It's the most Wonderful time of the year!

I am so excited for the holidays! Shad is constantly updating his Christmas list and I'm hoping he will have a final copy ready for Santa by next week. We can't wait for snow and the chance to use our new snow blower, build a snowman and make snow angles. I've started putting the pressure on Brett to get the christmas lights up outside and I'm feeling the excitement of decorating inside. I can't wait to put my villages up. Shad and I have talked about getting a real tree this year but Dad doesn't want us to, he's such a party pooper! Who knows Shad and I may just go get one anyway. It wouldn't be the first time we did something he didn't want us to. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for our family pictures this year, any suggestions? Christmas...it's the most wonderful time of the year!

Mr. Z

I know that I have told a lot of you about Shad's amazing teacher but I need to share this with you too. He is also an amazing photographer. He just set up this new web site

Along the backroads photography

and has some of his pictures displayed there. He has done the most amazing thing using letters so be sure to check out Alphabetography. Leave him a comment and you may win his contest.

BTW, this picture was taken on Halloween, he doesn't always dress like a Jedi, but wouldn't it be cool if he did!

The "Season" is upon us

It's true the "season" is approaching but even Lisa who decorates her entire house before Thanksgiving thinks this is a little too much.

This is what we saw when we were driving home on November 1st! Yes, November 1st people. Will a Christmas tree last 2 months...I've never had one last 2 weeks. I have to admit though...it got me excited! Tis' the Season to be JOLLY! Fa la la la la la la la la...

Surprise!

My sweet husband whom I adore with every part of me turned 40 years old on Halloween. He thought he got away with nothing more then a family dinner Monday and some trick or treating on Halloween, but he should no me better then that by now don't you think. I planned a surprise party for him and he didn't have a clue! It was great watching him walk in and seeing the surprise on his face. I truly am so lucky to be his wife. I love him more then words could ever express. Happy Birthday lover-boy! I also want to thank everyone who came to show their love and support for the old man. We are truly blessed to have such good friends and family.

Trick or Treat

In-N-Out

Do to our love for In-N-Out burgers Shad and I decided to dress up as In-N-Out workers this year for Halloween. Needless to say it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it but was disappointed that the only hamburgers we had to hand out were very yucky gummy burgers. We had such a fun time at school. Shad's teacher wore 4 different costumes throughout the day and made the day so fun for his class. I had every class that came into the computer lab call Brett and sing him happy birthday. It was a lot of fun. Brett came over at lunch time with tuna sandwiches and ate with me. It was a really good day. The classes paraded through the halls and it was fun to see all the creative costumes the kids were wearing. Have I mentioned before that I LOVE working at the school.

Halloween Fun!
