Deep thoughts, by Parker...

I think Jesus and Santa must be friends and work together at Christmas. Only nice people like Jesus and believe in him so he must want Santa to reward those people with gifts for his birthday!

I'll leave you with a cute picture of my kiddos on Halloween!

We went to Abilene a few weeks ago for Homecoming. We go almost every year and it's such a fun time with family and a great time for the kids to get excited about ACU!

Here we are getting ready to watch the parade

Go Wildcats!

Grandmama, Allie and Sydnee


We hung out in our hotel and relaxed. And ate WAY too many cookies! Melissa, Allie and Dani

We were so excited to see Mama. She came in from Nashville and it was a special treat to get to spend time with her!

Shoes

These look very practical and comfortable. I think I'll get some. I can wear them when I walk the kids to school!

OUCH!

I'm finally posting pictures of the house. I couldn't get them in any order so here you go....

Here is Allie's room. I'm going to paint it light pink next week. Please excuse the samples on the walls!

Another view

This blue heron keeps coming in my backyard. I thought it was really fun until I saw him grab a fish from my pond. I don't know how much those fish cost but I think it's too expensive for his breakfast!

The front view. We've had all the trees cut since this picture was taken but I don't have a new one!

The family room. We found a bigger mirror to go above the fireplace but we haven't bought it yet. We also need to decorate/organize all the shelves around the tv!

The kitchen

The breakfast area

Beautiful backyard!

We can't wait to have you all over!

I wonder what dogs think when they see us sit down on the toilet to pee. We pee in the same place every time. And we don't even sniff to make sure it's the "right" place...

Sadie was sitting on my legs while I typed this so I decided to include a cute pic!

The shirt pretty much says it all. If it hadn't been a medium in the junior section, I definately would have gotten it! (Remember this the next time I don't answer the phone!)

I was getting to the bottom of everyone's blog lists so I decided I'd better post something!

The kids started school this week. Parker is in the 2nd grade and Allie in Kindergarten. They both had a great first week of school. Parker had a great time seeing all his friends again and Allie has made some wonderful new friends. She met a girl at soccer practice last week and they go to school together. Only little girls can become best friends in a week. They hug and hug each other after school! I love it!

Parker in his classroom on the first day

Allie in her classroom. She's smiling but can you see the fear behind her eyes. Sweet girl was a trooper. She has had a great week though. Today she walked in by herself and after school today she said, "I LOVE school! I can't wait till Monday!"

Parker and Allie

Sweet kiddos!
