Cousins are fun

Megan got a new fancy camera and took these two really cute pictures.

Alright I'm done posting for a little bit now. I need to take some more pictures before I post again. We finished our basement and added some more color to the outside of our house. So when we finish up I'll post again :)

Arrrrrr Mateeees

So these posts are in no particular order. Sorry about that- but I dont want to take the time to organize them.

In October some time we went to the County Fair with Tyrel, Megan, and Allie. It was a lot of fun. Tyrel tried to do the rock wall and almost did it. Dean and Allie rode the Merry Go Round a few times and loved it.

and as you can see Vernon joined them on this little train ride. It was very entertaining.

We also went up to Mt. Graham to play in the snow. Dean HATED it at first but then I put my scarf and gloves on him and he ended up having a blast.

And this is Halloween. At the Trunk or Treat. Dean and Allie were both pirates. And sadly I dont think I ever got a picture of Cole. But he was cute in his Turtle/Dragon outfit (thanks Bonnie)

hiking, Kitty, and Cole

Vernon and I hiked down Mt. Graham back in September with my brother, Emily and Kayleigh (and all the other folk who I dont think I could name anymore). This was a lot of fun and something I want to do again this year. I dont think Kayleigh and Emily will be joining us again. They were hilarious the whole time. I think they both fell more than they hiked. (I know I shouldn't think that was hilarious but they were walking so funny and then would just fall get up and do it all over again)
This is our cat Shishkabob (no idea how to spell that) We had a gray cat named DuctSealer too but it didnt last very long.

So it's been awhile...

I cant believe how many things I havn't posted about. So hopefully in the next few days I can catch ya'll (such a fun word to use) up to speed on our family. I was going to go to bed, but I stopped in to turn the computer off and decided I should finally post something!!



So first up -- some pictures from the wonderful rain we've gotten in the past few weeks. Vernon went in to work a little late so he could take me and the boys to the wash.


We went down the wash a ways. Dean threw rocks in and told Daddy "bee caweful Daddy." or "wash out!"
That's our front yard. It was a soupy sloppy mess forever!!! We still have pools of water in places. Mostly though we just have ginormous ruts everywhere! Vernon has so many house projects I have no idea where "smoothing the front yard out" ranks on his list. Whenever I drive over them Deano always says "Wooaahh"
