Thanksgiving and cuteness

We had a great thanksgiving.  We enjoyed Nate being home for the first part of the week and then we headed to my parents for the second half.  We had a ton of fun being together and we have so much to be thankful for this year including the addition of our sweet Caroline!  We even got our house fully decorated!! 

Our best attempt at a group shot...taken at dusk...on a speaker...with 16 people...but we did it!



My little cowboy on his way to gramma and grampa's for thanksgiving.  He was so excited to see all his "friends."



Just plain Caroline cuteness



Napping with grampa



My little turkey



Turkey trot - before picture - thanksgiving morning.  We had so much fun doing it together.  He smoked me!

Projects, projects, projects!!

I'm so crafty...ok I'm not, but I sure like the idea of it. And as a mom of young kids you are forced to be!
Here are a few of our latest projects:
The boys, like every other kid, had to disguise their turkeys so they would not get eaten on thanksgiving...so how did my kids want to do it? Like Mr. The King and lightning McQueen. So here's out best attempts at that:

Then I attempted 2 Pinterest projects. One was this flower on CJ's hat:
And the other was this handprint tree:

And my last project has been CJ's turkey shirt. A picture of her in it to come!!!

Happy thanksgiving y'all!!!

Happy early turkey day from two CUTE pilgrims!!!

Happy Halloween!

We had a very fun Halloween around here.  The boys thought it was awesome that they got candy!  They got to trick or treat at school, in the neighborhood, at a church, and we went to downtown Corsicana where the businesses were open and everyone trick or treated in them.  It was really fun!  Here are my two little astronauts and my little ballerina!

This picture is my favorite...I mean seriously...look at Caroline's face.  It is like she is seeing, "do you see what I have to live with?!!?!"

What a difference a few weeks can make

She's growing fast!!! Can't believe she'll be three months old on Thursday!
This picture is from a few weeks ago:

This is from two days ago...I like comparing her in size to Blake you can see she is taking up more space on his lap!
