Ode to Brandi...

It's so nice that Brandi could move back to town so she could host EVERYTHING!!! Thanksgiving was at her house....and it was so great!! She does such an incredible job telling us what to do!!! =) But seriously....everything was perfect and a wonderful day!! Thanks Brandi!!

This is a cute picture of Ryan and my cute Aunt Elaine!! Ryan just hugged and snuggled her!!! I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful family full of people who are so fun and hilarious!! I'm very thankful for them all!!!

Standing...

So...it only took about a week before Ryan decided crawling wasn't all that cool! Pulling himself up is the newest trick!! It won't be long before he figures out how to walk....so sad!! I'm not ready for my baby to be a toddler!!

Crawling

Ryan decided to crawl on November 11. At least that's when we saw him move intentionally with both his arms and legs moving together!! He's going all over the place now...it's so cute.

The Rivalry

It's that time again.....Go Cougars!!!

Wish I was watching with my friends again.....on the "top row"!!! =) Still makes me giggle that my ticket actually said that!!

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!

Oh Boy.....look who's 30!!! (Finally!!!) This pic was taken on the pier in San Francisco...that's the Golden Gate Bridge in the background!! Des/Ryan.....remember how good lunch was??!!

A Halloween Tradition

For as long as I can remember....we have always gone out to my grand-parents' house on Halloween for chili. It's a tradition that I love and I'm so happy to share it with my own boys. This is a picture with Team Newton...the Hulk is of course....Mike.

This last pic is Ryan's first lollypop!! You can always count on my Dad to introduce the boys to the better things in life!! I love the looks on both of their faces!!
