Here comes December....

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone. It's amazing how fast the holidays go by now. We had a wonderful time with Craig/Lisa and kids and James's mom. We had a ton of food and yummy desserts. After stuffing ourselves, the guys took the kids for a walk at Savannah Rapids and Lisa, Ardith and I had some down time. Once the guys/kids got back, the girls went and picked out a game from the store. We played games while the kids ran wild in the house. Ryland loved being around Tyler and Kayla. He really showed how big and scheming he is. The boys were jumping off of the couch and I came in the room and caught them. After telling them to sit and not jump, my PRECIOUS little almost 2 year old looked at me and waved his hand and said "bye-bye". He wanted me to leave the room. So I did, but I peeked around the corner and he looked and Tyler and said "come'on" and proceeded to jump off of the couch again!!!!! I could not believe my eyes and ears. I have always said that I am going to have my hands full, but everyday I believe it more and more.

On Sunday, the guys stayed home and I went to church. We had a good service and I was reminded that Jesus could come back at anytime....and we need to be ready. My life's motto is "live for today" and the sermon was just a reminder to do just that!

Have a great week and bring on December!!!!!

Here we go!

This is the first year we are having Thanksgiving at our house with the Churchill's and James's mom. We have been doing Thanksgiving with the C's for years, but this time with Ryland having his toys at our house and their kids being older, we opted for this. I am so excited and I am determined that we have a stress-free time.

I can't wait until tomorrow!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for. I thank God for creating me and saving me by sending Jesus. I thank Jesus for dying for me and my sins and for God drawing me to Him. I am thankful for my husband and long prayed for son. I am thankful that I'll get to see my baby Avery in heaven one day. I am thankful for my family and friends that are like family. I am thankful for a roof over my head, transportation and food in my pantry. There are so many things to be thankful for but I wanted to put a couple in a post.

I pray that everyone has a happy and safe holiday.

It's been a while since I've updated. I sometimes let time fly by, plus I'm sure you all don't want to hear about every second of my life. hehe

Anyway, it's gonna be a busy next two months. I've got a baby shower this Saturday, Thanksgiving, my baby's SECOND birthday party and Christmas!!!! All at my house! But I'm not stressing about it. I'm just gonna take it one day at a time.

Ryland will be 23 months on Saturday. I can't believe I'm about to have a 2 year old. I'm really enjoying him...even though he's starting to try me and James. He's a mess! See what I mean?

Kackleberry Farms

Here are some pictures from our visit to Kackleberry Farms/Corn Maze. We had a great time and Ryland really enjoyed himself. It was nice to do something different on the weekend.

Abbie/Lisa -- how do I add a video of pics that will scroll through the pics? Help!
