Drivers License

Seth has gotten his drivers license!!! It's kinda scary and nice at the same time. Having another driver in the family is always good. He drives himself and Mallory to school, he offers to pick the other kids up from school, runs kids to friends houses and now he'll drive to the Saturday night dances. Like I said, scary and nice.

Choir Concert

Mallory and Seth are both in choir at Cactus High School. This was their first concert of the year. They both did good. They really do enjoy choir, these pictures don't show it, but they do.

1st Pet Ever

So after 17 yrs. of marriage and 5 kids later we finally have a pet. Well, Seth our 16 yr old has a pet. Not a dog, cat or even a fish. It's a bearded dragon. I got a text from Seth asking if he can get a bearded dragon, it was only $10 and Zack (his cousin) has a tank for him. So after thinking it over for a day I said yes. After I said yes I told Seth, "It will not eat crickets!!" There was no way I was having crickets in my home on purpose. I hate them, even typing the word makes me cringe. So the little critter eats mealworms, that are in a bowl sitting in my fridge. It also eats fruits and veggies. But in the end I didn't pay anything for the little lizard, my nephew Zack got it for Seth and all the neccessities it needs. Zack, you're awesome!!He is kinda cute for missing a foot and half a tail.

Cross-Country

Noah and Levi are both doing cross-country at school. Levi was begging me to be in it this year, I wasn't sure if he was old enough and would really stick with it. But I was wrong he really likes it. He doesn't get first, he might even be 12th from last, but he doesn't care and either do I. I'm just glad he gives it his all and has fun while he's doing it. Noah really enjoys it too. He does really well and I can see him sticking with this through high school.

Table Transformation

I really like it!!!

Texting Granny

My mom, who just turned 71, has now begun the adventure of texting. She likes to send texts that really have no purpose. She also likes to add :) & lol to the end of all her texts. She also puts, "Guess Who" at the very end of her texts. Not sure if she thinks we don't know it's her or she's just being goofy.

Oh Happy Day!!!!

This gorgeous couple is my niece Natalie and her husband Harold. First off let me just say they are awesome!!! Harold was deployed to Iraq last November and is coming home to his beautiful wife very soon after being away for a year. I am so thankful for the sacrifices made by Harold and the many others who serve our country. I am so happy for Natalie and Harold to be together again, and such great timing with the holidays right around the corner. Again, they are awesome!!!
