Uncle Tim Santa

Molly & Papa

Sean & Molly already got to see Santa this year . . . here they are waiting, Sean quite anxious . . . . well, not really anxious, more like nervous.

He did manage to get out that he wanted a "little tiny dump truck" and that his little sister wanted a "pink car".
It helps however when you realize that it is "Uncle Tim Santa" and not the "Real Santa". Phew.
It has been super fun to watch Molly lately - she is growing so fast and doing so much, and she will just stare, and smile, and laugh at her older brother. Sean likewise has been noticing her more . . . many times she will be napping in another room and he will all of the sudden say, "mom, where is Molly?!?!?!" like we lost her or something. I pray that they may have a strong bond and friendship and continue to admire and look out for one another.

That being said, I am not sure which of these two pictures I like better, the one where Molly is characteristically sticking her tongue out, or the one where she is characteristically looking at her older brother. I think they are both cute!

Is it just me . . ..

Is this really strange to anyone else? The raccoon was just sitting there, pawing at the door like, "what?!?! It's not like I am some rabid prone, over sized rodent or something."

ps, not my door :)

We had a wonderful time in Montana over the last week. It was great to see family, get outside, and of course eat wonderful food. Here a just a few of the pictures and a couple videos from our trip. My sister-in-law Stacey got some AMAZING shots also - check it out here. Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!!!!

This is Sean riding Shake Em, he is talking to Sassy in this video.

The other weekend Ryan flew down to Los Angeles with his parents to watch the races at Los Alamitos and support his mother who was awarded a pretty prestigious award in the horse racing community. She was given the Milli Vessels award which is given to one women every year who shows an outstanding commitment and achievement within the American Quarter Horse racing industry. It is very cool to see Mary get recognition for all the hard work she does!!!

This first photo is of Ed and Mary with their friends Candace and KC. They are the ones who nominated Mary for the award! KC also received the leading Challenge Owner and Trainer of the Year!

Here is the beautiful race track at Los Alamitos!

And getting the award! Congratulations Mary!!!!!
