The Makings of January

January is FINALLY over. It is one of the busiest months of the year for me. There is a NEW YEAR to prepare for, 7 family birthdays to celebrate and an extra day off of work. What could be more fun??!!

Amanda and I start off the festivities with birthdays on the 14th (me) and 15th (her). Amanda came over on the 14th for some cake and good cheer. We sang, ate and exchanged presents. A great time was had by all except Annie was missing as she was sick and Rick was in Portland.


On January 23rd I caught a big white bird and flew to Portland to celebrate Collette's 30th birthday (24th) and Rick's "special" 25th birthday (25th). I had a great visit with Rick, Rusty and Collette. I had the amazing experience of riding the train from the airport to downtown Portland. I was almost in the middle of two bums fighting! I also picked up some fashion ideas.. apparently there is a new look in Portland.. the storm trooper meets the tin man style. Sorry I didn't get a picture ... I was scared!!

We celebrated birthdays all weekend and then took a couple of "family" pictures by the lamp that Rusty and Collette gave Rick. I've got to mention here that Rick was so excited about his George Foreman grill AND his new mop that yours truly gave him! He couldn't wait to start mopping! Impressive...

And of course there was ROCK BAND...

We did several Kiddie Kandid poses but my camera was having a meltdown and they are SO blurred!! Dang ....

ahhhhhhh...... this one is funny....



I had a great time and am already planning my next trip!!
