Disney On Ice

Kyle and I had such a wonderful day today. We went to Tupelo with our friends Gina and Mckenzie Reed-Wood to see Disney On Ice. IT WAS FABULOUS!!! The show was just as entertaining for Gina and I as it was for the kids. If it comes to your area, I strongly reccommend going to see it. The tickets are VERY resonable but oh boy, take your life savings for all the souveniers and such...Cotton Candy (my favorite) was $10.00! CRAZY, but the entertainment was again, FABULOUS!!!

Affordable Decorating

Last week the kids and I decided that we would create our very own Halloween decorations. We put our engenious heads together and came up with paper-plate decorating because that seemed to be what we had the most of in our house.
This was so much fun and I recommend that you all try it.
The directions are as follows:
1. As many paper plates as you plan to use
2. Print out simple Halloween clip art (without many lines)
3. Dark paint, doesn't matter what color because you are going to paint over it
4. Black spray paint
5. White acrylic paint
Cut out clip art (use as a stencil) paint clip art to plate (using it as glue basically), after paint has dried completely, spray paint entire plate, once dry, remove stencil, you will probably have to paint where the stencil was, I chose to paint mine white....be creative and have a spooky good time.

The other pictures of Kyle after he dressed himself in his favorite clothes. No, he did not match but he was so proud of himself. He found yet another worm but fortunately for the worm, he released him to find "Mommy worm".
To explain the picture of Heath, he convinced me that he could drive so I decided to let him show me. He backed out of the garage and drove down the driveway, around the culdasak and back up the driveway. He did an excellent job! My baby is growing up way too quickly.
God Bless

Our Weekend

Heath played baseball in Southaven this past weekend. The boys always enjoy playing there because of the level of competition. Saturday was a tough day for the Jakes (the baseball team that Heath plays with). Our first game was at 9:00 Saturday morning, which was very early for the boys. We lost our first two games and they were heart breakers. However, the Jakes were ready to “represent” after their losses. They won the third game of the day opening the door to the Consolation Bracket. Somewhere between dinner at Hooters ( a little scary, but it’s a tradition), pillow fights at the hotel, a football game in the hotel parking lot and Heath getting his front tooth knocked out, a decisions was made. The “Come Back Kids” won both games today to get the victorious trophy. Victory was definitely sweet for us all.
So, you may be wondering what Kyle was doing during the excitement… As always, Kyle was a busy little bee. Saturday, Mrs. Pat (Chris’ Mom) and Scotty (Chris’ Brother) were nice enough to have an all day play date with him in Grenada. Sunday Mrs. Pat brought Kyle to the fields in Southaven. He made his grand entrance in an Ole Miss Jersey, baseball pants and baseball cleats. He told Mrs. Pat that he was a “baseball team” and had to wear his baseball stuff. As you can see from the pictures, he looked adorable. There are several MSU fans on our team and they were profusely aggravating him about being a “Dawg”. A lady told Kyle to say, “Go Dawgs” and his come back, “No, I Hotty Toddy Rebel!!!” Yes, that was a very proud moment for us. Another proud moment occurred when we found Kyle doctoring on a caterpillar he found in the mud. After cleaning the caterpillar, Kyle gave the caterpillar a ride on his hat. Literally as I was thinking, “he is just the sweetest little boy” he shows me where the poor caterpillar was put to death by Kyle. My thoughts were quickly altered, “You nasty little boy.”
With all that said, we had a great weekend with our “Baseball Family” and our precious boys and as always our Dear Uncle Bob.
Question:
Does it ever amaze you guys how you can have enough love to love your kids the way you love them? I was thinking on the way home tonight that my cup completely runs over with love for my boys and for my husband. I truly couldn’t ask for more than what the Lord has been so generous to give to me.
Until next time Bloggers, hug your kids and tell them how much you love them…they are such an amazing, beautiful gift.
God Bless You All

Our Weekend

It is safe to say that we have had a very busy weekend. Friday we took the boys to the County Fair. Kyle and his friend Cannon had a blast, well after the mini rollercoaster ride (they weren't fond of it). Heath met up with several friends as well and also had a great time. However, I could not keep up with them to take pictures.
Saturday, the Pee Wee football team played in a tournament and placed third over all(which was good). The boys played their little hearts out.
Saturday evening, Heath and his friends went to a dance that was being held by Heath's "girlfriend". The boys had a great time and had nothing but "girls" on their minds when they got home. It really is amazing how quickly our little ones grow.

HELP ME PLEASE

OK, my kids are 7 years apart and fight constantly! I am so tired of them fighting! I have done everything imaginable to get them to get along but nothing has worked. My 11 year old is so sweet but when you get him with his brother(3 yrs old) they both turn into little devils. Today, I decided that this wasn't going to be the day that I lost my mind with them...they just don't need to see that. Anyway, when they started to fight, I made them sit on the couch hugging each other...IT DIDN'T WORK! They are back at it. I need some advice PLEASE!
Oh, if you see missing signs with my picture on it, DO NOT LET ANYONE LOOK FOR ME, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE FOUND!

A Good Day

Hello All- Kyle and I had such a wonderful day today with the Dinkelackers (Amy, Walt, Cody and Andrew) and the Vickers (Jennifer, Addison Clair and Cade). To begin our day, we went to Andrew's birthday party at the buffalo park (so much fun). After the party we went to the Dinkelacker's house to visit and let all of the kids play. The following pictures are proof of how much fun was had by us all, especially the kids. Oh, we also got to visit with Amy Cooper Harbinson and her children.

Obviously, the kids all enjoyed playing in the mud and the parents enjoyed watching them just as much.

Supporting the Dawgs

We went to the MSU vs. Alburn game this past weekend to support our State Friends. We had a great time tailgating with The Vickers and The Dickelackers. Though Heath has Rebels running through his blood, he was a sport and helped cheer on the Dawgs.
I forgot my camera so had to depend on Jennifer to take pictures. The attached are all I have.
