more birthday fun!

Need I say more??? I don't think so!

Enjoy the tune!

Mary had a great time with the singing balloons! Oh my...this was soo funny! We are ramping up for the birthday season here in our house with 4 more birthdays in 3 months (Dec, Jan & Feb)! We'll be partying nonstop!

Happy Birthday!

What a beautiful way to wake up...Mary recited "Happy Birthday Mommy" with little difficulty! She is thoroughly enjoying the Chupa pop (TEXAS sized) from Aunt Bebe!!!

We survived Thanksgiving

What a wonderful Thanksgiving we had this year. Gathered together with family, friends and lots of dogs! 3 of the 5 puppies went to new homes on Friday following Thanksgiving. This was a lot harder than I believe anyone had ever expected. Shelby's gang took home Franklin and Patty...I suppose that's one way to get us to come to Texas more often! We know that they will be loved by all...our little guy "Red" moved to a new home with a great family with lots of kids as well...

We had a lot of fun in the kitchen the day before the feast...I think Kathy might not ever want to come back when her other sister is here since she tends to be a jokester! We had fun, took lots of pictures; thank goodness we have digital cameras!

We started decorating for the season with a pleasant surprise from Mary...she LIKES her jewelry this year! In fact, so much she even had to sleep in her necklace last night. Clark Griswald (AKA Jimmy) has managed to utilize all the electrical outlets outside to make our house light up. We'll try to snap a picture in the dark although I'm sure we won't be able to replicate the beauty...just trust me, it's spectacular!

We are starting the countdown for Santa...if you need our wish lists, we can send them to you!!! :-)

some kodak moments

a few of the biggest KSTATE fans...E V E R!!!!!

It's bath time...this was the first bath for the puppies! I think this one liked it! What do you think??

Mary going potty like a big girl...or at least "trying to"!

HHMMM..... I wonder what Katie's thinking about???

Peanut with grampa Jim! Awww...how sweet is that!

pumpkin moments

Trying to get individual photos of the pups...not really working out too well. The picture with the 2 pups are the ones that will be staying here...

the individual pup is the one moving to TX in a few short weeks. (this one is the female). She left a nice present on the doorstep before we went back inside! Good for her! Who knows, maybe she'll be close to being potty trained before she goes to her new home.

the "peanuts" are growing up!

they all enjoyed their first taste of real food! They all seemed to really enjoy it! Of course Lucy and Charlie wanted some too!

What a spooktacular time

Mary with all of her candy (does she look happy????)

The sissies...all ready to go paint some pumpkins next door.

The girls went to a Halloween party this morning...Mary was digging the OREO cookies.
The Trick Or Treaters..

Andrew as the Rapper; Matthew; Katie and Mary as KSU Cheerleaders; Abbey as a gypsy.

A day filled with parties, costumes and lots of candy...can you say sugar high? Mary thoroughly enjoyed herself and this holiday!
