Happy Thanksgiving!!

We wanted to wish you all a

VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

We know we will be so busy eating turkey and watching the Cowboys play football, we probably won't have time to post again until after Thanksgiving. Here is the turkey cake we made for our bible study dinner tonight:):).

Special thanks to Reagan for letting me use your hands as the feathers:)!

Ridem' Cowboy

Lars is really enjoying riding his rocking horse!! He even knows to hold on & we didn't even teach him that:)!
You can also see here that we jumped the gun a little this year with the Christmas tree. We just couldn't wait any longer (okay, I couldn't wait)!! I am normally the one disgusted with people who don't wait till after Thanksgiving to start decorating, but for some reason this year I'm chomping at the bit! I've already finished shopping for all the kids in our family, so I'm almost done:):)!
We bought this tree last year after Christmas (bargin, I tell ya). It is replacing the 3.5 foot tree that we have used for the past 5 years since we got married. SO, you can see it's just a little bit of an upgrade to a 7.5 foot tree! The cats are REALLY enjoying hiding under it. We have already had a couple ornaments go MIA in the few hours it's been up!

Smile Jo-Jo

Have you ever seen a cuter smile? Seriously!

Pearly Whites

Lars got his 3rd tooth today!! You can see the first one really well, the second in the close up and the third you can really only feel. They are so cute, but they were each a lot of work.
Poor guy has had lots of pain, fever, and excessive drool. He will put almost anything in his mouth (including my cell phone that had to be replaced from all the drool). The 2-3 days surrounding each tooth coming in have been brutal on sleep (waking every hour to 3 hours)!!

The 1st picture below is how he feels when his tooth coming in. The 2nd is him showing it off:)

Santa's Helper

This week Lars has been testing out some new toys. For some reason I think he looks like one of Santa's elves. It could be the Candy Cane striped pajamas he's in. He is the cutest elf of course:)!!!

You can also tell he takes after his dad, with engineer tendancies. He's already trying to figure out how to take the bear apart and he's only had it for about 5 minutes!!

He got tired of working so he decided to pretend he was a polar bear!

Welcome Baby Dyer!!!

John and Amber (Hobbs) Dyer welcomed their baby boy, Benjamin Charles Dickey Dyer.
He was 8lb 5oz. In the words of his daddy, "He is simply breath-taking, especially with his cute cone head."
John and Amber are going to be great parents!!! Here are a couple pictures of them with Lars just a few weeks ago. Lars really enjoyed playing with them:):)!! Charlie (or Benjamin) you sure are lucky, buddy:). God Bless the Dyer Family! and we hope you all get lots of sleep!

Lars loves to "read"!
