Finding our Christmas Tree

So every year we go to a tree farm and find our Christmas tree. This year we found our tree within the 1st 5 minutes but we decided to keep looking and we went back to this tree 2 more times before we cut it down. I personally picked out this tree and I think it is one of the best ones we have had so far. :-) Here is a slide show of us looking for the tree and then decorating it...

Christmas Cookies

So we made Christmas cookies and then made homemade icing and used food dye to make different colors. It was fun...Noah wasn't interested in coloring his cookies just eating them.

Cousin Time for the Boys

So my sister came up from Houston for Thanksgiving break and stayed a week at my mom's house in Cabot. I went to see them at my mom's on Sunday before Thanksgiving and my nephew Austin who is 3 1/2 came home with me and stayed the night. It was like using the jaws of life to get my sister to let him come stay so he could spend some quality time with his cousins and boys for that matter. I told my sister that in all the pictures I have seen of her play dates he is always having to play with girls....and he needs some man time! I was giving a list of do's and don'ts by my sister that I was beginning to wonder if taking him home with me was worth the trouble. But he had a good time and they played bumper cars with the toys and had a snack and watched a movie. Andy pulled out a big mattress for them to all sleep on and I had made a pallet on the floor next to the mattress just in case one rolled off....so when we woke in the morning...Noah was in our bed and Austin was sleeping on the pallet while the other 2 where on the mattress....check out the pics below...


Joshua, Jessie, Austin, and Noah

Seth

I took this picture of Seth at Jessie's Birthday Party and this was the best quality picture I took all day....

Jessie's 8th Birthday Party

So for Jessie's Birthday Party we had some kids come to the Benton HS Football Practice Field and play flag football along with some cupcakes and lemonade. Below are some pics of the day. My camera was messed up and didn't take many pictures so I didn't get pictures of his cake and blowing out the candles but we got it on video tape. I will try to post some video later.

Jumping in a Pile of Leaves

So when the leaves started falling I told the boys that we could make a pile of leaves for them to jump in. They had a good time gathering the leaves and then jumping in them.

Dishwasher

So we bought a new house and we will have lived here 2 years in February. The dishwasher that was put in here was....well....CHEAP! So not only does it do a bad job of washing dishes but lately it would get stuck in a cycle and would run all night until you moved the knob a bit. Well we decided to just hand wash our dishes and not bother messing with the dishwasher, mainly because we didn't have the extra cash to go buy a new one. So today Andy came home for lunch and surprised me with a new dishwasher! He installed it and everything before going back to work. I can't wait to use it. He used money he earned from a side job to pay for it. I am so excited. Having a family of 5 you go through a lot of dishes!

Halloween Pics

We went to Boo at the Zoo with Josh and April and their kids. It was okay....I don't think we will do that again. Here are some pics of the night. We had a lot of cute pictures taken but we were using a new camera and we didn't have the flash on.

Family Portraits

We went to Alma on Saturday to have some family portraits taken. Our friend Dana took them for us and she did a great job! Everybody had a level of cooperation it just didn't happen all at the same time....LOL. Below is a slide show of our family pics....enjoy!
