November 2009

cousins...

grammy and Jack

such a cowboy!

My puppy!

first paint stroke on our new house!

his typical face when he knows he is not supposed to be eating whatever he is eating!

This has been a great month for us. The Lord blessed us with a home! We are not in it yet because there is some work to be done! Almost ready though. We are grateful for the Crank family (my sweet sister in law and her husband) who have let us live with them for most of 2009! They have been so selfless in letting us live with them! I do not know how we will ever be able to repay them! It will be a bitter sweet day when we move out. Jack got a new puppy...ok.....I got a new puppy. She is such a sweetie! Corey is still enjoying his new job. He started getting his certifications this month to be a gun instructor. He loves guns! Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving!

Bella

We have a new puppy, Bella! She is 15 weeks and so cute! I guess she is not really a puppy anymore...hmmm...she is kinda big actually. Jack tells her to "GOOOO" while pointing his finger for her to leave the room. He is getting so much personality. Well, I was feeding him dinner the other night and trying to get him to actually eat it and he pointed his finger and said "GOOOO" to me. Haha, I was rolling. It's funny the things they pick up so quickly. He is just a fun little boy these days. Here is a picture of Jack and Bella.

Top 10

This is a recent picture. He is getting really tall! He likes to wear things on his hands (his sock and daddy's sock).

Jack can say just about any word you ask him. It might not sound the same, but we know what it means. Here are the top 10 words he can say on his own-

1) Night night
2) Ruff Ruff (in a high pitch barking voice-that's his word for dog)
3) Pa-Paw
4) Da- da
5) Momma
6) FOOOOO (that's food! He usually says this strolling thru the produce section at the store while trying to grab every piece of fruit.)
7) Bye Bye
8) This (that means he wants "this"- whatever he is pointing to)
9) Cold
10) Hot (after he says this he always blows on whatever is hot)

Our precious little........PUPPY?!?!

He plays with their toys...

He helps them clean the crumbs off the floor...

He wrestles just like one of em'...

He lives in their crate at night...

He takes naps with them on the floor...

He has the role of alpha dog...

He eats their food...

He really thinks he's a dog and he loves being a dog! We will have to break it to him some day and tell him the truth of who is real parents are...we just don't think he's old enough to handle it yet. :)

September

First time climbing into the dryer. I have a feeling it won't be the last!

I love this! He is such a little man.

The backyard is fenced in-perfect for Jack to play!

Living room once more

And the front!

This is our house! Well, technically it will be our house sometime in October (that's when we close). These are the before pictures- it needs some work. There is one room that is neon green and black. I'm thinking we will need lots of primer. It's a 3 bedroom/2 bath foreclosure in a cute little neighborhood in Cartersville. I am so excited about decorating it!
