Buildin' and Grillin'

Our deck needed to be repaired on October 15th Chris and Greg went to work. They took down the railing and all the decking.  Then put the new boards up it looks a ton nicer, more safe, and splinter free!

 

During the project someone forgot to close the bathroom door so Alana- the destroyer of toilet paper made her move. 

The board wasn't 8 feet like it said so back to the hardware store.

 AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! The men loved building the deck so they decided to build a grill too! Then we all had steaks to celebrate the successful day.

Naps and Volleyball

Alana doesn't always like to like take a nap and so sometimes later in the day when we have snacks she falls asleep. She reminds me of my Dad when he would fall asleep at the table after a hard days work.

 Chris coaches the boys volleyball team at Thomas Jefferson Junior High.  We went down and watched on of the games.

Alana and the faces of Chris

I have this cute dress from when I was this little and I have wanted to have Alana's picture taken it it for some time well we had it on her but she really wasn't cooperating so we will have to try again to get her picture taken but while I was trying to get it done Chris was taking goofy pictures of himself so it was a productive photo shoot!

Ryker AKA Spiderman

Ryker is a big boy and doesn't use diapers anymore. To celebrate 2 days of no accidents he earned a Spider-Man pillow and for a whole week of no accidents he earned a Spider-Man blanket.  He has been obsessed with Spider-Man and spinning his webs.  He can almost sing the whole theme song and lets me sing it every time we watch an episode on Netflix and at other random times of the day.  We love that he is out of diapers but I think we are make-up the cost in toilet paper and hand soap.

USU Homecoming Game

We all headed up to Logan for the USU homecoming game against Colorado State.  We had fun cheering on the Aggies and the weather was great.  We were doing well but lost in double overtime 34-35.

Alana Banana

Alana loves bananas here is a pic of her chopping down on one.  She has such pretty blue eyes!
