Just 'cause ya'll like to see pics of the little tyke I thought I'd throw in a pic for ya'! This is her helping us on moving day!

busy, busy, busy

This has been a jam packed week! Here are a few pics (oddly, they're in the reverse order of how I put them in to upload, but you'll still get the idea!). Jeremy was discharged on the 4th and drove up from Oklahoma, our furniture arrived the morning of the 5th, and our friends Liz and Lynn came down with my parents to help us unpack. That evening my parents threw a surprise party for Jeremy at the new house~can you say chaotic?!?!

Our two Army veterans

The surprise party

Lynn stomping paper down in unpacked boxes

And, last, but certainly not least, Robert's birthday was this week too!!!!

house and Kyra pics

Last weekend some of my family volunteered to come over to our house to help us get a few things done. They put a few more outlets in the garage, hung a light fixture and curtains in the dining room, mounted the new tv on the wall, cut the grass, and a bunch of other stuff! It's so nice to live so close to family!!!!

Me and my aunt Tina trying to tell the guys where to put the tv

Grandpa, Robert, and uncle Dale hanging the TV

Kyra just being cute and supporting our Broncos, no matter how poorly they're playing!

We got Kyra this "Bumbo" seat, and while it doesn't look like she's enjoying it in this picture, she really does love sitting in it and checking everything out!

a few pics

Here she is with her baby and her new quilt from her great Aunt Tina

Again with the baby and a new quilt from Carol H.

And for Halloween....what else would she be but a Lil' Gherkin?!?!?
(my mom made the costume 'cause I really hate to sew)

I'll post some pics of the house soon...I've been busy painting and getting the house ready for our furniture to arrive (sometime next week if all goes according to plan)

cute socks!

We've made it to Colorado. We closed on the house on Friday, but Kyra and I are staying with my folks until the furniture arrives. In the meantime, Jeremy's back in Oklahoma to do his out processing and will join us up here on November 5th.

Aren't the socks Kyra's wearing just too cute??? My aunt Pam (Kyra's great aunt) sent them to us and I just think they're adorable! Thanks aunt Pam!

changed my mind

In the post below you'll read that one of the things I'm going to miss about living here is being surrounded by fields. I think I'm going to take that back! I'm doing laundry today so I can pack clean clothes. I just got the first load washed and moved to the dryer when I found a dead mouse in the bottom of the washer. YUCK! I'm now re-washing that load of laundry!

I don't think the mouse was in the washer when I started it, I think the cat killed the mouse and left it in our dirty clothes for us! Either way, I'll be glad when we're living somewhere where we won't have so many unwanted "critters" in the house!
