Thanksgiving

Its Thanksgiving time! I love this holiday. I love all the food and being able to see family. Its sad, I live within a 50 mile radius of almost all of my family and still don't get to see them that often. This year will be Colton's first Thanksgiving and he doesn't even have any teeth to eat anything. He's almost 9 months old and doesnt have a single tooth. I doubt that will stop him though. I want to end this post by saying what I'm thankful for...I'm thankful for 2 wonderful and healthy kids, a loyal and faithful husband who works hard to allow me to stay home with my babies, but most importantly, I'm thankful to God who gives me all of this. What are you thankful for?

Happy Belated Veteran's Day

Yesterday was Veteran's Day and the 10 year anniversary of my Papa's death. Its hard to believe its been 10 years. My Papa (my mom's dad) was a wonderful man. He was a WWII Vet that loved his country and his family. He was a honorable man and I'm blessed to have known him for 14 years of my life. I only wish my children could have known him.
Thank you for letting me get that out. Things around here have been busy. Russ went to Orlando early Monday morning and came back around 1 on Tuesday afternoon. He said it was beautiful there. Jordyn missed her daddy so much and was so excited that he brought her back 2 princess shirts and a Tinkerbell doll. Colton wasn't left out, he got some Toy Story PJ's and a Curious George stuffed animal, it fits him perfectly. He gets into everything. And mommy wasn't left out either, Russ got me a very pretty watch, I've got to get some links taken out. I guess now I wont have an excuse to run late. I got my new stove delivered yesterday and I'm so excited. The stove that was here when we bought this house was probably about 20 plus years old and worked but was still nasty so I hadn't done much cooking and now I don't have an excuse. I'm getting another goodie today. Russ no longer has a work phone he can use for personal use, and my contract ends on 12/15 so we decided to get new phones, iphones. I love getting new things and am truly blessed with a husband that works hard to give me things but I do work hard to take care of his kids and house. I think even though he makes the money, I keep the house running.

My favorite time of the year.

So Halloween is over and done with. We had a blast. Jordyn was a beautiful Snow White again this year and Colton was the cutest Yoda you've ever seen. We met up with my sisters and their kids. We had a Star Wars theme. I think the Today Show copied us. One nephew was Chewbacca and one was Darth Vader and the other was Obi-Wan. The kids enjoyed it even though Colton was asleep by the 3rd house. Russ is more than likely going to be changing jobs, not really the best timing but they are offering him guaranteed hours during the winter which can be hard when ur in the hvac/mechincal industry. I'm ready to start shopping for Christmas. I want to get the kids a nice swingset and I would love to do that for Christmas but I still want the kids to have what they want. I'm going to commit to updating this on a regular basis. Here are some pictures to enjoy . My Sister and her baby, Cayden aka Chewbacca
