Visitors

Now that we are without our dogs we have been getting alot of visitors at our house. They like to stay behind the house but have been getting bolder and moving toward the front and in the driveway.

We still have our house up for sale. Had a few showings but no offers yet. We are still looking for new jobs in the Nisswa/Baxter/Brainerd area and are hoping to get moved down there soon!

Dress up

Lunch time! Wes didn't want Jack to be in the picture.

Wes found his old Halloween comstumes and the boys decided to try them on for some fun.

Jack got the kitty costume and was a little unsure when he saw his reflection. I thought he looked adorable! Wes donned his NASCAR uniform and had a good time also.

For some odd reason Jack has been into wearing hats. He finds them and puts them on and wears them most of the day.

Of course Wes had to join in and wear hat too, he hates when his brother 'beats' him at things. He is a very competitive kid!

In other news, I had my gallbladder taken out this past Monday. All went well but I feel like I've been punched in the stomache a few times. I'm glad it came out as it was very painful so now, hopefully, I can resume eating normal food without getting sick!

Mmmmm

I have a new food addiction....sushi!!
I love it with raw veggies in the middle! I'm not brave enough to try it with raw fish yet (known as sashimi) , maybe someday :)
Red and orange bell peppers. Normally there would be avocado and a crab stick but our small town grocery store doesn't carry these items.

Nori (seeweed)

Sticky rice coated with rice vinegar and sugar.

Yummy, I LOVE sushi!

Random picture taken New Years Eve; the sky was a beautiful shade of blue.

Brothers

They start off innocent enough...

...they look like such good boys...

...don't do it...

STOP!

Good thing Jack is big enough to hold his own. Some days I feel like I could be raising the next generation of Ultimate Fighters.

A Very Merry Christmas

Quite the artist in the making, Wes decorated this all by himself (frosting courtesy of Grandma)

Turkey Trot

Molly and her friend Rachel from running club.

Early Thanksgiving morning I had the opportunity to watch my sister run in a 5K called Turkey Trot. We headed to the Target Center at about 7am that morning - I'm am so glad that the weather was nice out!

Crazy runners dressed like turkeys. I actually saw two girls dressed like drumsticks but didn't get my camera out in time.

The goal was to 'stuff the streets'. Thousands of people packed the streets ( I've never seen so much spandex in one place before!).

There's Molly!!

Hurray! She finished with a great time. Good job Molly!
