Hanging with LiLi

So, this past weekend Justin went hunting with my dad in Plainvew for pheasant. Ian has been with my mom and dad for the week. I stayed home with London and the dogs. I did have to work Friday night, so my sweet sister stayed with London at our house.
It was perfect...she totally took care of her Friday night and Saturday while I slept.

After sleeping on Saturday morning, I gathered up our stuff and the dogs and headed to the Mound for a slumber party at LiLi's. We had a blast! Brian came over and hung Christmas lights on Lin's house. Bridget and Jim came over for pizza and the Big 12 Championship. We put London to bed and all played Cranium, boys against girls! Bet you know who won?!...the GIRLS of course.

Thanksgiving Trip Update

Ok, so I am just now getting around to updating regarding Thanksgiving. None the less, we had a great time in Plainview! We arrived at my parents house Tuesday before Thanksgiving and stayed until Sunday. Ian stayed with Grammy for the week and Justin collected him the next week while he did some pheasant hunting with my dad. One entire week without Ian. While Mommy, Daddy, and London had some good quality time together, we missed Ian terribly. He had a fabulous time going to the movies, playing outside and delivering Meals on Wheels with Grammy and Mur.

Back to Thanksgiving...my mom cooked a fabulous meal for all of us including Mur, Grandad Doug and my Aunt Nancy. Justin and Dad fried the turkey! By the way, my grandad is home and doing better everyday! Yea!!!!!

Justin did some duck and deer hunting while we were home...and did I mention he caught my car on fire???
Oh sure! He had collected some tumbleweeds under the car that he did not see. While he was driving down the highway, the car lost power then began billowing smoke from under the hood. He had to call the Fire Department of po-dunk Floydada to come put our car out...ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! There was 4 DPS troopers and a fire truck assisting Justin and my poor car! Can't you just see it now? What a fiasco!! He had to be towed back to Plainview and our car is still being repaired. Hopefully it will be returned to us later this week. I am just now to the point where I can sorta smile/chuckle about the ordeal. Thank goodness for insurance!

All that to say, yes we had a great time and yes, we are so thankful for so many things!



Our neighbor, Dr. David Wright took me, Ian, and LiLi up in his plane for a tour of Plainview aerial style.




Mom & Dad have acquired their #2 bike..."Geezer" is this Harley's name. They have stepped it up a notch & are riding in class now. Their helmets even have radios in which they can talk back a forth to each other! Notice the size of mom's seat, she can ride for miles and miles on that puppy!
What a name..."GEEZER"



Despite the runny nose, cough and goopey eyes, London did manage a few smiles while crawling in Roxy's bed.
