THANKSGIVING 2010

I can't get this song out of my mind...

GIVE THANKS 
WITH A GRATEFUL HEART 
GIVE THANKS

TO THE HOLY ONE

GIVE THANKS

FOR HE'S GIVEN

JESUS CHRIST, HIS SON

AND NOW LET THE WEAK SAY

I AM STRONG

LET THE POOR SAY

I AM RICH

BECAUSE OF WHAT

THE LORD HAS DONE

FOR US 

Unfortunately, we live in a world of "I want more."  Every little bit, I have to remind myself of how rich I truly am and be grateful.  How can you not be thankful with little munchkins running around everywhere!  

Little Miss @ Preschool Thanksgiving Feast

***Check out how her feathers are on the side of her head...so cute!  

They were going everywhere...such an original and totally walks to the beat of a different drum!

Thanksgiving Day

***Believe it or not...this is the only photo I took on Thanksgiving...arg!  

Hate it when I am having so much fun that I don't take any pictures :)

BIRD IN A CAGE

I read this amazing poem in college about a woman that was full of life.  She married a man that loved her just for that, but over time he began to squash her personality.  The poem compared this woman to a bird being caged up and not free to be herself.

I am super blessed to be married to a man that LOVES me for ME!  Naturally, I want that for those I love!

Hope and pray that this will be the only time that my little birdies are caged up...I want them to be free little birdies.

What Just Doesn't MIX?

My parents came for Thanksgiving.  Little Miss was obsessed with sleeping down in the basement with her Poppy.  As you know grandparents are much more relaxed about bedtime.  Not only did Little Miss get to watch TV while going to sleep, but she also got to play with CARS...

ON HER HEAD...

AROUND MIDNIGHT...

THAT IS RIGHT...

CARS AND HAIR JUST DON'T MIX!

Fun Things You Can Do With A MAC...

AND your Family!!

Did you notice a little certain someone that is in most of the photos?  

Little Man totally digs the Photo Booth.  

Arrival of a new Little Miss

I CANNOT leave out our newest Little Miss.  I am still working on a blog name for her.  Wish I could hit the LOVE button every time I see her!  She melts my heart.  You will be seeing a lot of her because she is my very first niece.

SPORTS

Little Man is still involved in basketball, but also loves football and soccer too.  He also got to be a "ball boy" for the our local high school.  He loved doing this and the older boys are really great with him.  I borrowed this photo from a nearby photography.  Doesn't he look so grown up?    

Guess what being a ball boy for the football team means?  

Our Little Man wants to play too, but his momma just isn't sure about that!  

Halloween 2010

As usual, I am totally playing catch up.  Sometimes I feel like I am so far behind that I wonder what is the point of this blog.  I have also had a bit of writer's block as of late.  Just don't feel I have the creativity of others or the time to make everything look the way I want.  Then my kids do something adorable or I look at pictures of my kids and think that I have to keep a record of all the cuteness taking place in our home.  I figure my family that is not on Facebook would like to see too!     

Halloween 2010

This year, Little Man was Kevin Durant and Little Miss was the BLING Candy Fairy.  I found Little Man's jersey in Oklahoma...they are pretty to come by in that state.  Wonder why?  We love Mr. Durant in our house...seems like a good guy!  Our fairy's little shirt was put together by a friend in Oklahoma and I made the tutu.  She carried a little "bling" purse with RING POPS.  She got to give them to her friends.  

I LOVE the shot of the back of the kids...so fun!  The shot of Little Miss dancing and Little Man pretend shooting is a window into our daily life.  All BOY and all GIRL!    

Our nephews and the Baldridge family went trick or treating with us.  Our neighborhood was CrAzY!  I promise that people came by BUS loads.  I think Brian counting like 300 kids that stopped by our house.  AHHHH!!!

The Baldridge family had a Halloween party after trick or treating.  It was a ton of fun!  We got to see our old neighbors...Miss K and Mr. A.  I love these kids like they are my own.  Mr. A was an old man and really played up to the camera...I totally didn't even know he was doing it.  FUNNY!  

READY or NOT!

Basketball Season is Here!  

Just like always, this little boy is loving every minute of it!

How do I LOG in?

It has been a while...so long that I couldn't remember which email I used to set up this account.  Say what?

What I can remember is the blast that Little Man and I had our double date with our friends.  Our boys are growing up so fast!  Check them out a few years back and now...they keep growing up so fast.
