The guys after the new TV was hooked up. Notice Evan's face, I think he may have been in sensory overload.
















Towels Jane embroidered. Thanks!






















We are gonna have to work on taking more pictures with Nema & Hepa on the next visit.

Puppy Love

I'm getting a puppy! I haven't met her yet, but she's reserved and she's mine. I have appointment this weekend to meet her and take her home if I want her. I can't imagine that I won't want her. She is adorable!I'll post more pictures when I get her. I'm sure they will be better than this one with the cupcake. In case you are wondering - she is a yorkie poo (a yorkie poodle mix).

I have a couple ideas for names, but I'll take any ideas you have. Just post them in the comments. I'm going for a "human" name that is short and cute. Maybe something like Ella or Abby. I'm not set on any of the names so suggest away!

Whirlwind

We didn't take many pictures, but you get the idea - it was fun!

Turkey Trot


I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in running the Turkey Trot again this Thanksgiving. I've mentioned it to Jon & Jane and Scott & Shaliece who have shown some interest. I was just wondering if anyone else in the family would be interested.

There is a 1 mile fun run/walk that takes place before the 10k. Maybe those who aren't interested in the 10k could do the 1 mile with the kids.

Also, Jane mentioned her concern of preparing Thanksgiving dinner without help because everyone was too tired from the race. She suggested maybe having dinner the next day. So I thought I'd throw that out there as well to get feedback. I sure Evan wouldn't mind having the big feast for his birthday.

At last


"Two of a kind" and yes that is Garrett in a leotard! Do as I'm doing, follow, follow me....
Time out shared together. He felt bad she got in trouble.
My lil' hombre
Elton John came to dinner....LOL


Okay so this might take some time as far as getting caught up. We are in our new home and finally have a new address. 17406 Guadalupe trail Ct. Humble TX 77346
We closed on our house the 15th of August and have had the pleasure of moving in ever since. Thankfully I have had help this time around. Jane has been here helping me unload and organize. She has also been finishing up the bedding she made for Riley's new room! I will post pictures of that when her room is finished. (hopefully this week). Also, Becca has been over to help paint and do what is needed as well. Friends from church have been kind enough to take Riley a couple times just so I could have a couple of hours to get some work done! Thank you to all that have helped.
With that said the pics I am going to post are not of the house. Not yet anyway. Sorry, I need to take some new ones tomorrow in the morning. It is too late and dark to do justice. (Plus I would like to finish painting one wall).
Garrett is really into doing what ever Riley is doing. Might it be dancing like a ballerina or having pretty hair. He will even join her in time out so they are both not alone! Garrett is truly the best "hombre" and still continues to make others smile. I will say that as hard as I laughed at the turquoise leotard, my favorite pic is his Elton John impersonation!! Gotta love the cheesy grin!! I promise now that I have found my USB cord more pics are on the way!

So I got a little bored with my hair and decided to try something VERY new for me. Its hard to see in the picture with the lighting, but I'll try to post better pictures when I have them. What do you think? Do I look good as a redhead?

Cousins

Needless to say - Garrett and Evan have a great time together! These pictures are from last Friday night when Garrett helped me babysit Evan while their parents and Riley went to a ward party. As you can see Garrett is a good little babysitter!
