Carter, Claire, & Dudley

Happy Halloween!! Andrew sees no point to Halloween. He is a big grouch and refuses to dress up. I will be going to the Trunk- or- Treat as a Diamondbacks Fan. Andrew will be going as Andy from Raggedy Ann and Andy. Seriously though, Andrew won't be going at all. He conveniently found a shift at work that just needed to be covered and signed up. I love pumpkins, so Amanda and I bought some and Karen, Amanda, and I colored them. Their names are Carter (Karen), Claire (me), and Dudley (Amanda). You can't see it very well in this pic, but Carter's smile actually reads "Happy Halloween." Boy, that Karen is talented.

And you have won..... A NEW CAR!

Ok, ok, we didn't win it. But we said goodbye to the old Pacifica today and got a new Impala. (Well it's new to us.) If Andrew would have gotten his way on this, I'd be driving around a Cadillac. He seriously wanted one. I think it was just so he could call his car "Caddy." I may have missed something here: are we retired? checking...checking... No. Ok, so no Caddy.

An Intruder

A few weeks back, Andrew and I were chillin in our living room and we heard our dog start barking. We both got up right away because Duke NEVER barks and we went to the back door. This friendly little guy was right next to our door. (I forgot Andrew took a pic of this or I would have posted earlier.) What a smart puppy we have! He knows when to alarm us of real danger. Of course if perfect strangers come up to our gate, he lets them walk right in without so much as a peep out of him.

Happy Birthday!!!

Hi Jacob- Happy 8th Birthday! We are so excited for you, it's a big one! Congratulations!

Hey Buddy

This week Andrew and I drove to Flagstaff to visit Emilee and Colt. We had a really nice time, but the best part by far is the kick Andrew gets from Sarah calling Andrew "Buddy". She was never asked to do this, but Andrew says Buddy a lot, so I guess Sarah figured that was his name. Anyway, it is super cute. Thanks for letting us visit- we had a great time!

Happy Birthday

To my favorite sister-in-law on the Ferge side: Happy Birthday Tara!!!

After

It's done! Well... nearly. All we have to do is paint, so for those of you who don't know us too well, it will be done within the next two months, probably. It always amazes me how fast Michael works. This was done over the weekend, to be more specific, in about 5-6 hours. We want to give a shout out to Andrew's brothers; Charlie and James, and especially Michael. Thank you so much! We also want to thank Michael's family for letting us steal him for the weekend! On a side note: Don't worry, the guys were able to fit in 2 rounds of golf this weekend as well.

Before

Michael is coming!!!! For those of you who don't know, Michael is Andrew's oldest brother and he has mad construction skills. Exibit A: Our kitchen. Anyway, this time Michael is coming to build us a desk for our office space. Of course, the guys will find time to fit in a few rounds of golf. Pictured here is the "Before Shot" or as I like to call it, Michael's blank canvas.

Hi-Def

It's official, we're in hi-def. Yesterday, Andrew and I ditched the cable company and subscribed to Direct TV. I had the best time last year making fun of my brother, Chris (pictured here), when we were visiting and he was showing us his "hi-def". He kept flipping between two channels, one in hi-def and one not. I kept saying (on purpose) that I could clearly see a difference and that the one not in hi-def was a much better picture. He spent the next 5 minutes showing me the difference, wanting me to see. It was for that reason, I thought it was so funny when the guy hooking up the direct tv kept flipping back and forth between "regular" ESPN and ESPN in hi-def. He was a lot more impressed with it than we were. Anyway, feel free to come by and check it out! It might blow your mind.

Big Pupils

I can't help myself, I love this picture. We both went to see the eye doctor on the same day and had our pupils dilated. Andrew, being a true gentleman, drove us home (an hour away). After we arrived safely, we took this pic. ***Notice that Andrew's eyes aren't the same.***

PG-13???

If this is PG-13, I wish I was 12. What's up with the nudity and bad language in PG-13 movies? I thought they were safe. Anyway, here's one of my favorite websites: www.screenit.com Scroll all the way to the bottom and then click "No Thanks" to enter the website. This will let you read all about any movie before you watch it. They are very specific about what you will see and hear. Use it. Love it. Now, chip-chop-chip!

The Girly Quilt

One of my old friends just had her 6th baby. Well, she's not that old, but I have known her for a few years. :) She had 5 boys and this was her first girl. I enlisted Andrew's mom's help, and let's face it, she did all the work. I love the quilt and just sent it off yesterday. Thank you, mom!!

Welcome to the Jungle.... or Desert

Hello Friends, family, and fans,

We are the Hughes'. We live in Morenci, AZ and halfway enjoy it. (Andrew does and I don't so much- not a fan of the high temps.) We have been married for 5 years this December. We have been in Morenci for 2 years now, the longest we have stayed in any location. Andrew loves his job and so do I, or rather the lack thereof. We love to travel and visit our families and friends. My favorite vacation spot is Copper Lake, WI, Andrew's is any golf course, anywhere with decent weather.
