November 2011

New month, new 'do! Let's see if it "grows" on me. Not my favorite at the moment!

November 2, 2011

We attended the funeral of a man we only just met a couple of weeks ago, who died of TB and had little to no family here. It really makes you hug your loved ones a little tighter.

The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious.  And why shouldn't it be? - it is the same the angels breathe.  ~Mark Twain

A favorite snack for all of us, except daddy. Not sure what's wrong with him. He's a pickle guy, but can't seem to stomach eating a cuke. That's okay. We'll still keep him.

November 5, 2011

We love having friends who we can mooch off of, especially where guns are concerned. The girls (and, yes, daddy) had a "blast" shooting out near the Howie's place!

November 6, 2011

Sorry little leaf buddy. Winter has reared it's freezing head. Thanks for the color, while it lasted. We'll see you again in, oh, about six months.

A fun discovery...Pebbles is a dog MADE for the winter. She absolutely can't get enough of running and playing in the snow. Must be that built-in winter coat :)

November 8, 2011

Our precious little snow angel!

November 9, 2011

The girls all had special singing parts in the school remembrance day assembly. I was one proud momma!

November 10, 2011

A little daddy-daughter-date with the Halls! TJ had an absolute riot and loved spending some special one-on-one time with daddy. What a treat!

November 11, 2011

We headed to the war memorial monument downtown to help the girls show respect to all veterans who offer up their very lives for the freedom of others.

November 12, 2011

Happy birthday, Mr. Elijah! JJ had fun being the only girl at the party...even if things got a little wild :)

November 13, 2011

Oh, BB, I could look into those gorgeous peepers all day. You have your daddy's eyes, you lucky thing! Gorgeous color and full of mischief!

November 14, 2011

Time to officially get out the winter gear and pack away all things Summer and Fall. Boo! Hiss! We won't go quietly!!

November 15, 2011

My latest addiction...solitairre on the iPhone. I have become pretty quick at it and love seeing my name at the top of the leader board for score and time. A fun waste of time!

November 16, 2011

Let the snow sculptures begin. There has to be something good about all of that white stuff all over the back yard.

November 17, 2011

Hooray! It only took 2.5 hours in line, but we made it into the FIRST showing in the city of Breaking Dawn part 1. Best part? Enjoying it with my gorgeous husband!

November 18, 2011

Pebbles is quickly growing into a full blown dog! Though, we are thrilled that she will forever keep that adorable puppy look. We sure love her!

November 19, 2011

Having a bit of fun with a long exposure and a tea light candle. Have I mentioned that I {heart} photography?

November 20, 2011

Perfect representation of our JJ...full of personality, nails painted a bright, fun color, and mouth wide open singing, talking, laughing and doing all things joyful.

November 21, 2011

'Tis the season for doctor's visits. Thankfully this time it was only an earwax build up that needed to be flushed out and not an ear infection. TJ still didn't enjoy the visit :) I didn't enjoy the 2 hour wait!

November 22, 2011

Our first visit to Agribition was MOOvelous! I had no clue just how HUGE some of those bulls are! It was a good time as we got up close and personal with some beautiful bovines!

November 23, 2011

JJ, you are such a card. You just had to lay out your outfit for Western Day at school...3 days early. Yes, we all know how important fashion is to you, my dear...and you do it SO well :)

November 24, 2011

Yee Haw! Western Day at school and my four cowgirls couldn't look any more "western...y" Have a hootin' hollerin' good time!

November 25, 2011

BB was uber excited to have daddy chaperone on her class field trip to the Science Center! Always a LOT to discover there!

November 26

Out shopping on a bright and beautiful morning. I just loving hanging out with JJ. She always makes mornings so much fun.

In a household with five girls, nailpolish is an absolute MUST have. And if it's bubblegum pink? Even better.

November 28

Family night at the pool is always a huge hit with the kids. We tried a new pool and loved how warm it was! We will definitely be heading back there.

November 29

 TJ entered a drawing/coloring contest with the local paper. We'll wait with fingers crossed to see if her fun snowman wins. Check out the hole in it with the kids peeking through. Cute!

November 30

 Got the NEW Christmas tree up and decorated! We are officially ready for December to begin!
