

 A stare down......"You're going down white one."

 We built a nice castle for Sophie's princess........"Hmmmmm...how to go about knocking this down?"  This child has a future demolition.  "I think I'll attack it at the base."

They never last long.
