Christmas Pics

I ran out of time to get Christmas cards printed and mailed this year but here are some pics I took just in case.

Finally Feeding the Ducks

We have been trying to take Bucky to feed the ducks since arriving in PC but they were not cooperating very well. So on this day they were sitting on the banks when we arrived. They enjoyed their bread a lot! And so did Bucky!

Baby Shower

We had a shower for Alisa and Baby Jazzlyn after her arrival at O'Charley's. The brunch was wonderful, she got lots of nice things, and the cupcakes were delicious. As you can see, Jazzlyn thoroughly enjoyed herself ;).

Cute Little Feet

So sweet!

She was trying to eat his hair :) 

He Loves His Cousin

Christmas Parade

We took Bucky to the Christmas Parade again this year. He was very moody at first but quickly warmed up to the idea once he realized candy was involved but you had to work for it (i.e. run out in the road and get it before someone else did). We were about to leave when I spotted Santa rapidly approaching on his fire truck. Bucky waved and said, "Happy Christmas!" He had a really good time so I'm happy we went and stayed the whole time.

Friday Fest?

Mom and I attempted to take Bucky to the tree lighting downtown but they lit the tree 15 minutes early so we missed it. Then we walked up and down Harrison for the worst Friday Fest ever. Nobody was there so we weren't sure what was going on. We had a good walk but not as much fun as we were expecting. It was a great night to get out though.

Saluting in Front of the Tree

What a Ham!

Baby Jazzlyn meets Buzz

Buzz Lightyear that is :). I picked up this costume for cheap today while shopping and he just had to wear it all afternoon and night. He also decided he wanted to help feed Jazzlyn so I let him try. He did a wonderful job! And it made him so Happy!

Hooba Shupple

My mom has introduced Bucky to the Cupid Shuffle. He asks to do it from the moment she gets home until he gets his way, which he inevitably does.

What's That Spell?

She's HERE!!

Jazzlyn Diem Kirkland made her debut early this afternoon. She weighed 6.4 lbs, was 19" long, and has 1" of black hair. Mom and baby are doing great!! And everyone is so excited she is here!

The Many Identities of Bucky

I bought Bucky a few costumes from Walmart when they went on clearance after Halloween. The kid loves dressing up so I figured it was definitely worth it :).

And of course I have to include one of Rascal :)

God Bless the USA

"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day [Veterans Day] will be filled with lots of pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."

Happy Halloween!!

Bucky and I joined Katie and Lisa, Angie, and Aiden for trick-or-treating at the mall and then around housing at Fort Carson. They all had a really great time and got a LOT of candy. The cookie place in the mall actually gave out free cookies to the kids. As you can see, when Bucky was done, he was done. He has a habit of just laying down wherever he happens to be when is ready to go home. All in all it was a great time for all!
