OUR BABIES

Emma is such an animal lover! We now have 2 cats and Lucy. The gray cat showed up at the house as we were moving in, and we just couldn't turn it away! He and Lucy have become pretty good friends. Poor Sassy still prefers to be left alone, so we just let her do her own thing. As far as the other 2, they are right under us all of the time!

THANKSGIVING IN TENNESSEE

After celebrating Thanksgiving with Jason's family, we ventured to Tennessee for the Thanksgiving holidays! We had such a great weekend with my family! Emma was so excited to get to play with her cousin, Seth! We shopped, ate, played, and then ate some more! Even though it was soooo cold, we allowed the kids to play outside briefly each day! Emma had a blast climbing trees, rolling in the leaves, and of course riding horses. I have a feeling she is going to love having a brother around!
Oh yeah, we watched a couple of good football games too! WAAAARRRRRR EAGLE!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

WE HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING! WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR: OUR FAMILIES, OUR BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY CHILDREN, OUR FRIENDS, GOOD HEALTH, GOOD JOBS, WARM HOMES AND THE LIST GOES ON! GOD HAS BLESSED ALL OF US BEYOND ANYTHING THAT WE DESERVE! I THANK GOD DAILY FOR ALL OF THE BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE!

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO READ THIS, YOU ARE A FRIEND AND A BLESSING IN MY LIFE!

THANKSGIVING FEAST

Emma's preschool class hosted a Thanksgiving Feast for all of the family to attend. Emma was so excited that someone other than mom would be able to attend with her. She was very glad to see her Daddy, Mimi, and Nanna! Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Walls do such a wonderful job with these children. It was such a joy to watch them sing songs of Thanksgiving and to see how much they had learned about the very 1st Thanksgiving Feast! They were all so cute dressed up as Pilgrims and Indians!
They served turkey, muffins, nuts, popcorn, grapes, apples, raisins and juice in order to show the children what the 1st Thanksgiving Feast was like. Needless to say, we had to make a trip to Los Arcos following the feast!

IT'S A BOY!!!

As most of you know, we had our ultrasound yesterday, and we are indeed having a little boy! If we don't change our minds between now and delivery, his name will be Brady Alexander!!

EMMA AND HUDSON

Jason's cousin's family from Hawaii have been here for most of the year. We haven't had the opportunity to visit with them much, but when we do get together, Emma and Hudson have such a great time together! We can't wait until they are back closer so we can visit more often.

SLEEPOVER

Emma had the Glassco girls over a few weeks ago for a spend the night party! The girls had such a great time! Little girls are sooooo silly!!!! Mckinley ended up not spending the night, and it took Emma and Macy forever to go to sleep, but isn't that what sleepover's are all about???

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Emma really enjoyed Halloween this year. She had several different costumes, but chose to be a vampire! We trick or treated at a few places and then came back home to see what was happening in our neighborhood. We had been told by our neighbor that this was the place to be on Halloween. If you saw from the pictures, he went all out in decorating, and by dark, he even had more things than that. The neighborhood was full of people, kids and adults. They were coming in by the truckloads!! It was absolutely wild!! Emma thought it was the coolest thing ever!!
They said that last year they handed out candy to over 400 kids, and I'm sure they probably did that or better this year! I will now know what to expect for the upcoming years!!

CONGRATULATIONS APRIL!!!

One of my very best friends from High School, April Lusk, is getting married in November. I attended a shower for her a couple of weekends ago. It was so wonderful to see some of the girls that I haven't seen in a long while. We had the best time laughing and talking about things both from the past and present.

I am so excited for April! She has been so patient in trying to find the right man for her life. I believe that her patience has paid off and God has blessed her with the perfect man!!! She is soooo happy, and she just glows from the inside out!

What a wonderful day!!

Jessica Wylie, April Lusk, Melissa Shell, Jennifer Thomas

We were the best of friends through high school and college. We have all gone our separate ways since then, but it is always nice when we get a chance to be together!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDISON!!

Addison is one of Emma's friends from preschool! She had a costume party for her birthday/Halloween! She is such a cute little girl and her parents are extremely sweet!
The party was so much fun! All of the kids had a great time!

Emma, Grace Ann, and Addison

SILLY GIRLS!!!
Emma got a set of vampire teeth from the goody back that she received at the party! She was so excited about this. She still wears them on occasion!

EMMA'S 1ST FIELD TRIP

We went on a field trip with Emma's preschool a few weeks ago. They visited the city fire department, police department, mayor's office and a local branch of Regions Bank. The kids loved the fire and police departments, but the other two were not too interesting to them. I am so thankful that I get the opportunity to be with Emma during these special events.
Grace Ann and McKinley are 2 of Emma's closest friends. It is so neat that Grace Ann and Emma go to school together, because we are also neighbors. The 2 of them are almost inseparable!!! They are too cute!

HUNTER'S BAND DEBUT

My nephew, Hunter(2nd from left), is in the Jr. High band this year at his school. His first performance was to march in the Homecoming Parade. We were all so excited to see him marching! Their band was/is REALLY GOOD! It was quite surprising considering that they all just started playing.
