The tree is down.

It is amazing to me how fast I like to put up our christmas tree. I don't think I even waited till after Thanksgiving this year. Avery help me get a new skinny tree from True Value and I was real proud of it. But usually as soon as the presents are open the tree comes down....I don't know why I do it. It's like a switch goes off, no presents no tree...but it's not just the tree, it's all the holiday decorations gone. Well this year I did do better, I waited till the 27th, when I'm super sick...and the mood came over me. Quickly the tree comes down, thanks to Ralph and Morgan's help. I just didn't have the energy, had the will but no go-go juice. So Christmas is over, and the tree is down, and my house is back to normal.

She's 17 already.

Last thursday was Avery's birthday....I tried to plan it out, make it something special for her, I think I succeeded but not sure. Dec 2nd, Avery and I took off and went to Springfield to meet Aunt Anna and Lani for a day of shopping. We had a great time, Avery got alot of cool things that she wanted and then to top it off she had a "cool" birthday cake from Dairy Queen waiting for her when we got home.

Halloween Tree

It took me several miles driving around to find the perfect dead tree. By the way there isn't such a thing, and alot of black paint, but I got a cool Halloween Display....How many people you know have a halloween tree . Next year hope to hang stuff on it, like ghosts, skeletons...if you have any ideas please leave comments.

Morgan my Cowgirl

Finals for Rand Little Britches Rodeo in Dolph, AR.
Morgan did her best time, and got 3rd place for the night and 5th place for the all around. She did a great job, and I am very proud of her and "the gray", as everyone calls him at the rodeos. Can't wait to see what they bring for next season.
