No news is good news

So, now that it's only been 4 months since the last entry, I guess I should really try to play catch up!

Here's the update on the Holdaway's:

Luke: We like to call this boy either Monkey or Tasmanian Devil depending on if he is climbing up a tree or tearing something completely apart. I tell ya, no one prepared me for what a little boy can do! How lucky are we to have a boy who is so very interested in anything and everything he can get his hands on!

Rylee: Princess Rylee just finished her first year in Ballet and LOVED it! She is currently finding new ways to make Luke scream like a girl, implementing a dress into every scenario, or getting into moms makeup and applying mascara to Luke, her care bear, Luke's teddy bear and all of her dolls. She is my girlie girl!

Me: Not much here. No....really. Besides my daily vengeance I have with the weeds, I am just trying to keep up with the kiddos and hope they don't get too sick of me before nap time...Oh, but I did try the new glitter toes! It's a love-hate relationship...

Scott: Scott is now part of the family business at AAA Spring. His office mostly consists of the open road travelling to visit clients and such (for those who know him, this is a great perk of his job for him - he loves the travel)! It's nice to know that he has a somewhat predictble work schedule instead of standing out in the rain all day at the Usana ampitheatre...so says me!

Oh, and we took the kids on their first camping trip! Here are some pics to prove it!

W stands for Winter

So, I'm sitting here eating my tortilla chips and am thinking, "you know what would go really good with these chips? A beer and something from the Barbecue." Then I remember that A) I'm not the partying beer drinker that you all just pictured me as and B) It's frickin' freezing outside and there's no way in H-E-double hockey sticks I'm standing outside to BBQ!
Oh, how I miss the warm weather. The sound of my flip flops on the cement as I go outside to bask in the heat, actually wanting ice in my drink, the kids spraying me with water as the inflatable pool fills up, and actually needing to roll down my window while I drive.
Seriously though, the tips of my fingers are coldly drumming away on the keyboard as I type and I can't wait to stop typing so I can get them warm again. I know we don't have it as bad as, say, the midwest, but man oh man, I think I've hit the winter blues!
Till next time...keep the toes warm!

Turkey Day, and then some

So, Thanksgiving has passed and I think I may be able to squeeze back into a pair of my jeans, but the Christmas goodies may have a tight hold on that one too. We'll see. Not a whole lot to report right now. We're just feelin' the Christmas vibe and trying to get all the shopping done before it's actually the 25th! Rylee helped me wrap a present to daddy today and she was all gung ho that he needs to unwrap it right now! I'm just worried that she will tell him what it is before he even gets to see it! Ah, the little innocent minds!
Until next time, Merry Christmas and all that stuff...

Halloween Extravaganza 2008

And...I present to you Halloweenapalooza 2008:

Isn't he the cutest thing ever?!

My big, bouncing nephew has finally arrived! Well...it's been a couple weeks now. He was born on Oct. 6, weighing in at a whopping 9 lbs. 1 oz. (bless Sara's heart)!!

My brother and sister-in-law couldn't be happier - and more exhausted...Warren is just the cutest thing though. He's got a full head of black hair and has already made friends with his older "brother" cuervo (Jeff and Sara's dog). Anyway, just wanted to post a couple pics because he's so dang cute!

So I'm happy...it's Fall!

My absolute, without a doubt favorite time of the year has officially arrived! Let's say it together, "Ahhh...Fall!"

Since we only have a few more weeks to go look at the leaves in the mountains change into their beautiful colors, Scott and I decided to pack up the family and had to the mountains today and enjoy the scenery...
