Christmas Pictures

We went to Kiddie Kandids and took a few Christmas Pictures as well as Carys' 6 month old pictures. Enjoy!

Carys and her Pink Rubber Ducky

YOU WILL ALL LOVE THIS!

Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving was great this year. Here are a few pictures. We had breakfast at the Cracker Barrel, a Monsen family tradition, went to a movie, "Enchanted" - way cute!, and then had Thanksgiving dinner over at Connie and Jeff's house. There are also a few pictures of Carys and her new pink shoes (all for you Aunt Bekkah) and her first time eating toast and drinking out of her sippy cup!

GO UTES!!!!!!!!

My pretty Dress..and My Jumper

Halloween

We had such a fun time at a Halloween party where Rob was Prince Charming, I was the Queen of Hearts, and Carys was a Butterfly!

Our Baby Burton Buggers

This is the picture I saw of him and knew he had to be ours!

He does tend to put his snout in funny places to sleep.

He LOVED this pillow.. until he peed on it and it stank so I threw it away.

His ears were so big compared to his little body and every time he drank from his water bowl they got soaking wet! So I decided to give him a little help... :0)

Here he is at 5 months at his graduation from puppy school. Sometimes I really want my money back.

His first Christmas we gave him a bone that any other dog would have taken a year to eat. Burton had it gone in about a week.

This is where he use to like to nap, under her crib.

He use to just go and lay as close as he could without me beating him. Now he tried to avoid her because she likes to pull his ears.

Gross. I have to see this daily.

Daddy and his baby.

He wanted to sniff her so bad the whole first day home!

Look closely. Yes, that is a tongue soaking her cheek.

What a handsome boy!

All grown up!


This is our Burton! He was born on April 22, 2006. We bought him from a breeder in Missouri and he came to us the last weekend of June 2006, the weekend we moved into our house! He is gigantic now, weighing almost 90 lbs. When he stands on his back legs his front paws extend all the way up the the top of Rob's ears. Rob is about 6 feet tall or so. Our dog is kinda big...

Houston Surprise Trip!

Earlier this month my dad turned 50 so Carys and I made a surprise trip to celebrate! It was great to see my family's reactions when I came walking through the door! It was good to see everyone and have everyone see Carys and how big she is getting!

Disney World 2007

We ended this summer with a fun trip to Disney World! All of Rob's brothers and sisters went except for his brother Tommy and his wife Courtney and their little girl Berkeley. We left on a Tuesday morning and came home on a Sunday night. We spent a few days in Magic Kingdom and also spent time in Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney. Rob and I had never been to Disney World before so it was really fun. One day we even got to eat lunch in Cinderella's Castle with all the princesses! The only bad part about the whole trip was that it was absolutley miserably hot and humid. I thought I would be use to it because I was born and raised in Houston, but I was so wrong! Good thing the family only goes every couple of years, it would be way too miserable to do that every year. We also went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. It was a huge party for certain passholders after the parks close where everyone got to wear Halloween costumes and go trick or treating. There was a fun parade and lots of treats! That was my favorite part!
