Colorado Springs Zoo July 2008

Samuel and Nicholas with the giraffes! They got to feed them right out of their hands. They were very friendly and in your face!

Pike's Peak

It was very cold in this picture even though it was July! Neenee and DanDan (Dick and Sandy) went with in this trip.
The funniest thing happened to Meredith as we climbed the stairs going up to the top of the waterfalls at Seven Falls--Meredith lost her flip flop and it fell into the pool of water below. Boy, did everyone stare at us as we descended the stairs. It was traumatic for Meredith and her shoe was never recovered! "Some things are not meant to be laughed at," she said seriously.

Colorado Springs

This was from our trip to Colorade Springs in July. This was taken in front of the waterfalls at Seven Falls. This is a special spot for Todd and I as we had our picture made here in 1996 when we started dating. A little has changed, i.e. the kids are now in it!!

All of us

At Disneyland, they take your picture at every event. This was before a Character Breakfast.
Walking from the Disneyland Hotel to the park.

Minnie and Meredith

I selected this one because it shows Meredith's very girly mannerisms!

Disneyland 2008

This was a surprise trip for the kids right before school started! The kids are wearing the Fast Passes around their necks from the "Year of a Million Dreams" promotion. We were selected to receive these fast passes that let us get to the beginning of the lines! I think Disney owed us from all the trips we have taken there!

Looking back at 2008

On our way back from Disneyland we stopped in Las Vegas to eat. The kids got these balloon hats made at the Rainforest Cafe.

I love this picture with Meredith's red bow! Todd edited this picture of us taken Christmas night.

Meredith in one of my outfits!

Here is Mer in one of the outfits I made for her. Just so you can look for yourself at my ebay store, here is the address: www.Stores.ebay.com/Handmade-Boutique-by-Michelle.

Daisy

Daisy, is that cat food you are eating? Look at that guilty look in her eyes! I don't know how Figgy keeps getting fatter when Daisy always steals her food!

Figaro

Here's "Figgy", as he is affectionately called. As Todd is getting used to his new camera, he uses Figaro as his model. Out if kindness, I did not choose a picture that points out his funny tooth!

Discovery Center

Here is Meredith at the Puckett Discovery Center Night. She is making a
bubble as big a s her at the table!

Nicholas


Nicholas was the big football player this fall. He played left outside linebacker.

Samuel


Here is Samuel! He now has contacts that he wears when he wants to. He has been doing wrestling as his sport.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Mer outside!

Todd and I going to a party


This was us all dressed up and going to Todd's company party. My hair made it a whole night without going in a ponytail. Yum, steak and lobster!

This was supposed to be our Christmas card photo but we decided to try again, which never happened. It's true, I did not send Christmas cards this year, so if you did not get one it was not that I didn't like you!!!

Christmas 2008

See this beautiful Texas weather at the end of December! The kids are outside in the front yard at a wonderful 70 degrees! We celebrated the Fleischman family Christmas at our house. Since this is my first post, I will remind everyone that Samuel is 10 1/2, Nicholas 9 1/2 and Meredith is 6. Figaro is almost 2.
