Ho Ho Ho!!!

Should we be worried that she loves strangers?

Party #2

Adrienne and her cousin Issac
Adrienne got to ride the horse at Barry and Chars house
Then we had another birthday party
It was a fun week!

At first she made a mess, but it didn't take long for her to clean it up... it took mom a while though.

Birthday Girl!

Adrienne's Birthday was December 5th. We decided to celebrate it with our families while we were in Utah for Thanksgiving. It was way past her bedtime so she was onery while opening her present but she brightened up as soon as she saw the cake.

Elder Sanders

My little brother Shane has been serving his mission in Durant Oklahoma for the last five weeks. Durant is less than an hour from us and Michael is there quite often for work. It is against the rules for us to go and visit him, so we have made no effort to. When Michael and his co-worker were finished at the heart clinic today, they went to Chili's for a late lunch (it was about 2:30pm). Someone came up behind him and said "fancy seeing you here". We were a little disappointed that he wasn't in his shirt, tie, and name tag for the picture, but he had just been helping a member building a shed and the member took them to lunch. They had a nice visit then it was back to work.

any guesses???

See if you can find Michael...and guess who he is supposed to be. I came up with his costume about a half an hour before our ward party, and somehow glued the stash together. The shirt and the looks are authentic. I will give the younger generation a clue...Tom Selleck. Come on it must be coming to some of you...

He won one of three prizes for best costume in this group. One of the judges thought he was creepy because she didn't know who he was supposed to be.

We also won the prize for best trunk for the trunk-or-treat. Obviously no one else even tried, because I didn't think I had done much. For those of you young'ns who still don't know who Michael was you should google Magnum PI.

Happy Halloween!

Cutest little penguin ever!!!

My new room

Mom and Dad spent probably a total of ten hours taking off a wallpaper boarder and painting these stripes... so they will be staying forever.

See all my teeth!

Oooooklahoma!

Well, we've been here for about four weeks now and things are going great. We live in a little town called Ardmore. It is in the south-central part of the state, almost to the boarder of Texas. We are an hour and fifteen minutes south of Oklahoma City, and an hour and fifteen minutes north of Dallas. We just found out that Elder Shane Sanders (my baby brother) just got transfered to Durant Oklahoma, which is just short of an hour away from us, and Michael works there at least a couple of times a week. I haven't been able to get a hold of his mission president yet but hope that we will be able to take him to lunch or dinner sometime. Adrienne is just getting used to this being her new home. She loves her new crib and bedroom-I will post pictures soon, I hope. She has her two bottom middle teeth, her left top front tooth, right eye tooth and the other two top middle teeth are close behind. It might take me a while to figure out this blog idea and make it all cutsie, but I have heard that this is the best way to keep up with everyone and let everyone keep with us when we all live at different ends of the earth. I won't be able to post any pictures for a few days, at least, because the power cord to my computer was somehow the only thing that did not make it to Oklahoma with us, so we are waiting for a new one to get here. In the meantime I am using Michael's work laptop which does not have any of our pictures on it. I will try to keep this updated but I'm not very creative on the computer so I will do my best.
