Crichton just a hangin' around...

Apparently Crichton had a rough night last night.

And we thought we'd seen all of Crichton's bizarre sleeping positions! :)

Easter egg candles!?  We don't need no stinkin' Easter egg candles!!!  (I'm sure he had fun getting the wax off his paw though!)

Crichton turns 2 on April 28th!!  Is he the most handsomest kitty in the world er what!? :)

Confucius say...

On the left, we see D'Argo... off to cause more trouble.  This time in our Tupperware cabinet!  On the right... big brother decides to join in :)

The Three Stooges? :)

Angel announces that she has officially tamed the lion!

Angel stares out the window dreaming of her own safari someday.

Angel giving me that "What ARE you doing?" look :)

An amazing profile of Crichton.

In the background, we hear Evelyn saying "Honey, I got these on sale down at Old Navy!  Can I keep them!?!?" :)

Crichton and D'Argo share a nap on the cube.

I've fallen, and I can't get up!  Either that, or I'm just too darn comfy to want to get up :)

Our own personal three ring circus :)

Crichton and D'Argo strike an action pose for us.

Above we have an absolutely beautiful set of pictures of the boys... doing some brotherly bonding in the sun.  The "Cutest Picture" award most definitely goes to the last picture :)

On the left, D'Argo's sitting behind what he wants to be when he grows up :)  On the right ... it's a bird... it's a plane.... no, it's Super D'Argo!!  Well, Super Sleepy D'Argo, anyway :)

Above we have some really amazing pictures of D'Argo in the afternoon sunlight.

From left to right: First, a beautiful picture of Crichton contemplating the meaning of life.  Then, next, here's Crichton utterly exhausted from contemplating the meaning of life :)  Thirdly we have a really cute picture of Belle enjoying a cozy bed.  And lastly, one of Angel's trademark moves... rolling around on the floor looking all happy :)

Here's a stunning picture of D'Argo in the afternoon sunlight.  Wow he's growing into a handsome kitty!

Belle whispering secrets to D'Argo about the unsuspecting Angel in the background?  Hmmm...

Here's everyone except D'Argo enjoying how comfy Bob can be as a pillow :)

Belle turns 2 on February 2nd!!  These pics were taken on her birthday...

Some great pictures of Belle on her 2nd birthday.  The best one has to be the one on the far right, which shows Belle saying, "Wuuuhhhht?" :)

Jack-in-the-box?  No, D'Argo-in-the-box.

A very statuesque D'Argo... wow look at that amazing coat!

February 13, 2004: I'm dreaming of a white... er... Valentine's Day?  We had an unexpected (but very much enjoyed) heavy snowfall here in Dallas in February... that left the ground all white, and the kitties awfully curious what all that white stuff outside was :)

Our little man is growing up :)  In the pic on the far right... that's big brother Crichton watching over D'Argo's shenanigans :)  The second pic in from the right?  Well... D'Argo seems to have some kind of fascination with the lion's ass :)

Above is a hilarious sequence of pictures showing D'Argo by the back door... with his claws STUCK to the door mat :)  Evelyn managed to catch these pictures of him tossing, turning, rolling all around and generally looking like a complete maniac :)  (Note: he has since forgiven her for not immediately coming to his aid!)

Just a few new ones for January... from left to right: First, that's one heck of a yawn!!  Second and third, some really great pictures of D'Argo poking through the railing.  The middle picture shows Angel, Belle and a D'Argo head :)  The last two show D'Argo and Angel bonding in the afternoon sun.

Here we have pictures of the kitties doing their Christmas shopping...or of us shopping for new kitties!

Angel and Belle are just about ready to be gift wrapped!

D'Argo, the only Christmas tree ornament you'll ever need.  In the middle pic... not to be outdone, Crichton also does his best imitation of a Christmas ornament.

Here we have some photos of D'Argo's audition for the part of Christmas Tree Ornament.

D'Argo takes his job very seriously, and demands that he's the only ornament on the tree!

