Our New Laundry Room

Ta da!
Welcome to our new laundry room! 
It just needs decorated and some cabinets put in! 
I love it!  Robb did such a nice job!  (and I painted)

The basement is coming along, slow but sure!  I'm so lucky to have a handyman husband!

Christmas Tree Getting Day

We went to our favorite Christmas Tree Farm the day after Thanksgiving to get this year's tree!
We love Mountain Creek, because they have great trees and let us bring our dog!
I can't tell you how much Charley LOVES to run around the Christmas Tree Farm.  He's incredibly happy here!
Here goes Robb, sawing our tree down!
Me and my Char!
"Whatcha doing Daddy?"
Charley and our fresh cut tree!
The only thing missing was snow!  But, the farm is really beautiful either way.
All loaded up and ready to go!
Our tree this year.  All decorated and sparkling!
For dinner, we have my favorite pizza- Thanksgiving pizza!  It is HEAVENLY!
Just take all the thanksgiving leftovers from the day before and pile on the pizza with some cheese.  What a great end to one of  my favorite days of the year!

Meeting Adalei

At the end of September, I went down to Dayton to help Jill with her newest little one.   
 I was so excited to meet little Adalei Rose.  She's so sweet!
She is a really easy baby.  She slept most of the time while I was there.  Not what I remember from Kayla and Braden!  I guess you have to be easy when you're the third kid, with such an energetic brother and sister!
Here's Braden and Kayla making me different flavors of "juice."
 Unlike Braden, which was all baby duty, and Kayla which was some baby duty and some toddler duty, most of my time was spent with the older two.  (Which I didn't mind at all.)  I love my qt with the kids.

Braden and I even got to spend the day shopping for a new birthstone present for Mommy, and picking out pizza toppings for his pizza that we made together.
Braden lassoing the horse!
I even got to go to a cowboy birthday party!  Braden definitely already knew how to be a good cowboy. 
Kayla also got her cowgirl on during a horse race.  She had the right idea, just carry the horse and run!
Braden the professional horse rider.  I think he's had some practice at this!
The highlight of the party, was a real horse!  Braden was in heaven!
Here's my two favorite cow folk   I loved spending so much time with ALL of you!  Until the next baby...
