My Birthday Party

Thank you Jeremy for my wonderful Birthday party. I got a cocanut bra, as a hint at what my Birthday gift was. Even after looking a the itinerary I still couldn't guess.

Sorry Makayla, NO KIDS ALLOWED.

Gingerbread Houses!!!!!

I LOVE DOING GINGERBREAD HOUSES WITH KIDS!!!!!!!!

The Louisville Zoo

We had so much fun at the Zoo. The weather was prefect, there was only like 20 other people in the whole place, and we only stayed 3 hours. How much more perfect could it have been?

The funnest part of the Zoo was feeding the birds, our kids where scared to death, of course and choose not to participate. Aren't the birds beautiful?

Christmas in Kentucky

We are having so much fun in Louisville for Christmas. The first few days it was way too cold (I was thinking it was a mistake to have come here) but then it warmed up and it's been great.

Here's a few pictures from Christmas. Makayla got a skateboard from Santa, Isaac got bionicles, and Jackson got a kicking tee.

I got soooo spoiled this Christmas. I feel so unworthy. My husband got me a bike, a canon rebal digital SLR, and a trip to Cabo San Lucas:) Can you say "what?". I love each of my gifts and can't wait to use them all. THANK YOU HONEY!!

UNO

Jeremy bought uno cards the other day and the kids love it. It's nice that they're getting older and can play games.

We leave for KY on Sunday so we're going to open our gifts on Sat. before we leave. That way we don't have to pack them up.

Even when I think I'm ready for the holidays and I simplify as much as possible, it's still so stressful. I love Christmas, but it's a lot of work.

Have a very Merry Christmas!! We love you all.

We may or may not do cards this year. It's looking like time is slipping away so probably not.

ChRiStMaS !!!!!!!

I was so excited to decorate this year, because I bought a bunch of some after Christmas for this year. I remember it being a lot more stuff though. So I put it all in the front room and entry so at least one room in the home looks Christmasy.

I just got back from visiting family in Kennewick. It was so much fun. I was so sick while I was there and still am, but that aside it was nice to relax at Thanksgiving with the Family. Rochelle was looking great. And Kendall's boys are getting so big. She's such a good mom. She's always been good with kids. I had so much fun with a few of my friends from high school. They're as hot as ever and we still know how to be annoyly crazy.

We get to go to KY this year for Christmas. I'm so excited. It's been two years since we were back there. Makayla is probably the only one who remembers Grammy's place. This will be the first time since Makayla was 5 months old that all of us have been home at the same time. Do I feel a Kodak moment coming on.

HOME SWEET HOME

More Texoma Pics

More pics from the previous post. We had a lot of fun skipping rocks too. Makayla started to get the hang of it.

Hiking at Lake Texoma

I have been wanting to go hiking or something "outdoors" for a while now, so this past Saturday when we were trying to plan something to do, Chauntel suggested that we go to Lake Texoma and find something to do there. She is looking for a place for girls camp also and since it's only a little over an hour away, we packed up the van and went. We were trying to get to a certain State park in Oklahome (half of Lake Texoma is in Texas, the other half Oklahome - hence "texoma" I just figured that one out yesterday)but somehow, we just followed some signs to Lake Texoma and found Eisenhour park which was about 40 minutes closer.
WE HAD A BLAST! We wanted to find some hiking trails and go hiking together and we found some great ones. The trail that we went on followed the bank of the Lake and there were some spots that you could go off the trail a little bit and climb down the "cliffs". We even found a beach that we climbed down a pretty steep rock area only to find out that a little bit down the trail there are some steps down to it!
At first Isaac was too scared for whatever reason to even go to the trail (I did tell him before we went that I hoped to find a bear on the trail so I can fight it), but when we hit our first chance to rock climb, you couldn't stop him. He was scaling these steep climbs and just jumping all over the rocks - making me nervous and proud at the same time. Everyone had a great time. We found some walking sticks for everyone in the woods along the way that the kids used.
Isaac called hiking "traveling" and would say, "Let's travel this way now" or when it was time to go he said, "ok, let's eat in the van, then travel some more". He did not want to go.
As soon as we were leaving, the kids were already planning our next trip back.

Pumkin Patch

This is from Makayla's field trip. My friend watched Jackson so I could go and be there. I don't think I've been on any field trips with Makayla so that was nice. I went to the same place with Isaac last year with his preschool.

I had so much fun being with her and see how she is with all her friends.

Happy Halloween

I love Halloween so much. The only thing I don't like is all the candy:) I guess that's what Halloween is all about. Next year I should throw a Halloween party ,and only give out trinkets. I can't find my camera. So, no pictures from last night:( Makayla was a Southern Bell, Isaac was a Power Ranger, Jackson was a Dragon, I was a Witch, and Jeremy was straight out of the 70's "groovy baby"

If any of you all know, Jeremy has had 3 of his 4 work truck totalled in the last month and the other one had a fender bender. So, that's all of his trucks. Then when he got his new truck, his lovely, responsible wife forgot to put the emergency brake on and it rolled into the neighbor's fence behind us and bent his bumper and put a good dent in the most expensive beautiful fence in the whole neighborhood:( What luck. Jeremy's trucks are really getting hammered this month.

Isaac got his first report card this week:) I was pleased with his score and I'm so proud of how much better he's getting at everything. He really enjoys learning. I'd have to say his coloring has impressed me the most. He's really become quite a great colorer.

I have my life back

BEFORE




AFTER






Oh, I am so happy to be able to cook a meal, send my kids upstairs to play, and not have dust on EVERYTHING. I love my new floors, but it is so hard to have work done. I feel like my life is completely out of sorts.
