WARNING!!! Extreme Cuteness!

The 'adults' won these glasses at Peter Piper Pizza the night before (PARTY!!) and I had a vision of this exact picture as we redeemed our tickets for these pop bottle glasses that were in the glass case-o-prizes. We love our Eli boy! His age is so fun right now. He is doing his CHEESE face where he slides his jaw to one side. That white thing in the left (his left) of his mouth is a molar.

Elijah digging out back in Grandpa's flower bed (no flowers were harmed). He's such a ham.

I had to make up for that last Halloween picture. Here is a better representation of Elizabeth's heart-stopping beauty. And that is a freshly picked rose (take notes boys) in her ear from yours trully. HUBBA-HUBBA!

MOMMY SPOILS ME!!!




You can't go wrong w/ the 'ol HOT DOG AND MUSTARD number for Halloween!

Why we haven't been able to pull our troops out of Iraq

This was not staged. This was an actual video shot in Iraq, at a U.S.-led training facility. Pretty funny/ sad huh?

2nd annual Indio,CA Trip

I, and five other buddies, went to the rural Palm Springs area over this last weekend to 'get our hands wet' doing some dental work. We were all able to do some pretty interesting procedures and watch some really great dentists in action. It was well worth the drive and gas money. Here's a quick link to the write-up in the local paper if you're interested. I'm the one on the left, partially covered by the assistant.

We also had Miriam and Spencer come up for the weekend. Catherine and Chloe came up as well, driving separate. Liz and Elijah really enjoyed their company over the weekend while I was gone. The Tackett girls will be here until tomorrow and Chloe is so dang cute. It's been great to have some family up in LV!


This was the line at 7 am when we showed up! If you look close, you can see the line snaking around the corner and into the parking lot.
