The Past Few Months...

I cannot believe I have not blogged since November!  Well, here is what we have been up to the last few months:

We have a new puppy at our house.  His name is Laban and he turned a year old on January 27th.

Laban smiling for the camera!

He's pretty cute, huh?  Laban has learned (Thanks to David, mostly.) how to bring in the paper, sit, lay down, shake, and roll over.  He's also my new walking buddy!  Check out www.choctawlabs.net if you would like a sweet, smart four-legged family member.  A local photographer was offering pet portraits to raise money for our local Humane Society, so we took Laban.  Guess who ended up in the ad?

Yep, there he is front and center!

We have been enjoying some really good food, too! The hubby has mastered the art of homemade pizzas (with dough from scratch I might add) as well as being a grill master!

We celebrated Collin's 13th birthday!

My Christmas present  this year was a Viking Cooking School Class - Cupcakes and Cake Pops!  Yummy and Fun!

We celebrated Valentine's Day and our 16th anniversary at our (my) favorite place Delta Bistro.  We chose to sit at the "Chef's Table."  We got to sit in the kitchen and watch the chefs prepare our food.  They talked with us and chose the dishes for us.  Needless to say, it was absolutely delicious!

In my opinion, this is definitely something that you must try!  Check out their website at www.deltabistro.com.  You will be so glad you did!  

We celebrated David's 22nd birthday in Memphis during our annual trip to see the Beale Street St. Patrick's Day Parade.  We started the day at Celtic Crossing and enjoyed some delicious Irish food, beverages and music.

Do you see the leprechaun?

Once again, it was hard to get Collin into the spirit of things.

 Then on to the parade.  Beale was packed!  The weather was great and the parade was a lot fun as always!

Last but certainly not least, our sweet Mia ran away.  We are once again a "catless" home.   I have decided to give up on cats for a while.  It's just too hard on you when they're gone.

Well, that's all of the randomness for now.  I hope to post more frequently now that summer is rolling in!
