Thanksgiving Day

Thursday morning I got up and finished up the cooking before heading over to Taylor's for Thanksgiving Lunch!! We had so much food it was WONDERFUL! The day ended up being beautiful so we sat around outside for a lot of the time- watching the kids play and the men play washers! After eating and playing we opened our sibling gifts

I have so many more photos but it keeps telling me I am using all my photo space so that will have to do for now...if any of you know how to fix this problem let me know!

Graysons Five!!

I remember the first time I played with Grayson he played with my watch singing the ABC's on the floor of their old house, now he is FIVE! I can't believe how big he has gotten. He had a carnival themed birthday party. We arrived at the carnival and their was a blow up jumpie, goldfish throw, popcorn, cotton candy, pin the tail on the donkey, balloon pop and all sorts of fun for 5 year olds (and the jumpie proved to be fun for more than just the kids...ie- Justin & Kason)

Happy Birthday Little Boy!!

Thankful

Today I am thankful for the man standing at the end of his row to check me out because the grocery store was not crowded. I had been putting off the grocery store because I didn't want to fight the crowds yet as I walked up to the checkers a young man said...You ready to check out? I can get you right over here. : ) oh the small things...now off to chop up all sorts of things and cook!

YEAH HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Typical

More to come from my nephews 5th carnival birthday party but for now...these pictures are just...TYPICAL. All I can say...typical...

Quote of the Day

While my kids were doing their centers I was going around monitoring and a bunch of them went and saw Christmas Carol this weekend so they were all discussing Santa and I over hear one of my little girls dead serious say..."NO! Santa lives in Hollywood!" I laughed out loud.

Thanks Taylor!

http://www.benandtay.blogspot.com/ whom I went to high school with and has the cutest baby girl and I wish we lived closer tagged me so here it goes...

Here are the rules:
List 10 things that make you happy.(try to do one of those things TODAY!)
Tag 10 bloggers that brighten your day.Make sure to link back to the person that tagged you!

1. Justin Trice- my husband (oh I still get giggly saying "my husband") who is my other half.

2. Pip- my first born child. Pip brings me happiness on days when the world is falling apart. Dogs have a way of knowing when you just need a little extra love.

3. House Hunting- As a child mom and I would drive around after we dropped Jessica off at school and would just look at houses for sale (even though we were perfectly happy in our house) we just did it for fun! Now as Justin and I look for a house, it is just as fun as it was when I was 4 and 5.

4. Seeing the light bulb go off when one of my first graders "gets it" for the first time.

5. Decorating for Christmas- I can't wait to have a house and have a Christmas tree and decorations on the door, in the kitchen, outside EVERYWHERE!

6. (just like Taylor- don't worry I won't judge) Seeing vacuum lines on the carpet- it really bothers me that the apartment carpet you can't see the lines after vacuuming- I LOVE VACUUMING!

7. Candy- yes, I frequently will stop at gas stations, walmart, etc. just to get some candy- I did say a piece of candy but that's a lie because it is normally more than one piece. Some of my favorites include, gummy bears (hard ones), skittles, 3 musketeer's, sour patch kids, hot tamales, milky ways, snickers, peanut butter cups, really almost anything : )

8. Getting flowers just because- not that it happens often but when it does I just love it!

9. Worship music on the way to work- it just sets the mood for the whole day

10. Holidays with the family- holidays in general just bring such happiness to me- I just love being together in the kitchen, everyone helping in some way or another, the girls singing and dancing together in the kitchen while the men are watching football- then all just sitting around after all of us stuffing our faces
