Happy 2nd Birthday Cheyanne!


Cheyanne you are getting so big you little darling. Two is such a great age. You're pretty much expected to terrorize your family and society at large by demanding whatever you want whenever you want it. I know you will do us proud. Go for it!

Happiest of Bday's Dear Margie

Our Margie is another year wiser today.

We wish her all the happiness possible.

She obviously knows how to make the best of things (well she puts up with #3 doesn't she?)

Have a glass of Moet Chandon (Phill could you please run out and get a bottle?)

Enjoy.

Ride 'em Camel




This is from Saturday's adventure. It was really hot on Sunday so not many of us were allowed to ride. The baby stayed very close to Mama. When I started, there was no one here. When I finished there were about 30 waiting. Wonder if I was that entertaining?

Sunday, April 5, 2009



Most of the pictures from my Iraqi adventure are posted on my Facebook account. Today we had an Iraqi Market near the base. The baby camel was pretty cute and stayed very close to momma.

Pictures of #3



It appears that #3 was MIA in 2008 so I thought I'd add a few cute pictures just in case you forgot what he looks like...OK, so maybe he's been a little busy.

Who is this adorable baby?


Here's a wonderful picture of Carmen from not so long ago. If it wasn't for the name on her paper bag hat, you'd swear it was Cheyanne!

Happy Halloween from the Colhour Clan


That is one good looking family. Sal especially cleans up nice! Bumblebee's are all the rage this year but our little bee looks like she's missing her candy bucket! But not to worry, Fireman Nate will save the day.

Ruth Guillory's 83rd Birthday Celebration

We had a good time. Bella is adorable.

Marcos hits the road....

Due to unknown reasons really, Marcos Martinez has left the Guillory Family for greener pasturers. Good Bye Marcos, you were a good family member and we will miss you.

We are all gathered at Anne and Pete's house. Anne and Pete made a great Hungarian Goulash. Mark jr. and Bonnie were commiserating about being single (yes Marcos left Bonnie).  We are having a gooooood time.

Happy Days Signore Salvatore Virardi

Signore Salvatore Virardi
Now does that name command respect or what? Or he'll call "the boss" on you that's what!

Our beautiful baby relative is now one year old. Where is this time going? I have to meet those children soon or go crazy from cuteness deprivation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SAL, you are the apple of our far away eyes.....
Big hugs to your big sis and your parents too....
