Matt got to see his Mommy for Turkey Day!

Matt took a nap and looked very much like a little kid for a few minutes! Bryce and I went to see Matt for Turkey day and brought him the whole home made dinner. We had our turkey day in the motel!
Matt decided to try on some "skinny" jeans on a shopping spree we took...he looks like he should be playing baseball! Thankfully, he did not get these!


We had a day at the Fort Worth Zoo, that was a great day!

November is flying by.........




Well, November is flying by and I have no idea how to make it slow down! This month has been packed with events for me and I don't think there will be any stopping now till Christmas! The month started out with me teaching at the college for a Victim Services academy for two weeks and then two other trainings for advocate groups and the Sheriffs Department, and a K9 scent theory class as well....all of this on top of my regular job! I started my Business this month officially too! Crisis Education Systems LLC is up and running and I am booking classes! So, to say I'm getting tired and a little cranky is an understatement! I am putting on a couple pictures of Erin, this is what she has been up to this month! She got her braces all tightened up and some new spring thing in there...a real metal mouth for sure! Then she got her herself some glasses for reading and has turned into a pretty cute little "nerd"! Happy Turkey Day everyone!

Matt cuts his own hair!

I told Matt he was a chip off the old block and maybe should take after his mom and start doing hair for a living! Nice job Matt! You have successfully skinned yourself!
