Diabetics Beware!!

Well the Christmas tree is finally up and this years theme is "candy". My mom, sisters and I do a Christmas tree exchange and we each do one themed tree, from tree topper, ornaments to tree skirt and then each year we swap trees. So I have a different tree for 5 years before repeating themes. It is really fun. I got this one from my mom and it is really cute.
Whitley has had a hard time realizing that the candy is fake. She has taken a few bites out of they styrafoam Suckers and Karden had a blast decorating the tree, well actually it was two branches!!!!
Now my next task is to take down the Thanksgiving decorations, I know My house looks a bit strange with a turkey on the front door and christmas lights in the yard. Good think I don't work until Wednesday!!

Come See Us At The Light Parade!!!

Well Ryan has been working hard for hours on end to enter a float in this years light parade. I have to say it looks pretty darn good. This has become a tradition for Ry. He used to make a float for Oil Spout and now has moved on to Making one for his Mortgage Company. This is his 4th year in a row. That is officially how I know it is November because he starts planning out his design. If you have never been to the light parade you are missing out. It is tomorrow ( Friday), the day after Thanksgiving at 7 pm. It goes down Main street from Cal Ranch to the the ends at the city Park. All the floats are lit up and Santa usaully makes and apperance. Its a fun way to start off the Christmas season. It doesn't last very long there are usally around 30 entries. Dress warm and make sure you cheer loud for entry #15. Ps. The Float looks great Ryan, Good job!!

What a Weekend!!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

We have had a fun weekend! Karden had crazy hair day at preschool and thought his hair was so cool- he wanted to keep it like that all day, I had to tell him no and hide the hairspray!! :) We also went to the Gingerbread festival at Thanksgiving point. It was fun and people are so creative! The highlight of the evening for the kids was the cookies that got to decorate and them or course eat!! Saturday we had Whitleys birthday party at Chucke Cheese. It was fun to let all the cousins play together and they all had a great time and left exhausted! That was the plan because the girls left from the parking lot for some christmas shopping. We did so well, had a great time, got good deals and got alot accomplished. I can honestly say my kids are done!! Now hopefully the christmas list doesn't change. It was a fun weekend now I'm paying the price as I'm on my 5th load or laundry today. But oh well!

Happy 2nd Birthday Miss Whitley!!!

Two years ago today- our lives changed forever- we welcomed Whitley into the world!! Whitley is such a funny little girl, her giggle can make even the grumpiest person smile. Some of whitleys favorite things are Karden, Her Pink (well it used to be pink) blankie, talking on her cell phone, Grandpa and Grandma, pushing a baby in the doll stroller and "pop"! I think she has bionic ears because if she hears a pepsi can open anywere in the house she will sniff it out. We have now started to go into the garage to open a drink. We love her to pieces (even when she lays down in the middle of the floor and waits until all eyes are on her to cry.) We are very glad she is ours and wouldn't change her for the world. Happy 2nd Birthday Whitley-Bug!! We love you!

Happy 40th Anniversary!!!

Wow!! My Mom and Dad have been married for 40 years. We had a little get together with a bunch or family and friends yesterday. It was fun and I think my parents enjoyed having everyone there to celecbrate with them. The video that my brother in law arthur made was the highlight, and them just food and visiting- Congratulations mom and dad We wish you many more and thanks for the good example of how a marriage should work!!

Just "4" fun-

Well I was tagged again and the rules of this tag are that you open your fourth folder and post the fourth picture so here it goes... Drum roll Please-

TADA!!

This is a picture when Whitley was around 2 weeks old. This is her first ponytail!! As you can see there is not much hair in the ponytail, but a important milestone for me! It is weird to think she was that little, she still has the baby skin, blotchiness and all-

Now I tag Janet, Tracy, and whomever else would like to do it. This one is easy.
