Holiday 2008

Season's Greetings!

Halloween 2008

This Halloween, I decided to make Missy Lou a costume. Earlier this year, the movie Underdog came out. When I saw the movie, I knew that I had to make the costume for Missy.

She was a pretty good sport about it. She let me take it on and off her alot when I was making it. She even didn't mind the cape that was attached.

On Halloween we took her over to Trent's parents house so they could see Underdog. They loved the costume.

See, I don't need a kid - I have a dog!

Camping in Colorado

June 26-July our family went camping in Montrose Colorado. Those who came were: Todd, Mary, Greg, Madi, Troy, Pam, Lauren, Logan, David, RoseMarie, Trent and Nichole. We stayed at a campground on the western slope of the Rockies called Pleasant Valley.

During our time there, we were able to relax and enjoy one anothers' company as well as some recreational activities. On Saturday, Todd & Troy took their bikes out for a ride to the Black Canyon National Park (about 18 miles from the campsite). The girls (Pam, Mary, Madi and myself) were driven by Trent to the National Park to meet the boys. Once they arrived the six of us went out on a 9 mile bike ride around the park.

On Sunday we all went for a picnic down in the base of the Black Canyon. The boys took their fishing rods and after lunch went down the river to test out their fishing skills. Unfortunately they were unsucessfull in catching anything.

Monday was another relaxing day. The boys decided to try fishing one last time. However, they were still unable to catch any fish.

In all it was a very relaxing vacation full of good times with family.

Spencer & Annie

Annie & Spencer

Here are some cute pictures of Annie and Spencer. Spencer flew home from Indiana for a few days to visit family and also spent time with Annie.

Mom, Dad, Spencer & Annie all went to dinner at Market Street and then came back home and took some great pictures.

They are such a cute couple!

Frisky

Sunday June 1, 2008 was a very sad day for the Owen family.

Our little Frisky passed away. She was 12 years and 11 months old. Her little body finally gave out on her and she began to suffer. Mom and Dad decided that the best thing to do was to take her to the vet, and allow her to pass on, rather then suffer through the day.

Frisky was such a big part of the Owen family. She was such a good dog and was always there to snuggle and be your buddy when you were having a bad day. She lived 13 wonderfull years and added so much value to our family.

Things about Frisky:

• Born 06/22/1995
• Loved her 'poppie' toy
• Liked to chase her ball around the backyard
• Loved treats
• Loved belly rubs (especially from Grandma)
• Didn't like people to ring the door bell
• Loved to get in the warm clothes from the dryer (aka: toasties)
• Enjoyed going for rides in the car
• Took care of her 'sister' Pepper
• Loved chewies
• Loved taking naps with Mom

It has been a difficult week with out her. We miss her very much.
