Thanksgiving holidays are here. I am so excited for a break from the school days. This is a much needed rest. My JV basketball ended on a good note before Thanksgiving, and we are 5-2 now. Yeah! I am really enjoying getting to coach the girls. They are great. I'm sure over Thanksgiving I will be posting pictures, but here are some of Addi riding "Big Red" the other day. She absolutely loved it. And of course paw-paw has already gotten her, her own horse to ride when she is big enough. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Brianne!!

LOVE YOU!!

Happy Birthday to a man who has always, 100% loved my mom.

Happy Birthday to a man who loves, supports, provides, teaches his children.

Happy Birthday to a man who opens his heart and loves his grandchildren like his own.

Yes, today is my dad's BIRTHDAY. He is truly a hero in my life. I heard a quote one time that said "The best thing a man can do for his children is to love their mother." I so truly believe that. He has been a role model in every area of my life: marriage, faith, friendships, disappointments, victories.

I am proud to call him my daddy.

Happy Birthday Dad!

This is the score of our first basketball game on Tuesday night. We won in OVERTIME!!! Yes, to remind you this was my first basketball game to ever coach. So I was nervous as it was, and then it has to go into overtime. My was I a wreck. :) But it all turned out good, and we won by 2. YEAH!! I was talking to the head coach, and every JV game we play will probably be a battle. So I guess I better get used to it. We are going to play so good teams right before Thanksgiving, so hopefully we can do well in those. Jason got to come and watch, so that made me happy. He is so sweet to make time to come even when they are extremely busy.

New Pictures of Addi and Karter. My niece and nephew.

How cute is he!!! He is 3 months old, and is wearing his little farm nighty(sp?).

He laughs and smiles so much now. I was trying to take a picture of him smiling, but there is a delay on my camera, and I could never get it. Here he has a little smirk. It is absoulutely adorable.

What a blessing!!!

Well, it's official. November has arrived and brought the FALL weather with him. The mornings and evenings are cool and brisk. Start getting the sweaters and jackets out.

Just a little update on what we have been up to. Halloween Night was okay. Jason is busy along with his dad and brother stripping. Yes, stripping. :) So, I went to our Trunk "r Treat at our church. It was nice to see our church reach out to little kids. I didn't realize how cool and brisk it was on Halloween. It was really chilly. But Addi and Karter are both kinda of sick so that makes for a long night. They weren't to much into trick or treating.

For some reason on Thursday nights, I just love to clean the house. It is like I am getting a head start on it before the weekend or something. And then I feel good, that I am already done cleaning before Friday or Saturday gets here. So last night, Jason didn't get home until 9, so I just cleaned away. I also made Caramel Apples, and white chocalate popcorn. Yummmm.... they both turned out yummy.

Our weekend, should be pretty calm. Nothing to exciting going on. Mom and Dad are at the PBR in Vegas with some friends. So Brianne and I are holding down the fort. HAHAHA!!! Or so we think.
