Ethan's Christmas Tree

Jeremy set up the tree today and told the kids to add the ornaments. The big boys didn't want to help, so Ethan did most of it himself!

9 MONTHS!!

I'm a day late taking Olivia's month picture since we were out of town. She is sitting up well now and I have a feeling she will be on the move soon!

Michael's Birthday at Michaels

We went to Michael's birthday party at the Michael's Craft Store in Olive Branch today. The kids (and adults) made things with Perler Beads. I had never seen them before, it was a lot of fun.

Bass Pro

Jeremy, Caleb, and Ethan went over to Memphis to do some Black Friday shopping at the Bass Pro that recently opened in the Pyramid. They said it was more than a store, it was an attraction.

Thanksgiving Dinner

The family was scattered all over the house eating, so I snapped a picture of my mom and Mamaws table. I love that we always go to Arkansas for Thanksgiving (when someone doesn't get sick!)

Fisher Price Farm

My mom saved all of our Fisher Price toys from when I was little. I love seeing my kids play with the same toys that I did. :)

Little Pilgrim

A Little Pilgrim got off the bus today. I love that he wore it home instead of stuffing it in his backpack. :)

Sleeping on the job!

I put Olivia in her jumper while I was embroidering some stuff today. The hum of the machine put her right to sleep.

PSAGI (Pe-saw-gi)

The boys taught us a new way to play ping pong. You play with several people and go in order hitting the ball. The difference is.. there's no net, it has to hit the floor before you hit it, and you can play it off the walls. It's a lot of fun, we've been playing a lot lately.

3 Amigos

Ethan played Anderson and DeLyla's team in basketball today. I wish Lucas had been in the picture, he's on Ethan's team, then it would have been all 4 of the neighborhood kids.

Another Deer

Caleb went hunting today and got another deer. He now has 3 or 4 that are bigger than his dad's biggest deer. LOL!!

Andrew's Art

Andrew made these ceramic fish in his art class. I think he did a great job! He's keeping the little one and gave me the big one. We both put them on our night stands. :)

Caleb's Class Ring

Hard to believe that we ordered Caleb's class ring today!! The years have gone by so fast, how is already old enough for this!!! Isn't it pretty?

Bumper Cars

Lucas, the little boy that lives across the street that is also 5 came over to play tonight. They had a good time playing bumper cars in the driveway.

Lost Tooth!

Ethan lost his first tooth tonight. He was wresting with Matthew and a tooth that was already wiggling got knocked out. I'm not ready for Ethan to have big teeth... why can't he stay little forever!?!?

Little Helper

Jeremy and Bubba are working on the irrigation today and Ethan jumped right in to help.

Anderson's Birthday

Anderson turned 7 and asked Ethan and DeLyla to go with him to Kids n Play to celebrate. I love that Ethan has such good friends in the neighborhood. :)

Bonfire at the Syner's

The twins went to the Syner's house for a bonfire tonight to celebrate Cliffy's birthday.

Penguin Suit

Jeremy took the boys to have their tuxes fitted for Rob's wedding next month. Isn't this little guy handsome?

Giant Hole

Irrigation is going in this week, so Jeremy dug this giant hole to get things started for our friend, Bubba, that is coming over to do it.

Pulling Up

I've been using a laundry basket as Olivia's playpen while I work. She surprised me today by pulling up on the side. I guess it's time to come up with a different plan so she doesn't tip it over.

Bows

I still can't believe I have a baby that wears bows!!! Love this sweet baby girl!!

Laundromat!

Our washer broke a few days ago and we have to wait for a part to come in for the guy to fix it, so we brought our mounds of laundry to the laundromat. We did 12 loads in record time!

Surprise!!! Jeremy's 40!!!

What happened to the young man I married??? How can he be 40?!?!? I threw a surprise party for Jeremy tonight. We had a house full of people. I couldn't have pulled it off without help from his parents. His dad kept him away from the house until it was time for the surprise and his mom made all the food. :)

Fancy Friday

Caleb and his friends have been dressing nice on Fridays and calling it Fancy Friday. Today, they all decided to wear bow ties. :)

Tied Down

Ethan would not stay in his seat to do his homework today and I got tired of chasing him down to come back to finish, so I strapped him down with a couple of belts. He loved homework at first, but I think it's gotten old and he'd rather be playing.

Poor LITTLE Matthew

Andrew is taking off without Matthew!! It's so strange because Matthew has been taller than Andrew their whole life!! I think he will pass him back up once he hits puberty too.

Minnie Mouse

I decided to put Olivia's costume back on her for a picture since the one on Halloween wasn't very good. It was a chilly night, so I attached the ears that I made to this hat. Isn't she cute!

New Bedroom Furniture!!

13 years ago we upgraded our bed from a queen to a king and I have been wanting new furniture since then since we only had a frame for the bed. Jeremy kept putting me off by saying, we will get it when we move (every time!). I finally got tired of waiting so I bought our bedroom set with money that I have saved up from sewing. Now the room just needs curtains, wall art, and a rug! lol.

Matthew's Turn

Jeremy took Matthew hunting yesterday morning (I had to post the Halloween picture for yesterday), they didn't see any deer either. Maybe next time!
