Thank You

Just sending out a quick thank you for all the loving support from so many friends, family and even strangers! It has been very uplifting to see how those around you really come together during tough times. Our family is very grateful! We love and appreciate you all!! I wanted to post this link. I have mentioned Bellazizas Favorites before, but wanted to share what a great thing that was done for us. Christa and Tasha are so awesome, as well as all the readers and sponsors! Not only does this website introduce you to a lot of great products, it has a great group of mom and dads! A couple posts were written about us so scroll through and check out the site, and don't be afraid to join!

On a side note, we have found a new house. We are very excited about it! It is more what we have been looking for. It has everything we wanted and in a great neighborhood! It has been for rent for a few months, but they just couldn't find the right people. I guess we were the right people because they called us the same night we looked at it. So we are yet again busy moving things out of storage (after just moving it back in 2 days ago) and into a great little house. This is just the first step for a better 2009. I will get a bunch of Christmas pictures posted once we get settled again! All my pictures are safe!!

It's Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas!

It feels like Christmas at our house. I love this time of year. We had some wine, Christmas music playing and Christmas tree lights. The only thing missing was a fire in our fireplace! Madi did a great job of decorating the tree. I had to very secretly go behind her and space them out. She was so into what she was doing that she didn't notice. I left some in their place and rearranged while she wasn't looking. She had hot cocoa and cookies to top off the night.

The whole Annable clan came over Friday. Madi loved playing with the "big" kids.

Looks like a pro at pool.

Thanksgiving Part I

I haven't had time to download any of my pictures from Thanksgiving. It has been a crazy week with trying to get a rental, insurance claims and a new car. Here are a few cute pictures of Nanny's Great Grandchildren. A cute bunch of kids. I will post more of our trip to NY this weekend.

"OK, What is she doing to me?"

"To Grandma's House We Go"

I love the Holiday season!! We leave for NY tomorrow to spend time with the Annable family for Thanksgiving. We are all very excited. I have a jerk for a boss so it is a MUCH needed vacation for me right now. I hope everybody stays well and enjoys this awesome time of the year with family and friends!

Revenge of the Nerds

This past weekend we had a nerd party out at my parent's house. It was such a blast. I don't think I stopped laughing all night long. My cheeks hurt by the end of the night.


Nerd Alert!!



The winner of the costume contest, cousin Daniel.


I rocked out on Karaoke all night!!

Off to the Races!

Erin and her parents were in Bowling Green, KY this past weekend. Madi and I headed down to watch Al (Erin's dad) drag race. Sean had to work, but I packed up Madi and headed off to the races. We had such a good time. I didn't realize how much fun I was going to have. We always have a good time with Erin and her family though. You too Lee!! Although he couldn't come either because of work. We miss all of them already!! Madi and I moped around all day Sunday because we missed our friend. We also found out exciting news that Erin is PREGO!! I am so excited for them! Congratulations!!

Madi watching all the really fast and LOUD cars!

Getting the tires ready!!

FRIENDS!!!

Ok all you crafty people, Al made this mascot costume himself!! It is pretty amazing. We love the coyote!

Of course we have to love the road-runner too!

Saturday night after the races, the group of people that Al races with throw a party in the pits! This year's theme was Octoberfest.

Madi dancing to the German music.

Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend was in the mid 80's and sunny. We took a wagon ride to the pumpkin patch with all the kids. We couldn't have asked for a better day. After we were done we went to Aunt Peggy's for Sean's sauce, YUM!





Wagon ride out the find our pumpkins!
