Rylan's first experience with an OREO cookie

Santa Photos

This year's experience with Santa Claus was not as good as years before. Rylan seemed to be afraid of Santa so we had to do a bit of tricking to get them in a photo together where Rylan wasn't crying. Here's what we got:

(I'm outta here!)

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom! Yesterday was my Mom's birthday. Rylan made her a homemade card and we got her another card and a balloon bouquet. I hope you had a great birthday Mom. Love you!

It's been a busy few weeks

It's been a busy few weeks lately so I haven't had a lot of time to blog but everything is ok. We're very excited because Mom McQ was able to fly back last weekend so she can spend a couple weeks here in Boise with us for the holidays! We're so thankful for that and Rylan is LOVING every minute. My work is keeping me busy as usual and I enjoy it so much. A couple of the girls from work wanted to go see Twilight the other night so we did that on Monday evening. Then Tuesday evening, Mom McQ and I went over to Clarissa's house for a Body Shop At-home Pedicure party. So we haven't been home very much this week. Over the weekend, we dug out the Christmas decorations and finally got them put up. I didn't put up as many this year as normal but maybe next year.

I have to also admit that I am so stoked about one of my recent purchases. I have to admit an addiction. I am SOOOO addicted to Scentsy. I started out with one little warmer and a few scents. I liked how good it made my house smell. I had purchased these scents: (This is the order of my personal preference- starting with my favorite) Thunderstorm (this one is amazing.), Snowberry (also another great one!), Cozy Fireside, Baked Apple Pie, Clean Breeze and Autumn Sunset. I have also added a few more things to my collection now. I was able to pick up 2 plug-in warmers and several new scents: Spiced Orange Harvest, Clove & Cinnamon, Coconut Lemongrass, Sticky Cinnamon Bun, Black Raspberry Vanilla, Peach Cobbler Cinnamon, another Thunderstorm, another Snowberry and Mediterranean Spa. So far, I have a plug-in in each bathroom and my warmer in the living room. Even though I have different scents in each one, they all seem to be complimenting each other so well that I am thrilled. I don't want to leave the house- it smells too good. I don't know if I would have taken the plunge and tried Scentsy if it wasn't for a great Blogging friend, Misty, who is a Scentsy consultant. I gotta give a shout-out to her website: www.scentsy.com/mistybarry. If anyone is considering trying Scentsy, email her, check out her site, you won't be disappointed. Well, I will post some photos in a separate entry so look for those and I'll try to be better at posting.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for this year that it would take too long to list them all but here's my top 3.

1. My family including this adorable little boy who makes me smile every day when he smiles and laughs.
   
2. My health
3. My Faith
   

My ABC's

I've decided to challenge myself

I have decided that I am going to teach myself Spanish. I have taken several different spanish classes throughout my school days but it seems like you really do lose it if you don't use it. I want to be able to translate at work and understand people who come in to bond people out. So here I go...

BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!

This is the best movie ever!!! I'll elaborate more later. You really have to see this for yourself.

Family Time

We're sad to say that Grandma McQ* went home to Las Vegas yesterday. We've had a terrible time today trying to adjust and I'm hoping that she can come back soon.. Here's some recent photos to share...

I'm so addicted

I have to apologize for not writing alot this week but I've been a bit busy with family and reading. I have to say that I'm so addicted to the Twilight Saga books. I started reading Twilight Thursday of last week and finished it within 24 hours. Then I read New Moon and now I've finished Eclipse. I'll start Breaking Dawn tonight. I never thought about reading these books but so many people have read them and encouraged me to give them a try. I'm excited to say that I'm glad I did and I want to see the movie when it comes out this weekend. I guess I'm a hopeless romantic... I just love the idea of Edward and Bella!!
