Thanksgiving Fun

We spent Thanksgiving in Alamogordo at Aaron's grandmother's house. Most of the grandkids and greatgrandkids were there. We had a great meal and had lots of fun playing games and watching football. On Friday, several of the cousins played a round of golf.

I opted not to golf and instead, went to the International Space Hall of Fame.

Here is a picture of my lattice topped pumpkin pie. I know I'm bragging on myself (hey, it's my blog) but I thought it came out great. I have it on good authority that it tasted great too. I didn't eat it, I don't care for pumpkin pie.

Some of the fabulous characters in the family.

Are you surprised that one of them belongs to me??????
Here lies "HAM" the first chimp in space.

I don't even want to guess what she is thinking. I don't want to know, ignorance is bliss. I'll deal with the missile crisis when it arises.

Basketball Season Has Begun

4 years old!!!

I know it's a week late, but here's my birthday tribute to my middle child....Kylee Renee.

Happy Birthday Kylee!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

For Kylee and Krysten's very first trick or treating ever, we went to Sierra Vista to visit our cousins. The little girls were so excited about it. We went on Post (Ft. Huachuca) and it was great. Kylee caught on really fast and was running from house to house. Krysten refused to carry her candy bucket, but loved ringing door bells!

Princess Ariel

Princess Snow White

Sista Princessa (I know it's not really Spanish, but it rhymes!)

*** no, I didn't forget Tracey...she went to her dad's for Halloween***

The most wonderful time of the year.

It's the day that Aaron looks forward to all year.

His birthday?

Our anniversary?

Our kids birthdays?

Christmas?

No, no, no, and no.

It's the day he gets to build the first fire of the season.

Hot Stuff

Crying.

Red eyes.

Sweating.

Upset stomach.

That's how I found Tracey this evening when we picked her up at Surge (youth group) tonight.

No, it's not the H1N1 flu. She was the winner of the Salsa eating contest tonight. She ate an entire bowl of hot sauce.

Her prize? A jar of Louisiana Hot Sauce.

Yup, that's my girl. We are so proud.

This is the jar that Tracey took for the contest. I never found out how hot it was, but judging from the title...HOLY COW!!!!
