Catch up

Ohhhh it has been so long since my last blog...........well lets see here it goes

Portland- we made a family trip out to Portland to spend time with family.....Dylan got to play with his cousin Avery and we got to catch up with the rest of the family....Portland is really quite green and beautiful and so many great things for kids to do.....it is a great place to have family....so many fun things to do during a family visit....

Halloween- we made it home from Portland the day before Halloween....Halloween was also thoroughly enjoyed and spent with more family from California...Grandpa and Grandma Hill made it out for a quick visit.....I had just enough time to make caramel apples and chili and opened the house on Halloween to friends, family and neighbors.....it was a very relaxed and enjoyable time for all...........Dylan was suppose to be a pirate but never quite made it into his costume with all the fun and excitement thru out the house

Winston- ughhhh Winston we think has a bladder infection...he has been on antibiotics for 4 days now........not much help we are headed to CSU tomorrow so that he can see a REAL doctor...I hate our local vets...........truly I do..........

business- swamped a good thing

our home- we love it..........more and more everyday...the garage doors will be on soon...the back splash is done in the kitchen and I found out that we have more storage in our attic.......yeah.....that means we can actually move most of the stuff in the indoor outdoor room to the attic and start enjoying our extra room and sauna...........

Christmas- can't wait to start decorating...ok ok...since we are not having Thanksgiving at home I started pulling out interior decor last night...........I am so excited.....not sure why I am so excited since we are going to be keeping the spending to a minimum this year....I just am...I love the baking...the cooking...the decorating...the music....the wrapping...I just love Christmas....I think Dylan has taken after his dear ole mother when it comes to Christmas...whenever we go to Lowes he always runs to the decoration area and loves looking at all the giant decorations.....

Thanksgiving- we will be headed to my mom's in South Dakota a couple of days before Thanksgiving and enjoy some much needed family time and turkey with Grandma and Grandpa Davis....Collin is actually working on Thanksgiving so we will come home the day before....I still think I am going to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving....well really not for Thanksgiving but for later in the week...........they are so affordable it is kind of crazy not to...this year I am hoping to brine the turkey before hand.........a good friend of ours had us over for Turkey this summer and it was the best turkey that I have ever had....so I am going to try using their same techniques....

Dylan- thru his mothers eyes...I see nothing but absolute perfection....he truly is such a joy of a child...this last couple of weeks things have just started really clicking for him and he is picking up quite a few words and has perfected the leap from the ottoman to the couch in one big jump....the last couple of days he has been eating up a storm....and is doing very well with his plate and his spoon and fork.........he loves running and playing with other kids and we find ourselves going to a couple of children play area's quite often so that he can play with other kids.....

well its time for me to get my game face on......meeting with another new client this afternoon for building............keep your fingers crossed...........but really its all skill :)
until next time
