Thanksgiving & getting ready for Christmas!

Thanksgiving was a blast with 5 other couples/families who joined my mom, sister, and brother and Clint and I at my parents house to celebrate! A lot of our friends didnt have other relatives around so they came and ate and hung out with us, watched football, played games, chilled, and ate some more! Dallas, Abby, Mark, Lorena, Zeek, Amy (and kids), Jason, Tori, Erin, and Jennica all came! We are so blessed to have such great friends!
Here are some pics of Carly helping put up the tree (with help of daddy) and then she some how found hours of fascination laying under the tree and staring at lights and the big red christmas ornament right in front of her face, and she kept going cross-eyed.
We will be in Utah for Christmas, but its depressing not to put up a tree! We are excited to go to Utah for weddings and Christmas for two weeks...YEAH!

Hot Air Balloon!!!!

Yesterday I took Clint on a hot air balloon ride!!! It was awesome! It was a totally new experince since we both have never gone before. We took off in Allen at 7 AM Saterday with 4 other balloons, it was a little cold but being in a hot air balloon was relaxing.... It was kind of windy and we had a little bit of a crash landing, we were dragged by the balloon for a while, and I ended up at the bottom of the basket (and took home some bruises). The basket was real small and we were cuddling with two other passengers and the driver, Sandy. Here are somes pics of the takeoff, us in the basket, the view, and after we landed!

Pictures at 2 months

So I got more pics done of Carly at two months old! Amy my amazing friend is an awesome photographer and took these for me today and even got them back to me today! Carly would not smile (maybe once or twice) but she fell asleep and then cried....of course thats how it goes.....by the way the picture with her finger to her cheek was totally ALL Carly, we didn't pose her...she is just a poser herself!

2 months old!

Carly is getting big so fast! She is already 2 months old! Here are a couple of pics Clint and I took, we had fun with the camera after church today and took tons! She is getting so bald so I thought the cap was cute, but whatever hair she does have is looking like it has a little red in it! Thanks Dave! She is close to 13 lbs now! Im just trying to keep up with her. If thats possible.....

BOO!

Carly was a little ghost and the rest of us were whatever we could pull together in the five minutes we had before we rushed over to hang out with friends late that night after I got done face painting for a Halloween Party.
Carly is now 6 weeks! She smiles all the time and is starting to coo, it is way too fun and its hard to get anything done! Clint skipped a class this morning and ended up just hanging out and "talking" with Carly...What a cute dad. Clint loves to take naps with Carly and I had to snap this pic of them sleeping. Someone needs to take the camera away from me!
