Love It!

My favorite Thanksgiving moment!!

Shelby sure enjoyed Grandpa:)

Winner, Winner, Turkey Dinner!

"No one guessed exact."

I weigh 12 pounds even!!!

Auntie Jamie won the closest guess. She wins a $25 gift certificate to help her thighs get as plump as mine:)

Thanks to all that played.

Happy Thanksgiving!

From: The Dirks' newest butterball turkey:)

Guess if you can!

I got this idea from a friend's blog and loved it so much I had to do it too! Tyson is now 6 weeks and is growing too fast. It's funny to think that the doctor kept telling me he'd be 7 and a half pounds and came out a whole pound more:) I put him on the scale tonight to see what he weighs and was amazed. He's not 8 pounds 9.8 ounces anymore. So, I'm going to give you a chance to win a prize if you can guess his weight now. Look carefully at all his rolls and guess:)

I know my scales isn't as accurate as the doctor's scale, but it's close enough for me. When commenting, know that my scale measures in .2 increments- such as 20.4. Good Luck! Winner selected on Thursday Morning!!

Memories

Here are some pictures we just got saved from a crashed computer. Yeah!!!

Keilie 18 Months
Caden 3 years!

Man, the time is going too fast!!

Plain to see!

Isn't it obvious that this is the best place for cereal?

What doesn't belong?

"What's in that closet?" you may ask!

It's this girl...

Hiding.

Why?

Which binkie doesn't belong?

It's Happening:)

We can now officially say that Brennon is walking when he chooses. If it's his idea, he loves it. If you bribe him with candy or a toy, he chooses to walk. If he knows you really want him to walk to you, he doesn't choose to! He's walking along the walls more now, and can right himself when he starts to stumble. I love this new development. It makes me happy. I hope to have him walking exclusively by Christmas. He'd then be 22 months! Oh, and listen for his cute sound when I ask him to smile at the end. He ALWAYS does this when asked to smile:)

HAPPINESS

Surprise!!

A present from Medtronic. Man, I love this company! The cool thing is that the blue elephant matches his bedding PERFECTLY. We now joke that they have hidden cameras in our house:) I love that the ear has his name and birthdate. This is just so awesome!

Haircut

Who needs a haircut more? It's a toss up:)

My Girl

"My Girl" and I were watching "My Girl" on Netflix last night. When it came to that sad part in the funeral home, I hear SOBBING. I look over at this cutie and see her in tears beyond her control. I ask her what the matter was- since she'd come home from school with a headache- and all she can do is point at the computer. I was so shocked. We've watched countless chick flicks and she's never shown that much emotion. I can see many more bonding moments in the future. Man, I'm lucky! I love my cute little girl that's growing up so fast.
