THIS HAS BEEN IN MY DRAFTS SINCE JANUARY!!!

Jan 25, 2018

Happy New Year!  Gosh the fall went by so fast.  I'll post these photos that will tell about where and what we've been up to.  I've gotta do better on the blog.  I like to refer to it quite often.  I'll let the photos speak for themselves...

Christmas at Memaw and Grandad's

Ori got Stella that big S light :)

We had Bettie and Heilbron over for soup before Christmas....Ori's brading Cooper's hair and the Bradshaw girls
played dress up...so fun having them over

Chloe was a reader for our Christmas Eve service

Memaw and Grandad got Ori a picture of them blown up on a canvas...so cute

Biscuit, typical on Christmas morning, getting into Matt and Meme's gift of treats....

We had a wonderful lunch at Kara's on Christmas Day

I believe it was August that got this blurry photo!

We did crackers after lunch with Bettie's crew....so fun!

Matt and Meme invited us to go with them to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena....we had a great time.
It was 10 degrees in Birdeye and 75 in LA.  THANK YOU Meme and Matt!! What a great trip!
This is at the Observatory that overlooks LA

These guys were cruising Rodeo Drive in these vintage cars....the girls let me get a quick snapshot of them

Another hot rod rolling by....

WHEW...The Rose Bowl Parade starts at 8 am Pacific which meant these two and Jackie
stayed out till 1 am and we had to leave at 7 am in an Uber to make it to the parade.
We did make it, but barely.....


The girls were mad at all my photo taking, they were half asleep



At the Rose Bowl, poor OU looked like they were going to win but lost in overtime, so sad....

Gary, Jackie, Mom, me and Ori  (Dang it Gary's eyes are shut)

At the Observatory...squint and you can see the Hollywood sign

We stayed in a VRBO condo a few blocks from Mom and Gary's hotel which was the host
hotel for OU.  Across from it was the Staples Center where this ginormous Shaq statue is

I'm embarrassed I don't know who this OU Player is but the girls enjoyed getting a pic with him

We really loved Santa Monica...we took an Uber and went to their famous boardwalk...
so much fun and the weather was divine!
Santa Monica

Jackie took the girls to the Downtown LA New Year's Eve party...they had a blast

Buddy got a hair cut right after this....Blogger organizes photos so weirdly.  Meme and Matt took us all to LA but
also sent Christmas gifts, so nice...It took us hours to open it all...and a lot of fun...



Cute side shot of Coco

Chloe on Rodeo Drive

New Year's Eve dinner....so sorry it's so blurry (dang waiter)
At Halloween we had a space at the chamber of commerce's Trick or Treat at Village Creek
and Ori and Chloe helped with the vet clinic's campsite.  So cute

The girls took Gumball with them to pick out our tree...the funny thing is that CoCo wanted
a BIG tree this year and that's what we got.  We couldn't keep the darn thing up the first
day, it fell 3 times....note to self for next year...

Jackie and I took the girls with us to New Orleans on the Levee Board Trip...this
is Jackson Square

A tradition now since Chloe could walk is to take candy to the Cross County Courthouse
for all the staff on the last day it's open before Christmas break...and of course, Chloe's always
taken dogs with her......and now Ori, so much fun!

This was in 2004 at the courthouse with Emmy.  Look at Chloe sporting her OU shoes and
OSU jacket....so cute.  You can tell Emmy was not a kid dog at all....but she'd been all over
the country at this point in the show ring so she could hang....so cute!
