Happy Birthday Holly!

It's Holly's Birthday today! Happy Birthday Holly! We had Holly over for a birthday lunch yesterday, I think we all had a great time! :)

Cali loves to help with the candles!

Mmmm, yummy Raspberry Lemon Muffins!

So we've had Max now for about 2 weeks now and things are going really well, not to say there wasn't a few times we thought we made the wrong decision. At first the house was total kaos but everyone has settled right down now and we are doing so much better! We are really happy to have Max in our family, he has such a nice personality and seems to take directions pretty well...remembering he is still a puppy! :)

Max sleeps in the weirdest ways, every night I think to myself if I slept like that I probably wouldn't be able to move in the morning...ahh, to be a young pup!

This Is Our Puppy Max!

We had recently been talking about maybe getting a puppy and I happened to be looking on the computer and stumbled across this Chocolate Lab that was being given Free to a good home! I must have been the first one to see the add, we went to take a look and just fell in love with him! Cali named him Max after her favorite cartoon Max & Ruby. He is 3 months old and seems to be a really well behaved puppy. It's going to be an adjustment though, the minute we got home he tried to chew on everything...oh boy! Welcome to the family Max! :)

Giggly Little Monkey's!

Happy Halloween!!

On the day before Halloween we all got together and did some pumpkin carving! It's been decided that we will carve pumpkins at my house, then the day after Halloween we will blow them up at Aaron's & Steph's farm...should make for a good family tradition! :)

Auntie Holly did a great job helping Sophie with her pumpkin!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you to everyone for making our thanksgiving meal so wonderful, everyone made and brought the most delicious things! I am so thankful that I have such an amazing family, I am so lucky to have you all in my life!

The kids table... missing Aaron & Olivia, maybe another year! :)

The Adult table...missing Katie & Ian. The funny thing was that after dinner the adults table was messier than the kids table, how did that happen?!!?

Sophie was thinking "is that for me??"...one of Auntie Holly's amazing desserts, whoopee pies I think.

YUUUMMM!!!

Cali with her mouth full...to busy eating to give me a big smile!
