My Grandpa Guymon would be so proud

My Grandpa Guymon could fix anything. He was a master! So when I was faced with an extension cord running infront of my kitchen door in the garage, I figured "I have Guymon blood in me. I can make this work." I know this is no big deal to most of you but I was quite proud of myself for figuring out how to rig this cord out of our traffic pattern.

By the way - the cord is for charging the motorized scooters the kids got for Christmas.

We're almost open

Looks like we're going to be able to move in to our new office building within the next week. Last night the cleaning crew was working hard. A few doors need to be put on hinges but all the other work is done. This is a big step - and very scary.

Scribner Allergy will begin taking patients. Hopefully business will pick up quickly despite the economy. I'll have to work a few hours to take care of the business end of things. I'm definitely no help in the medical part of the practice! Troy & I make a good team. I just need to work on being more patient.

Wish us luck and keep us in your prayers.

How many of you did this?

This was the final touch to our tailgate party. Yummy! (My dad missed the game and all the partying beforehand because he was in Australia on vacation.)

What?

While I was on the phone, Camille walked into my room, grabbed my 44 oz. cup of Diet Pepsi and walked out of the room.

I found her in the family room sitting down to watch the rest of Elmo.

A Typical FHE Night

Every Monday night we get together with my extended family. Usually we have dinner at my parent's house but since they are currently in New Zealand and Australia, we decided to go out to pizza. And we had a blast!

Rose Bowl Fun

For all the USC football games we have attended over the years, we have never tailgated. I guess that's because we usually park in a building. At the Rose Bowl you get to park on the beautiful golf course so my brother planned a great tailgate party for us.... tri-tip sandwiches, chips, soda and barbequed pineapple for dessert. We had a great time. And then the game just topped it all off. Way to go 'SC!

Vroom Vroom............

This year we would not let the kids make wish lists for Christmas nor ask Santa for a present as in year's past. This year Santa was going to bring the kids surprises. You should've seen how many times Amanda would roll her eyes when someone would ask "And what are you asking Santa for?" She would faithfully reply with a huff "We are not asking Santa for a present this year. He's going to surprise us." And surprised he did. Santa brought 3 new motorized scooters and he was even smart enough to have them fully charged and ready to ride.
