November 2010:
November was pretty uneventful. We spent a lot of time at home wishing it was December, so Christmas could come already! We put up our Christmas tree and all our Christmas decorations the week before Thanksgiving. We figured since we would be out of town for Thanksgiving and the week after Christmas, it would be nice to enjoy the decorations a little earlier. We took some time this month to try for the perfect Christmas card photo! I think we got it! And we also spent sometime trying out the best cookie recipes so that Santa would be extra lucky at our house this year! We were thinking that we would just do Thanksgiving at home with the four of us, since our nearest family was 10 hours away. But we changed our minds at the beginning of the month. We decided to have Thanksgiving at Michael’s parents house. And we’re so glad we changed our minds. The great grandparents all came in for Thanksgiving too! It was so nice to have everyone together. And the kids got to see their PawPaw Jerry and Nanny Brenda, and Great Grandma Taylor for the second time in their lives. We only wish we had gotten pictures! Still can’t believe that we didn’t!

We're Still Alive...

So...I'm a pretty bad blogger. And I have totally neglected this blog AND doing our monthly pages for 2010. But I'm trying to get caught up! So here's two more months for ya!

September 2010:
Most of our September was spent exploring the town and area around us. We took many walks around Mertzon. Most of those walks ended us up at the school playground so the kids could slide! We also visited the International Water Lilly Garden, it was in full bloom this month! We did lots of geocaching too! Christie’s point and shoot camera broke this month, thanks to Hunter throwing it on the ground, So Michael surprised her by bringing home her dream DSLR Camera. We tried to adopt a new dog also, but he kept climbing over the 6ft privacy fence, so we couldn’t keep him. This month, “Big Red” (the little red car Michael bought) officially bit the dust.
Good thing Michael can carpool with Ethan to work! And yay for cooler weather!

October 2010:
October was crazy fun! We started the month out with a trip to Little Rock! Michael’s sister married her fiance, Jeff; and they became a sweet family of three! While in Little rock we got to visit the zoo! One of our favorite things to Do! The kids had fun while in little rock, and got to spend time with Memaw, pawpaw and their cousin Peyton! Aunt Candice had fall break this month from college and she visited us for a few days. The kids adore their aunt candice and
had a great time hanging all over her and showing her “the sights” of west Texas. We’re lucky that every October that Christie’s grandparents come in to visit around her birthday! They got to stay for a week, and we got to spend lots of time catching up! Christie Turned 27 this month! We took the kids to the pumpkin patch in San Angelo for the first time. They really enjoyed seeing all the different sizes, shapes, and colors of the pumpkins. Grammie Made Haylie’s Cat costume and Hunter just had to be a cowboy! Haylie told Christie she had to be a witch and Michael decided to match hunter We went trick or treating at church!
