One More Story

A few more stories as we end the year on a fun note.

Coming home for lunch

and the drive way has a VW Van that hasn't 

visited before.

Ruston & Ryder trying to solve another problem at work.

Good morning!!

and pop, sizzle, and a little smoke.

It's dead!!

It's been awhile since I bought one.

Lucky me found a perfect replacement.

VW car show

and Brunch at Liberty Cafe.

Fun time hanging out with extended family.

Grinch Bananas

Dave's name for who I like my bananas.

I need Reganne back home to eat my ripe ones.

Girl Time

at the movies watching Wicked sequal 

Why does it have to be so long?

Dave & Ryder

took a road trip and found cheaper gas.

It only lasted the month. It was great while it lasted.

Flowering Plant

I have been trying to rescue this plant the past couple of months.

Moving it into the bathroom during Christmas it was able to bloom.

Being in the bathroom in direct sunshine also brought with it bugs!!

I know have my work cut out in getting rid of them in my jetted tub.

Was it worth it?

Being a Sunbeam teacher

is the best. Ox brought me chocolates.

Christmas tree tear down

at BON.

The Buddy the Elf tree had ornaments filled with mini mms.

I have enough for my popcorn.

Happy New Years

Piper snuggled down when the fireworks 

started popping off.

It kept up and she headed off to bed under Ryder's bed.

Here's to 2026!! Bring it on!!

Merry Christmas

This years celebrating will be different with everyone having different schedules. We need to be flexible and have as much fun as possible.

Family dinner

 Buffalo Wild Wings

Everyone has their favorites.

This left time to joke, tease, and even a few laughs.

Christmas Survey what is your favorite treat?

Rylee - Muddie Buddies

Reganne - Pretzel Rolo's

Never made before but cool to try.

Mine - Sugar Cookies

Ryder - Snickerbars

I tried a swap of maple syrup for the

corn syrup.

Huge fail!!

Sometime trying to be healthier just doesn't work.

All hands on deck for

Christsmas Eve Dinner

We are excited to have Ruston's family with us.

Reganne's yummy, cheesy mac & cheese.

Christmas morning came a little to early for some of us.

Fun to watch the gifts for each other.

They are so creative.

Rylee & Ruston 

gifted Ryder with a scratch off map.

He can keep track of all his trips.

One down

Sister helping sister

Cute lizzard earrings.

Family breakfast

Time for a nap!

Miss Indy plopped down in her Christmas dress.

Clean up

Piper is demanding to go for a run in the desert.

Rylee even made custom

wrapping paper.

Who could throw this away?

Christmas rolls for lunch.

It was a great week spending time as a family. We will take every second, minute, hour, or days they are able to spend with each other. We also hope that everyone had a great Christmas as well.

Spreading Christmas Cheer

What better way to do that than more decorations. Lights to be exhact! We headed over to Rylee & Ruston's to surprise them. 

Ryder came along

to help.

Surprise blown!!

Rylee came out to supervise.

Plus tell Dave he shouldn't be on the ladder.

The lights need to be untangled.

Which supervisor will take the job?

None! 

I stepped in to get it done.

Dave once again 

climbed the ladder to finish the job.

He has amazing balance and finished quickly.

Looks great!!

We did a little driveby to check it out.

The Grinch!!

He is back in his spot glaring at anyone who

walks by.

Christmas spirit is in full swing at out house. It was fun surprising our kids.

Ranger doing his best to 

hold still.

Look what Reganne found.

Catching a nap.

Having a van to stretch out in 

is the best.

Ruston is amazing

a new hobby making jewelry.

Encouraging Ryder to try

as well.

I do believe the

the dogs wore him out.

It's going to be a fun month. Bring it on!!
