Sunrise

So the quality of this picture isn't the best, but you get what you can get when all you have is the camera on the phone.

We were on our way to work this morning and I thought it was a pretty sunrise.

So I decided to share it with you.

Paperclips

Here I am at work and making some copies. I took the paper clip off the papers and set it down and proceeded to make my copies. I then looked down and this is what I saw...

I didn't think you could balance a paperclip on its edge like that, especially without even trying.

Learn something new everyday!!

Snow...

We were running some errands on Saturday and it was snowing the entire time. This is what we had to shovel when we got home around 2PM.
It has yet to get above 0 degrees since Saturday night, though the high today is 1. Here is hoping. Tomorrow its supposed to be around 5-8 degrees above zero... HEAT WAVE!!!!

Christmas Season

While my parents were here the Saturday right after Thanksgiving we put up all our Christmas decorations.

I had to take a lot of our pictures down to make room for decorations. It happens every year.




We are heading to Helena on Friday to make candy with family. We are trying to see if we can hang out with some friends while we are there... Not sure if it is possible this trip. If we can't we will definitely make time while we are there for Christmas.

Thanksgiving 2008

Here are 2 of the 10 place mats I made for this Thanksgiving and the rest that will be had at our house.


Here is the centerpiece I came up with. I like how it turned out!

Here is the table before the food goes on...

This was our first Thanksgiving at our house. We had my family from Washington over as well as our friend Danielle. Even my 85 year old Granny was able to make it. It was a very nice Thanksgiving.

We all decided that we wanted a family picture taken, so we headed for the park. I placed the camera on a garbage can and squeezed everyone close and hit the 10 second timer. It turned out pretty well for a spur of the moment kind of thing.


I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!

I am...

Sunday

We had Nic (our little brother)over and played some new games that we recently bought. Granted they are kids games, but we do a lot of babysitting and its always good to have games that kids are able to play.

Ker-plunk - a new favorite

Don't break the ice - pretty fun, it requires more set up then what it takes to play the game.. That's ok, its still fun.

Don't spill the beans - makes you kind of try to think of where to place the beans.

Uno - tried it and he is still too you for the concept of it.



Do you have any favorite kids games??

Saturday

Well, we went to see the movie Twilight on Saturday night. Josh and I both enjoyed it, and he hasn't even read the book yet. I think that they did a very good job choosing the characters for the movie, they all played their part well.

I read book 2 on Saturday night/Sunday morning. It was a slower read then the first book (also almost 80 pages more) but still a very good book. Now I can't wait to finish the series. I hope they make a movie for New Moon. If they do I sure hope they use the same people. That always makes life easier.

Book 2

So I splurged and got book 2 in the 4 book series...

I am trying my hardest to not start it since I won't be able to stop reading. We are going to see the movie on Saturday night, so Saturday day I am going to spend doing chores and that leaves Sunday for me to read my book.

I am so excited to see the movie, even though I know what is in store for me. I can't emphasize enough how good the book was. If you are wanting a good read I whole heartily recommend it.

Little Nic...

The last couple of weekends we have had to cancel on our little brother Nic. We were looking forward to having out with him this last weekend but I had slowly gotton over a bug and Josh was still in the middle of the bug. We are both feeling tons better now.

This Friday night, the 21st, we are taking Nic to see Bolt in 3-D.

It looks like a really cute movie and he really wants to see it.

It should be lots of fun.

On a side note on Saturday night Josh, our friend Danielle, and I are going to see the movie Twilight.. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Twilight

I bought this book yesterday,

OMG I couldn't put it down. I read it in 7 hours, cover to cover. I LOVED IT!!!

We are definatey going to see it next weekend (11-22-08)

I also can't wait till I can splurge and get the next book in the series.

I just want to know what happens next....No wait... Don't tell me. I want to read it!!

football

For those of you that read this that live local...

FLAG FOOTBALL

9:00AM at Roskie Fields

No matter the weather we will play!!!

In reference to this entry...

Here is the video promised...



I find it funny how half way through about half the guys are swaying with each other and then towards the end they try it again but can't quite get everyone doing it at the same time.

I hope none of them quite their day jobs!!

Tis the Season

This weekend Josh is on a camping trip with our friends Owen, Devlin, and their dad. They think that they will all tag all the deer they have licenses for. I think they are dreaming. They each have 2 deer tags and an elk tag. Don't get me wrong, if they all tag out the season is over and we will have plenty of meat for the coming year.

I wish them all luck to get what they are going for.

House

Well our friends Conrad and Ali bit the bullet and bought a house.

YAY!!!!


Congrats guys!!!
