Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a pretty good one here. The kids enjoyed a nice relaxing day. They just played around the house. I got them to go outside and take a picture this afternoon. The sun was out and it was actually a little warm, well in the low 50's.

I then for the first time tried my timer so I could get all five of us in the picture. You wouldn't now that this family even had a Mom. It seems like I'm never in a picture. Maybe because I'm not really wanting my picture taken, see the way I'm kind of hiding in the back? But I guess the kids might want to see pictures of me someday!

Here we are just getting ready to eat. If you can believe this everything actually turned out this year! I usually have something go wrong and this year even my stuffing turned out! The turkey was very moist and good. We ended up getting a 18 pound one this year because we couldn't find any smaller ones by the time we ended up buying ours. But I guess we are going to have some leftover turkey sandwiches come tomorrow for lunch and then turkey dinner again tomorrow night. Then from there turkey soup and so on!!! Turkey for a few more days! I hope the kids like turkey! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! We sure missed seeing everyone!

Growning up!

I was going through some old pictures on the computer and stumbled across some pictures of the boys when they were little. The top one is of Ty. He must be around a year old here. I love Ty's little smile in this picture. It's hard to believe that Devin is now 15! Where has the time gone! This has to be one of my most favorite pictures of him. He was such a wonderful little boy and still is, just not so little anymore! He gets taller and taller every day!

Christmas Advent Calendar

Can you see the excitement on the kids faces! Grandma Bettie and Grandpa Steve sent them the much awaited for Advent calendar! They all love this every year! Emmie has seen this at the store and the boys told her that Grandma usually sends them one and sure enough yesterday in the mail there it was! They have it first thing in the morning starting December first! Not a day goes by that they don't remember! Thanks Grandma Bettie and Grandpa Steve! The kids love it!!!! Now we know Christmas is just right around the corner! Sorry about Emmie's wonderful pretty hair!!!! We spent the whole day at home because it was so cold out and of course pink eye made it's way to Ty so he was at home all day. Hopefully it stops with him!

Sunny Sunday

It was such a nice sunny day that Tim decided that he and the kids should get the leaves up in the front yard. There really wasn't all that many leaves, well enough to fill up the yard bin and a yard bag. So, I of course thought I should go out and take a few photos! Leaves and fall photos! What a great idea! Well, except for the kids complaining as I'm trying to take their picture that the sun is in their eyes and they would all rather be in the house doing other things! So, that lasts all of five minutes!

Emmie got a hair full of leaves! Devin missed the bin and got her instead!

Little Miss Ham herself. She really needs a haircut! I'm thinking of getting her hair cut off a bit. I'm trying to convince her of it and she's just not going for it. Not all of it just maybe below her shoulders a bit. But her bangs really need it. I know everyone says that you should just let them grow out......but I just can't do it!

I finally got them to sit for one photo and I think it turned out okay. They are all trying to smile!

Ty's Thanksgiving Feast

This is a picture of Ty's project that he had to do for his America month. He is really into Abraham Lincoln so he wanted to do make the log cabin that he was born in, which just happens to be here in Kentucky. His is the one with the white roof and the brown house. Well, the only log cabin that you see. They have it displayed in the school just as you walk in the front door! We just had to get a picture of that!

Here is Ty and Emmie in line for the Thanksgiving Feast at Ty's school. As you can see by Emmie's eyes she had pink eye! I wasn't able to go to the lunch because I was working at Mom's Day Out that day! It was a little depressing! That was the first time in all four years that I have missed his Thanksgiving lunch. Tim was able to go so I don't think Ty really minded all that much. I think I was more upset about it the anybody else was. I did find out that day that as of January 1st I will have a permanent position! That will be nice for both Emmie and I. No more waiting for the phone to ring on Tuesday and Thursday mornings! I do love the class I will be working in. The kids are wonderful and the day goes by fast. Look at those big swelled up eyes! They are

alot better now!

Silly picture~

I took this picture of the kids before Halloween and thought they looked kind of silly. Emmie is in her little ballerina outfit. She runs around the house in that for a few days and then forgets about it.

It's hard to believe that's it's already November! Christmas is fast approaching! It seems like it comes faster and faster every year!

Just a few more!

Here are a few more pictures from last night. Here is Devin with some of his candy from the next door neighbors. He didn't go trick-or-treating this year, but they still gave him some candy. That was nice of them. He really liked getting some. He also gets what Emmie and Ty don't like.

One last picture of Tim , Ty and Emmie. The kids had a great time. Now I just need to keep them away from their bag of candy today!
