Christmas PJ's

Mom got the boys these cute pj's so I did a photo shoot for our christmas card. Didn't they turn out cute?! My boys are such camera hams.

Rainy Days

I love the rain when you can just listen to it and not have to get out in it.
But, since Heath has been riding the bus. I really hate it when it is raining.
I have to throw a poncho over him. At first all I had was an adult poncho and it is hanging everywhere. Then I have to tuck it in places so he can actually wheel himself in his chair.
We finally got a child sized poncho and it is heaven compared to what we had. But all in all, Heath gets on the bus dry and that is a feat in itself. Not to mention, he also has his backpack hanging on the back of his chair.

Christmas Party

We got together with a couple of friends and had some great food and played dirty santa.

Here is a pic of all the girls.

Roll Tide!!!!

Getting ready for Christmas

Well we are getting ready for Christmas. It is so much fun with a new house.
We have the tree up. Just lights right now. I like decorating it as a family. And we have been a little busy. Then, today Steven decided to get the outside ready and the boys wanted to help. Steven took Heath up the ladder onto the roof and ended up on his butt. So, needless to say Seth didn't get a chance to go up and he is letting us know every minute.
Then, to make matters worse while trying to put the lights on the house-a strand falls off the side of the house and hits the sidewalk and busts most of the lights. So, lights on the house are in pause mode.

Random Shots

Here are some random cabin shots.

November Birthdays

On Friday when we got to GA, we celebrated birthdays. It was Steven's 30th birthday on Friday and Stephanie and Summer's birthdays were a few weeks before. Steven's brother Scott and his wife Meredith made Steven a game called corn hole. Meredith sewed the little corn bags and together they pulled the wooden boxes together. It was very cool except for the fact that it has a big AU on the front. Oh well. Roll Tide!!!

Cleveland, GA

While in Cleveland, GA for Thanksgiving, we decided to visit the home of the cabbage patch kids. There was a hospital that we toured. The nurseries, adoption rooms, nurses and the big cabbage tree where a doctor actually pulled a baby from the cabbage. The boys didn't know what to think. It was interesting for me because I had cabbage patch kids as a little girl. The guys were really good sports about it. But all in all it was really neat. They had a little festival outside of the hospital where they had ponies to ride, bungee cords, a big jumping thing and a lawnmover turned into a train. Heath actually wanted to ride a pony and shockingly he enjoyed it. The boys cousin Summer who is only 3 decides she wants to do the bungee jump. She had ball. Her face was priceless.

Oh and above all, the life size cabbage patch dolls were a little strange. Especially for the boys, who had no idea who they were but they were good sports and had a great time.

Horne Thanksgiving

This year we decided to have the Horne Thanksgiving in Cleveland, GA. It was a good halfway point for everyone to meet. Steven's mom brought us all matching pj's. They were really cute and comfortable so we ended up wearing them almost the whole trip, so we were nice and cozy the whole time. We stayed in a log cabin that had a waterfall overlooking the balcony, a hot tub and a pool table. It was lots of fun.

Gatlinburg, Tennesee

We went to Gatlinburg this past weekend. Steven's friend Andrew got married and Steven was in the wedding. It was a nice little mini vacation and the kids had not ever been to Gatlinburg before so it was a lot of fun.

Happy Halloween

This is when the costumes were first bought. Heath as Dale Jr and Seth as Jeff Gordon

This was how we ended up. Heath still as Dale Jr and Seth as a fire fighter. And, this was their fake smiles. Don't ya just love it.
