A wonderful Thanksgiving!

This year Jeremy and I ended up spending it with just the 2 of us well 4 of us. Jeremy's parents where suppose to come out but they ended up getting sick at the last minute. Jeremy also had to work all day until 4 but he was home most of the day anyway which was nice. I cooked a turkey all day and all the fixings, so when he got off we could have our own little Thanksgiving dinner. Brekke was a grump just before jeremy got home from work to eat that i scolded her and made her sit on the couch and told her not to move next thing I notice is she is fast asleep so she missed out eating with us. But, little morgan chowed like she had never ate before. I think her favorite was the stuffing and turkey and roll.

Later that night we ened up having our friends come over for pie and the guys ended up having lots of fun playing video games.

My favorite part of the whole day is when my cousin Tiffany and Jordan spontaneously decided they were going to come out to visit. It was so nice to have some sort of family around and they are so much fun. After i stuffed them full of food Jordan had a blast playing with the guys and Tiff and i chatted away and played with the girls. They ended up staying until around 10:30 and then made the long trek back to Tucson.

All in all it was a great day we had tons of fun. Even better LEFT OVERS!!!!!!!!!

walking distance you be the judge

I started walking with my neighbor Angelina i dont go everymorning becasue it kills me after walking the hill 2 time sin a row. My ankle my knees and my sheens KILL me after i walk it. But i looks it up on mapqwest and google maps and it gave me 2 different distances totally crazy

but yeah map qwest is 4.54 miles
and google maps is 3.7 miles and it should take us 1 hour and 14 minutes to walk it. of course it takes me a little longer to walk it becasue i need to take it slow :)
Basically we walk the whole town lol

Weather

When you think of the end of November what do you think of? NICE WEATHER PERHAPS? Yeah the weather here has been okay but rather on the warm side. The high for today is 83 and in the afternoon i still have to turn my swamp cooler on to cool the house for liek half an hour. It should not be like that It also doesn't help that my back windo is against the sun in the afternoon so that brings alot of the heat in the afternoon. I want it to be cold alrleady so we can turn our heater on so i can get out some winter clothes. Maybe im just being ungreatful of our weather now i'm sure that when it gets super cold here i'll be saying i want it to warm up.

Yard work

Recently just after we bought our house we had our insurance agent come out and insepect our house on the outside well needless to say it did not pass the inspection that yard was grossly over grown and there was pieaces of wood missing off the facia. They said that if we didn't get it fixed by the 15th then our policy was going to be canceled. Well needless to say Jeremy called his dad very quickly to see if they could make a trip out to help us do some stuff. Luckly they were able to and they didn't have any plans.

Here is the back yard how over grown it was when we bought it.
teh day we found out that we had all this stuff to do I spent about 2 hours tearing up the stupid planter box's and the table while Jeremy was at work.I am glad i was able to get that done for him becasue that saved them alot of work.

When ever brekke goes to visit grandma and grandpa Olsen she goes straight for the toy closet and for a particular baby and baby bottle. She just loves it. So grandma Olsen gave it to Brekke to take to my parents while the girls where staying with my parents while we went on our cruise. Well brekke carries around the bottle a lot and even tried to make jeremy and i drink from it every now and then. :)

I had to add this one its too dang cute
She likes to try to make Morgan sit still so she can brush her hair
Morgan even likes to try to drink from the bottle

halloween 2008

So this Halloween i didn't want togo out abotu spend 15 bucks per costume so they could wear it 1 time. So i decided brekke was going to go as a balerina again since i had the stuff for it already i just bought tule to make a tutu for her. For Morgan my mom had bought her a black onzie athat had a cat face on it and i just took a head band sewed some black fabric on it and then sewed some felt ears on it so she would have cat ears and i also made her a tutu. they were so dang cute if i dont mind saying.

all of these 3 girls were born with in a month of eachother
here she is trying to say trick or treat
The other little one is our neighbor Nya she is about 6 month younger than Brekke and they just love eachother
She REALLY loved her sucker
This is our neighbor we walked up to the church together and then on the way home we stopped by a few houses to let the big girls do some trick or treating
See what happens when you let the neighbor kid sit in your stroller while eating a sucker while your baby is asleep. The sucker was so matted in her hair i had to use peanut butter to get it out
