Sit Down, Lots and Lots of pics to look at!

Today was Jersey Day. I had to throw that pic in of MB

We had a great weekend. It started on Friday morning at Mary-Beth's school. She had awards day. She got an award for all A's and the Girl Good Citizenship award in her class. I was so proud of my baby girl. She really does work very hard at school.

Next we had game night at our house for the 20s/30s class from church. It was a great turn out and alot of fun. The children there I think even had alot of fun.

Saturday afternoon many families from our church went to the Silver Creek Arena pumpkin patch. I believe my children would live there if they could, defiantly Lane! We had a hayride, a horse back ride (big hit) fed farm animals (also big hit) painted pumpkins and ate dinner there. It was great to have something here in Vicksburg to do as a family. They said that they may even do something at Christmas time for the public.

Here are a few more pics that I promised!!

Here are some pictures that Tracy took this weekend. She took Mary-Beth to Uncle Shawn's, Aunt Heather's and Ian's house. It looks like they had alot of fun. Itried to add more of the pics that she sent me but for some reason the blogger wasn't working with me. I will try to post the rest of them tomorrow! Thanks Aunt Tracy for taking MB. Happy Birthday Shawn and thanks for letting MB come this weekend. I add a pic of Lane also.

Kite Flying

Today Alisa and I spent the day helping Mary-Beth and Cameron work on their reading fair boards. Lane found his kite in his closet. He insisted that we fly it. I helped him untangle the string and he decided he was not going to wait for me. He took the kite outside and got it up himself. Well, then all of the kids wanted a turn. They had the best time playing and getting extremely dirty outside. It felt so great with the overcast and wind.

Mary-Beth was sad that she could not get the kite up by herself!
Mason was working so hard he could not keep his little tounge in his mouth.

Hair Cuts and etc....

Friday, MB and I went to get new hair cuts. We are tired of ponytails:) This was MB's first real haircut. I have trimmed it a couple of times. It was alot of fun doing it together. MB was so excited about her new cut. She wanted everyone to notice it. We went to WalMart afterwards and she saw a set of twin boys that are in her class and they said hey to her. Well, after they left she looked at me and said, "Momma, they did not even notice that I got all of my hair cut off." I told her, that is the first of many times that a boy won't notice. Later we saw the same little boys at the park and she was swinging beside one of them and made a point to tell him about her hair. See, girls, it is born in us for us to want guys to notice detail and it is born in guys for them not to notice.

I add a few pics of the rest of the weekend!!

We Closed Down the Park!!!

Well guys, it looks like we closed the park down. It was said it was not safe enough yet. Lane I told you to toughen up and quit crying. If those firemen only new everywhere you go you make things unsafe:)

This is for you Sara and Melissa!

I have been tagged. Here it goes!!

1. I too have something that totally grosses me out when I see it. It is holes in something. Like when you kick an ant pile ----------yuck---------- it makes me sick, so I won't talk about it no more.


2. I am absolutely a horrible typist and speller. I guess most of you probably already know this if you read my blog. I am really stepping out on a limb to keep up a blog and have people be able to read it. Also, out of all things for me to nominated for I was nominated to be the PTO Secretary (Scary). So this will probably be the shortest tag yet!

3. I absolutely love cold weather. I love to light a fire and curl up in a couch and watch a good movie. Of course, living in Mississippi with two children, this just does not happen very much.

4. The thing I hate to do most is FOLDING CLOTHES. I absolutely hate doing it. I always wait until I have to do it. Then I end up with five loads at a time. It really stinks.

5. This one is probably very common, but when I wake up, I have to make up every bed in the house. I do it as a ritual. I start in my room, then Mary-Beth's, then I do Lane's. I can not leave the house with them unmade. Even if it is just to take Mary-Beth to school. I also do not know how to keep baseboards clean. I have tried everything. I need to know the secret for this. If anyone knows one, please tell me HOW. It drives me crazy.

6. I am more like my son than most people know. When I was yonger, I loved critters, just like Lane does. My sister and I would stay outside when we were at home. Once we found a ton of little baby frogs near the pond in my parents neighborhood. We put all the frogs that we could into a purse and took them to school (elementary). We wanted to show a friend how cute they were. Hoever, when we got there - They were all gone. Because of this I think this is why I love to be outside now. I also love to plant, but I don't have a green thumb.

Spa Day

Some of my family came from Alabama to visit this weekend. We had the best visit. We shopped, ate at Rusty's, watched football, my mom cooked crab legs and shrimp (yummy) walked and played outside and many more things. We ended Saturday with a spa day. We had facials and hand soaks. Lane was hilarious!!! Oh and in the bottom picture the kids were playing dress up and i had to throw in the pic of Lane in the police outfit (blurry because it was taken on my cell phone, sorry).

PS. I will post my tag soon (Melissa)
