Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas!!

Candi and Brian made it from California on Wed. night. Then they got snowed in with mom and dad for a few days. I'm sure they are wondering why they left California for this weather.

Happy Halloween 2009!!

Happy Halloween!!

Ryan wanted to carve a pumpkin so we made our best attempt.

Here's the finished pumpkin. Ashley did the eyes, Jacob the nose and Ryan the mouth.

On Friday Ryan's class had a halloween party. Here's his teacher Mrs. Utesch showing him some wrestling moves. She was dressed as a MMC Wrestler.

Here's the 2nd grade class.

Here's Ryan and the only other boy in his class!! The rest are all girls!

Here's our Bob the Builder. If his eyebrows look kind of wierd it's because he had the hat on so tight it was pressing down his forehead. I got the biggest laugh out of that! It makes him look like he's frowning or something.

Here's Tony Romo - the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.

The Boys

Ashley decided last minute (as the boys were buckling up in the van) to dress up so that's why I have no pics of her. She dresses as a working woman / FBI agent.

Texas

Last Thurs - Sunday, Ryan, Jacob, Daddy and I went to Texas for his show pigs show/sale at Plainview. He did really well. Grand Champion Cross Gilt and Reserve over all. Most all of the 50 pigs he brought down were sold before we got there so he didn't have to worry about hog chores on the trailer anymore. It's a long trip to Texas!!

We got to meet baby Coy. Congratulations Jason & Jaytha, he is so precious.

Here's daddy's BIG helper. Ryan helped Mark all day Saturday and Sunday.

You have to be really careful when you walk by our pens when Jake has the show stick...

Relaxin at the hotel.
