Happy Holidays 2017

Baby Dexter

I love when he looks at me sideways!

Drinks with Friends

Book Flowers

Two of the boys were helping me make some book flowers. Yes, I destroyed a book to make these. But in my defense, the book was a thrift store adult fiction novel. If you look closely at the flowers, you will see some pretty inappropriate words, which is MY FAVORITE part of the whole process

Use the Force, Dex

Let me set the scene.

Dex loves this orange skinny ball toy that Rennie bought them about 6-7 years ago for Boomer when B was a little kitten. It's been around for a lot of kitty-babies. Dexter lays down on the floor in the office just out of reach of his toy. Realizes his mistake and stretches his hands out.

 Well, that's not working, so he stretches just a little bit more. Not quite there. Ma, can you push this over for me? Of course, I comply.

 Well, now that he can reach it, He's in cat heaven!

Sweet Rocket

This boys is the most special of baby bears. He was laying down in his baby bed with his blanket and I had to snap a few pics and videos. By the way, the "blanket" was a scarf that I never finished and it became the cats blanket for there mini IKEA baby bed.

Rare Black Bear Cuddles

Rare moment where Isabella actually sat on my lap and cuddled for a few moments.

What's This!?

Baby Dexter found the security camera placement.

My Friend Vader

Baby Dexter LOVES bringing his toys under Darth Vaders cape.

Happy 2nd Birthday Baby Dexter Morgan

He's not feeling his normal photogenic self tonight. His mouth is swollen from allergies and he just doesn't want to play along with my photoshoot.

MOCA, Me and Missy

So, Missy came to visit  for the week from Japan. We decided to have a little afternoon in the rain and visit the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)

I love glass art and this monstrosity is hanging in one of the main front galleries. Dale Chihuly is one of the most amazing glass artists that I have ever seen. It's amazing just to stand here and look up.

Star Wars Celebration

Well, It's that time again, Star Wars Celebration. This time it's in Olando, Florida. 

780 Miles.  12 Hours

Got there in enough time to get checked into the hotel and walk over to see the front of the Convention Center. It's amazing how many people are already here. Doin the same thing!!

Here is the video that I made of your whole trip!

Bella and Big Dex

Isabella looked particularly peaceful this morning. She was laying on the kitty bed in the dining room and was absolutely too cute NOT to snap a few photos!

 Baby Dexter tried again to play with the One Fast Cat Wheel and decided it would be more appropriate to take a nap instead of run. That's my boy!

Cards Against Humanity

Last night we went over to our friends house and drank a little wine, ate a little pizza and played an amazing round of Cards Against Humanity. SO MUCH FUN!!

Kittens

Spent a little time in the back yard with two of the kids today. Rocket and Dexter wanted no part of it this time. Isabella played along nicely and let me take some pictures of her. She is a pain in the ass to get good photos of since she is so dark, but in the sun, it is very easy to see how beautiful she truly is!

 My big guy, Jinxie, LOVES going outside. He will beg at the back window until someone lets him go out. He will pick a spot and lay down and bask in the sun until we make him come back into the house. He's a good boy, most of the time!

 Rocket J. would NOT go out but he was so super cute sitting on the cat tower in the living room that I just HAD to take a picture... or twelve! I love this little guy!!

Big Jinx

A Day in the Life

Baby Dexter started the morning off with some serious cuddles. He loves his Momma!! Then, after I got dressed and pretty, I had to get in a few selfies... Then we went to the Star Wars Antique Mall down the street from the house. Super fun day!!

Dexxy: Mommy's Little Helper

This little guy! He was super jealous when I started coloring tonight. I got this fun adult coloring book for my birthday from Chris and Sarah Picking! {Thanks Pickings!!}

Happy Birthday to Me!

What a wonderful day!! Cupcakes, Earrings and Phase two of my new tattoo!!

Isabella makes Rocket Jealous

Tonight Isabella decided she was going to sit with me for a little while. Of course, baby Rocket was not too keen on the idea of sharing his Mommy with his big sister.

Isabella is 2.5 years old

Rocket  just turned 1 a few days ago!

Der Freischutz

Tonight, I went to a nice dinner with friends from work at a little local seafood place near the office called the "Black Pelican."  

After, we headed to Norfolk for an evening of culture at the Harrison Opera House to see the final show of the Magic Marksman, or Der Freischutz by Weber. I'm always enamored at the art deco atmosphere that just makes me nostalgic for a time I never knew.

I was surprised that it was in English. I was really ready for some fine German opera! It was still lovely. I loved the sets! This was a wonderful opera and I truly enjoyed the rendition that the Virginia Opera took. Excellent job!

Happy Birthday Rocket

Happy 1st Birthday Rocket J. Wiggs. 

I can't believe you're already a year old.  What is Rocket's life all about? 

Well, that's easy! He's the sweetest little guy a girl could ask for! He's the definition of a lap-cat and loves to sit in our laps and go to sleep. When he falls asleep, his body temp goes up to about 250 degrees! 

He loves food. Any food. ALL FOOD. Anytime anyone has food in his sight, he will attempt to get their attention with a gently-placed paw on their lap of leg.

Rocket has one Mantra... No one poops alone! If anyone heads to the restroom, he RUNS to beat you so he can climb either into the bathtub or the shower.

I am glad he's in my life!

Jinx

This guy! I saw his sitting on his perch this morning and had to snap a picture. He's absolutely majestic! I love this boy! He's 3 years and 10 months old. He'll be 4 on the 26th of March.

Sweet Faces

Since it snowed it's ass off Friday and Saturday, I worked from home today. It's definitely hard to work with such adorable faces trying to help me on the desk! That, and my bear slippers!

Dexter Morgan Wiggs (19 months)

Rocket J. Wiggs (Age 11 months and 2 weeks!)

 I love this boy with my whole heart! Baby Rocket!

The 4 Bears

It snowed Friday night. Jinx begged to go out at the back door. He got to go outside for a minute. Baby Dexter was highly satisfied just sitting by the back door and looking at the snow!

I love this boy! 

 I also love this girl and this other boy!

New Years Day

The morning started with a little lap cuddle from Dexter Morgan. He had a rough night of staying up late and maybe nit the catnip a little too hard. He's such a good baby! Jinx was also a little tired. He put himself in the highest cat tower and was looking pretty adorable!!

Dexter Morgan is 1 year and 6 months old

Jinx is 3 years and 9 months old.

 I also started a new project last night. It's got a few more days before it's good to go, but she's close!! Baby Rocket was hanging out with the 3-D printed pieces of R2-D2 in the guest room.

Rocket J. is 11 months old.
