Zena's 10th Birthday

Zena is 10 years old today. I cannot believe it! This is the longest Michael and I have had a dog...ever. I never had a dog growing up for that long and neither did Michael. We had Keesha for 6 years before she got really sick (with what we think was bacteria from the ocean water she swallowed when she was underwater in the tide pools).

Zena has been a wonderful dog. She is always so happy and frolicky. She can sometimes be a little air-headed, but she just wants to be with us and please us. She is wonderful. She dances with me when I go out in the garage to spot Jar in his weight-lifting. She also puts her paw on Jar's foot when he is out in the garage working out with weights...she is trying to get his attention to rub her belly.

She is the dog that Michael picked out when we went to pick out dogs. Jar and I had picked out Keesha 2 cause she was so little and so cute. It is a good thing that we also took home Zena, because she has been the one that has been the best dog for us.

Happy Birthday, Zena!

Favorite Ornaments

We do not do a themed Christmas tree or color Christmas tree. For us, it is all about our favorite ornaments...ornaments that have meaning behind them.

...for our first date - Robinhood


...because Cam works in the deli and makes lots of burgers


...Michael and I both had this toy when we were growing up, and I bought one at a yard sale for the boys when they were little


...the boys had one of these when they were little


...Jar's love of drums


...I bought this for Michael the first Christmas we went away in Sisters


...for our camping adventures


...our trip to California


...Cam's love of Star Wars



...I made this ornament when we went away to Sisters for Christmas


...Cam plays the Cello
