Special Award

Austin received the Student Of The Week award on Friday. They present the award each Friday in the cafeteria during lunch time. Obviously they do not let the parents know about the award so I wasn't there to see him get it but here is his picture after the fact.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

We woke up this morning to... SNOW!!!! The kids had to go to school and it was almost all melted when they got home but it was beautiful while it lasted.

Our house

In the backyard.


This is the view from the top of the hill/mountain by our house.

This is just an old barn I passed by taking the boys to school. I thought it was pretty.

Yum-O

Saturday night, Kamden and I decided to bake some cookies while Heath & Austin watched the LSU game.

Kamden had to 'sample' the Reese's peanut butter chips.

Nobody can bake cookies without licking the beaters.


So serious!

He's Back!!!!

Norman! Oh how we've missed our little scout elf, Norman. He came back from the North Pole last week and this year he has been a little mischeivious with some of his 'hiding' spots. :)

He had a little fun with the toliet paper in Austin's bathroom one night.

Thankful and Blessed

We were so blessed this Thanksgiving to have some of my family come and visit. We, as always, had a great time. I didn't get too many pictures of the weekend (we were too busy shopping, I guess). Here are a few of the pics I did get from Thanksgiving day.

Nanny Sharon started the day getting her exercise on the trampoline with the boys.

Kamden spent his money Maw Maw gave him on a kaleidoscope. When Nanny looked through it she saw Santa at the North Pole but for some reason Kamden couldn't see him. :)

The Turkey Basters!



Thank you Lord for such great memories of another Thanksgiving!!

Learning to Read

Kamden can read!! One of my favorite things about watching the boys grow up is seeing them learn to read. The smiles on their faces when they 'get it' is absolutley priceless!! We have been working on sight words since the summer so this week I decided to pull out the ole "Dick and Jane" book. Kamden was SO excited that he 'could read' and now that is all he wants to do. I hope that attitude doesn't change but I'm sure it will. :)

Trick or Treat

Yesterday was a 'sugar-filled' day. Austin and Kamden both had parties at school. Austin didn't really want me to go to his party (imagine that!) so I went to Kamden's (at least he still loves me!) So they both came home with a bag full of candy and party favors. Last night, Heath took them trick or treating on the golf cart around the neighborhood. They had a blast and they got so much candy they had to come home to empty their baskets before they could go to the other side of the street. I stayed home and passed out candy. It was a little too chilly for me outside plus I enjoyed the peace and quiet. :)

My 2 favorite trick or treaters!!

Can you say CAVITIES?!?! (I better start looking for a new dentist NOW.)

Checkin' out their loot! :)
