It's fire time

We've had some cold weather here the last few days. It was only 62 in the house this morning! Dad and George decided it was time for a fire :)

The kitty thought it was a great idea!

Happy Birthday Jamie!

Yesterday was Jamie's birthday :)
Her baby belly is really showing now!

Jamie, Galen, and our Grandma came over for dinner. We watched the debates during dinner then had some yummy carrot cake. Jamie's been having a hard time sleeping, go read her blog it's funny! So George and I got her Sleepy Beauty on DVD hahaha it was funny.

More pretty flowers

The rain is starting to take a toll on my dahlias. I've had to cut the tall ones back or the rain and wind breaks the stocks.

Before and After

So George decided not to shave between Army last month. I'm not a fan of the facial hair, but I unwillingly put up with it until his next drill. Here are the before/after, aka hairy/not hairy...

Discovering our local parks

So I've been walking at Lewisville Park three days a week. I looked up the park info to see how long the trail we've been walking is, about 1/2mile. We've been walking it four times so 2miles a day...seems longer than that!
On the parks/rec website there is of course a list of all the other local parks. I was suprised at the list of parks that have been developed in the last two years. And there's a huge one under construction just down the road from us!
