If a tree falls in the forest...

I was thinking today...  If you don't post for over a year can you still call yourself a blogger?  Is your dusty old blog still *actually* a blog?  Who am I to keep this blog from fulfilling its purpose?  I mean, all it wants to do is look pretty and have some (hopefully) clever posts on it.  How hard could that be really?

Its not like there were no blog-worthy events over the last year.  There were plenty!

There was the trip to Disneyland...

Where Punkin' fell in love with the Tea cups

and Tigger

Where Bunny charmed a Ranger,

Punkin' never did dislodge Excalibur

But still managed to have some fun

And Papa got to have fun in the sun with some REAL characters for his birthday

There was an avocado planting...

Just save the pit from an avocado, push toothpicks in and prop it in water 

(should cover 3/4 of the pit)

After it sprouts remove from water and plant

Always made easier by a super cute helper!  

There was some foolin' around...

And some flower pickin'

A few hairs were cut...

hold your breath and say goodbye...

Ooooo.... who *is* that handsome man!?!

Punkin got tired of the tangles

Beautiful girl!

We celebrated our country's independence... 

W and the men did a lovely job... as usual

... a birthday dinner to remember...

mmmmmm....sushi!

There was and All Hallows Eve full of witches (good ones of course)...

  and a Mad "tea" party

...a visit with Aunt Dix and Gamma Dee...

She was all smiles after the camera was away... I swear.

A Christmas full of memories (and toys)...

Our traditional (last minute) $10 tree!

Snowman pancakes!

and stockings (of course). 

...a little snow...

In Sacramento of all places

...some super fun birthdays...

Helping make Sissy's cupcakes

Oooo... look at it spin!

Her favorite part of helping

The birthday girl gets her favorite dinner

Make a wish!

The party was "Funtastic"

What?  Who said the grownups can't have some fun too?!?

...an Easter in the park with family and friends...

...and a pirate invasion.

How do you drive this thing?

"Aaarrrgggg, matey!"

I guess its not such a bad thing, not really; being so busy living your life that you don't post about it.  Its been a fun ride.  Lots of stress, lots of fun, lots of love, and LOTS of cleaning!
