My sister Jeannie. She passed away at the age of 5 from complications of a brain aneurysm.
These are all the pictures that I have of her. She was so cute.
I can't even imagine what life would be like with her around.
I was checking my email when I realized it was awfully quiet in the livingroom. A little too quiet, even for her. She's a noisy multi-tasker with her toys while watching Blues Clues, talking to the dog and occasionally sipping her cup of juice. But this time, it was really quiet, more than normal. So I get up to go see if maybe she fell asleep (yeah, right) or something. Look in the livingroom, no Korey. Look into the bedroom, no Korey. Great, she must be in the kitchen again. As I cross the path of the stairs to my left, I stop dead in my tracks, take in a huge gasp of air as I am catching sight of this.......
She was on the 10th step of a 13 step flight of stairs. She can't even walk yet, but she can crawl and climb like she was training to compete in it at the Olympics!
Needless to say, I have a gate up now.
It's a new adventure everyday with her. She's growing up so fast. Tomorrow I expect her to be cooking me breakfast in bed all by herself.
Side note to Kasey:
Honey, I sure wish I had computer skills and a digital camera back when you were little. The things your sister does reminds me so much of you at her age.
TEE HEE HEE! These pics make me giggle!
Soooooo '80's stuck in the '90's! LOL
WE LOVE YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday, Korey! I hope Barbara is right about always having luck on your side.
Love Mommy
This is freaking hilarious! I think I kinda look like Vince Neil.

How to take Flattering Photos of Yourself
Oh, have mercy! I HATE having my picture taken. These pages have some great tips on how to make yourself look thinner, strike a distinguished pose and make yourself look more relaxed in photographs.
I especially like the tip from this page:
Get a better photographer. Professional photographers generally know how to bring out the beauty in people. You can’t always choose your photographer, but sometimes you can. If you’re going to put up a shot for an online dating service, consider enlisting a professional. If you need headshots for modeling, get the best professional you can find.
Ha! Like a better photographer is going to rid me of my dark circles and belly pooches.
To keep it even between my girls, I have to post a picture of Korey to counter-balance the one of Kasey I posted a couple days ago. I don't want any sibling rivalry started on my behalf. Both of my babies are gorgeous!
This is on my list of 101/1,001 Things To Do list. I'm not sure if I have the patience for something like this. I sure like how it looks though. I'm going to give it a try soon and will document my progress for you.
Introducing.....
*~*DOTTIE DOG*~*
She's an 8 month old Chihuahua.
I know I said I would never get a dog as long as we lived in this sardine can of a house but when this dog was described to me over the phone, I just couldn't say no. Kasey has always wanted a Chihuahua or a poodle because she thinks they are strictly indoor dogs and do not want to stay outside like our b
eagle, Shiloh, always did. We had to give Shiloh away before we moved in here. See, we live in a small house not 30 feet from the street with no fenced yard. Not a great place to have a dog, that's for sure. I've said since we moved here that I didn't want another dog until we had a fenced yard so that I wouldn't have to take it out on a leash to go potty.
Bubba wasn't none too thrilled to be getting a dog but I insisted and pretty much didn't give him a choice in the matter. He doesn't clean up after it, take it outside, feed it or anything else for that matter, so why should he care if we have a dog in the house?
Anyway, we are all getting along fabulously. She's a smart dog. Loves her monkey toys and loves the baby. We fixed up a small cable run out the back door. I clip the end of it to her collar, she runs out, barks at the dog next door a couple times so he won't watch her poop, does her business and comes right back up to the door when she is done.
And she sleeps with Kasey every night.....which Kasey just loves.
Kasey told me a couple days ago that she feels so much better since getting a dog. She's not lonely at night and she says she feels better having more responsibility.
Boy, does she have some surprises coming as she gets older as far as feeling good about having more responsibilities.....heehee
