This morning was Rory's morning to sleep in, so Sadie and I got up and watched some HGTV together. It was great quality bonding time. She especially enjoys Designed to Sell, Lisa LaPorta is her fav designer! Rory eventually got up and we slowly got ready for the day, as Rory cleaned out our garage-yay!-and made a dump run. Go hun! Rory's parents … [Read more...]

Tonight we went to the downtown tree lighting and Christmas parade in Gilroy. Boy, do we go all out...we had Santa there! We also had candy thrown at us, sirens blaring at us, and Sadie loved it! She had a blast watching all the people and various automobiles in the parade go by. She never even fussed at all! She just fell asleep later on in her … [Read more...]

We went up to the Oakland temple tonight to see the Christmas lights they put up each year. We got there around 6 or so, but ended up waiting to see them come on at eight. Sheesh! We were a bit bored and cold, but it's always fun to see the lights! My bundled up cutie! Apparently Rory is not cold. The fam, minus Steph taking the picture. I'm not … [Read more...]

Our Thanksgiving was pretty low key this year...and pretty silly. It all started out innocently enough... Watching Aunt NaNa make an apple pie...then a fight broke out over the crust. Then the lovebirds started frolicking... It even spread to us! Luckily my chocolate pie escaped the silliness. It all ended with Janae spraying a whipped … [Read more...]

I love Halloween! We met at my parents house for a supper of Bat Wings and cornbread. YUM. Then, after a LONG wait for SOMEBODY who hadn't picked out a costume yet (JOANNA), we took off and went trick or treating at a few houses. Not too many cause Sadie was already tired and past her bedtime. Aww. the infamous Hershey's Kiss costume! Isn't she … [Read more...]
