Leaves??? Really?? Did it have to be leaves on the tree?

Ruined. Just Ruined.
True story - when I was in 2nd grade I got glasses. My mom remembers thisday for me vividly because after we picked them up, I told her I could seeleaves for the first time. She said it really amazed her that I couldn'tbefore and it was amazing how much I hadn't seen.

Fast forward 22 years or so and I am sitting in the living room watchingGrey's and Hahn steals my story and then RUINS it with her revelation. NowI know that many of us with poor eyesight have the same story, but now Iwill always think of stupid Erica and her gross revelation today whichbrings me to my next thought.

I have not posted this before because the internet is a place for everyoneand I do not like to post too controversial topics or anything like thatbecause I usually find it really unenjoyable when people go off politicalissues on their blogs, but after Grey's ruined my memory, I just have tosay what EVERYONE is saying about Grey's right now...........

Erica and Callie are gross. Their storyline is gross. I would ratherHahn be completely asexual for her entire stint on the show. She isrepulsive to me. I don't want to see her kiss a man or awoman..........but especially and woman and especially Callie. Icompletely CRINGE when they come on the show.

Grey's has been a favorite of mine from the beginning. I REALLY like theother story lines. Alex and Izzie are great and funny. George getting anearfull from Lexipedia last week was awesome. Meredith and Derek tryingto be a healthy couple is good and interesting. Christina was great lastnight and so is new Army Doc. Although I was totally disgusted that wehad pork chops for dinner last night.

Who is with me? What are your thoughts on Grey's right now? Why did Hahnsteal my leaves story and how many of you had the same experience?

Fall Festival

We had our church fall festival Sunday night. It was really fun. Carley had a blast, the turnout was really good, and the booths were great. Also, the Hispanic Congregation at our church made bricket burritos. They were AWESOME! Like crazy good. Also there were lots of families from the community there which made it neat too.

As always it was fun to see so many of Carley's little friends dressed up. I didn't get pictures of all the kids because Carley was done and tired of pictures, but here are a few of her buddies.

Down Memory Lane

My sister got tagged this one and I thought it was fun. You are supposed to post the 6th picture in the 6th file on your computer. Here is mine.


This is Carley at 10 weeks old. It was the first time she slept 8 hours straight.

Can you believe her hair? Wow, time totally flies. She was so tiny. Same little face I still see every morning.

I tag all of you. It is fun to see what is everyone's pictures!

Ruidosa

We went to Ruidosa with my family this weekend. It was so fun! Aside from the trip to Keller for the 4th of July, Cody and I haven't left Lubbock in over a year. It was time for a much needed vacation.

Here is my sister's blog for pictures and the run down. I have not had time to upload pictures yet.

Thanks Mom and Dad. He had such a good time!

Check it out!

My Big Girl!

Carley has been working really hard at finishing potty training. She started really being completely accident free two weeks ago. She started getting a smiley face on her chart whenever she stayed dry all day. Once she earned three, she got to go for ice cream. When she earned 4 more we went to the park.

When she earned 5 more we had made cupcakes.
And finally, after 6 more days she got to start dance class. It is a precious little class. 20 minutes of tap, 20 minutes of ballet, and 20 minutes of gymnastics. Carley loved it and was so proud of herself. I look forward to watching her grow and change on Tuesdays. :)

TV Update

It has been awhile so I thought I would do a TV thought update.

Good bye to Desperate Housewives and Heroes. Both of these shows just became too much for me to watch, too hard for me to follow, and too stupid for me to care about. I removed them from my DVR. Anyone else feel the same way? I also think I am going to take 90210 off the DVR. I am thinking about it at least. I really only like the Kelly Taylor storyline and Ethan and Annie. What do you think?

Private Practice was REALLY GOOD the first week and sad and weird the second week. It was a little too close on the family tree for me. I like the show overall this season.

Chuck was SO stinkin good last night. That show is so great. I just love it. How can you not root for Chuck Bartowsky?

The Office is hilarious every week. It might be the smartest and dumbest show on television. Brilliant.

Eli Stone starts tonight. I am excited to watch it.

I also DVRed My Own Worst Enemy with Christian Slater. I am going to watch it tonight. Did any of you watch it? What were your reviews?

Kath and Kim didn't impress me last week. It was too far out there.

What am I missing?

I do love Grey's. I probably should move this to my "Too stupid to watch" category, but I can't. It is too good. Alex and Izzie will end up being my favorite couple this season (if Alex stops with the gross girls) and Sloan and Lexie will be at the top of my list too. They just such fun characters.

Pumpkin Capital of the World and my Tag about Cody

Two Post In One
Not everyone knows that Floydada, TX is the Pumpkin Capital, but we were luck enough to visit the Pumpkin Festival today and had so much fun. My mom grew up on a farm outside of Floydada so she and my dad were all about taking Carley to the festival today. It was fun and she had a great time. A special treat was to randomly bump into the Green Family!

Also, I got tagged by Kristin to tell some of Cody's favorite things
- Cody loves being a fireman. Any and all things first response related make this guy super happy.
- Cody loves to draw and is a really good artist. Not everyone knows this about him. When you come to our house, I can show you some of his "masterpieces".
- Cody loves baseball - especially the Yankees. He is always in a firefighter t-shirt or a Yankees t-shirt when he is not at work.
- Cody loves alone time. He is a quiet guy and can spend all day just piddling around the house.
- Cody loves home improvement projects. He is really gifted at building and fixing things and could work in our shop all day.
- Cody loves guns. He loves to go to the shooting range and to hunt and stuff like that.
- Cody loves Carley. She is his little buddy and he loves it. She totally idolizes her dad and thinks he hung the moon.
- Cody loves me. :)

Fun on the Farm

Tonight some of our friends had us out to their country home for a hayride and a cook out. We had so much fun. It is neat to see Carley growing up and able to hang out with kids that are older than her. We loved the hayride on a a beautiful west Texas night.

Chatting it up with the big girls

Carley, the "must be in charge" two year old that she is (no idea where she gets it :) ) spent most of the night driving around the other girls. She laughed and laughed and thought it was so fun.
