Country Christmas Caroling

One of my friends, Tanya Burk decided last night would be a great night for some Country Christmas Caroling.  I rarely argue w/ her, so I agreed that sounded like loads of fun! So we met up at their house and drove around for about a hour and a half  and sang our hearts out....

That's just Macie posing w/ her little friend..

 The pics aren't the best. My camera doesn't do the best in the dark.

 This is Max & Bonnie's house.  They were having some family time, but enjoyed the interruption.

 Miss Kaynhan rode around w/ us.  Her & Addie don't see eachother that much. But when they do, it doesn't take them long to catch up!!  Macie let us know she was ready for bed, and about 2 min. later she was out....

It was a fun time caroling around the country.  Hopefully all enjoyed our not-so-much-in-tune songs!!

Dec. 9th & the tree is up!!

Soooo, my tree is finally up.  I always wait because I kind of dread getting all the stuff out.   But once I do, I enjoy going through all that I have accumulated.  Laners spent the day w/ me today, so she got to join in!!  And yes Whit, she spent the whole day w/ me... Let's see who she comes to first next time we're together.HAHAHAHA

Family

Ohhhh, How I love my family.  There is none like them, no one I rather be around.  You can be real, silly, cranky, and there always there.  Through it all.  How very blessed I am to have that family.  My parents are truly a m a z i n g.  My sisters are by far my best friends and our hubbies are simply above and beyond our expectations in a help mate.  And our children are beautiful individuals that are growing, and changing and inspiring me to be better.  Thank you God for this FAMILY....

Seriously, she looks so much like her daddy

Thanks, Whit for the great pics!!  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone that checks out my life.

Sunday afternoon with Macie

A couple of weeks ago, Clint was itchin to go scope out some duck hunting areas with the boat.  Since the lack of rain has been such an issue for hunting, Clint wanted to make sure he wouldn't be wasting his time when it came to the BIG DAY!!  So after church Macie and us loaded up and headed to Card Creek.  Addie decided she rather hang out with Mimi.  It was a beautiful day to be on the creek.  We did find some dry areas though. pic below....

Macie making waves...

Halloween

Some of my family came over a couple of weekends ago for a little get-together. Kaley & Katie came up w/ the idea of making a hay maze out of our straw.  So the kids really enjoyed playing in that. 

Uncle Dan called Jet, Charlie Brown most of the night.  He really did with that shirt & his round head!!

I love Josie's little hand on her hip.

Tanner looks like a little Dan for sure.  So glad he and his daddy made it down from K.C.

Class party  -  The Mummy race

Spook Parade.. Addie wasn't sure about this scarecrow idea. I thought it was wonderful. I didn't spend a dime on this idea!!  I love it when that happens. The feathers were gathered out of a friends chicken yard, the overalls were once mine, the hat and shirt came from my mom, and the straw and stick were gathered from the barn!! Bonus!!  (i guess i did buy the face paint, darn)

 

They pick 6 kids from each class to go up on stage and show off their costume.  Addie was picked!!
