Hello everyone! We just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you had an enjoyable one. Ours was very good and spent with special friends. We wish we could have spent it with family but we will be home for Christmas. Clay is pretty proud cause he got to carve his first turkey!! Way to go babe!! We love you all and you are always is our thoughts and prayers. We are grateful for all of you this holiday season!!

Rainy but fun!

We had a wonderful weekend. Clay's parents came up to visit and check out our new area. We had a lot of fun. The boys went and toured some packing facilities Friday while us girls went shopping. We went to some fun craft stores and decorating stores. On Saturday the boys went and set up a table at Sportsman's and sampled jerky all day. It seemed like they were successful let's just hope we have some repeat customers. And us girls hung out and did a little more shopping. And we made Grandma Allen curly again. I gave Cindy a perm that morning. It was nice to do that cause I needed a little refreshing on my perming skills. It has been a while since I gave a perm. Ryley has decided her new sentence in life is "I want some more!" Can you believe it that that would be her first sentence? What kid doesn't want more!! Ha ha We just had to laugh at her cause it didn't matter what it was she wanted more. It is actually pretty cute. It was a great weekend except for the fact that it pretty much rained the whole time. I was hoping we would have beautiful 60 degree weather but oh well. Mother nature rules once again. OH I need another moment to brag. Ryley went #2 at church yesterday!! On the Big Big Girl Pottie!! It was so awesome. It was like she just knew what to do. She did her thing and then said "Done!" I'm a proud Mommy!!! Ok I am done bragging!! No new house news. We still just have a lot with dirt on it, no hole in the ground. Maybe this week!!

I'm a big girl now!!

Ok so I have been trying to decide whether to put this on or not but I have to brag. That is my right as a mother, Right? Well I think it is!! Ryley is getting to be a big girl, she has gone #2 on the big girl potty 3 times!! I am so proud of her. Hopefully she will catch on to the whole idea and be potty trained someday soon. I am about tired of diapers. But I am so proud of her. Yeah Ryley!!!

Winter is coming!

It is starting to finally get a little colder here. Can I tell you how much I love the weather here?!? It is awesome. It has been between 55-60 this whole week. We still don't really need jackets. Beautiful sunshine and fall leaves. It can't get any better. We had our family pictures taken this week which I am so excited for since we really haven't had any since Ryley was 2 weeks old. So it will be good to have new ones. I am getting so excited to have my own house. I keep telling Clay all my decorating ideas and I think I am making him a little nervous. I know it will take time to have it the way I want it but I just think it is fun to explore my options and dream. Dream big I guess cause that is all I have right now!! haha. Well one day it will be fun to fulfill my dreams. I am so excited for the holidays. I love this time of year and the feelings you get because of how special this time really is. Christmas is going to be fun with Ryley this year. She will kind of get the whole presents thing, I hope. And I am most excited because we get to go home to Idaho and see our families. Clay's parents are coming this weekend to see us and I am excited to have them come stay with us. It will be fun to show them our new area. And to just see familiar faces. Hopefully this week will go by fast!!
