Money Jar Contest

If anyone can guess the exact amount of money in the gallon glass jug
they will win that amount. Otherwise the person who gets closest will
win some trail mix. Only one guess per person. The contest will end on Dec. 3rd at midnight.

One Year

I have no words today, none that could communicate accurately the whole of emotion that I am feeling.
But I will say,
oh, how I miss her...

my Ellis Anne.

Hot Dogs

Why am I saying if you want desert you need to eat your hot dog, when
whatever desert is, its probably twice as healthy as a hot dog?

Love and Hate Part Deux

Love it.

You're STILL eating?

We told the kids today that we are having another baby. We hadn't really felt the need to tell them before now....April is, after all, a long way away....but today we felt like Larson should finally get the reason of why I can never jump on the trampoline anymore.
We told them as we were having lunch that we were going to have another baby, a brother or sister for them to play with, and that the baby was growing right now in Mommy's tummy. After some quiet contemplation by Larson he asks:
"Mom, is the baby in your tummy right now?"
"Yes, Larson it is."
"Mom, why are you eating lunch then?"

As if a baby in there wasn't enough...I was going to stuff some food in there too! He's a thinker that little Larson!

Madden '99

After an 8 minute game against by 3 year old ended in a 0-0 tie, it's
clear I'm either an embarrassment to my generation or I've got a
prodigy on my hands.

Bobby Knight

Of course the General got his 2 minutes in the Gameday spotlight. In
the interest of maintaining family friendly status, I wont repeat
his prediction.

Pick the Prez

I got a sticker.

Spiderman Vs. Doc Oc

I know it looks as though Doc Oc. has the clear advantage, but do not underestimate Spiderman's stamina.


Speaking of Spiderman, yesterday Secily woke up from her nap with a really big, and painful crick in her neck. As Ryan & I were trying to console her, and massage her little shoulder, Larson comes up to the situation and asks (with more hope in his voice than concern) "is she going to turn into a lizard?"
No.
No she isn't.
And maybe we'll skip this Saturday morning's episode of Spiderman.
That might be best.

Victory

November...already!? Ack!

I feel like the fall has flown by! September & October are usually really nice, peaceful months around here - but once we hit November it gets crazy. Birthdays, Thanksgiving, more birthdays, then Christmas...busy! It has come up really fast this year.

We did have a great Halloween. Our church had a carnival last weekend. Our little Spiderman, and Snow White had a blast! There were games to play, bounce houses, food, and candy, candy, candy! Even Grandpa & Grandma got in on the fun

The kids had such a great time and got so much candy at the carnival, that we decided to just hand out candy last night. And, I must say, it was a big hit! It was a beautiful night, so we sat outside for a long time, and whenever any kids would come within 5 houses of ours, Larson & Secily would start bellowing "Come Here! Come Here!" They had a great time, and since Larson has been sleeping in his costume pretty much since we got it, I didn't feel too bad about not having them dress up again!

In other news.....today is a big day for Ryan Files and his beloved Texas Tech Red Raiders! Ryan decided last minute to go, so he flew out yesterday & will be at the game tonight! It's basically the biggest game in Tech history - I talked to him at noon today and he said that Lubbock is crazy right now and that he is having the best time. I'm sure he will be posting about it soon.

I decided not to go (a little too difficult so last minute) but I did go earlier this season. We stayed with our great friends Jeff & Courtney:

Spent a little time on campus,
And went to a game!

The game is at 7:00 tonight, so "get your guns up", and look for Ryan on T.V!
