Our little Al Bundy

This is at a friends birthday party.

Friends

I started watching a four year old boy named Noah on Thursdays. Autry and he had a lot of fun today.

Ready to play catch

Autry's new dodger hat

Autry finally got his dodger hat, after asking for it almost every day.
In fact one morning he woke up and saw Randy's dodger hat and got all excited saying, "Dada bought Autry new dodger hat." It was very sad to have to tell him that he didn't have a new dodger hat.
Well, he finally has one, and you can tell from the pictures he is more then excited.

This weeks menu

I took this idea from Elisabeth, but its a great idea for me because I figure out my menu and then I loose it by mid week. So I am posting it on the blog.
Wednesday-Lemon Gnochii with spinach and peas
Thursday-Carnitas
Friday- Farfelle with turkey sausage, peas, and mushrooms
Saturday- quesadillas or whatever Randy decided to cook (I'll be at work)
Sunday- Pizza
Monday-Cowboy Christmas Breakfast
Tuesday- Tacos

Finished project

Autry's first art project

Autry's shows off his artistic versatility in his first art project by using paints, pens, and crayons. The entire time he was painting he kept saying, "Paint mamma toopu" toopu we are assuming means picture.

This doesn't have anything to do with the family...I just thought it was funny

Sweet Clarabelle

Maybe the next baby will look like me...

A new Baby

Its official, I am pregnant again. The new baby will be 16 months younger then Claire. I am feeling a little weird about the whole thing. I am not so worried about having another baby, because I know that children are a blessing from God, and we are excited to have another child. However, the thought of pregnancy is whats scaring me a little bit. I am praying that I won't be as sick this pregnancy as I have been in the past. I feel like I use all my energy already taking care of Claire and Autry, so these next few months are going to be a little tough, because I get so incredibly tired during the first trimester. This next nine months is going to be a good time to be reminded of my complete inability to do anything without God. Every day I am going to need to rely on him for strength and energy...but that isn't what I should be doing every day anyway. :)

Autry's birthday

Potter Valley

We went to Potter Valley California to visit Emilie's sister and her new husband ( that's him on the 4 wheeler with Emilie) and his family.
It was a lot of fun being out (way out) in the country but we're happy to be home. The bridge we walked across was about 100feet up in the air; Autry was very brave!

Christmas (little late)
