Thanksgiving Day

My favorite holiday did not disappoint this year! We had a fun filled day with family, food, and friends. We started off celebrating with my family at lunch, and then headed to Moore to eat dinner with the Liston's. Our tummy's were FULL!

Paige and her cousin Addison bonded over chips!

Jake always seems to find a dog to play with.

Thankful for 300

This just happens to be my 300th post, which I'm very thankful for. Blogging has been better than I could have ever imagined. It's been an outlet for me, and a way for me to let my friends and family know what's going on in our little lives. I am so thankful that someday I will have a tangible way to look back on our memories.

We have been so blessed over the last year. We moved, started a new practice, attended new schools, and made amazing friends! This has been a year full of change, but when I start to get overwhelmed I remember that we have so much to be thankful for. We live in our dream home when others are homeless. We always have food to eat when others are starving. We wear nice clothes while some have nothing. We get to spend everyday together while others have loved ones that are gone. No matter what our "hardships" might be, there is always someone out there that is in need. I guess my point is this......BE THANKFUL and give back.

My little Indians are the most precious gift I could have ever received.

I thank God for them everyday!

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!

Game Day x 2

Saturday began with Jake's basketball game.

I just love that their team shirts are orange and black!

Charlie and Jake are all smiles, but not sure that Ethan wanted his picture taken. ha!

After Jake's game we headed to Stillwater to watch the Cowboys take on Kansas.

We won 48-14.

Paige and Mary Kate had so much fun playing together!

I'm not sure Uncle Jim's apartment will ever be the same!

Oh, Deer!

We had a little visitor in our backyard this week.

Home Sweet Home

It sure feels good to be home. Brad and I went to Nashville last week for a conference. The trip didn't quite turn out as we expected. The first two days were great.....shopping, eating at great places, making an appearance at the CMA red carpet, seeing lots of celebs, and then it happened. Boom! I GOT SICK. I spent the last 36 hours of our trip in bed. Like couldn't get out of bed sick. Brad said it was strep, so it must have been. Who am I to argue with a doctor? I've never had strep, but believe me, I never want it again.

Today, life is good. I'm home with my babies, who I missed terribly. I'm about to sit down with a big bowl of ice-cream and watch all my shows on DVR that I missed last week. I'll post the few pictures of Nashville that I have later....After icecream and TV.

Cowboys Beat the Bears

We had yet another exciting game day in Stillwater!

It's hard to believe we only have one more home game left.

Basketball

Jake had his first basketball game today. It's so darn cute to watch a bunch of 1st graders running up and down the court. It's almost as comical to watch their daddies.

Miss Priss

Me: "Paige, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Paige: "A princess!"

Me: "But, you are already a princess."

Paige: "No, Mommy! I want to be a real princess."

The girl has big dreams......
