Oops forgot these cute pics!

More pics of our visit with Tommy




Chris, Elizabeth and little Tommy Visit!!!!





We had such a fun visit with our friends Chris, Elizabeth and Tommy. They live in D.C. and Elizabeth had a meeting here in Atlanta. They stopped by and spent a day and night with us. We just hung around the house and enjoyed visiting with them. We wish we lived closer so that we could do this more often. They boys had so much fun playing with little Tommy. They broke Tommy in right. By the end of the visit, Tommy knew all about a light sabre. They all loved playing with the musical instruments. At one point all of us including the adults had to play an instrument, man was it loud. He is such a cute kid and a joy to be around! He is as sweet as he looks! The boys are sitting in here with me now as I post this and Walker just said, "I love tommy". How sweet! We can't wait to visit with them again!

Decorating our tree



We had so much fun decorating our tree. It seems that every year when we pull out our christmas lights for the tree most of the strands do not work. How is that possible. So we had to make a trip to our local Ace about 5 minutes before they closed to get more lights. They all worked and our tree looks beautiful. They boys love pulling out the ornaments and hearing the story behind each of them. My tree has no rhyme or reason but I can tell you where every single ornament came from or who it is from. They all have a special story that I love. I just love this time of year and all the traditions that we do as a family! I will post a pic of our tree in my Christmas post coming soon.....

Thanksgiving Weekend at Pop and Gran Jan's

Pop and the boys making a cake for Thanksgiving Dinner!



All the boys going down to the lake to help Pop fix his dock after a little tornado whipped through their neighborhood a few months ago.

One of our favorite things to do~ Ride the golf cart to feed the animals

Auntie Martha Jane and Henry were going to have a little quite time on the hammock until it broke and they both hit the ground. It was hilarious and I am glad that I was there to wittness it. I laughed so hard!


Boys still trying to fix the dock. Bless their hearts they were out there almost all day! The dock got pulled away during the storm.
Pop and Gran Jan taking the little boys on a bear hunt. One of their favorite things to do with them.

We all have so much fun when we get together! It was such a fun weekend and we are so thankful for such a wonderful family! We make some wonderful memories when we are all together!

Sight Word Hat Party


This was at Walker's Sight Word Hat Party. They do this 4 times a year. They recognize each student based on the sight words that they know. They get buttons depending on how many they know. Walker knows 100 sight words. He is doing so well and is reading quite a bit. He loves his school and I love how often they recognize the students for their hard work! Good Job Walker!

"Snowham, Batman, Bethlehem"

Henry aka Mr. Bethlehem

One day when Eric came home from work and was changing clothes, Henry thought that he would dress up as "Bethlehem" with daddy's clothes. There is never a dull moment in our house for sure!
