Turkey Day 2009 and More

Kylee with her Turkey shirt at Jason's parents. It's a common sight to see her standing by the back door because she always wants to go outside with the dogs. :)

We had lunch at Jason's parents on Thursday, and supper at my Grandmothers' house. We put up her Christmas tree that night for her, and Kylee broke at least three Christmas Ornaments.

I did manage to get most of all our decorations up this week!! But with Kylee's track record of breaking things, i have moved all the ornaments out of her reach. We will see how long that lasts!!

Playing with the Little People Nativity

We have more thanksgiving food to come on Sunday!!

How many of you did the Black Friday Shopping??? Last year, was my first year, and I really like the "hustle and bustle" and the competition it brings when you are looking for a particular item!! :)

My mom and I left the house around 5, which is really not early compared to the Old Navy shoppers at 3AM!!! Brianne met up with us around 9. Here is a least of the stores we hit up today:

Target

Walgreens

SONIC drink break!!

Tractor Supply

Family Christian

Hancocks (yes, only us would go to hancocks to get the 99C patterns, but they really did have good deals for our costumes for the Christmas Play)

Back to Target

Dillards

Old Navy

JC Penney

Chick-Fil-A

Dillards

Bath and Body Works

Walking the Halls of Wall

Tonight we went to the Wall Basketball Games!! It was a lot of fun, and brought back a lot of Great memories!! Decides the fact that I try to coach nearly every other play, I guess it is just in me for life no matter the occupation at the time, we had a good time!!

Kylee even enjoyed herself!! Coach Chitsey (my highschool coach and family friend) let her borrow his pen to write with!!

" Get out of my way Mom, I'm trying to watch the game!!"

Today, I am thankful for my 13 years at Wall School!! No, I am not going to tell you how great of school it was. But, I can tell you that my life was blessed tremendously in the time I had there!! The teachers and fellow classmates that impacted my life will always be close to my heart, and I count that as a Blessing from God!! From the elementary days in the school Christmas Plays, and learning to square dance with my classmates, to all the traveling we did together either in athletics, ag, or cheerleading!! I again count it all as a Blessing from God!!

As a parent and God willing, I look forward to be blessed by the memories that are yet to be made!!

ANGRY..

I am so mad at myself for not getting around to posting my THANKFUL post yesterday!! Man!! I just dropped the ball; with good reasons though!!

Today, I am thankful for being able to referree basketball games!! I know the outfit is pretty bad, but I do enjoy getting out of the house sometimes and I feel like I am connected with the school/basketball kids again!!

Tonight, I had only my 2nd game this year, but I am still enjoying it! I came home after the game, and Kylee just smiled and laughed at me; I think she was confused about what I was wearing with all the stripes and stuff. :)

And Jason, chanted "I'm blind, I"m deaf, I want to be a REF!!" :)

Day 10: Friends

This morning we are headed to a sweet, sweet friends baby shower in Wall. Susan is actually Jason's cousin down the line, but more than anything she is my friend too!!
This just really makes me think of how many great friends God has blessed me with throughout my life!!
I have childhood friends like the Garmons and the Reeds. What can I say, you guys are the best!!
I have high school friends like AMOS, Susan, Kysha, Skylar, and sooooooo many others, that I don't see or talk to all the time, but they will always have a place in my heart.
I have made church friends like Kelli, Amanda, Jaymie, Stephanie, Shanna, and all the new church friends we have. Ohhh, how I pray we stay friends forever!!
I have college friends from Phi Lamb like Jacque, Chelsey, Stacey, Holly, Kelly, Laura, Shaunna, Cassandra, Blair (who was my little sister :)), Michelle, Sarah, Beth and many, many more. I love the memories God has allowed me to make with you girls!!
This just makes me so HAPPY!! Thank you Lord for my friends!! Help me to be a friend to them!!
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when
he falls for he has no one to help him up.

Confirmed Case of......

Well, things are just rosey around here.....especially Kylee!!

We have a confirmed case of Roseollia!! Yep, went to the doctor this afternoon, and he said that is what it was. See, she had fever earlier in the week, and a runny nose. I just attributed both to getting new teeth!! On Wednesday, fever went away; then Thursday morning woke up, broke out in a rash, only on her trunk, which is the tell tell sign, of Roseolla. Rash was still there this morning, so we decided to take her in, and sure enough he confirmed it. Basically, he said "Every child gets it befor the age of 5, some get the fever and never get the rash, so it is never confirmed, but that Every child gets it." So, there we are right in the norm of things!!

The BIG news was she weighs, "18 LBS. 14 OZ."!! She gained over 2 LBS in less than two months!!

But, trying to keep her happy in the office for 45 minutes is very difficult.

And, I got this new bag from "Thirty-One Gifts". It is a thermal bag for bottles!! I really like it!!

Flights for the Ninth

I am thankful for connecting flights!! Jason's sister, Haley, is coming home on the airplane as we speak!! All flights were connected, which is nearly a miracle, especially since she was taking the last flight from Chicago to Dallas!! Praise the Lord!!

We can't wait to see Aunt Haley!!
