Just thoughts

Hello everyone. We are back. It actually seems like not much has happened this week! We finally have t.v. and I am loving that I get to see Greys and saddened that Lost doesn't come on until next Feb. DID U KNOW THAT, blah! This is one of the many reasons I slyly convinced Dallas to join ranks once again with t.v. watching fanatics...but to our dismay, nothing, nada. Better Feb. than never I must admit!

My kids are hilarious. I would like to say that these comical characters are just clones of us, but they are far to superior...much smarter, cuter, intuitive, and wittier (okay Dallas is fairly witty). I guess they are just built that way to deal with the times they have been jolted into or something like that! Forgive me please...as this is a family journal for the time being (I think I am going to make my kids their own secret blogs so you don't have to hear all the silly in's and out's of their quirky lives but obviously I have not gotten that far) you can just skip on over!

Taking my sister Julies idea, I decided to make the Halloween costume this year for Sydney...shoot I should talk about this when I actually have pictures...but what the heck, I will post them soon! It is adorable! Can not wait for you to see it. Definitely the new rage for Sydney. she thinks she looks like a fairly scary but pretty witch (exactly what I was going for right). Can't wait to take them trick or treating. She wanted to be the wicked witch from The Wizard of Oz and I was going to be Dorthy, Dallas the tin man and Kenady the Lion (we would carry a scarecrow)....this witch costume is more black and purple, with no hint of green so sadly I must omit Dallas and I from the equation (I am sure Dallas is not to sad) but I think Kenady will still be a lion unless I get another wild hair and make her a bee much like her cousin Kaitlynn. :)

I think I once addressed this...but Kenady loves to draw, realizing after weeks of watching Sydney that a pen/pencil/marker and a piece of paper must mean scribbling. It is so cute to watch. She is very determined and always gets a line, scribble, or circle on that paper! Too cute you would think she would have forgotten and moved on...but she continues to love to draw....so here is a picture to enjoy! We had a few cousins over this week (they came to do vinyl). Most of Sydney's room was covered in toys. After 20 or so minutes I decided it was best if I found Kenady since I hadn't seen her in quite some time. Kenady had found a way to climb into the biggest container that she could and was throwing toys left and right. I left her there to see how long she would be content...well I finally had to come and get her when it was time to eat (or something like that). It was toy heaven...I think I need to leave toys/stimulus out for her more often! Silly mom!


Just one more thing. Sydney can talk really well now. We were on our way to church today when Dallas jumped out of the car and into the garage. He looked rather forlorn. Sydney watched him intently while he tried and tried to get our garage door to work properly...I am sure he wasn't to happy since I had made us a few minutes late already...but of course he wouldn't ever say something like that! :)
Well finally he conquered his task and returned to the car confidently! Sydney put her hands on her hips shook her head and said, "Dad just how frustrated are you?" Yes or no... hah! Yes or not is not quite proper English but we understood! They are cute kids!

Nothing to new is going on with me. I do vinyl all week and work on the house with Dallas during the weekends. Here are a few pictures of what we have accomplished so far. In two years we just might be ready to leave Globe but I think we may want to take our house with us!

Oh but before I forget was confrence not amazing. I regretfully admit that I was not good about watching all sessions but with my new handy dandy t.v. I was able to record all four sessions and listen to them periodically throughout the day (I need to do better but that is my intent). Funny how things change, first how can you sit that long..two hours, then you move onto, yes I don't have to go to church this weekend to finally looking forward to, anticipating, and thriving in the talks that are given....again I don't do great with that but I am so glad I enjoy and look forward to these confrence sessions. I feel like they are all my personal friends and I can better see the Lord's hand in my life. Just like Eyreing (sorry for the slaughter) I want to have a journal that details the Lord's hand in our lives... Thanks for reiterating that Hawli!
