New Addition To Our Family !!!

Christmas came early to our house this year. After a long time of begging, bugging, pleading, and crying Brandon broke down and surprised us all with a puppy for Christmas. He did a lot of looking and researching and found the most adorable puppy ever. He is a maltese puppy, he was born on Oct. 25th, so he is only 7 weeks old. We all went together to pick him out on Sat. morning. It was so much fun and the boys absolutely love him. They keep saying it was the best Christmas present ever. We all agreed on his name, which is Tigger. He jumps around and pounces just like tigger so it fits him well. The best part is he is paper trained for the most part which is amazing for such a small pup. He has a hard time sleeping at night, but he is getting better it seems just after 2 nights. We are all very much in love with our new little puppy.

Going Private

Okay I have decided to go private to give me and other family members a piece of mind. If you would like to still have access to see my blog please let me know. You can either send me an email or leave a comment on my blog. I have been putting this off for a bit now and have decided to just bite the bullet and do it. I will probably give it a wekk or two until I do it to give everyone time. Thanks all!!

Christmas Addiction

Well it's that time of year again. I tried to be good this year and the only thing I purchased for my village were people. However my mom bought me a tree lot and gave me a doctor's office and an inn, and my mother-in-law bought me three houses this summer at a yard sale. Poor Brandon is beginning to feel like it is about to over run our house. It is so hard to control my addiction and not buy a new item every year. My Christmas village is my favorite thing about Christmas. I absolutely love Christmas, decorating, baking, and the music. It really is the best time of the year. I do tend to go over board a bit with my baking and my decorating, but I just can't help myself. I was very adamant about putting my second tree up again this year, even though many people told me not to. I think it turned out really well and I'm glad I proved them all wrong.

Climbing Higher Award

Logan recieved the Climbing Higher Award at school on 11/19/08. He had been very sick and had missed 3 days of school, when we found out that he was getting the award the next day at school. I was so glad that he didn't miss out on getting his award in person. Logan recieved his award for Always Having the BEST ATTITUDE (wow wish he would at home too!!). It was really fun to see him get his award along with all the other kids that recieved theirs that day. Way to go Logan we are so proud of you!!

Twilight !!

Well I went to the opening night of Twilight. I didn't have too high of expectations going into the movie, however I ended up really liking the movie. It had a few things that I wasn't entirely happy with, but for a book made into a movie it was good. I still love the book 100 times more, but will definately buy the movie when it comes out.

Logan Turns 8 !!

Logan Bud Gunn came into our lives 8 years ago on November 1st, 2000. He weighed 7lbs. 15oz and was 19.5 inches long. I was in labor with him for 8 and a half hours when he finally arrived. We were so lucky to have my dad, Logan's namesake, my mom, my oldest sister Tiff, and Brandons mom there right after he was born.It is sooo hard to believe we have an eight year old. I find myself getting a little chocked up looking at him lately and looking back over the years. Logan has been such an amazing little boy from day one. He has so much love in his heart it's unbelieveable. I feel so lucky and blessed to be raising him, he brings so much to our family. I look forward to the years to come and hope they come slowly as possible. Happy Birthday Buddie !!

Our 8 Year Old

Halloween

Halloween has come and gone again!!! This year has flown by so fast, it is hard to believe we just celebrated Hallwoeen. The boys decided on their costumes early this year again so that was great. Riley was our little Police Officer, and Logan was our scarey Vampire. They looked so great in their costumes and had a lot of fun Trick-or-Treating. However I think they enjoyed handing out the candy even more. After it was all over and done with the boys were able to pick 10 candies each out of their bags before selling it all to their Papa Lynne. I took them happily to the store to pick out a new toy with their money!! It only took going to 4 stores for them to make up their minds. The boys both bought a new legos set, Logan's was a Knights set, and Riley's was a Spongebob set. Thank heavens for Grandpa we won't be having any sugar rushes and fights again this year!!

Logans Halloween Parade and Class Party

Well again this year it was ridiculous to find parking at the school and of course the parade didn't start on time but all in all it was great fun. There were some very creative costumes this year. There was an older child that was dressed as oggie boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas, another boy was dressed as dirty laundry, he had a laundry basket around his waste with laundry stuffed in it and a thing of tide, another child was a toilet, the list goes on and on. I wish I could have got pictures of them all, but they walk so fast so they can get it over with. After the parade it was on to Logan's class party. I planned the party this year since I was the Head Cub Mom, it all went really well. My sister Tiffany came and did her witches brew for the class and the kids really enjoyed it and thought it was really cool, she was a hit.
