It's beginning to look like Christmas

The other day Brock, Ella and myself shared a wonderful experience with my mom. We went to a gardening shop that is completely decked out for Christmas! It can put any Scrooge in the Christmas mood. Brock and Ella were in ahh. I had each of them pick out one rod ament that they wanted to put on our tree this year. We also took some pictures by our favorite displays.

I even got some paper whites for a Christmas display in our home. Can't wait to watch them grow!

Oh and check out the upside down Christmas tree!!! It was Brock's FAVORITE!

New garage

For the second time in 5 years my car has made it into our garage! It is like a new garage. I haven't dared move my car out because it might lose its spot.

Tim took the road block up to the farm, as we do not use it here but it was taking up quite a bit of space and my parking spot. Since Tim was having a hard time letting it go I think he compromised by moving it up to the farm. It will always have a place input hearts and will some day make its way to a completed revamped truck.

Little cuddle time

Ella caught a cold. You couldn't tell by this picture, but maybe she got more sleep than us. Either way, we enjoy our cuddle time with her.

We are at the ice cream shop today. Brock was able to put all his letters in order (minus the "d" because we lost it) on the dishwasher, so we are treating him to some ice cream. He is always amazing me.

Giggles

My kids sure do make me giggle. I am not feeling up to par today due to a cold. So we have been house bound. I think they are starting to go stir crazy!

What do you see?

In just under 7 days my baby girl will be a year old. Today I was able to put her amazing hair in a ponytail. As I was getting ready for the day, Tim snapped this photo.

I see a 12 year old trying on her moms makeup... It is going by too fast!

Buddies

Champ is a part of the family. However, she has been getting into trouble over the summer about barking outside when we are not home. She is kenneled in an area where she is least likely to see people. But due to complaints she now is an inside dog when we are gone. Good for the neighbors, bad for us... Now she is getting into trouble eating our food if left on the table.
But how can you resist this buddy?

Reunited...

Okay all, so I was lost for the last couple of months, but now that I have figured out how to post from my phone, you may be hearing from me weekly! I am excited to be able to update easier and quicker... Hope you all enjoy and don't get sick of the updates.

So here is what we have missed; Brock turned 3 in September. Halloween came and went, and we just stuffed ourselves with turkey. But I haven't been. Ideally sitting around. I have been a little elf. Here are some of the Christmas projects I have been working on...

Happy thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving from our family to yours!
