Family Halloween Photo

As you may know I am a little crazy about my photos. When Halloween came and went I knew I was going to regret not getting that family photo. Well I couldn't just drop it, so today was spent dressing us all back up in our Halloween costumes, looking for Tregs Batman mask, and painting on faces again. Then hours of taking photos and trying to find one we liked. I must say everyone was great sports and didn't make me feel bad for being OCD. Well this is the one we ended up with. Someday I will be glad I did this. But I can't say at this moment I am glad I did it.

Joshua Wendall

So you all know I absolutly loving being an aunt. In my mind that is the next best thing to being a wife and mother. I love showing my love for my siblings through the love I show their children. I hope someday I will be called "my favorite aunt" from one of my neices or nephews. Well we just recently welcomed little Joshua Wendall Romans into our family. Terry's sister Talesha just had her 4th baby. She now has 1 girl and 3 boys. Talesha is an amazing person. She is just really sweet and very stable. I just melted when she placed her sweet baby boy in my arms. I really had to question Terry "are you sure we are finished? Maybe there is just one more." Joshua is very beautiful and so alert. I couldn't believe how much he was eyeing me. He really seemed to know what was going on. Like he could tell I wanted to take him home with me. Thanks Talesha for sharing your sweet son with us. Goodluck with number 4, I am sure your family will make him feel so welcome.

Obama Wins!

Today history was made. The United States of America's people voted in the first Black American President. I will be the first to admit, Terry and I both don't follow the political races. I have a really hard time listening to them because I just don't believe any said. I don't believe any of the rumors of the canidates pasts. And I don't believe what they promise. I did vote, however! Then I thought why are you voting for somebody you don't really know. Then I thought does anybody really know who or what they just voted in? I dislike the whole process of lies and trying to outbeat another. But I am grateful to live in a country where I have the option to vote. Congrats to Obama I hope you do many good things for this country. We need a little good right now.

Okay I was tagged by Deena and now I have to expose 6 quirks about myself. I think Terry would be the better one to answer this since I don't consider my quirks to be quirks but oh well here I go.

1- I have a REALLY hard time not changing all the little kids shoes that ended up on the wrong feet. Even though they are so proud of themselves it just gets to me and I really have to strain not to change them.

2- I am a door locker. Whether I am home or not I lock the doors, I lock my car doors and everything all the time. I even get confused when I get out of my jeep and there is no door to lock. When it is cold outside and I come in I especially lock the door. It is like I am subconsciously trying to lock out the cold. Crazy I know.

3- I take too many photos. I don't know if this is caused by the lack of photos of my childhood. Or the hopes that my children will remember everything from their childhood. I am just not sure. But I do take photos of everything and it is ridiculous.

4- I sleep better when the kids are in my room. When they aren't there I stress about them then I am constantly checking on them. I wonder if they are cold or sick or having a nightmare.

5- I can't walk by my garbage can and leave the lid open. I have to have it shut. When Terry cooks he likes to leave it open so he can just toss what he wants to get rid of. Well I am constantly walking by and shutting it. Which ticks him off. So I am learning to get out of the kitchen when he cooks so I am not tempted to shut the garbage until he is finished. Hey wait is this my quirk or Terry's?

6- When I am riding shotgun I LOVE, LOVE to roll down the window on nice days and do the wave with my arm. You know the up and down wave. I just love it and if ever drive me around on a nice day you will either see me doing this or fighting the temptation not to do it.

So there, there are a few of my quirks. Poor Terry I know he has to live with a syco, but hey he had the choice and he said yes. I didn't force him into this crazy love. Now I get to tag a few of you who I would love to learn of your quirks to make me feel normal. Kathy, Katie, Sally, JaNae, Nancy, Amy, Tara, Allison, and yes you too Heidi.

Halloween Party

The night after Halloween we went to my brothers for a Halloween party. We got a trusty babysitter and broke free for a few moments. It was fun I have not been to a costume party in so long that it just made me feel like a youngster again. I will post better photos of us later. But this was the cutest one so far. Captain Spaulding and The Nun (Kye and Emilee) my cute brother and his wife.
The cutest Western couple I have seen in a long time. (Shawn and Josie) some good friends of ours.Dr. Fietkau and his wife. I love his fake Cigarette it even smokes. I tried to trick Terry with it and he just blew me off. And what is a party without the Rockband. Kami was my drummer but you just can't see her behind me. It was fun all in all. Thanks for including us among your friends Kye and Em.
