tis' the season...

I love fall and Halloween. It is my favorite time of year. I love Halloween so much I got married a week before it and had a baby less than a week after it (not in the same year LOL). Last Halloween I was gigantic pregnant and on bed rest. It was the first year ever in my life I didn't carve a pumpkin. However, I was able to lay on the couch and watch brandon grudgingly carve the pumpkin for me!Gracelyn has a handful of festive Halloween clothing that she's been wearing lately. This one in particular is my favorite! She's cruising furniture live a champ now, and stands for a few seconds without holding onto anything. I can't believe my little mamas is almost a year old!

Miss Kitty

I found this old pic of our cat Veruca. The pic is not staged, she will knock your coke off the table for her own amusement.

a girl after my own heart.

Gracie has loved music since she was born. And now she has discovered the piano! I thought these were cute.

duck, duck, goose.

On Saturday Brandon and I took Gracie to feed
the ducks in the pond behind Pixie Playland in concord. My grandparents used to take me there regularly and I probably haven't seen it in 20 years. It was fun to go back and see if it was how I remember it, and it was.




Brandon thought the family in the right hand corner of this picture was "fearless" because of how close they got to the geese. LOL!

Papa & Gracelyn

meg's election endorsement

I haven't talked much about politics this election year which is odd for me because I usually have some very strong opinions in the matter. In the beginning I was a huge Hillary supporter. I love me some Hillary Clinton!!! However, unfortunately her time is over as Barack Obama is the Democratic candidate. I was so discouraged by this I almost turned my vote over to Mccain, but then two things happened. First, he chose that horrible women as his running mate, who stands for everything I hate. Second, I pulled my head out and remembered I am a prius driving, anti-fur wearing, gay marriage supporting, right to choosin', organic baby feeding, member of the green party since 1998. I have never voted republican and this is not the election to start. So Obama it is. And I think I'm starting to love Michelle Obama, she seems pretty hip.

dylan.... you ARE the father!!!

On 90210 they revealed Kelly's baby daddy, but not before they kept us on the edge of our seats by constantly referring to him as "he" the entire episode. Brenda finally spilled the beans while chastizing Kelly for still being in love with "him". Jesus Brenda, are you still jealous??? Brandon (knight) thought for sure the baby's daddy would be Brandon (walsh) thinking that Dylan would be "a little too on the nose" as he puts it. Brandon (knight) also figured since he didn't see Luke Perry doing any interviews pertaining to the new show and he had seen Jason Priestly talking about it that it would be Brandon (walsh). Yes, my husband is that into the new 90210. I really feel like I've come full circle. Back at my parents house with my junior high boyfriend watching 90210. We were dorks for watching it then, and we're dorks for watching it now!

sunday knight football

I've never really been a fan of any sports, in fact I think it's safe to say the only sport I can tolerate is football and that's only because when we lived in Vegas we would wake up on Sundays have pancakes for breakfast and then spend the rest of the day snacking and hanging out on the couch. Who can resist that?

So my parents bought Gracie a little Raiderette outfit for her to wear with Papa who wears his Raiders Jersey every Sunday during football season (not pictured).
