Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!! I know we did!! We just spent the day being lazy, and cooking and eating!! Daddy was the most productive! He went on a bike ride, and cleaned the cars!! Thanks Daddy! Mommy spent the afternoon cooking, and Daddy did the turkey. It was Yummy!!! My favorite was the Turkey and the "Burgers" (which Mommy and Daddy called biscuits - I don't know why, they look like burgers to me!!) I'm very thankful for my Mommy and Daddy, and my Grandpa and Grandma Louie, and Gran Wilson, and my Aunts and Uncles and cousins, and Mo-Mo and Piper, and Raider (cuz who else can I lay on and pull their tail!!) and everyone else!!
Then Mommy had to work on Friday and Saturday. Friday was a crazy busy day for her!! She was the only person working for the ENTIRE Larimer County Parks system!!! And on top of that, it was almost 70 degrees outside!! That made for quite an exciting day!! It started not long after she got to work with some people hunting at Fossil Creek Reservoir (illegally!). But by the time she got numbers of people to call for backup they were gone. Then she went to the two busiest places in the county - Devil's Backbone and Horsetooth Mountain. She spent the rest of the day running back and forth from these places. Thy were both full to capacity, and she spent two hours cleaning out the money vault at Horsetooth mountain because there were too many people putting money in there for it to hold it all!!! Thankfully she had Saturday (a much cooler and less busy day) to recooperate!
Then yesterday we went up the Poudre Canyon to take some pictures for our Christmas cards, like we always do. I don't know why Mommy makes us do this!! I hate it!! I can't stand sitting still for a picture, so Mommy got very mad at me. We didn't get very many pictures taken, so Mommy says we will try again next weekend. (hehehe we'll see about that!!) Here's one she took that shows just how grumpy I was during this trip.

Next weekend we are going up to Red Feather Lakes to cut down our Christmas tree. Daddy was also trying to plan a Jeep trip with some friends to go "Snow Bashing", but there's not a lot of snow up in the mountains yet, so that might have to wait. Then the next weekend we've got a couple of parties going. One with Daddy's friend from work, and one we are having for the Colts vs. Broncos game (haha Colts are gonna kick butt!!) Mommy only has one more day of work left, on Wendesday, then she's done until January!! She's only going to work part time when she goes back, just on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm happy that she will be able to spend time with me all week, but Daddy's sad cuz he won't get to see her much, or do anything as a Family during that time. At least it's only until March, then Mommy will start back full-time.

Well, that's about it going on here. Mommy didn't get a lot of pictures taken this month, cuz we were so busy. But there will be a lot more from next month!! See you all later!

Skinny, nakey boy!

Well, I don't have a whole lot to talk about this week. Mommy and Daddy have been busy working, and I've been busy playing!! A couple of things I wanted to tell you about though -

1. Our New TV!!! Mommy and Daddy have been meaning to get a new TV, recently our old one was flickering to black & white a lot, so we knew it was only a matter of time. So we got a 46 in. LCD Sony something or other! But Daddy found a great deal on it, so we pretty much got a FREE surround sound system AND BlueRay player!!! (And I got Disney's Cars on Blue Ray - we watch it almost daily!!) Which means we also got HDTV now!! Merry Christmas Mommy and Daddy!!

2. I hate wearing clothes now!! Once I get to the babysitters, I usually take my shoes and socks off first thing. But if I'm at home . . . it's only a matter of time before everything else comes off too!! I'm usually pretty good at keeping a diaper on (most of the time), cuz then Mommy and Daddy don't fight me as much, but this is how I run around the house most of the time:

I'm really growing up, but not out - as you can see!! Mommy and Daddy can't believe how skinny I am, and say it makes it really hard to find clothes for me. Mommy teases that she will never be able to potty train me, cuz diapers are the only thing keeping my pants up!!!

3. Mommy's almost done with work!! Her last day for the year is December 2. She can come back in January, after she takes a month off. She's just trying to decide if she wants to go back fulltime, or parttime. She likes spending time with me, but she also likes her job a lot, and the little extra money is nice too.

4. MORE SNOW!! We had another snow storm yesterday and today! about 8 inches!! But with my new no clothes policy, I didn't want to go play in it! Daddy went out and let the doggies play in the snow, but Mommy and I stayed inside. It sounds like we are going to get alot of snow this year!! YAY!!

Well that's about it. not a lot going on right now! Things will pick up a little bit after Thanksgiving towards Christmas. Oh yeah - and we get to go visit everyone in Indy for New Year's this year!! It's going to be a short trip, only a few days, but at least I'll get to see everyone again!! And the good news is Daddy only has to take one vacation day for the Trip!! YAY, that means more time next year!! See ya all later!

SNOW FOR HALLOWEEN!!!

So this year our first "blizzard" came early!! BEFORE Halloween!!! It wasn't acutally a blizzard - but we did get a heck of a lot of snow!! Fort Collins (nearby) got 19 inches, and places that Mommy works in got 27 inches!!! Here's some pictures that Mommy took at work the day of all the snow. And here's a picture of some cookies Mommy made for Halloween. They are Owls!! Isn't that fun!!

Mommy got a new cookbook of all cookies and cookie stuff. In fact Mommy made a fruit pizza from it for MOPS (it was her tables' turn to bring food) and she won the best dish prize!! YAY Mommy!!

Anyways, all of the snow is pretty much melted now, but we thought we were going to have to build snowmen instead of scarecrows for halloween this year!! In fact, we didn't even get to carve our pumpkins because they were buried under about 9 inches of snow and frozen!! Oh well! We did go to a halloween party at one of Daddy's co-workers house. I got to tag along cuz Mommy and Daddy couldn't find a babysitter. I had fun! I got to dress up in my costume and eat popcorn and witches finger cookies!! yum!! Here's a picture of me in my costume

Aren't I just the cutest little vampire you've ever seen!!! Mommy was Shawn Johnson (the gymnast), and Daddy was a "Ghost Rider" - he dressed up in a sheet and his mountain biking gear! This is the only pictures we have of me dressed up though, because I didn't get dressed up last night for halloween. I woke up cranky from my nap and was just being a party-pooper the whole rest of the night. Mommy and Daddy tried to trick me into getting my costume on by telling me we were playing dress-up, and going outside to "play" for candy. Italizied words are usually the key words to get me to do something, but I was smarter than them this time!! I wasn't gonna go!! They almost had me tricked when the first group of trick-or-treaters came to the door, and I saw Mommy give them candy. But I resisted!! And went candy free last night. So now the only candy we have is what is left over from the Trick-or-Treaters.

So I missed out on Trick-or-Treating? Who cares - There's always next year!! And maybe then I'll understand this crazy facination everyone has with Dressing up to play outside for candy!!!
