Sincerelly Disappointed

Well, I can't believe it, but Doug won the drawing contest. I am outraged at the lack of votes for the turkey vs. Indian contest. The story behind it was much funnier if you were there, but I always draw something on my white board calendar for that month: a flower, leaves, jack-o-lantern, etc. I tried to draw a cooked turkey, but it didn't turn out so I went with the Indian drawing and was quite pleased with myself. I drew Doug's attention to it and started to say, "Did you see my...?" And I busted out laughing as I saw his very detailed version of a live turkey. He laughed and said, "Yes. Did you see my turkey?" So we decided to take it to the streets to see whose was better, but due to lack of participation, I'm calling it a draw.

My camera battery died and I left my charger in Indi - so I have NO pictures from Thanksgiving! or Doug's stepsister Brighton's wedding or reception!! I am so upset, but we had such a great week attending the wedding events and Brighton was so beautiful of course and her dress was the most gorgeous I have ever seen. No lie. Also, Doug and West attended a Jazz game with the boys while I saw Twilight with the girls again - better the second time, if you can believe it. So I have a lack of pictures until I receive my charger, but here are some from Lisa's blessing that I haven't posted yet.














And I caught Weston at a later point looking in on the girls in their pack n play and he was talking in a really high pitched voice. I was confused and said, "What are you doing, Weston?" He quickly walked away, embarrassed that he got caught. Then I realized he was just imitating how we all talk to the babies in our higher pitched baby voices! I was laughing so hard and I think he was a little mad at me.















This is Weston's newfound idol, Uncle Adam. He followed Adam everywhere. About a week later, I was talking to Lisa on the phone and Weston heard me say, "Adam". To which his response was, "Ada?" and reached for the phone. At least, now Ada sounds more like Adam and not dada. But car is ca, ball, balloon, and bath are all ba, bottle is now bobble and not ba-ba, and biper is diaper. I bet your kids told you they were stinky, not that they need a diaper change. "Outside" sounds like scooby doo's version "outride", and a "ride" that can be confusing.

Those pictures are fun! I think that is so cute that Weston was talking to the twins like that.

He is going to be such a good big cousin. He will love terrorizing them.

Ok. So this is random but get this--One of my friends Ryan and I have been really good friends since freshman year. The other day I was hopping from blog to blog and was on your brothers blog (haha, is that creepy?!) and I noticed it said Ryan Lee as a friend, and so I asked Ryan Casually how he knows "The Briggs" and Kristen, your sister-in-law is his sister!! Small, small world?! I thought so!

Cute pics of your nieces. I am sure Weston will be a good big brother someday by the looks of the pictures. Also, thanks for always commenting on my blog. I still really do want to see you and meet your Weston. I have all next week off if you wanna do something.
