It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Well here we are....officially in the midst of the holiday season!! I just thought I'd share a few pics. I know this post is short. There isn't a whole lot of new news to share. We've been busy decorating for Christmas, but I have a feeling that we will have quite a few pictures within this next month or so! Enjoy!!

A year to be thankful for!
With Thanksgiving a little over a week away, I thought I'd post my "Thankful" blog now!! And boy do we have a lot to be thankful for this year!!
We started off our year 2010 with a beautiful new addition to our family, one day old, Emily Esther!! Weighing it at 7 pounds 1 ounce and 19 inches long on December 31,2009 she is such a wonderful blessing to our family!! And I can hardly believe she'll be 1 in 6 short weeks!! Shortly after Emily was born, we bought a camper and have loved using it already!! We went camping in it and have spent many afternoons eating lunch in it at our house!! One of our best investments yet!! And speaking of investments, we were able to sell our townhouse and buy a different house for our growing family!! We bought a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home just south of Wright on about 5 acres!! Now that is the best investment yet!! Life can't get any better out here!! We absolutely love our new home and have enjoyed every minute of our life in it!! We spent the summer getting un-packed and enjoying our new space. We even had time for a camping trip with my parents this year!! We had the funnest time EVER!! While our summer was coming to an end, we got a phone call that we've been waiting for! A lady in Lander, Wyoming had a boy pug puppy for sale and Andy has been wanting to get one forever! The price was right, the color was right, the gender was right...so we took a road trip to Lander!! He was instantly a welcome addition to our family and fits right in!! Andy named him Ruger and the name fits well!! He is growing every day and finally (!!!!!!!!!) getting the hang of going potty outside!! Now I am super thankful for that!! Our fall began and so did our busy schedule!! Andy spent a lot of time in the Black Hills hunting for his elk and he FINALLY got one!! We were all super excited for him. Also, Emily took her first steps and started walking this fall. She is getting really good at keeping up with her big brother now. She walks everywhere and enjoys it as well!! Then, on November 5 our little boy turned 3!! So excited to see him growing up, but a little sad at the same time. It is unbelievable how fast time flies by and we are so lucky to have Garrett as our own!! He is such a joy and SO MUCH FUN!! He has developed quite a personality and sense of humor. We can't imagine life without him!! He's perfect!! And now here we are, a week and a few days away from Thanksgiving!! This is my favorite time of year...and now we're finally getting some snow!! Garrett and Emily both love playing in it and when Garrett sees that it's snowing he can't wait to get bundled up and head outside!!
Well, that sums up just about our entire year!! We've had a great year filled with some incredible memories!! I would have to say, this is one of our best years yet...and I hear it only gets better and better!! We would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the rest of 2010!! We know we will!!
Please enjoy the pictures of our year!!

Garrett turned 3!!!!
On November 5 our little boy turned 3 years old!! Hard to believe how fast time has flown by these past three years!! He is such a joy to have and he is the funnest, most entertaining little boy on the planet!! We love him so much and I thought I'd share some pictures of his party. We celebrated with friends and family on November 6 with chili, cake and ice-cream....and LOTS of fun presents!! Also, thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us. This was one of his best parties yet!! Today we are relaxing and cleaning up the aftermath of his party. And Andy is putting together Garrett's train set and Car Garage!! (Click on the pictues to see them bigger).
Fabulous Fall!
I thought I'd post a few pictures of our fabulous fall that we've been having!!
