Thanksgiving Week!

This year our Thanksgiving week started out with school plays and picnics. The kids had fun pretending they were eating the first Thanksgiving. The kindergarten classes at CT's school put on a cute little play, and then gathered together for their feast! As soon as CT got home he kept telling me how hungry he was. OH MY WORD!! They just ate a meal right before he got home from school. Seriously! Then the next day Mommy and Daddy got to have a special picnic with KG. She thought that was pretty cool.


On Wednesday we headed over to Arkansas to meet some of Mommy's old friends and play with their kids. Unfortunatly Mommy dropped her camera and broke it, so we do not have any pictures of this event.

We had a great time with Mimi, Poppi, Uncle Chad, and Aunt Mandy. We have SO much to be thankful for this past year!! CT and KG both told me they were thankful for Deacon. :) I am so thankful for a Godly husband who loves his family, thankful for my sweet family, very thankful for our health, and so VERY thankful for a Savior who loves me unconditionally!

CT the Pilgrim.

Getting ready for his part. Each time it came to the Pilgrims they had to say,"Bang, Bang, Bang". It was a cute little poem.

This is KG at her Wee School Thanksgiving picnic. The parents also got to come and be apart. We had Charlie's Chicken and a fun little picnic.

Good ole family time in the backyard.

CT and Uncle Chad hoopin it up. CT had Uncle Chad worn out before it was all over. :)

KG and Deacon had a blast on the slide.

I just want to go out and play with the big kids. Please........................

KG, Cousin Henry, CT, and Deacon. These guys had a great time playing together. When my cousin Allyce told them it was time for Henry to go home, CT exclaimed, "C'mon can't he stay for just a little while longer?"

Pool Party!!

KG's little friend Mia had her birthday party a few weeks ago. I took KG and Deacon. CT didn't go b/c he was still in a cast, plus it was mainly girls. Ewwww!! :) I wasn't sure if Deacon would even get in. He LOVED it!! He had a great time splashing in the water, and even mastered the frog slide. He also was digging the cake. Happy Birthday Mia! Thanks for inviting us!




Mia, Liv, and KG. They were all born Sept., Oct., and Nov. What fun friends. Four years has gone by FAST!
Mr. Deacon was enjoying his cake time. :)

Yep, I liked it!

School Carnival

I am waaaaay behind on blogging, so hopefully I will get caught up in the next couple of days. :) CT had his school carnival 2 weeks ago. He was so pumped about it. Daddy was out of town, so I talked Nee Nee into going and enduring the madness. The kids had a great time, and finally won a cake and a coke after about 15 tries. KG was so disappointed each time she didn't win. I was so glad she finally won one. We spent all of our time at the cake and coke walks. We didn't even make it to the other hall.

CT and his prized Pepsi. Notice it is fizzy at the top. He dropped it right off. We will not be opening it for awhile. :)

You're allergic to what?

On Wednesday I took CT to get his cast off. He was so pumped!! He only had to wear it 3 weeks, and it was waterproof. That way he could still take showers. It was very nice. Anyway, while we were in there the nurse asked if he was allergic to anything. I said, " no". CT spoke up and said, "I'm allergic to hot water in my ears."......... Excuse me, what? I could not figure out what he was talking about. The nurse and I had to contain our laughter. Afterwards he reminded me that when we were in China last year, he was swimming at Nana's and got water in his ear. This led to an ear infection. I'm allergic to that too, I don't like water in my ears either. :) ha! ha!

Can you say "Virgin"?

I wrote about this on my facebook, but wanted to put it on here for my non fb friends, and to remember. :) The other day I picked up KG from Wee School, and she was singing a new song that she had learned. They have been practicing for their Christmas program. We get in the car and she starts singing, "Virgin Mary had a baby boy." over and over all the while going up an octave each time she sings it. Once she gets to a point that she can't go any higher, she turns to Deacon and says, "Deacon, can you say virgin, virgin, virgin?" :) He just looked at her like she was crazy! So she goes back to singing her song. :)

Happy Veteran's Day!!

On Wednesday we put on our Red, White, and Blue and headed out to the Veteran's Day Parade. The kids were excited about waving their flags, and seeing the parade! We are so thankful and appreciative to all the men and women who have sacrificed to allow us to enjoy the freedoms we have. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed. I am very proud to say that both my grandfathers, and my father are veterans.

KG and Deacon ready for the parade to start.
Deacon's new thing is to squat when you try to take his picture. :)
Here comes the band. Deacon liked them.
Some of our veterans.
KG thought this little boy was WAY too young to be driving a car. :)

Deacon waving those flags.

We love our veterans!!

KG's First Sleepover

Since we were gone on KG's 4th birthday, I promised her a sleepover with some of her little friends. They had a GREAT time, and were so good. Here are a few pictures we took.

KG, L, and M. All very close in age. L born in Sept., KG born in Oct., M born in Nov. They love to hang out together.

Deacon also thought he would get in the middle of everything. :)
Just the girls.
KG picked dinner at McD's. They were pretty pumped about their Happy Meals. Here they are deciding on who will get what toy.
