I *heart* hunting season!

Usually when I was a kid, deer hunting season opened on my birthday (December 15) so being the good rednecks we are, we went hunting. Even as a little girl, I can remember tromping through the snow scouting our next meal. My brothers probably remember it as them dragging or carrying me whining through the forest trying to shoosh me so I didn't scare off the deer but I'm sure I was quiet as a church mouse and if I spoke it was to help give them directions so we didn't get lost...yes, I'm quite sure that's how it went. :) Here's a great picture of my brother Marty and his boys (Josh-17 and Cody-10) with Marty's deer this year. Not bad for an old guy! Click here for Cody's best quote ever.

Aloha!

I'm in sunny Honolulu and enjoying every minute! At the airport on the way here, I stopped at Wendy's and ordered "The Baconater, no onions"...what I got? A baconater with no bacon and extra onions...

Standing up can be hard on the Knees

Okay so Bailey is developing so fast!!!

All of us were at home last night when Bailey stood up for the first time without using help. I just heard from Mary that he did it again this morning! So now he's not only been walking for over a month now and it is a day under a month from his 1 yr old birthday he now can stand up from a sitting position without using help by grabbing something. He really is amazing and is so much fun to play with.

As an aside the best thing so far is he is happy and very expressive. He started scowling a couple of weeks ago and seriously, I mean seriously, his scowl is beyond adorable. He scowls with his eyebrows and his lips, seriously cute.



Okay you all know that Mary and I can go on and on, for any given day at how overjoyed we are at having Bailey in our lives. I look forward to adding more in the near future when I get so much time with him all to myself! :-) Especially with his awesome sleepy faces and incredible bed head.

Stupid computers...

For some reason, when you try to comment on my blog, it sort of tweaks out. Many of you have reported this problem. Just for the record, it's not me secretly forbidding you not to leave a comment (in fact, it's a bright spot in my day when someone leaves a comment because then I know at least one person is reading my blog!). When the box pops up and asks you if you want to display the nonsecure items, say YES. If you click to leave a comment and it freaks out and doesn't give you that box, close the comment thing and click it again.


Who would've ever thought in a million years, I'd be giving computer advice? Hmmm...

Chili "Cheese" Nachos Bell Grande

The other day we ate Taco Bell and I ordered the Chili Cheese Nachos Bell Grande minus tomatoes (in the drive through, of course) and when I sat down to eat it at home, they had forgotten the cheese...but they left the tomatoes on, which was nice of them.

Happy 1st Halloween, Bailey!

Bailey trick-or-treated to Auntie Erika's house on Halloween...so did Mommy & Grandma but they got grown up treats called "margaritas"... :)
