Who's my Valentine?

Yep, that's him!!  We stayed at home for Valentine's day. (The pictures are taken from before. One from a german restaurant in Fredricksburg, TX and the other from the Eagles.)  Ed cooked up a couple of steaks on the grill while I cooked a couple of lobsters inside. WOOHOO... it was yummy. Watched a movie on TV and all was wonderful!!

Ed's Birthday

Ed turned the big 69 on the 31st. We invited friends over on the 30th for some snacks and a few drinks.
Everyone had a good time. We just kicked back around the house on his actual b'day. Talked to the kids and grandkids,
 the best part of any day.

Eagle's Anniversary

The weekend of Jan. 15,16,17th was the club's anniversary. With me being pres. I was busy for the whole thing. On Friday, basically it was just happy hour with lots of the people from out of town coming in. More made it in early than I expected. We did not stay long. On Sat. the ladies had a big 'tea party' for a meeting. Then the big banquet dinner/ meeting/ dance that evening. We did give away right at $35,000.00 to charities. Rather good in this economy.

The tea party- A Mad Hatter's Tea Party.

Giving away monies with my partner in crime, Jon.

And a dance with honey-baby to top off the night.

January in Texas

Ed gets to meet my clan.  The top photo is my daughter Jessica with my oldest granddaughter, Lauryn.

The second photo is Lauryn 7, Logan 5, and Hayden soon to be 2 doing the chicken dance.

Ed and the little terrorist. We went to San Antonio to see my kids the first part of Jan. It's always wonderful seeing the kids, but this was Ed's first meeting with all of them. Yes, he was a hit with them. Ed, ED, Ed......I think he won them over. ha!  Hayden cracked us up with the quote of, "I the terrorist" Can't tell Dad's in the military. Only bad part of the trip was that it was 14 degrees down there. We were hoping to warm up.

Christmas and New Year's Eve 2009

Christmas was a little different with no kids around. We missed all of our children and grandkids.
We had a good time just doing a bunch of nothing. Watched some movies and had prime rib for 2.
On New Year's eve we went to the Eagles for dinner and then to some friends for a little while. I want
everyone to know that Ed and I both stayed awake until midnight. A miracle for both of us who normally go to bed at 9pm. The neighbor behind us set off some fancy fireworks at midnight, we had our kiss and promptly went to bed.

Eagles Auxiliary

We have fun at our meetings. I am President this year (until June), this was our meeting before Christmas.
