Happy Thanksgiving

You never relize how special family is until they aren't there. I know I have my times I don't get along with my sisters (that's part of being an individual),but there hasn't been a greater blessing for me his Thanksgiving than having my sister (who doesn't live nearby) and her whole family with us this year. Hearing the kids run and play... that's 19 total. I've had a busy and fun week. Time defiently flying by to fast. I know my grubs are going to miss having the big boys to play with and my little blossom having so many hands ready to spoil her. That's all I have to say for now.. It's a wonderful Thanksgiving, I have so much to be thankful for.
1. My whole family is together (first time in 7 1/2 yrs.. my wedding)
2. Christ is the center of my heart and home
3. My grubs, blossom and husband are all my dreams and more come true.
4. I have a wonderful church family
5. Not only do I love my family, but I love my in-laws : )
6. New friends that I've gotten to know over the past few months
7. I have a place to keep me warm at night

I have so many... Anthony said he is thankful this year for.
His Church
His Family
and the games he plays at Awana so he can get his energy out before he needs to say his verses.

Pictures Made

Well, this Wednesday we went and got pictures made. It's been way to long. Here are a few I thought I'd share. Aren't they just adorable. Anthony has the baseball, Alex the tractor and Avery the blocks.. of course Valarie is all in pink.. And look at those eyes!!!! Enjoy.

We had a friend who does photography take our pictures she does such an awesome job. Here's a link to her photography site.... Anyone needing pictures???

Valarie & Chester

I just had to share another picture of Valarie with her cat Chester. Or maybe she belongs to Chester.
Anyway you look at it, they sure are cute together.

3 Piggy Opera

In September Anthony got the privilage of being in his first Opera. He had 2 weeks of rehersals
and on the last Saturday had 2 performance. He was a tired little boy full of excietment when it
was all said and done. And he eargerly awaits the next opportunity to be part of ArtsView performance. Wish everyone could have seen him. He did a great job. He also had a crush on the young girl behind him in the 2nd picture. You can see her also on the far right in the first picture. Enjoy.

Feeding the cats

AHH.. the things little boys do.. a few days ago I opened a can of tuna for a few cats. Avery decieded he need to help them share and so he got his head down there too, and switched the can from cat to cat so they could "Take Turns" Sharing can be such fun.

A little bit of rain

This was taken last month in October, Just before the Yamboree. Terry and I had promised the boys we would have a picnic at the park and they could play. Afterall we dropping off my photo and Anthony's yam anyways.... Well it started to sprinkle. There's a covered pavallian so no problem. The rain lets up and we tell the boys they can play. When it starts raining harder they kept right on playing. No storm just a good rain. Guess it's one way to take a shower and do laundry. LOL

Who Needs a Blanket?

During nap time, Valarie had a few extras

Keeping warm, no need for a blanket today.

Cheester & Oreo both thought a nap would be nice too.
