O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Our tree has been up for 2 weeks, after a quick trip to the Home De-pot, I finally got rid of the 5 foot $16 Walmart tree that has haunted the past 3 Christmas Seasons. This one is 7 feet tall, with a wide "girth" and most importantly it is pre-lit. And quite honestly I think its lovely.

It's stuffed with goodies.  Every branch on that tree has something hanging from it, and while some people may miss the scent of fresh pine when converting to a fake tree, my spruceberry candle more than makes up for it. That candle smells better than any real tree ever could.  

Everyone needs to....

Click on my sister's name, Kara at right and see a picture of her darling family, with her adorable children! Good job Kara!

Ahhhh...

I love it.
I hate it.
I can't wait to see the movie.

Here's one more....

Sacrifices.

The Greatest Adventure of All....

So one of the greatest movies of all time, is "The Great Chipmunk Adventure." You can't go wrong with any movie that has "great" in the title. This is the one movie we watched over and over and over and over again. That and Nickelodeon's The Elephant Show. This movie has everything, first off you have the chipmunks, spoiled pampered dogs, rich mega-villains, exotic locales, singing, dancing, cannibalistic natives, and even penguins. Name one other movie that has all of that. Anyways, I bought the DVD at Target a couple of months ago, and I was watching it tonight with one of my nieces.
It brought back some memories, memories I'd like to share with you:

Off to see the World.

Boys and Girls of Rockin' Roll.

Oh and did I mention, TRL's officially off the air? I cried...

Whose that Hottie?

 Meet my baby brother, Tanner K. 

Tanner is the baby of the family, and I am not going to lie, he was a very cute baby. Apparently all of that cuteness has turned into hotness, when he become a freshman. 

May I present to you, the JHS October "Hottie of the Month!"

That's right it's Tanner, or as they refer to him on the website, Holyoak.  Click here to see the full article here. 

But I am making up my own article. I know Tanner better than anyone, I practically raised the kid. 

Tanner likes baseball. He is very good, and in the game pictured above he was the best defensive player on the team! Making all three outs in more than one inning.  Tanner also likes to eat cereal, I do believe those are some honey bunches of oats, which are his fav. Either that or Peanut Butter Cup cereal, which I also enjoy! Who wouldn't like eating candy bars for breakfast?  One time he left the door to the cereal cupboard open and Dillon came down and ran into it,  ripping the cupboard off its hinges. Good one boys. I think they planned it, so they could have easier access to the cereal. 

Look how tough he is. And even though he said that his favorite movie was Glory Road, I know better, its actually State Fair. He comes from a long tradition of Musicals, coming in second place is Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Tanner, I would blame Dad. 

So it looks like Tanner and Sierra are friends in this picture, but I am sad to say that Sierra actually gets really mad at Tanner sometimes, maybe its because they are so close in age....

Oh look, it's not just one hottie, but two! Another on of Tanner's favorite activities is riding in the middle of nowhere on a motorbike. This however is one of my least favorite activities. And if it looks like I have a mustache, it's just dirt. 

So there he is, the Hottie of the Month. Those ladies at Jerome High School must really know whats up! And even though he didn't list a specific girl's name, under his dream girl...we all know who it is.... Hannah Montana, or should I say Miley  Stewart, or is it Miley Cyrus? 

Au Revoir October

October was stuffed to the rafters with ballerinas, lots of cupcakes, caramel apples with Andrew's fam, a trip to Colorado to visit my sister and her kiddies, and my mother dressed as a witch. Cheers!