An adorable set of pictures!  Crichton shows his Christmas spirit and helps us wrap some gifts.  D'Argo helps out at first, but is tired from his other job as tree ornament. :)

A few December bonus pictures: First, here's our Christmas stockings hanging on the mantle... with the middle one handmade for Bob by Evelyn :)  Next, our beautiful house with all its Christmas lights.  After that, our beautiful tree... once we finally got all the cats out of it :)  And finally... here we have some kitties roasting by an open fire :)

From left to right: The new recliner gets the official Kitty Seal of Approval.  Next, Belle doing nothing but being her sweet, adorable self on top of the kitchen cabinet.  Third, we have a FABULOUS picture of Crichton and Angel, striking the same pose.  Lastly, we have Angel showing the lion who's boss.

One of the cutest pictures EVER of D'Argo and Belle sharing an afternoon nap together.

D'Argo tries to camouflage himself by laying in a bookcase of the same color.  Either that, or he just wants to learn to meow in German. :)

Ummm, Crichton, you DO realize there's someone else already in the bed, right?

You know... when you're abducted by aliens and taken aboard their ship... THIS is probably what you'll see :)

Here we are corrupting the kitties with catnip bubbles.  Notice Crichton trying to balance one on his nose!

A cute picture of the boys on sentry duty atop the kitchen cabinet.

Angel turned 2 on Sept. 24th!!  Doesn't she look happy about it? :)

"Will that be regular, or Super Sized?" ...the left image is Belle at 4 months, and the right is Belle a year and 4 months after that... my how she's grown! :)

With Angel around, no bag is safe in this house!

"Aw, come on!  Just two more minutes!"

One of the kids' favorite places in the house: the warm top of the running clothes dryer.

We bought a giant stuffed lion (from the grocery store, of all places).  These are from the first set of pictures we took as the kitties begin to get acquainted with the new member of the household...perhaps a bit TOO acquainted.  In the third picture D'Argo seems to be saying, "Who's your daddy?" 

We all know the picture of the "Redneck Pet Carrier"...this is the athletic version. :)

...and this is the non-alcoholic version. :)

From left to right: First we have a (somewhat disturbing) picture of Crichton and D'Argo.  Next, a very happy Crichton in Bob's arms (check out the paws!).  In the middle, an Angel by candlelight.  After that, D'Argo kickin' it in the clothes dryer.  In the last one, believe it or not, Angel and Belle are sleeping in (yet another) strange intertwined position.

A great series of shots of Crichton being a complete maniac...or just being Crichton.  (How did he fit behind there anyway?)

The first bonding moment between D'Argo and Belle.  How sweet!

The kids explore their brand new kitty-climbing-pole thingy (for which we can't find a name).

Reach out and touch someone?

Funny, yet slightly obscene...

Leave it to D'Argo to FLIP the bed over to sleep in it.

D'Argo's first time...on top of the cabinet.  ;)

Peek-a-boo!  I see you!

Belle stalks for prey in the jungle (i.e. sits next to the fake plant in the living room).

A beautiful picture of Belle and Angel, asleep on the bathroom sill.  Awww :)

A great set of pictures showing a very photogenic baby D'Argo.  The one on the far right is the best...I think we disturbed his sleep!

D'Argo the Acrobat.  That boy can jump!!!

How much is that kitty in the window?

The first time all 4 kids come together to enjoy the running water in the sink!

A baby D'Argo finding a warm spot on the top of Evelyn's monitor :)

Baby D'Argo and big brother Crichton.

Crichton and Belle... boy, they should be a couple, huh?  They look great together :)

Peek a boo!  Or actually, it's more like "Peek a D'Argo!"  Either way, Belle seems mildly amused.

From left to right: First, we have D'Argo the alien kitty :)  That's such a hilarious picture :)  Next over we have D'Argo in action, swatting at the leaves of our fake tree. Thirdly we have a great picture of Belle stretching out.  That picture really shows off her coat... wow!  And the last picture... a very artistic picture of Belle curled in a little ball sleeping :)

Awwww... look at the cute wittle baby sleeping with Angel :)

Angel the jungle kitty.

No, that's not D'Argo the astronaut exiting the space capsule... it's D'Argo the troublemaker exiting the clothes dryer :)
