November happenings

 Cute squirrel cuddled up in our tree, nope!  Dead squirrel, had a 11 yr old remove it for me.

 I found this special note left for me on the fridge

Dreaming of an actual mudroom to contain this mess. 

 My kids are banned from full size yogurts.  They never finish them.  Used 5 half eaten yogurts in a smoothie. 

 I am adding these slippers from Target to my Christmas list.  size 10 please

 Laundry folding is my nemesis

 Half-naked kiddos, applying deodorant.

 Emily is a bracelet making fool.

 Leaves, just fall already.  Raked three times, these slow pokes are gonna be hanging out on my lawn come Spring.

Emily also enjoyed trying on boots at Target, she wanted pictures of all of them. 

SEMA show

A couple weeks ago three years of hard work and sacrifice culminated at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.  I made an appearance for 2 days.  I couldn't let this opportunity pass to see the car, Robert speak and work. 

 Me sitting in the car complete with my racing harness, see the pretty roll cage?

 A blurry picture of Robert presenting at the YEN business competition.  That guy behind him had just introduced him, he was the MC, and apparently famous in the trucks and drifting worlds.

 I took this picture for Dallas.

 Robert working, he worked the entire time, 7:00 am - 9:00 pm.  Here he was interviewing the guy that restored the original license plate, Restore-A-Tag works magic. 

 This was the only famous person I knew, or cared about (besides Rob). 

 These guys are like family now.  The Florida group, Muscle Car Express and Street Metal Concepts.
Only missing guy was Jeff Allison from Allison Customs in New Mexico.

While Rob was gone.

 Dallas and the kids were sick.  He gets major fevers, it's just his body's way.  He finally succumbed and had a little nap.  Em and D rebounded, Noelle ended up at the Dr, with an ear infection.

 Halloween was fun.  Two mermaids and Beau Duke

 Noelle and I dropped in on Dallas preschool Halloween Party

 Aunt Lynne joined us for a spooky $3 burrito at Chipotle and then trick or treating! 

 We found Christmas music on the radio

Fun mom appeared and we had ice cream for dinner

 We watched the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, after the holiday

 We had Saturday morning cuddles

 Drove home from Osky and cousin Drew's baptism.  Girls were still sick and passed out right away.  Dallas was not sick, got hot and stripped down... He also got to watch Mater Tales all by himself.

Noelle got new pj's.  They glow in the dark.
