What's your passion?

I was looking through my phone this weekend and stumbled across one of the funniest camera photo's I've taken.  It was at MATC on the "Passions" board.  You could write down things that you were passionate about in life, and the volunteer center would try to help you find resources to help make your "dreams" come true.  Of course, most of the "Passions" were:  "Spending time with my kids,"  "Raising my family,"  etc, and I came across one that made me laugh.  It simply stated "WIDESPREAD PANIC." 

 

It is obvious there is writing above that was erased, and I have determined that it says "expressing yourself".  I started to reflect and think about what my passions are.  Of course, I will have to say that Phish is one of my many passions, but like all the other "boring" posts, my passions do include my family and friends.  I guess another one of my passions would have to be living life to the fullest, and always letting people know how I feel about everything, which can get me into lots of trouble, and could be classified as "expressing myself," so I guess this person and I have a lot in common....

Grady has been through a lot....

So, I love Grady, lets get this straight.  I do, though, torture him a lot.  As much as I love Grady, Jeff totally talked me into getting a male dog, and I'm sure most men want male dogs for some reason, but in any case, I do feel the urge to dress him up.  I do, blame this on Jeff.  If he would have let me get my precious little girl, she would have not only been excited to be dressed up, but I think I wouldn't have felt the urge to as much, but I guess we'll never know.  The first torture costume really wasn't that bad, Alice, my co-worker at Sears gave me Grady's first fleace...... 

My mom then got Grady his "easter bunny ears," and to be honest, he is cowering by Jeff, so I'm guessing he hates it, but I thought it was cute!!!

 

Grady's first Halloween costume came late, I got it for him 2 years ago...and of course, he had a great time with his BFF Orie!

 

Grady was definatley the most fashionable elf of 2009!

Christmas came and went, and Grady and Orie woke up in their Christmas Jammies!!

Kacie left her sunglasses in our car, and I'm sure Grady thought he was the king of the road!

Grady Left with a bang is his now famous Banana costume!!

Its Christmas card season!

Every year, Christmas making personalized cards at the Carney-Leamy house is like pulling teeth. I love doing them every year, but Jeff absolutely hates them. My favorite is from Missoula, when Molly took our picture in front of the river. I belive the next year Jeff protested to the point where we didn't do one, then the next year, Jeff protested again and we sent out cards with a pic of Grady. Last year we sent out another family photo. Not sure if we will have time this year, but I do love them so much. So, which one do you like the best?
