Scarves, Scarves, Scarves

I obviously skipped many months here on the blog, so I am backing up a bit...Sorry to those few readers who enjoy seeing pics of our kiddos. It has been a busy season. I need some tips from some of you who do such a fabulous job "keeping up" with your blogs. I love reading them. It takes me forever to simply get my pictures organized and downloaded & finding time for "typing" is rare :). Hopefully you will enjoy some updated pics of the boys from the past few months. God has been good to us and our holidays were packed full of fun, but we still found lots of time to just hang out at home which was really nice.
We had so much fun with these scarves on those few cold days we have in Texas. I just love the addition of a scarf with any outfit. They are too fun!! And these are some of my favorite photos of the boys from the holidays.

Thanksgiving Feast

I am so thankful for my boys - all three of them! I feel so blessed to stay at home & raise my sons. It is my dream job. Today Luke had a Thanksgiving Feast at school and he was so excited for me to come & join him. Aren't the pictures of these little Indians so cute??! Leaving the feast all I could think of is how fun it is to go to preschool parties & spend this precious time with Luke. Sadly, I know there will be a day when my boys won't necessarily want me to come to their school "parties". And yes, I even know there will be a day when they won't think I am the coolest person in town or think that blogging about them is cool either :). But, for now I am going to soak this season of their lives up, blog all about them and thank God daily for these gifts that He has entrusted to me. I'm thankful.

Halloween

Pumpkin Patch

Ms. Pat's class took a trip to the pumpkin patch....

TOO MANY TOYS

David Shannon has a new book out called, "TOO MANY TOYS". Luke just thinks this book is fabulous! He insisted on making a "rocket" just like the little boy in the story did out of a cardboard box. This little box rocket has provided countless hours of entertainment around here. Thought I would post because this book might be a fun Christmas present if you have kiddos who like to read David Shannon works!! He has always been a favorite around here.

I DO

Again, I am so behind on blogging, but my one and only sweet brother got married on September 20th. And I have promised several people that I would post some pictures of this special day. Laura looked absolutely beautiful and she was so calm during the entire ceremony. She smiled so sweetly and looked so very happy. The ceremony was so worshipful and God truly received much glory. My dad was the best man and Luke was so proud to be the ring bearer. Blake and Laura, we are so happy for you. Can't wait to see all that the Lord has in store for you as a couple in the days to come. You make a great team. Congratulations!

Disney World

I am so behind on getting things blogged.... But, wanted to share some fun pictures from our trip to Disney World. The boys had a blast riding all of the rides, meeting favorite friends, watching Disney parades and shows. Luke was quite the dare devil and couldn't get enough of all of the rides - he was trying very hard to explain that he really was tall enough for the large roller coasters! :) Bless his heart, he wanted so desperately to ride those "bigger boy" rides. He says that his favorite ride was Splash Mountain - I thought surely it would scare him to death, but he wanted to go back for more. We spent lots of time at Magic Kingdom, but also got to play at Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios - phew, there is truly so much to do!! (BTW, if you ever head to Epcot, make sure to try the Beverly soft drink at the international Coca Cola station where you can try sodas from all over the world.) Luke also had the opportunity one night to head back to Magic Kingdom with mom, dad & Uncle Mike for the Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. He trick or treated with many Disney characters and had the opportunity to see the Halloween parade and ride many more rides (NO LINES)! :) I think all of the adults" had just as much fun at Disney as the kids - especially watching the kids stand in awe of all that there was to see and do. We also all realized that Cade has a girlfriend... he was absolutely in LOVE with Minnie Mouse. He grabbed sweet little Minnie for hugs and we had to pry him off of her. And Cade is a pretty strong little man, but he did NOT want to let go of that pretty little mouse. Nona, Pa and Uncle Mike we had such a fun time hanging out with you for the boys first trip to Disney World! Nona & Pa we are so grateful for your generosity, it will certainly be a wonderful memory for all!!
