Season Updates

Alrighty, lets do some updates! I have gotten lots of emails and phone calls about what is happening lately, so I figured I would fill everyone in! Work is chaotic at this moment, but hoping to get a couple of slower weeks here at the end of the month. Chris is doing great, hiding away behind warm doors for the past few days, hoping that I don't ask him to put up or haul down any more Christmas decorations. We have been spending lots of time around family and friends which makes for a joyous season!


Pictures... we have been so busy lately, that I have just become more and more scatterbrained. For example, we made Christmas Cookies last weekend, I remembered to take a picture half way through and then nothing... Cookie Exchange at work, one picture and then nothing... and to top it off, I took them on my camera with no memory card inserted, so now I have to track down my little camera cable... ugh, I'm exhausted just thinking about it.


Ruger is getting ginormous! She loves the snow, but hates the cold... I can tell she is thinking of spring already. So let's see...
Yes, we are still alive.
Yes, we are doing great and enjoying the season.
Yes, I will be back to blog soon.
And no, I don't have a ring yet!

The end of the countdown...

Like every year, the countdown to Tiana's birthday started early and came to an end last Monday! Chris and I went over to the folks' house earlier this week to help Tiana celebrate. We ate a great meal, Tiana opened her gifts and we had birthday cake.


Here's to wishing you a very happy 17th year munchkin!!!

Carving Pumpkins

This year, Chris and I were going to carve pumpkins for Halloween, but we just never found the time for it... Time is getting to be very limited as I am heading into the busy season at work.

This however was not going to stop Ruger from doing some carving of her own... this is what I found on the porch Saturday morning! If she looks sad it is because she was just scolded, and then told to sit next to it for a picture so I could blog about it. I realized this week that I hadn't had an update all month, so I'll try to squeeze some in over the next week, before we jump right into the busy holiday season! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Costumes of Yester-Year 5

And last, but certainly not least, my favorite costume... One pair of pink footie pajamas, one crafted oatmeal can and a pair of socks attached to earmuffs equals... The Energizer Bunny!

Happy Halloween!!!

Before I knew you...

...we both wore big smiles...



...we both rode bikes...
(I love the shorts and boots combo by the way)


...and we were very proud of our pets...

I'm so glad things haven't changed!

Family Trap Shoot

This past weekend we had one of the most fun family gatherings that we have ever had. Jared came home from school with his girlfriend to visit, so we all came home to share the day!
The guys, and some of the girls, took part in a trap shoot while the rest of us watched and snapped pictures of the event.


It was a great time having everyone there together! That evening we played games and had some great conversation!


Jackie and DaShawn were able to make it to spend the day, and having DaShawn in a great mood made everything run smooth!


We were very excited they were there, as it wouldn't be a true family gathering without them!
