Confession

I already confessed to my friend, Leslie, so why not tell everyone??
I am addicted to sweets...especially chocolate. Just yesterday, I had Isaac with me at Wal Mart. We walked right past the donuts and Isaac begged for some. I said, "No.", but really, really wanted some myself. As we walked up and down the aisles, all I could think about were those chocolate donuts. I started breaking out in a sweat (!!!) because I wanted them so badly. On the way out of the store, I made my way back past the donuts. I stood there and just stared at them and finally gave in and put them in my basket. As I loaded the car with the groceries, I made sure to put the donuts in the front seat. I got one out while Isaac wasn't looking and chowed down on it on the way home. I felt no guilt or regret. That's when it is bad!! :)

Our House

Will you all pray with us that our house in Dalhart will sell soon? Mindy just posted a blog saying that their house is under contract (ANSWERED PRAYER!!!!) and it prompted me to go and look at our realtor's web page. A house was just listed on our street for $900 less than ours. I never realized what a game this is and it is starting to get a bit frustrating!! In order to buy a house here, we are going to need to make quite a bit off of our house there. So every time we have to come down on the price...well, you know. Click HERE to see our house in Dalhart. Thanks for praying!!

Sidenotes

I already blogged tonight but had to add some more pictures and thoughts. :)




Isaac wanted his training wheels back on. He is happier and so are we. He's so proud of all the tricks he can do on his bike.
Sidenote: I love Isaac. He is such a sweet boy. He always wants to cuddle with me and just hold my hand. He takes care of his brother and sister (sometimes more than they care for). He enjoys simple things.

I am trying to get Olivia interested in walking. She thinks that it's pretty funny.
Sidenote: I am starting to like the color pink. I have almost always hated pink and purple. When I was a little girl, I thought that every girl HAD to like those two colors...they were "girl" colors. Secretly, I loved brown and green. Of course, I never told anyone that. I would have been weird. But pink is growing on me. Olivia is pink. :) In this picture, Olivia has on a purple hair bow. (Thanks Kara.) Purple may take awhile longer to grow on me but it is working it's way in.

The boys love to take pictures with my camera. I fix all of the settings for them and let them have at it!
Sidenote: They are getting a camera for Christmas.

Josiah has the cutest smile.
Sidenote: Today, Josiah got in trouble for throwing something in the house. Jay asked him what he thought his punishment should be. Josiah said, "Not to do that again." I don't think he knows what "punishment" means.
Another sidenote: When we open our garage, we see lots of red, blue, and yellow! We also see lots of boxes and junk.

Olivia the Lizard

Lizards are all over this area! My boys have been terrified of them since we have moved here. When we first moved, Isaac wouldn't even step a foot outside unless we made sure that there were no lizards close by. Now they know that lizards will run away if they step by them. Today was huge...Josiah picked a lizard up! He found the cutest little lizard that I have ever seen.



I couldn't get Josiah still enough to really take a great picture. Do you see how proud he is? The lizard was smaller than Olivia's pinkie. In fact, the boys named the lizard after their sister. Josiah referred to it as a "she".

Isaac even held "Olivia" while she was in the container...that's big for Ike.

Olivia, meet "Olivia"....Oooooo!

Aaahhhh!!! I love lizards!!!

Election Day

Election Day in the Wright House

American Flag cake...The sprinkles were flavored!! I wasn't expecting to eat blueberry/peppermint cake!




This is Josiah singing "Happy Birthday" to the flag. :)

"Mmmmm", he says!

Happy Election Day! We are proud to be Americans.

Olivia??

What will Olivia's personality be? We still haven't figured her out. But I can tell you one thing, she is loved! When she wakes up in the morning or after a nap, everyone waits to see her face!















This is her "I don't think so." face.















This is her "I'm having a good time." face.















This is her "Ooooo, I want that!" face.















This is her "Get away from me, Josiah!" face

Emily

Please continue to pray for Emily!
