It's been a while!

Well, I haven't been able to update this blog in a while, but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy!!
I cannot believe it's already the end of Novemeber... Christmas is right around the corner! Wow!
We celebrated Thanksgiving on the 17th with my mom and Wally. The cousins had a fun time getting together! Colin brought over "Guitar Hero" and the kids had a clast with that. Samantha is a natural!
Will gave Colby a mohawk just for the occassion (with gel). What handsome boys!


Here are some animals pics.
This is my cat Destiny. She is the most beautiful cat ever! I miss her being around, but she is very happy at my mom's house.
And if you look closely in Sam's hands, you will see the newest animal in our house- Blueberry the Dwarf hamster. She is tiny! And she makes these sweet little "peeping" noises. :)
The boys are also officially now ORANGE BELTS in tae kwon do! And so we now are the proud owners of sparring gear... which of course they broke out and used on eachother. They are so excited that they have permission to punch and kick eachother!
And in basement news... it is coming along! Art has been working on the basement since he stopped working on the siding. When we moved into this house, the walls in the basement were all moldy. We tore those down, but haven't really don't much since. Also the floors flooded a lot. Art was able to fix that problem by building a trench. And now there are walls down there, and they are primed! He is so handy!! Today he is going to see about ordering tile and carpet. We might even start painting! Our goal is to have the Christmas tree down there... we'll see! Now that that is in writing we have to stick with it, right?!
Happy Monday! 29 days.....!
