Black Friday Madness!!

Yes! I was one of the crazy moms shopping at the butt crack of dawn!! 3:30am I awoke to go shopping with my sister-in-laws Annie and Jenny! Oh boy it was crazy but it was fun and we got some killer deals!!
By the time we got out of the first store
we had filled the trunk of the car and
notice it's still dark outside!

I even got wounded!! This picture was taken almost a week later and has lessened in color. I'd like to say I had a cool story to back me up but alas I was just a big klutz!!!

By the end of the day the sun rose, I was hidden in the backseat burried with sacks

and sacks of fun Christmas gifts for family and friends. It was tiring but oh what an adventure!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving does give you the chance to stop and think about your many blessings in life!! My blessings are bountiful!! My fabulous loving husband who I love and adore and I am thankful that he puts up with me. My two adorable little huligans who provide me with so much joy and happiness! I have such love in my life....my cup runneth over!!! I am thankful for all our family and friends that are in our lives and provide such love and support!
We had Thanksgiving at Todd's parent's house and boy was it yummy!! Thanks everyone for helping out and making such a yummy spread!! We had a great time and Ethan and Cambree enjoyedplaying with their cousins all day!!


Ethan and his cousin Caleb were
the only ones big enough to sit at
the official "kid table" and they
loved it and had so much fun
sitting in their little chairs at the
little table!







Cambree takes after her big brother
and takes every chance to shove as
much food in as fast as possible!! She
especially loved Grandma Vickie's
homade rolls as you can tell in this
picture.


We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving too!!

Happy Halloween!!

We had a fun Halloween this year!


Ethan dressed up as a monkey, more specifically "Monkey George" or Curious George as you would know him. He loves that cartoon and was very excited to dress up like him. And we all know that this costume fits Ethan to a tee since birth he has been a little curious monkey. He loves the whole idea of walking around and saying Trick R Treat and getting candy. When we were all done he said, "Mommy, I want to go trick or treating again. I want my treats basket to get bigger and bigger."

Cambree dressed up as a little bumble bee and was adorable. There was supposed to be a little hat that she was supposed to wear but kept pulling it off and refused to wear it. So the creative mother (wink wink) made her two pony tails stick straight up for little bee antennas. Todd said she then looked like a Satan bee, but I thought she looked adorable! Of course Cambree didn't understand the whole trick or treating thing, but she does understand when Ethan get's a treat, she better get a treat too!

We hope you all had a fun safe Halloween too!
