October




I know it's been forever since I've written anything on here. There was something wrong with my computer because it wasn't uploading my pictures from my camera. Tommy figured it out and got it up and working again. Hooray!


Anywho, to get all updated here, first of all I have to start with Halloween. Our church has a trunk or treat where everyone sets up outside and gives out candy from their cars and before that we have a chilli cookoff. I'm proud to say that my husband won first place. He was so happy and I was so happy for him. He's the kind of person where he thinks nothing good will happen to him, so all day when he was cooking and until he won, he kept saying he was going to lose and he didn't even know why he was cooking. I really don't know why he was so caught up in losing but when he won he was so happy. He even got a certificate. I know and he knows it wasn't much, but I really think it meant a lot to him. I want to send a shout out to Mobile Ward for making Tommy feel accepted that night. On another note, I was really upset that I didn't get any good pics of our car or our family for that matter. Tommy and I even wore halloween shirts, I was a pumpkin and he was a skeleton. However, I did get pics of the kids. Coby was Indiana Jones, Gavin was Batman, and Lexie was Cinderella. They all turned out really cute and I know they had fun!

I love that hat you found for Coby's costume. I suggested Indiana Jones for Tobie, but he wasn't interested.

It wasn't that cold on Thanksgiving day but we decided to wear our coats anyway and we look good!

I couldn't keep the kids inside! They enjoyed themselves though. Since they were already outside I took pictures of them in their own habitat.

Look how awesome my dog, Sandy is! She is a red nose pit and american pit mix. I was told not to get this kind of dog but we did get a book on this breed and did some homework. Come to find out they are very good family dogs and very protective which is what we were looking for. With Tommy being gone so much I feel a little better being here by myself. When she gets to know you she's as sweet as she can be, but she does do her job well by keeping me alert when someone or something is in my yard or at my door. We all love her to pieces!

Lexie's thumb

I forgot to update on Lexie's thumb. The doctor said that she had an infection but he gave her antibiotics and told me to keep it clean and bandaged. The skin had swollen a bit and the doc said that if it didn't go down then I'd have to bring her back in to get the skin scrapped off. I really hope I don't have to do that!

They had so much fun that day. They were doing cannon balls into the ditch. They loved it!

The first day of school Coby came home with a bag of goodies to welcome the kids back to school. Isn't he so cool?! I was calling him "Hollywood'.

Easter of 2008, but I promise you we still look the same! With Tommy gone so much this was the last family picture we had taken. Of course I couldn't get all the kids to do right. This is the only picture where I had 2 out of 3 kids sorta looking at the camera.

Nap time

Nap time
I couldn't resist this picture. How they all got to sleep at the same time is still a mystery to me. This rarely ever happens in my house. Usually I can't get any of them to take a nap. I was even surprised my oldest jumped up there and fell asleep. My dog, Sandy thinks she's one of the kids. Aren't they precious?
