Busy, Busy, Busy!

Sorry I haven't posted ANYTHING this week. You would not believe me if I told you how many times I have repacked for my trip to Mayan Families and Casa Hogar Feliz orphanage. I did end up having to take some school items out. I will have to ship them with the next Mayan Families shipment. I am finally finished. I WILL NOT REPACK, I WILL NOT REPACK! I have to say that over and over in my head because the kids and I are going to Louisville tonight and Louisville+Mammaw's=Shopping! It wasn't a planned visit just worked out that way.

Picture of the kids and Grandma the night before Thanksgiving! Grandma is doing her best to teach the kids how to cook. She knows they have no luck getting a cooking skill from me. LOL!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am very thankful for all of you in my life. I have a wonderful family and many great friends. I could not be happier! Well, maybe if I lost about 30 pounds, I might be a little happier! I don't have any new photos to post but I will have a boat load after visiting family and friends this weekend! I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

I did find a cute turkey!

This is another bowling picture from Saturday night.

As you can see Miss Independent Rylee is not interested in any assistance from Big Brother.

She is a bit annoyed with his persistence as well.

Family Weekend - Saturday night

Wyatt, Rylee and I hung out at the house all morning coloring, playing with play-doh, reading books and watching movies (Wyatt's favorite). Daddy had gone out early to help a friend put a drop ceiling in his basement. By the time he got home it was lunch then nap time. We told the kids we would take them bowling after we ate supper.
We had so much fun! Wyatt did so well.

Look at him go!!!
He actually bowled through 2 complete games.


Rylee played a little more than half of the first game and she was done.
She would rather dance.

Sorry about the video. I have got to either learn how rotate the video or stop recording that way!

Family Weekend - Friday night

We had a weekend to ourselves! Hard to believe NO PLANS!
So, Friday night Craig and I took Wyatt and Rylee out to dinner. This time I got to pick "Applebee's" I love their Santa Fe Chicken Salad. Then we went to the Mall for the kids to get out some of their Ya Ya's. Craig does NOT like the Mall and hates shopping, so it is a big sacrifice for him. But you can see how irritated he is about the whole thing on his face. UNTIL, we got to the Christmas store. We were all looking around at all the Christmas ornaments and decorations when Craig spotted something. It would go Perfect in his new office at work. He had an excellent spot for it and he had to have it... It was only $12.00, so he bought it. What was it you ask? A little concrete bull dog with his leg hiked up like he is peeing! MY HUSBAND!?! Got to love him! At least it changed his attitude while we were at the mall.

The "FAKE" pout photos! I think Rylee may be our official "Actor of the Family"
I try to get the picture before I start laughing and they stop.

Holiday picture time again!

It's that time of year again Holiday Photo Time. We have our appointment the day after Thanksgiving. I like to get the kids to match for photos. I am having a bit of trouble this year getting started. I have a couple more weekends so wish me luck.

Here are my cuties photos from last year.





I can not believe how much they have grown. It so sad!

TOO MUCH CANDY!!!!

You would not believe all the candy my kids got for Halloween! After I took the pictures below, I went through it all and picked out the treats we would be keeping. Popcorn, pretzels, gummy's, crackers and such. Then I let the kids pick 5 things each and we put them in a baggie for later. The rest I will take to work and give to the carpenters and mechanics. They will eat anything.

I had such a time trying to get the kids to BOTH look at me instead of the candy... Not easy!

"Rylee, Look at Mommy!"

"OK, Wyatt! Look at Mommy!"

"Smile, Good! Rylee over here, look at Mommy!"

"Say Cheese!'

That's as good as it gets, I guess!
