Moxie's New Profile page




I guess I'm on a Moxie kick lately - must be the long cold winter, cabin fever setting in and the only living being I see all the time is my dog!!  No, not so true - although, the long, cold winter part is definitely true!! The days are getting longer, it's actually still light out when I get home from work these days!!
Anyway - the point to this blog - I just set up a new profile page for Moxie on this site!

To go directly to her page click on this link:

How fun is that?!  Yeah, I know - get a life!!  But she is pretty cute!
Stay warm - spring is coming!!
Love,
Moxie's Mum

Moxie's Marvelous Makeover

Poor Moxie - I've been intending to get her groomed for a long, long time - even had some appointments that were cancelled and re-scheduled and re-cancelled again.  I finally got her into "High Tails" which is in the "Rascals" store on Edmonton Trail.  They did a fabulous job on her.....and she wasn't stressed at all when I picked her up - usually she shakes for hours afterwards - even when I had to  put her sweater on her because it was -22 outside!  So here's some before and after pictures of her.

It looks like she lost about 20 pounds - but it is so nice and soft again!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Christmas 2010 - Full house - it was so much fun to have all my kids home and another 3 couples join us for Christmas dinner and gift exchange and games.  The day went by SO fast!!  And then to have another full week with Ayla and Ron and Lane and Jocelyn was absolutely superb!!   Here's some photo's to show how we spent most of our time................

This is Christmas Eve when everyone had to grill their own food on Hot Stones - so delicious!!





Christmas morning.........







Christmas Dinner...........






I'm so sorry I didn't get any pictures of the guests!! - I guess I was too busy eating!! 

(or sleeping??!!)


Ruger and I rested while Ayla and Jocelyn stuck their heads over bowls of steaming hot water........



THAT's why they are so beautiful!!




This gives you an idea of how we spent our days.........games, food, puzzles



and lots and lots of books.......



Quite a variety - guess which ones belongs to who???

And just some random ones.....
