GO BEAVERS!!!!!!!!!!!

thanksgiving...

we had a wonderful thanksgiving.  we split the day between both families.  we ate, chatted, and played lots of wii.  here's a few priceless images :)

i was the boxing champ...it came down to me and casey, the only 2 that hadn't lost a match :) i knocked him out in the 2nd round.

horner family rock band...HILARIOUS

Daddy would be so proud...

this afternoon Ruby grabbed the channel changer and decided she wanted to turn the tv on.  I got it all on camera...she was super determined to figure it out.  She turned it on and changed it to LA Ink...Casey will be so proud when he sees these.  She has an appreciation for tats too .

'Tis the Season...

We got in the spirit a little early this year.  I usually put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving but I was so excited for it this year since Ruby could help I decided not too wait.  Plus we have a busy Thanksgiving weekend.

Our "mantel"

Ruby helping put the ribbon on
so proud of her decorating skills
Kinda hard to appreciate the beauty.  We decided to go with black and gold decorations
Pre ribbon....ribbon always makes it look complete :)

Almost complete...

We finally have an almost "put together" kitchen.  The last thing needed is our fridge.  We just got our new stove and dishwasher...funny thing is I was so excited for the new stove, but I've only used it twice now (we've had them for a week and a half...what?!)

Freshly painted cabinets and counter tops...I love bold color.  Can you tell?
Before...minus the paint samples.  I had a really hard time deciding on just the right color
The walls were not always this color I had just painted them...they were previously a buttery white color

i'm not scared...

So many of you know that I LOVE change, especially change that involves my hair.  I've been trying to grow it out but it just takes forever so....I got extensions.  It's pretty fun/weird...

i've never been so excited for an election day ever!  change is exciting and good :) maybe i should cancel dance a throw a party.

Sometimes I forget how wonderful my husband is.  Thanks Casey for being so great:)  Thanks for all the support and love.  Maybe we can have another "get away" weekend soon! 

Halloween...Ruby was a little Penguin, waddle and all. She loved her costume and had so much fun showing it off. I can't believe the difference between last year and this year...time flies.


Halloween 07

Look at her excitement!

So serious
