Geaux Tigers!!

Thanksgiving weekend was kind of quiet around our house this year. We didn't have company and we didn't go anywhere. Thursday morning, Heath and Austin went deer hunting while Kamden and I put up Christmas decorations and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. Thursday night, we surprised the boys with tickets to the LSU-AR football game. So, Friday we spent the day in Fayetteville at the ballgame. Despite the freezing weather, we had a lot of fun and, of course, to make it even better, LSU won!! Now the boys can't wait to go to a game in Death Valley!

Here are some of our pictures from the game. We were at the top in the visitor's section so they aren't that great.

Fun Weekend

The boys and I went to Tulsa to visit Heath over the weekend. While we were there we got to catch up with some of our friends we miss so much. Saturday, Austin went to his first OSU football game with his friend, Luke.


Heath and Kamden spent the day together. They went to Bass Pro Shop and watched Wreck-It Ralph at the theater.


And, I got to spend the day with my friend, Jocelyn shopping. Saturday night we all met at Los Cabos for dinner and spent some time visitng at the Chamberlain's house afterwards.

Me & my friends. We couldn't get all the kiddos still long enought to get a group picture of them :)

Merry Christmas To Me!

I got an early Christmas on Saturday...a new car!! It's a 2013 Toyota Sequoia Platinum edition. It is pearl white with tan leather interior. After driving my Expedition for almost 9 years we decided it was time to upgrade.

I love my new car!

Kamden's School Picture

Kamden's pictures came in last week. So here is his official 1st grade school picture:

Don't you just love that fake smile :)

Austin's school hasn't had theirs taken yet so I'll post his when I get them.

Baseball

Saturday was Austin's last baseball game for the fall season. They played a double header and won both games resulting in their team being UNDEFEATED for the season!! Austin played really well. He hit a homerun and a triple, he pitched good and he made a great diving catch outside of third base line. He got another game ball which makes his third for this season.



The homerun hit!

HOMERUN!!

Kamden spends his time at the ball park by playing in the dirt.

Now that baseball has come to an end, in a few weeks Kamden will be starting basketball.

The Accident

Friday started out as a great day. The boys were out of school, Heath came home early from spending the week in Tulsa and we were all just hanging out. Heath decided to wash my car and I got the golf cart out for Austin to drive around the neighborhood. We were each doing our own thing and then it happened...Kamden had his first motor vehicle accident! He wrecked the golf cart! Austin was watching him out his window of his room and he came to me and said "Momma, Kamden just wrecked the golf cart and knocked down Mr. Brad's mailbox!" By the time I got downstairs, Kamden was in the house almost in tears and scared to death. Thankfully, it didn't hurt him. The golf cart is ok but the mailbox... not so much.

Heath talked to the neighbor and told him we'd pay for it to be fixed. He wasn't upset about it. Last week, his daughter did the same thing to the brick columns at the entrance of our subdivision with her car.

Why was a 6 year old driving the golf cart alone, you ask? Because his father gave him permission! Heath's response was "it was just up our dead end street and I thought you had let him drive it before." Umm, NO! I barely let Austin drive without me and he's 10.

So, chalk that up as a lesson learned. As my Paw Paw Teet always said 'those bought lessons are the best ones".

According to Kamden, "their mailbox should have been in their yard!" LOL

Kamden's Field Trip

Thursday, Kamden had a field trip to the Arkansas Frontier in Quitman, AR. It was a pumpkin patch/pioneer village. They had a good time and it was beautiful weather. While they were there, they got to dig for dinosaur eggs, go on a hayride, learn about the indians, see a one-room schoolhouse, pick a pumpkin and many more things. It was a full day of FUN!

Kamden and the donkey.

They also got to pan for gold nuggets.

Kamden found a quartz crystal in his 'pan'!

Learning about the one-room schoolhouse.

Learning how to milk a cow.

Grinding corn.

Did any of you have these when you were little? These were some of the toys the children had back in the 'old days'.

The boys in the teepee.

Happy Halloween

Halloween was a busy day. Austin and Kamden both had parties at school.

Kamden and his buddy, Jacob, at the party.

I didn't go to Austin's party because they were both at the same time. Maybe for the Christmas party, I'll go to his.

That night, we went to church for a fall festival. After we left church, the boys trick or treated in our neighborhood.

Kamden chose to be a LA State Penitentiary prisoner for Halloween. Ever since we went to the Angola Prison Rodeo in LA a few weekends ago, he has been very interested in prisoners.

Austin and Keaton were TX Rangers.

Austin and his girlfriend, Jessica, the nerd.

Checking out their loot.
