Our puppy

Sleepy baby.

After her haircut.

Before her haircut. We actually think she is cuter all scruffy.

We can't help but baby talk every time we see our puppy.

Mailey loves to sleep on feet.

I really want to post a video of Mailey playing in the snow. She is so funny, she snorts the snow up her nose and then bounds around sneezing like crazy.The snow is so cold on her paws that she hops like two feet for every step. She really is a funny little pup.

Final product after Ryan and I moved around all the cluster of bulbs.

The girls were trying to put all the matching bulbs as close together as they could. They succeeded.

Arayah kept taking the bulbs off as fast as we could put them on.

Bella being a great helper.

Yay, Ryan sold a gun. Which means we had Christmas money for the girls. We got up at 3:00a.m. and were in line at Walmart by 3:45a.m.. The crowds were surprisingly nice and the girls were in great moods all day. The only incident all day was that at one point I bent down by a large shelf of Dora p.j.'s that were on sale and so many people crowded around me I couldn't get up. I was stuck there for about 10 minutes while Ryan called me twice to try and find me I couldn't get my hand to my pocket. I finally realized I was going to be there for awhile and started listening to which sizes people were looking for when I found one I would hand it up. Some women were very thankful. Occasionally I would say if anyone wants to look down here I am done I could leave. Finally I had to just push my way out. We quit early because my mom was sick. We went home around 3:30p.m. started a fire and watched Christmas movies while drinking hot chocolate. We did really good we got all three of the girls Christmas shopping done and came in under budget.

Thanksgiving is comming up and while that is a good thing it also means that the day after Thanksgiving shopping marathon is also soon upon us. Yes, it's crazy, crowded, there are plenty of bad drivers to go around and did I mention it's CRAZY. For some reason though we love it. We totally get a rush out of it . Something about the being up at 5:00a.m , starving all day because you don't have time to stop and eat and shopping until well past mid-night that evening, it just sucks us in. The funny thing is we don't spend very much money and we do get almost all our Christmas shopping done on that day. Taneisha's mom always goes with us too. However , if we don't get paid before Thursday there will be no day after fun for us, we will have to cut wood instead. Oh well Thanksgiving is at the Tilton's this year which is the first time in like 10 years that Travis and Tom have both had it off so it should be fun.

Cute

Victoria and Isabella in there bedroom before going to a dog class. Victoria says, " Bella if you hit me at dog class again like you did last time I am just going to be nice to you". Silence......"Because Jesus tells us to be kind and to love everyone even when people hurt us or are our enemies." another pause...... " You are not my enemy though Belle, I just love you even when you hurt me I am never never never never never going to hurt you."........ " Well today."

The funny thing is we had no idea that Bella had even hit Victoria at dog class last week.

Random Hathaway News.

Arayah is really sick and we have no idea what she has. :-( Which means Taneisha is getting no and I mean no sleep.

The more you try to go green the more you realize you have a long way to go!

We put our Christmas tree up last Sunday. Yes, you read it right we are convinced the season is way too short and we were not sure when we would have time again to put it up. We are already renting Christmas movies and randomly saying," it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas".

By the way Taneisha wants to know if everyone wants to bring two different kinds of cookies to the next bible study and we can have a cookie party?

We are desperately trying to get the addition done by Christmas but every week that slips by it is becoming more and more clear that that probably won't happen. We just don't have enough Saturdays.

We are praying for a flood of steady clients so that I only have to work one job and so we can go back to making better money( thanks for the prayers Timothy).

Speaking of Timothy we really haven't seen the Tuckers nearly enough lately .Hmmm again with the time thing.

Taneisha wants to know if Rebekah got her nose rings?

7 of my Mom's, all of my Brother's and all of my kids out to dinner.

What else can I say but CUTENESS!
