A Touch Of Tyrell

My inlaws live on a couple of acres. This past halloween they decided to have a spook trail and made some pretty awesome things. One of the things they made was this graveyard: When halloween was over, they took down all of the decor and headstones. Jake and I like to ride our quads on their property..... so we took them for a spin on Thanksgiving. Jake crashed into the hole they didn't fill in: And he got real dirty: But the best is yet to come. We were playing with Brianna's smile detection feature on her camera....you might wet your pants as soon as I get my hands on those pictures. Hopefully I can post them soon!

I couldn't wait any longer. Last Saturday I dug out my Christmas decorations and had a little fun I made this wreath last year and think it is THE BOMB! Especially this picture of Bridget!

I used to hate dreaming. I woke up so confused sometimes and I just didn't think it was fair that my mind could play tricks like that. But lately I have enjoyed my dreams. Two in particular. For some reason I was at the store....pretty sure a grocery store, but you know how dreams can be.....and I was with my friends. There was a little boy in my cart. He wasn't an infant, he was more of a toddler. I remember taking him home and putting him down for a nap and just being so happy/proud that he was mine. Then on Sunday night, I again dreamt of a little boy. He was smaller this time, but not an infant either. In my dream he said "mommy" for the first time and I have never felt that happy in my entire life. I was still dreaming, but for some reason I could feel that happiness in every inch of my body. So, I don't need to wait for an ultrasound to start decorating. I have my answer. Then yesterday some friends stopped by the office and asked if we wanted their ba...

Our niece Kaydra drew these. My favorite part is how she spelled "Jacob." She has a wild imagination and a talent for drawing.

1. NEVER EVER EVER wear overalls camping. You WILL pee on the straps 2. NEVER EVER EVER tell your mom you are "bored." She will find some chores for you 3. Eating too much cookie dough WILL give you diarrhea 4. ALWAYS tell your Grandma you loved the gift she gave you... because someday you will cherish it. (Even if it is a jersey dress that says Kitten on the back...for your 18th birthday) 5. If you are going to be late....CALL YOUR MOM. She will FREAK OUT if you don't....She ran off the road, she died, she got kidnapped....all run through her mind and she will give you a piece of it when you get home 6. Bread dough is not made with just flour and water...that makes rocks 7. If your parents ask "do you want to go shopping with me" don't get your hopes up because they mean grocery shopping. You MIGHT get a doughnut

Don't forget to give thanks for all of your many blessings! Right now I am thankful for the little space heater under my desk that keeps my body temp above freezing!

This last Saturday I went to the Christmas Bazaar with my friends...Lisa & Keri. I came ill-prepared with checks and plastics. No Cash. And it was practically a cash only event. So at the door, Lisa paid my entry fee....thanks mom. Lisa is 28 and a new mother to her 7 (almost 8) month old daughter. She doesn't look 28. Maybe 26. So we are all walking around....three women and a stroller. We had lost Keri for a second, so Lisa and I stop at this "Meet the author" book signing for a local author of children's books. The books looked pretty cool to me, so we stopped. The author asks Lisa what her daughter's name is and he then proceeds to insert her name into his story. Then he looks at me (wearing pig tails) and then looks back at Lisa and asks "Is this your other daughter?" I LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND ALMOST DIED OF LAUGHTER! Do I really look that young? I was 17 when my little brother was born. When he and I would venture off in the grocery store toget...
