Is it too early for Christmas Music?...

Fall is most certainly among us. And with fall there are so many memories, the holidays of fall and sharing good times with the family we love. Shortly after Thanksgiving comes Christmas, therefore the feeling of fall only means that it is the appropriate time to play Christmas music in the home (which I am listening to as I write this)... or "we" are listening to. I expect Hank will have "Jingle Bell Rock" memorized by December 25th. And for those of you that could use a tip... let PANDORA.COM be your friend (best free music on the planet)

Hank's FIRST birthday is just around the corner on October 25th our baby will be one! I can't EVEN believe it! We are so unprepared, but believe me, since that is NOT like me, I should have it all planned by next week. Can I just say that family time is SOOO valuable to us right now. Never have we experienced before being together as little as we are. :-( Kids, make sure when you grow up that you finish College first... not before you get married, just before you have kids. LOL. Nah, everything happens for a reason. Though we are strapped on time, we are HAPPY. Life is good, Marriage is good, Parenting is good. Who could ask for more? So we started at a new church recently and we love it so far, very active and friendly. If you ever want to hear their podcast services go to MISSION68.ORG

Tyler's grandpa Labrum just came to town for a visit (Hank's great grandpa) We love you, thanks for taking the day to come hang out and love on the little guy!

Hmmm, what else?... Blogging is great, get into it, myspace, blogspot, facebook, whatever you're into, stay connected... it's also a great JOURNAL! - I've heard there is a program that takes all your blogs and prints them into a book. I need to look into that... Have a great OCTOBER Everyone... hope to see you on here more :)

WOW - I haven't posted since JUNE? Sorry... :o/

Well, since June... HELLO - we are alive!

Little Man Hank has starting walking, or rather, running. He is all over the place and fast!! Leave the baby gate open just once and he will be half way up the stairs. Hank started this walking bit in the early part of 9 months in July, and by the end of his 9 months he was CRUISIN'.

He also since then has had small fevers and runny noses... all part of his 6, soon to be 8 teeth. CHOMPERS!! Speaking of those teeth, he can eat just about anything you give him now, and a lot of what you don't give him. :o)

Tyler started back to school on August 24th. So far so good. He is busy working Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Busy with Hank Monday - Thursday, and has class when I get home on Monday - Thursday nights. He is loving his high level Biology class and his Algebra, which he is doing excellent in.

Meanwhile we are busy trying to make extra money to pay for Tyler's classes until he is accepted into the Nursing Program. We have built a side business doing Photography Fine Art, and Family Portraits (also announcements and invitations). You can view some of our work at:

If you know any big-wigs... well, pass this along.

Well, we are putting our nose to the grindstone, keeping busy and trying to stay out of mischief, even though at times... well, see below...

Hank with the goat... it was a love - hate relationship

Mama trying to run as fast as Hank... he's wearin' me down!

Hank loved being on the firetruck!!
