It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas

It really is beginning to look alot like christmas...inside and out.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy my winter wonderland.

A 13 Hour Car Ride and David Cook

Hello Lovely Bloggers!
Once again it's been a little while since I last blogged but I'm making up for that now!
This past weekend my family and I took the thirteen hour trip to Phoenix, Arizona for a chiropractic seminar. Trust me that's a very long time in a car, especially when there are three people in the backseat. The thing that my family always does when we go on road trips is listen to music. I mean we blast it and sing along! =) We had recently bought the premier David Cook cd because we had taken a liking to him when he was on American Idol. I have to say that his cd is pretty fantastic. I love it! His cd and many others definitely makes the ride go easier. We got funny looks when we would walk into a gas station and be singing out loud. HAHA such things as "I'm not gonna come down, down off of these clouds. Heros come and go but you're still standing. You teach me to rise up, to open my eyes up!" Song two off the David Cook cd. =)
Anyways when we finally made it to our destination it was already pretty late so we just got to the hotel room and crashed so that we would be ready for an early start the next day. The seminar was on Saturday from 8-5 and then on Sunday from 8-3. I have to say it was a really good seminar. We learned alot and it will hopefully give our clinic the explosion it needs. Keep praying for that please!
Phoenix has some interesting scenery and me, being camera obsessed as I am, definitely took some pictures. Here are some for you now!

The sun was doing really cool things to Jerusha's hair.

A pretty sunset!

Jerusha and I enjoyed the pool!!

Dad being a goof. haha



Those cacti are crazy.

We also got to stop at some relatives home and spend an evening with them! They had this gorgeous cat and he of course got to be photographed!!

Well that pretty much sums it up!! We're back now and I'm getting excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow!!

What are all of your plans to celebrate??

On This Cold Morning....

Ok ok I know I've been really bad about blogging lately. I'm sorry about that. The sad thing is i don't even really have an excuse.
So my blogs are probably looking a little bi-polar. I have one about snow and then I'm complaining it's too hot and this one is about a cold morning. =) The weather here is crazy.
This morning it is only 25 degrees. It's not snowing but the sky gets this look strange color when it looks like it might snow. It looks kind of white and almost lights up the world even though it's still dark outside. Kind of like this...

Well on a cold morning like this I didn't really feel like having cereal with ice cold milk. Brrr! Instead I'm making myself a wonderfully warm bowl of oatmeal!! Yum!
How are all of you today? What's your weather like? Have a fabulous morning and day everyone!

It's Hot

It is seriously 75 degrees here today. Um I believe it's the middle of November...let me check my calendar..yup, it is. What happened to our lovely cool weather? I miss it. Please come back.

Snow

It's finally here. This morning my dad came into my room while I was still in bed and said, "Look out your window." I walked over to my window and looked out to see a winter wonderland. I'm not quite sure if I'm ready for snow yet, but there is something so beautiful about it. Don't you think?

Isn't it lovely?

Hope all of you have a fantastic Friday and a fabulous weekend!

XOXO

Birthday Girl

It is Miss Ashlei's birthday today! You all should go tell her happy birthday!

Love you honey!! I hope you have a great day. Happy 19th!!

Picture Time

On Saturday Jerusha and I went for a little walk. This is a walk we often take actually. There's a bike path that follows this river or creek or whatever you want to call it, and it's really pretty. Even though we often follow this path we always seem to find something new and different. I took my camera with me and since it's been a little while since I've posted lots of pictures i thought I would do that for you now.
The pictures might be a little random just because we saw some kind of weird things. =)
It was beautiful out though and I started with this picture!
I always manage to get Jerusha in at least one picture. =)

I was actually rather thrilled with this picture. I thought it came out really cool.

We have some pretty cool bridges around our house and they make for great picture opportunities.

Ok this is reallt random, but while we were walking, Jerusha and I, saw this building that we had never ever seen before which was weird because we don't know how we missed it. Anyways we had to cross the river to get to it which was actually a little treacherous, but oh well. So this buidling seems to have been the victim of a fire and everything was a little creepy. Kind of like something out of a horror film you know? Jerusha and I kind of felt like we shouldn't be there but at the same time there were no fences or anything keeping you away.

There were even burnt fire hoses and a fireman's uniform that looked like it had been scorched.

Then we saw this painting on the side of a building and it was a memorial to firemen who had died in the fire. Ok how sad is that? The picture isn't very good because it was kinf of from a distance.

The creepiest thing though was this doll we found outside the building. It was getting dark too so I think that made worse.

As you can see it's all burned and melted. How sad.

Jerusha and I really want to find out what happened and why we had never heard anything about it. It seemed pretty recent too. It's a mystery to us.






Moving on....the walk was ended with another beautiful sight!
