American Idol on the Wii

One of the biggest hits in Arizona this New Year's was American Idol on the Wii. We usually did guys vs. girls. It really wasn't fair, because the guys always beat the girls.

Here are the men dominating
and the women losing

New Year's Murder Party

For New Year's, we had a murder mystery party at Lisa's sister's house. It was fun. We all really enjoyed dressing up.

Do you like my chocolate cigar?

Christmas at the Gaylord

While in Texas we went out to the Gaylord hotel and hung out for a little while. For those of you who know nothing about the Gaylord, it is a hotel, but it is like its own little city also. It was very nice.

Honor the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to thee;

I found this fake trumpet and had to give it a little toot!

Merry Christmas 2008

This year, Lisa, Baxter, and I traveled all around. We started out by going down to Texas to spend Christmas. Then, we went to Clovis, NM to visit my Grandpa, and then out to Albuquerque to visit my Aunts and Uncles. After that, we made it to Tempe to spend New Years with Lisa's family. All in all, it was awesome! I was a bit worried that Lisa was going to have a lot of discomfort, but she did just fine. Here is the first batch of the pics.

My family and the dogs on Christmas day
Lisa in Illinois before we left. Snowy!!

Baxter celebrating Christmas. Suprisingly enough, he didn't mind the hat. He usually hates junk like that.

This was one of my gifts to Lisa. I made the headboard and the FAMILY frames. Also, she got a matching bedspread.

Here is Baxter on the road. He pretty much put himself wherever he wanted. He had a hard time getting comfortable because there is no room on mommy's lap, so he had to settle for daddy. Once during the trip, we looked over and he was sitting in the cooler (there was no ice in it). He is a funny little dog.

Baxter made the Nice list!

We took Baxter to his favorite place, the Petsmart grooming Center. Baxter had his nails clipped, ears cleaned and a nice peppermint bath. Then we saw Santa! He said, "He's such a good dog." He did so well for the picture. :)

Christmas cookies

Lisa and I decorated sugar cookies the other night. They were pretty delish.

Trampoline Dodgeball

Here is a video of a couple of friends and I at Skyzone in St. Louis. It is a place where you play dodgeball on a trampoline.

President Bush and I have the same doctor

Well, I meant to post this after I got back from Peru, but I forgot. Anyway, I have a story that will not soon be forgotten from Peru.

While I was there, I got really sick but I stuck it out and kept working. While we were taking a break, I went into a store and asked if they had any tums. A secret service agent over heard me and asked me what was going on. I told him I had been throwing up the night before and he went and told another agent. The other agent (who was extremely paranoid) got on the phone immediately with the U.S. embassy medical and whitehouse medical. He got a hold of the President's doctor and he said that he could see me. So, we went over to where the President was and because they didn't want to pull the doctor too far away from the president, they pulled the president out of his meeting and put him in a holding area while I met with his doctor in the parking garage. It was crazy. I guess it is cool to say that I got to see the President's doctor
