Does Santa live at Petsmart?

Yes, once again I'm going to admit our embarassing obsession with our babies...ahem...dogs. Well, they're all we have, so they are our babies!!! We picked them up from the puppy hotel after our vacation and surprised them with Christmas goodies! Toys never last long in our house, but I believe Chloe set a new record in dismembering her little stuffed baby. Bella was more focused on the candy cane shaped rawhide bone.

Could Chloe's eyes get any bigger??? "Please mama, give me my treats!"


Check out the little pink dog's teeth...it's got this big stupid grin on it's face while it's being attacked!

The severed remains...

Freedom Journey


In December of 2006, just 2 years after Byron died in Iraq, we decided to take a "Freedom Journey." We spent 3weeks on a road trip through the eastern US - from Austin east to Savannah, then all the way north to New England, and back a little inland to Texas. We traveled over 6000 miles in an effort to see our beautiful country and understand what Byron sacrificed his life for. We drove scenic routes, through small towns and big cities, stopping at places that held history in shaping our nation. We stopped at Veteran's Memorials, National Cemeteries, historical monuments and some of the most beautiful places in America. In each place, we left a "Freedom Rock," a smooth stone that had Byron's name and KIA date on one side, and said "Freedom Isn't Free" on the other. It was our way of taking Byron with us and leaving a bit of him in each special place. This experience was so healing for us, and truly one of the most memorable and special events of our entire lives. Here are our favorite pictures from the Freedom Journey.
