100 Days!

YES ...its true! One hundred days from today is Christmas! Who even wants to think about that right?! Certainly not me! But this year, Brets family is coming from out of state, so...... we wont be tripping anywhere... :( Im so sad about that!.. However, Ive decided Im going to try and enjoy shopping...ugh...and start early so that maybe it wont be drudgery for me. ;) Im really not a grinch, its just that with my kids all grown up its a lot harder to find great gifts for them. Anyhow, I was looking online for gift ideas and came across this website for personalizing gifts, and I thought I would share. Its personalizationmall.com. Im going to order new Christmas stockings from there. I just have to decide which ones now! I think this one is cute..

I LOVE this fisherman's stocking! Notice, the top is a fisherman's hat! Ahh its the coolest! Im getting it for Bryce since he loves fishing so much! Now for Amber...I wonder if they make Halloween Christmas stockings! Haha...she is crazy about Halloween!

If I were to choose this style of stocking...I would definitely have to add some bling! Actually, it could be a fun Christmas project. Perhaps the bling would include adding sequins and beads.. or maybe glitter and/or ribbon here and there...etc.. Hmmm...decisions , decisions!

Halfway!! Hump Day!!

Nick is now officially half done with his mission in Peru. Im thrilled to finally be counting down instead of up! Yay!!! He is one happy youngin, and Im one proud mommacita!

Surprise!

Im going to be a grandma! WOO HOO!!!! Bryce and Amber brought us these photos they had taken and put the best one on the bottom of the stack. What a fun surprise that was! They have been wanting a baby for a long time. We are all so darned excited! :D

Timing is everything!

Because we do crazy things in our family all the time, I was asking my daughter-in-law if she thinks we are a pack of weirdos......and just as I finished asking her that question..this is what waltzed in the door!

Captain Swap

Every once in awhile we think Captain Bret needs a turn on the tubes... so... we swapped captains....

Captain Bret instigated taunting Captain Krame....

and taking the appropriate course of action... Captain Krame made him pay for it!

They had a wild ride!

24!!

Happy Birthday Al Gal!!
