My Fancy

I fancy any sort of miniature man clothes. If Jon would want it in his size, I have to have it for Tag. That is why this navy peacoat was a must.

Twilight?

Yep, loved it. Can't wait to see it again. Fulfilled my wildest dreams and expectations.

Dear Edward:
I luv you!

Dear Jacob:
I cannot wait to see more of you next year!

Dear Stephanie:
Thank you for hours and hours of entertainment.

Dear Amanda:
Thank you for introducing me to these three.

My Wisest Purchase Yet.

I'm quite certain I've never made a wiser purchase. Say hello to the Dirt Devil Kone. I'm telling you, this sleek little thing in a variety of fabulous colors will change your life. I was so sick of crunching cheerios and graham crackers under my feet, so I began my search for the perfect hand-held vac, and I found it on Wal-Mart.com. $40 and worth every penny. It is always charged and ready to use, and how adorable, it illuminates (this was an added bonus I didn't even notice before the purchase). It sits out on my kitchen counter and looks like some sweet decor instead of a yucky vacuum. Now, after each Tag boy meal, we have a simple and quick routine: vacuum floor, vacuum Tag, vacuum highchair. All is clean and beautiful! I can even use it in the car! Who ever thought a vacuum could make me this happy?

Happy 9 months & first tooth.

Yesiree, Tag has officially been out of me for as long as he was in me. To celebrate, he cut his first tooth yesterday, and slept through the night. Hooray!

My gorilla and banana

I know, I know, this is a bit late, and everyone is so over Halloween for another year. But, I just had to post all of our Halloween stuff. Prepare yourself for Halloween overhaul!

King Kong, Anne, and King Kong's favorite snack!

It's a good thing I'm not really a platinum blonde.

Interesting to note that Tag was not afraid of the gorilla, although Jon was effective in making all of our nieces and nephew, along with some other random children, cry:(

A lady bug, banana, and sheep. Oh so cute!

Have you ever wondered what bananas eat?

Tower o pumpkins.

We cheated at the pumpkin walk and went around the outside fence. Still had a great view and made it through in half the time...Genious!

A spooky treat I made for our ward Halloween party. The first and last time I'll ever make them.

FHE pumpkin carving.

Last, but not least, the cute Halloween shirt Grandma Abel bought him. It's in an 18-24 month, so I'm hopin for a few more good wears next year too.

The end. Welcome Thanksgiving!

Random Pictures I Like!

It is not easy to feed this guy. I go through at least 4 spoons at every meal.

AFLAC

I met my sis and her kids at the Dinosaur Park. This duck was very pushy and I was terrified it would bite me. Nikki, on the other hand, pet it and encouraged her children to do the same.

Riding a something-a-saurus

Cool guy in his robe and slippers.

This is what happens when you refuse a nap all day. You crash while playing.

Picture Tag

You know the rule, 4th folder, 4th picture. Here's mine:This is at the airport waiting for Elder Bush to arrive home. My dad and I are just adoring my, then 2 1/2 month old, niece, Savana.
I tag Shay... I don't believe I've seen you do this one. Get crackin!

Yep, he's pretty much the same guy I loved in high school:)

Except NOW he brings home a paycheck.

Must see.....

Going Private!

Hey everyone!  

Well, I so don't want to do this because it is sooo fun to find old and new friends through blogging, but I think it is time to go private so I don't have to worry about the creepies out there. I'm sure most all of us either watched the channel 5 special on blogging, (or were repeatedly told about it by our mothers).  

So pretty pretty please leave me your email address.  I'll probably do it in about 2 weeks.  Even if you're not on my blog list and come by every now and then, I'd love to add you (if I know you that is:)   

Also, I think it would be great if blogger.com would work similar to facebook, and allow users to request to be a friend/blogger on the private page that comes up if you don't have access.   I'm going to send this as a comment to blogger on their help center page.  If anyone else thinks this would be great, I'd encourage you to do the same.  Maybe they will make that possible, and then private blogs won't have to miss out on friends who come across their site, but don't have any other way to make contact.  Get my drift?

Thanks Blogging Pals!

Welcome President Elect Obama

What a monumental election we were all able to participate in.  It is amazing to see our country's progress in so many different ways.  As I was watching the polling results last night, Rudy Giuliani made a great comment before the results were given.  He was asked if he had faith in Obama fixing the mortgage/economy crisis.  Giuliani replied by saying he is a McCain supporter, but if Obama were to win, tomorrow morning we are all Americans and should support Obama, because if he is to fail as our President, we all fail.  I think with all of these party differences, this is often a difficult thing for Americans to do.  I'll be the first to admit, I'm not the biggest George Bush Fan, although I was disgusted with the constant disrespect he was given as our President. The highest office in our Country deserves a certain honor that it no longer is receiving.  I hope that as a country we can all support our new President, no matter who we voted for (and maybe give our current President a little more love on his way out).

I'm assuming you all may be curious as to who I voted for, or maybe by this title you just assume Obama. Well, I consider myself unaffiliated and I sincerely try to sort out the issues, ignoring party lines, and make a decision with prayer.  It really was a hard one for me.  I'm just excited to see what our new President can do in healing world relationships and correcting the economy.  I sure am grateful to live in a free country with so many opportunities.  I also am grateful for my Dad for serving in the military and taking a part in politics.  I really see him as a great example and an involved citizen in bettering our country.  I also just happened to marry into a very patriotic family, also with military backgrounds and political service.  Not to mention a husband who was born the day before our country's birthday and has a deep admiration and love for these same things.  What wonderful, USA loving, examples I have for my children!
