"Christmas, Christmas Time is near..."

Lovin' the Leaves!

I am definately slow to post these ones. As I sit here now, it is a whopping 16 outside with snow on the ground. Oh well, these remind me of the beautiful fall we had. All of these are of Kendi because Hallie didn't love the leaves...at all.

Cat/Griz was COLD this year, but Pat and I still has a blast..even though the Cats sucked it up!

Kendi "doesn't need naps anymore because she's a big girl" and most of the time she doesn't. Occasionally she will pass out at about supper time. That is not just a pillow she is laying on....Poor Bridger!

The Snow has Arrived

Does this remind you of the kid in the bunny suit from "The Christmas Story"?

The snow finally arrived with enough force to go sledding. The kids were a little more excited than I, but the spirit did hit once I saw their enthusiasm.

My little bugs!

Hallies first full chocolate bar!

Halloween!

Hallie got into it this year.....really she did!

Go CATS GO!

with the regular season of Bobcat football wrapping up, I thought I had better get around to posting the pictures from the first game.
On the way to the game....

The Starting Point...

I know I posted the greenhouse saga backwards, but here is where we started. The big overgrown bush in now the location of the greenhouse.

Finally finished!

I never caught any photos of the six guys that came to help slide the greenhouse off the trailer on the site, or of the newly finished fence that we had to take apart to get the trailer through (barely), but here is the final product.

I decided to tile the floor. I thought it would fancy it up a bit and be a little nicer to keep clean. I learned a few things along the way and broke a couple tiles, but rather inexpensive way to gain a lot of knowledge.


Here is my lovely finished greenhouse, already crammed full. It will be more crammed if all goes as planned come this spring. (Mom, I did save a spot for your vine!) Complete with a chair to relax in and a sandbox for the kids!

up..



and away....
