Gage and His Breakfast

Gage enjoying his meal. Of course I'm sure he was telling me something too.

Co-Worker

This is my co-worker Jasmine. She is getting ready to buy a new dslr camera and she wanted me to show her some things that my camera does. Since I took several pictures to show her some things, I decided I would just use one of them for my picture of the day.

KFC

I hardly ever am in the mood for KFC but for some reason it really sounded good to me. All I had to do was mention it to Brian and he was ready to go. Its one place that he really likes and we don't go very often.

Christmas Music

Was home all day by myself so I broke out the Christmas CD's to enjoy while I worked on pictures on the computer.

The Dawg Pound

Went to the Dawg Pound on Shawnee MIssion Parkway with Nick and the family to eat dinner.  This was Brian's hotdog and I don't remember the name of it.

Evening Tea

Got home and got all unpacked and sat down to relax.  Brian fixed his nightly cup of chai tea.

Happy 55th Birthday Brian

Happy 55th Birthday Brian.  We spent alot of time outside on Sat because the weather was so nice.  The kids needed to run off some energy.  We played in the woods at Pops and Grannys for awhile then headed to Roaring River.  We climbed deer leap and fed the fish.  Ended the afternoon at the city park.

Splitting Wood

The project for the day was wood splitting. Jimmy, Chris, Jeff and Brian did the splitting while Pops looked on and supervised

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving.  Granny couldn't be any more thrilled to have her family together for Thanksgiving lunch.  She commented several times about what a good day it had been with her family.  So thankful for such a wonderful Mom.

Turkey Carving

We got to Cassville Wed night and Pops was carving the turkey.  He had a guy smoke it for him and he wanted to get it all carved up. That way we didn't have to have that mess on Thursday when we were trying to fix the rest of the lunch.  Pretty good turkey carver.  I guess that comes from lots of years of practice.

Lunch Break

Jentry and I had some errands to do so we took a lunch break at McDonalds.

Half Price Hamburgers

Half priced hamburgers at Austins.  It was terrible lighting so this was the best I could get. 

Charting the Name

Got a whole bunch done on Maesyn's stocking over the week-end.  Even got to the part of charting her name and stitching it on the stocking.  It's looking pretty good to be done by the first of Dec.

Party Mix Season

Party mix season has begun.  Kinda messed this first batch up.  I put double the amount of tabasco in it.  I mis-figured while making a triple batch.  It was too hot for me to eat but everyone else seemed to really like it. 

I usually make a batch of puppy chow when I make party mix because I think they go together.  I didn't make any with this batch, however, Geoff and Molly came over and she brought the batch that she had made.  Fun evening of snacking and even some game playing (much to Molly's dismay).

Dominoes

We went over to Nick and Jenn's and played some games.  While we were playing dominoes, we realized there were some extra dominoes from another set in the batch.  Also, Jennifer thought she was missing some dominoes so we lined up all the dominoes by number to make sure they were all there, and they were.

Winter Soap

One of the new winter soaps that I bought.  It smells so good.  I love the fall and winter scents.

More Computer Time

Still learning the new computer.

Breakfast for Grace

Grace enjoying her favorite breakfast, waffle with peanut butter and syrup.

Bradford Pear in the Fall

I figured as many pictures as I posted of the bradford pear while it was blooming, that I needed to get a picture of its fall colors.  I promise, this is the only one.

Bottle Time

Grandpa giving Maesyn her bottle before bed.  Not a good quality picture but a picture of quality time.

Barnes & Noble

Brian and I ran around all day on Sat.  Did a little Christmas shopping and just some looking around.  We had a great lunch at Brobeck BBQ and we ended up at Barnes and Noble to relax.  It was a really good day.

Candy Drawer

I have started a candy drawer.  I fill it with all kinds of candy and the kids can pick what they want as long as they ask before they get it.  Kit Kats have been the favorite so far (as you can tell because there aren't very many in there).  Caleb even put in a special request for Kraft caramels.  The kids aren't the only ones that have enjoyed it.  The "big" kids do too.

Current Reading

Started a new book.  Liked another book by this author and this one is good so far.

First Fire

Our first fire of the season.

Maesyn 5 Months

Bright eyes baby Maesyn, 5 months old.

Craving

Had to have some brownies and when you don't have a box mix you have to make them from scratch.  This was before I ate all the edges.

Jentry's Party

We celebrated Jentry's birthday late because we were in Portland on her birthday.  Not sure she could get her eyes or her mouth open any wider.

Scrapbooking

 

Molly, Bernita and Jennifer came over for scrapbooking on Friday night and pretty much all day on Sat. This was all the pages that I completed in those two days. Pretty good progress.

Toe Exercise

Who says you don't exercise while you sit and play on the iPad. Look at those toe stretches

New Hair Salon

I didn't follow through and take a picture everytime I got my hair cut.  But this was a special time.  Stephanie bought and opened her very own salon in Olathe.  This was my first haircut in the new salon.  It is so pretty and she is so excited.  I'm excited for her and also that she is just across the street from my work.
