The Evil Faces...




Can you say creepy?

Spaghetti + Lauren = Silly

Apparently spaghetti and Lauren get along great! This is the one meal that I KNOW she will eat all of...NO MATTER WHAT. I've been buying the frozen Kid Cuisine meals the last few times I've been grocery shopping, just for nights when Travis and I aren't really hungry and don't feel like cooking, because we can just pop one in the microwave for Lauren and we're set. She especially enjoys the fish sticks meal, the fried mozzarella meal, and of course the SPAGHETTI meal. Here are a few pic's of our silly girl.



And here's when she decided to drink the "juice" from her corn out of the dinner tray...what a NUT!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving this year thanks to Trisha and the Halverson girls and Nana. We had the BEST turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, noodles, ham, green bean casserole (you're my hero Lindsey) and 9 pies! This year we ate at Torrie Jo's house in Eltopia since she officially has the biggest kitchen out of everyone. The kids mostly played on the Wii and Lauren chased Nana around all afternoon.

This year I am thankful for:
* My health and the health of my husband and baby girl (even though we have had a rough year of colds and sniffles...gotta love daycare)
* My marriage...we all know it was a rough year on us and I FINALLY feel like we are on track and WILL make it
* My parents...for being the BEST parents and more importantly the BEST grandparents a little girl could ask for
* Travis' family for being so supportive of us and helping us out in so many ways
* Pam and Steve for allowing us to come and visit them in South Carolina when I desperately needed to get away from the stuff going on here

And most importantly, I am thankful that I am alive and able to wake up each day with my husband and our darling little Lauren. "We may not have it together, but together we have it ALL".
