Nuts Anyone?

SO tonight we had a cozy night of sitting in our pj's, popping some popcorn and watching Polar Express. Tyson was crawling on my lap and put his knee in my crotch. I said, "ouch". Madison told Tyson, " you need to be careful that hurts mom nuts." I told Madison girls do not have nuts. She replied a second later, "oh ya we have an ALIVA!"

Happy Birthday and Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had a blast, we had Thanksgiving at our house and we had 36 people here. We had a packed house! We almost went through 70 pounds of meat. All the food was great. I have hosted Thanksgiving for almost 5 years now, I have marked it as my holiday to entertain. Also this year was Tyson's birthday, he turned 4! We had some Turkey and Star Wars Cake, Along with 4 other kinds of pie. No one left Hungry. Tyson was on cloud nine, he thought everyone was here for him, well that is partially true for him and the food.

I remember the day when he entered in to this world. I am so happy to my biggest little man in my life! He is such a joy to our lives. He keep us all on our toes! Happy Birthday Tyson! We love you very much!

The Wish
By Ann Friday

Each birthday wish
I've ever made
Really does come true.
Each year I wish
I'll grow some more
And every year
I DO!

On my honor, I will give Thanks.

Last Thursday Madison had a Thanksgiving feast in her class. They all had to bring a bag of food and mix it together and made some gorp. Half the class was pilgrims and the other half was Indians. They had all made a Thanksgiving book which they read to us. It was a lot of fun to see all the hard work they put into the books, they were all so proud. I am most thankful for these moments I can spend with my kids watching them grow!

Last week Madison got sworn into Brownies. It was a cute ceremony and they each got some pins. They were all put on upside down and they need to do 3 good deeds and then it can be put right side up. They also got some patches they earned the last 3 weeks or so. Here are some pics of the ceremony.

Happy fall!

Can you believe how long it has been since I have blogged?! I am so sorry, I have really no good excuse other than I have been busy with life and my computer was broke for a week. Since the last post John and I have turned another year older, we do not need to go into details about that though. We both had a great birthday. I actually got a bedroom set for my birthday. I am excited to finally have dressers and a bed that all match. All the kids rooms have matching sets and it was ours that was the last to tackle. I do liek my bedroom set very much and am glad to have a cozy retreat way from the world (well for at least 6-7 hours a day). We made it through Halloween and the kids had a blast! It was busy, I am a room mom for Madison's class so I was busy planning the party, then they had pumpkin math. That whole week I was at the school 4 out of the days. I also tried to work- It was a crazy week. Now I can not believe we are about to enter into the holiday of Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday! I love to eat and visit with family and friends. It sems this time of year goes by so fast. Soon it will be 2008.

Tuesday night we went to Niel Young. It was a great show. I could listen to his acoustic set all night long. John and I had a good time getting out and had a good time together. With kids it does not feel like you get enough of those times together.

I will leave you with a few recent photos! I will post sooner than later!
