Well it's been awhile since our last post. We've been extremely busy with work and school that we have not had time to do much at all. This past weekend we had my family here for Christmas, below are some pictures.


I'm soooo cool with my new Christmas vest.


What's in there?



I'm so excited

Trick or Treating We Go

This was the first Halloween that Aden had some clue of what was going on. At first he was a little confused, but by the end he was getting the hang of it. We all loaded up in our friends' golf carts and were able to stop at a lot more houses. He would scream, "Trick or Treat" as soon as we stopped the cart. As you can tell in the pictures he was a frog, which he really thought was cool. We all had so much fun!

Weekend Review

A day at the local park, his favorite was throwing rocks.

Aden is certainly his Mother's son!!!

Weekend Review

We were glad to have my Mother and Sister in for the weekend. Aden had fun playing with Aunt "San", and Grandma got first hand knowledge of the terrible twos!!

Mom and I had the chance to go to the Arkansas/Florida game. I was fortunate to get the seats behind the players bench, so being so close we got on the big screen. I always thought what I would do when that time came, and what did I do? I would not raise my finger in the air and say "we're #1", since we do not even have a winning record. So I went ahead and raised my hands in the air and called the hogs. Mom on the other hand was too shocked to do anything. Being so close to the players makes me realize how big those guys are. Wow, they make me look like a little squirt.

The big news that everyone is discussing is the economy. While I understand that the economy is in bad shape, I also understand that it will get better. Unfortunately our society expects a quick turnaround, and I really do not believe that will happen. Until the majority of the American people learn to live below their means, there will always be a crises in our economy. I hope the banking industry has learned their lesson and will be more cautious in loaning out money. Anyway.....My dad always said about the market "what goes down will always come up", and I will add "but you must give it time".

Until next time............

Beginning Blog

Wow, how technology has changed our lives. Not too long ago Misty and I did not text, and thought it was stupid. After an elightening conversation with one of my friends I realized that we were part of the minority. Now we have what we hope to be a continual blog that everyone can stay caught up with us.

Isn't it amazing to think back and realize all the "stuff" we didn't have 15 years ago, but now it is a necessity. What would we do if we didn't have our cell phones, internet, gps, or even the 1000 channels that we can watch (how many do we really watch??)

Last weekend I had the opportunity to go the Ryder Cup in Louisville, KY and it was totally unreal. The amount of energy in the air was unbelievable. It was definitely worth the trip and one that I will never forget.

Aden is becoming such a big boy. Tonight we were looking through pictures and did not realize how much he has grown up and Misty and I have gotten older. I guess that is what is suppose to happen.

Misty is neck deep into her schooling and is confirming her position as the family nerd.

I guess lastly I will speak to the Razorbacks. I know it will be a tough year, but you better get your licks in this year (and maybe next), but the time will come when you will fear the "Hogs". UT will lose to OU and they will continue to be a "one game short" team, as they have been for quite some time.

Until next time.............
