P.S. Buffett is also taking donations to buy me a one-way ticket back to my breeders. I don't encourage any of you to give to this cause as I love my new family and think Buffett will come around once he sees that it's funny when I chase and bite his tail. I did, however, promise him I would add this to the bottom of my post.

My Top 10 Favorite Kate Pictures

CARL'S FAVORITE KATE PICS




It has been a rough last few days so I want to move on to happier thoughts... Carla Swinney took the best pictures of Kate ever, but this Top 10 is limited to just the ones I've taken of her.

10. Sentimental favorite. Our first Christmas after we married. Love the lighting.


9. Toby Keith hat. Luis Vuitton bag. That's my cowgirl.



8. The Napa Wine Train. I would have liked to have had more balance to the lighting but I love the picture.




7. When you're the last ones left at your favorite restaurant, things can get a little silly.



6. CABO DOLPHINS





5. End of a long day on the water and she still looks beautiful.





4. She's kind of got an Uma in Pulp Fiction thing going on.





3. She was just getting to know Buffett. Win over the dog and you've got me.





2. The real 2nd favorite has not been authorized as the subject of the picture thinks it shows a little too much leg. Therefore, this is a substitute. It was one of our first pictures together taken on our first vacation together. And if I can't show the leg, I can at least show some shoulder.





1. The one that first made me go, "Wow!"




SO... VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE.

WE MISS YOU MAXWELL

















Our little Maxwell passed away yesterday. We miss him so much. He loved so much and had such a great and strong personality. The house feels so empty without him. It just doesn't seem possible that he is gone. Everything in the house reminds us of him, from his favorite purple squeaky bone, to the top of the couch where he would sit and keep watch out the window. Maxwell, you'll always be in our hearts. We love you "Lil Buzz."

Mom, Dad and Brother.
WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MAXWELL

Happy Independence Day








I could only find these two pictures with a patriotic theme. Here's one of Carl giving a speech.


The other his Dad, Carl, (it gets confusing) took while on the Gulf Coast during Hurricane Katrina recover efforts.

Enjoy the grill, the water and the fireworks!!!!!!!!!
