Happy Thanksgiving!

Parker is the middle of saying "No" to the picture.


Jordan was pretty excited about eating.

I was really excited about my jello. Pretzels on the bottom, cream cheese and Cool Whip in the center, strawberry jello with strawberries on top. I carefully made it, following the recipe to the "T". I put the lid on, put in my frig and didn't open it until time to eat. As you can see from the picture, I was mortified. The jello seeped down leaving the strawberries on top. The pretzels were soggy. Every one said it tasted good, but I was bummed. The next picture is what we found while eating dinner. I guess little Gavin (2 years old) liked the jello so much he thought he would spice up the mashed potatoes. What am I going to do when my boys can think of and do things like this.




Dessert was a hit with Jordan. He couldn't get enough of the real whipped cream.



We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Gingerbread houses at the end of the day topped it off. Our boys thought they were in heaven.

Cute times

Finish work in our house

Back in July we painted all of our house--every room except the laundry room and closets. Finally we are finishing the final touches. Crown molding in the living room is finished. The bead board in the dining area is finished but I need to get decor on the walls. Bedrooms will be finished this week and the bathroom will be finished this week. I also hope to finish my exciting decorative wall this week. Stay tuned for more home excitement.

The Flintstones

The magic of holidays has returned to my life. Watching the boys trick or treat was one of the cutest things ever. Thankfully Parker and Jordan don't know what candy is. They just thought they were getting cool new toys. They marched up to those doors and knew just what to do. Jordan, especially loved taking handfuls. He just kept sticking his hand in for more. The funniest was a bowl full of Smarties. Jordan just couldn't decide which one to take. Auntie Leslie flew in from Texas. And we had so much fun trick or treating with cousins Gavin and Rylee. Gavin could often be found sitting on the drive way trying to open his candy.








Just before bath time I let the boys sit on their little potty. This picture was too cute to pass up.


They are into shoes now!! Every day, most of the day, they are wearing my shoes around. The boots are a little difficult but they are really good at the tennis shoes.
