Capital Tour

Check-Another thing off the list!

Last weekend we did a tour of the Capital! What an experience. Josh was able to get us tickets before they reopen! They are offering tours to government employees-They are in there trial period. I couldn't take Pictures inside; Sorry! When we left for the Metro it was 27 degrees-Brrr!

Josh, April, Richard, and Javier
April finished her first full Marathon we are so proud of her!

Way to go APRIL!!!

We had a great time in Texas. We all just wish we could of spent a few more days. It's always fun seeing friends and family. The Kice home is beautiful! And Ethan of coarse is getting so big and is a blast to play with. April is starting a new class and we wish her all the luck! Study hard April.

Richard took the day off and gave us a tour of San Antonio. We did the water front and the Alamo. I got some shopping in and the boys went to see the new James Bond movie! The race went well. There were so many runners hopefully they can fix the hang ups for next year. Josh and Richard did the half marathon and April did her first full. She looked great!

Ju-Ju

Ju-Ju's going to the "Puppy Resort" (aka kennel) I feel so bad for him. I picked out one of his favorite toys but as you see from the picture he has so many bitches! It was hard to tell what one he would be in the mood for this weekend. I couldn't pack all of his bad babies and frankly I think he's pissed. I'm sure the girl with the many piercings will take great care of him but I wish he could go with us. It's sad to be the puppy!

The day I took this picture, Josh said we needed to throw out some of his babies. We made a plan and Josh decided to throw every toy and what ever Ju-Ju didn't catch would be the toys we would throw out. Well I would hate to tell you the score-But lets put it this way Ju-Ju is keeping all of his babies!!! Josh was tossing them high in the air. He was putting a little umph behind it. And simply trying to trick the puppy. It didn't work. Ju-Ju has a heaping basket of toys to prove it.

Black Betty

Here is our old car "Black Betty." I caught Josh looking at old pictures and he seems to be missing her! Josh bought her for me when I got to Germany. But it was a gift he pretty much kept for himself. He loved driving her. We traveled Europe cruising the Autobahn-One of the many things I miss about Germany. And the fact that everyone drove really good! Fast cars to the left-flash your brights and MOVE!!! I think Ju-Ju misses her too because he was really good at shedding only his white hair in the car-that's Josh's story anyways. We took Black Betty to Paris, Cinque Terre, the Alps...We took here on a lot of trips/or she took us and we miss her dearly.

Birthday Wish

Happy Birthday Kalie!

This past week we had another B-day girl in the family! I haven't heard yet on how she spent her big day, but I can only imagine all the fun they had. I hope Kalie didn't eat too much cake.

A day at the Beach!

We had some more visitors! Gary and Brig came out to see us. The first few days they wandered the local area. When Josh snuck away from the office we headed for the beach. We ended up staying at these cute little cabins-a switch for us, so Josh and I really enjoyed it. We spent some time walking the beach looking at the sand dunes, lighthouses, and the ships out in the ocean. In the afternoon-they couldn't take it anymore they wanted to say they swam in the ocean! Brrr! Josh said his legs went numb. It looked cold. I took some great action shots and prayed to God they wouldn't get me wet! Ju-Ju had a blast running the beach acting like a mad man. He was so wore out we had to take a nap when we got back!

We played cards and had to laugh because we didn't have poker chips or change so we were using beer tops! We ended up walking around and having a pretty relaxed weekend, eating snacks all day long. Ju-Ju was such a good boy! I was so proud of him. He has such a personality and is a really good traveler!
