And one more...

This image was "edited". I added some contrast to the color, etc.... I can't wait to play around with the program some more!!

I did it, I did it!

I did it, I did it! I FINALLY figured it out! I will have to do a post tomorrow, because I don't have time to complete one right now. My camera came with a good editing program, so I edited some pics but for some reason I am having a hard time figuring out how to post the edited ones on here. So..............for now I will leave you with these two. More to come!! Yeah!!

How Do Big Families Do It?

Take a picture, that is! I tried sooooooooooooooo many times to get a picture of the boys under the Christmas tree. Was not happening! I was trying to get a picture to compare this year to last year. Last years picture is the one above. Way easier back then!


"What you must be crazy!"

"You know I don't sit still that long"
"Okay, seriously YOU have to be kidding me"
Carter...."I'm getting so bored"
"Maybe if I turn like this"
"Okay, lets try standing"
"I'm outta here!"
"Okay, maybe Santa will help"
"Come back here Santa...and Landon"
"Okay, give Santa a hug"
"Maybe the bus?"
"That goes zoom zoom real fast"

"And he's gone...for good"
I NEED A FASTER CAMERA!!

Watch out World!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for this year. Good health, lots of friends, TERRIFIC family and most importantly LOTS OF LOVE!
I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving and safe travels!

Our newest addition...

Carter has been begging us for a dog for a long time now. About a year ago, we told him once he turned 5. Well his 5 year old birthday came and went without getting a dog. So lately he has been asking if he could get one for Christmas. Without putting much thought into it, we kept brushing him off.

Well...wouldn't you know that at 9:00 this morning we get a call from Elinor saying that her nephew was down there with six golden retriever puppies. Thinking we would just "take a look", we went down there.

After seeing a little boy begging (see picture above, I can't get it to move) "pllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
(and their nephew practically giving the registered dog away)








and this cute little face
we now have our newest addition in the Paddack household.





Meet Oliver...

Grandma

It has been a year since I lost one of the kindest, funniest most WONDERFUL woman I know. I miss you Grandma, now more than ever. I wished I could have called you the other day when I watched a man win $100,000 on Wheel of Fortune and I wish you were here so we could talk about how crappy the Cowboys are playing. You are missed....always!!
