Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. We had it at our new house this year. We did not have a very big crowd. I made some home made yeast rolls this year. Thanks to my grandmother's recipe. They were very good. I did not get to take any pictures, because as soon as I took them out of the oven they were gone. I was very surprised by how good they tasted. Mike said that we will not be buying rolls anymore.

Abby's Birthday Party

Abby had a great birthday party. We went to see Madagascar 2 and went to Chelino's restaurant to eat. Mike was off work so he got to go. We had a great time.

Abby had a swim party the next day. My aunt Cherrie made her a castle cake, she loved it. We all had a great time swimming. Mike did not get to go to the swim party because he had to work.

Abby's 6th Birthday

I can not believe that it has been six years since I had Abby. I went in about 10:00 pm to be induced, because the doctor that I was working for wanted me to deliver early in the morning so he could have clinic in the afternoon. Well Abby decided that would be a good idea, because I had her at 7:30 am on November 7th, 2002. My has she grown and what a little person she has become. She has lost 5 teeth and is now in kindergarten. She tells us what she likes and does not like and she also dresses herself. I try to help her in the morning, but we always get into a fight over what she wears. She always wants to wear dresses. I still do not get that. The only time I wear a dress is to Church, wedding, or a funeral. She is just a grily girl. Abby mommy and daddy are so proud of you!!! Happy 6th Birthday.

This is pictures of her second birthday. We were living in Virginia at the time. Jason Reese, Chris and Sara came to the party. Jason did balloon animals for her. We all had a great time. This is Abby dressing herself.

My little girl.

As you can see I do not have any baby pictures on here. I think that is before we had a digital camera, and I do not have a scanner to put them on my computer.

One of the pictures that I like of her. She does not like grass on her feet.

Halloween

The kids had a great time trick or treating. We went to our Church that has a trunk or treat, my moms, and then to Neva's Mike's moms. The kids had a great time they got a lot of candy. Which they do not need or do I. I let them have about one piece a day and then some goes into the trash. Abby was a black cat which she chose this costume. I was very happy because we did it our self's. Jacob was buzz lightyear. He was sooo happy to be him he wore it all weekend. Buzz is all he talks about and wants for Christmas, I am kind of happy that it is not cars anymore. I am glad that I did not do his room in cars, since he does not like it anymore. I think I will leave it plain since we maybe moving in about 6 months. Mike wants to do surgery and they are opening up a new program back in Christiansburg. We will see about all of this later. The Lord only knows what will happen. We have been praying for him to show us the right way.

Carving the Pumpkins

This is a yearly tradition for the kids and Mike. He always enjoys carving the pumpkins and roasting the seeds. The kids love this. I think he likes it more though. As you can see I do not help I am the picture taker. We normally do this earlier, but due to Mike having to work late and not having any time we waited until the day before. Jacob did not care for cleaning out the pumpkin though. Mike did most of his work.
