Well here was our thanksgiving. We had Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, rolls, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and for drink a strawberry smoothie. :) Daniel set the table for us.







I did a rub on the turkey. It was yummy.


I Am growing some oregano now! This is an "old" picture now. only like a day, but they are much taller and there are much more of the sprouts.
Here are my basil and avocado! :) I'm so proud of myself. And i love using fresh basil!!!

Here is one of our most amazing colored trees. It's Right across the street! I love it. But we actually have a few around since it is soooo "cold" Yesterday our high was 55 with wind, today the high is suppose to be 68.

Our Cute Little Family

Well since I have lots of time left over after working on all my school setting up, and job searching, I get to make up dinner concoctions. This is my latest. noodles with a white sauce, with chicken broth, fresh basil, milk, and Romano cheese. it turned out quite well.

With it I made some french bread, I did some of the dough into a baguette and some into rolls. They were yummy. I also made some bruchetta to go with them.
Propane loves to play under teh blankets. She'll dive under them and roll around and be crazy. The cutest part of it is that she snorts when doing so. :)

Here is my avocado tree and basil. I need to get my basil or the tree out, the basil grew soo fast and is too big to be next to the tree.
After ariving home from church, or any long period away, propane wags her tail and is so happy to see us. Daddy sat next to her petting and cuddling while she chewed on her bone.




So our silly little girl likes to slide of of the couch and bed. She lets her front go down then pause, stretch, and let the rest of her slide off the couch.
My most amazing, wonderful, caring husband. :) I am so blessed to have him in my life for ever and ever!
So we are doing good. I am feeling great, and we are having fun as a little family, playing, going for walks, enjoying time together and doing house projects. (mostly working on the garden box and leveling where it will go) the weather finally has cooled off quite a bit. we have been getting quite a bit of rain. Today is one of those days, accompanied by a thunder storm. It is usually in the 60's to 70's. We usually have the windows open, unless it's high humidity, then we use the a/c. So our electric bill has gone way down from the summer! Always nice. So all is well and good in Texas. Love everyone!

Local News

Sorry not the prettiest. I copied and pasted. So I check the local online news everyday, and this is an article I found. I saw it and knew right then it was 2 LDS missionaries. It is a comfort to know they were doing the Lord's work and I'm sure that will be a great blessing to them. May our prayers be with their families.

DONNA, Texas (AP) — Investigators say a driver has surrendered after two Mormon missionaries on bicycles were killed and a third was hurt after being hit by a car in South Texas.

Department of Public Safety Trooper Johnny Hernandez says the victims wore helmets and were using bicycle lights when they were struck by the oncoming car around 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Hernandez said Wednesday that it was dark during the wreck in Donna and the driver, from Mexico, ran away but later surrendered at a port of entry. Charges are pending.

A statement from the Mormon church identifies the men who died as 21-year-old Trevor Reinhold Strong of Taylorsville, Utah, and 20-year-oldDerek Jason Walker of Fairfield, Idaho.

Hospital officials say 19-year-old Zachary Todd Harris of Huntsville, Ala., was treated and released.

oh! here are some more

Forgot I had these. Propane is a good pillow, other than she doesn't hold still. :) But it's one way Daddy and Puppy bond. ;)

Our ward trunk or treat was fun. I don't know who this was, an adult, but it was the coolest thing ever.
We had many costumes. There were ninjas, super heros, princesses, foods, and so much more. This was my favorite though. :) Little mickey mouse. complete with tail coat, and yellow crocks.

new pics

so Not much is going on here. So we don't have much to share......Propane still loves to watch the world through the windows. When we are upstairs the blinds gotta be open to keep propane content. Otherwise she will hear things and run around the house barking cuse she can't see what she hears. lol goofy girl.



For Halloween I made a paper mache pumkin. It ended up quite large.



And this is how it has looked outside for the last couple days. and Expected for the next few.
Sorry not much exciting this time.Life is kinda slow. But hopefully soon we'll be able to do some more fun things.
