Dec catch up!

We had a fantastic Dec.  It was a blur though!  Christmas parties, getting ready for Santa and getting ready to head to Tennessee seemed to consume our time.  We headed out after church on Sun to get some extra days before Christmas in Nashville.  The trio did great with riding and we rolled into to Nanny and Pa's about 10.  I did not take one picture while we were there on my camera but I have a few on my phone I will have to pull off.  After Nanny and Pa's we were off to Hornbeak to celebrate with Nana and the Hutson crew.  Nana gave us tickets to the Discovery Park in Union City and OH MY WORD..it was amazing!  Here are a few shots of the kiddos exploring..

Whew I am caught up a little on the blog world now.  Hopefully I can do better but that wasn't a resolution of mine:)

Nov catch up!

Our sweet girl turned seven!!  I can not believe it.  I feel like I just planned her first birthday:(  We partied, ate cake and painted with sweet friends.  It was a fun day!

Catching up on 2013..

 

Okay so I am playing catch up on 2013:) Here are a few pics from Oct.  Nate's team made it to the Super Bowl again.  This pic is of him catching a pass and scoring a touchdown.  He practiced all season and finally it happened.  We were a little excited on the side lines.  

 

This is his buddy Colton.  They played each other in the Super Bowl.  C's team won but they were both so excited about the trophy.

 

Here comes Halloween.  This also is our 2 year anniversary in Texas.  It seems so weird to say that.  

This kid..I mean I just have no clue where all that personality comes from;)

 The kiddos performed one Wed night at church.  Sis showed some stellar moves.  Nate was on the other side so I didn't get a good pic of him.

And yes we have a puppy now.  It all started when the owners brought some pups to one of N's football games.  It was love at first sight for the two of them.  Her name is Charli.

A whole lot of Random..

 This post is a whole lot of random or, in other words, I finally dumped all the pictures off my phone!
My big kiddos started riding the bus. Let me tell you it is a beautiful thing.  No more afternoon car pool line and they are actually home faster.  Win Win!

 A few weeks ago I went on a little road trip by myself.  It was crazy not having my little travelers with me but I did make it to TN faster than I ever have before:)

 It is such a blessing to come home to friendships that pick up right where they leave off.  I also got to spend time with my BF Cassie and her crew.  Sushi, coffee talk and an early morning run..felt just like the old days:)

 I met up with Nana then it was off to VA to spend some QT with Auntie!! It is SO beautiful and I loved soaking up every minute with them. 

 The cutest pumpkin in the patch!!  I am trying not to think about this little bit heading to school next year:(

 Guess I forgot to edit this one!  We went to a Duck Dynasty Bday party.  Get your beard on!

 Last Sunday J and I went to see the Duggar Family at a local church,  It was so much fun!  The closest we got to a photo opp was the bus.  That line went forever.  Texas folks love the Duggars;)

 Happy Halloween!  We spent the evening with our buddies the Bakers.

 The whole crew!  Elissa and I stayed behind to hand out the candy. Someone had to!

 This wild man's team made it to the Super Bowl this Sat.  They are the underdogs but everyone loves a good underdog team right?!  Go White Team!!

 Out of order but these are the projects we completed while at Auntie's. 

N's class had to decorate a pumpkin.  We made Chicken Little.  Projects are hard for a crafty moma but even harder for a crafty sister.  She kept trying to take over!

I can't believe we are already in Nov! All the Christmas stuff already out is making me sweat.  We have a sweet girlie birthday coming fast so I am off to mail invites!
Happy Wednesday!!

Football!!

 It's football time again!!  I so wished this meant that we had to wear jackets and sip coffee at the ball games.  But this is Texas in October, which means we can still wear our shorts and flip flops:)  I can't wait to feel that crisp fall air hopefully it is not that far away!  The picture above cracks me up.  I guess he was waiting on the guy to break free.

 We usually have a little entertainment going on the side lines. 

 They are dancing in case you thought he was wrestling her:)

 Game Day!!  I missed his first game due to a girls trip to IKEA.  Hubs was sweet and took the camera for me.

Next week Nana and I are taking a road trip to Virginia to see Auntie.  I can not wait!!!  This is the longest time that I have ever been away from the trio but I am leaving them in very capable hands.  Nanny and Pa are coming to town and with Hubs I am sure I will barely be missed.  I am packing all my cardigans and boots and hoping that the fall weather will follow me home.
