Happy Thanksgiving!

Alex came home from preschool last week singing the cutest song! We finally got it recorded for all to see! Sammy couldn't stand letting Alex have all the attention, so she made up a song herself. I don't know where she gets it from...it makes me laugh. Alex really loves to sing this song! Happy Thanksgiving!



There is nothing like a turkey trot and a turkey bowl to make Thanksgiving complete. The whole family before the festivities started.

Christmas Card time

It is the time of year to start thinking about Christmas cards. George had to work one Saturday, so I dressed the kids up and took some pictures in our yard. This one is one of my favorites. You'll have to wait for the Christmas card to see the other ones.

Endeavor Space Shuttle Launch

What an exciting time we had at the space shuttle launch! We drove three hours north to Titusvill, parked on the side of the road, and found a great spot next to the Indian River to view the launch. We waited three hours (mostly in the dark) for the launch to take place, but it was worth it! As you can tell from the video I thought it was really cool...who knew my vocabulary was so small.

All I want for Christmas is....

MY TWO FRONT TEETH! Or maybe three front teeth and one on the bottom. :) Sammy has been loosing teeth like crazy. With any luck she may get her wish this year.

Adorable Girl!

I know I am biased, but Clara is such an adorable girl! I swear she gets whatever she wants with that smile and those eyes. And she is at such a fun age; getting into everything, laughing at everything, & wanting to be part of it all. Here are a few shots over the last few weeks.

Pictures don't lie.

Clara loves to pull her self up to everything and stand. It opens a whole new world to her.

Playing with her dad (her favorite thing to do). Her first words were "hi dada" if that tells you anything!

She has become quite the fast crawler...she doesn't stay in the same place very long.

I don't know how she got in here, but she couldn't get out!

Halloween Fun

I have to admit I love Halloween! I love to see all the kids dressed, their HUGE smiles as they get candy by simply saying "trick-or-treat", and of course eating the candy myself. This year I have eaten more than normal...I know I'll pay for it later, but it tastes so good.

This year we had a very stylish Hannah Montana, a fast Spiderman, & a cute bunny.

Eating some candy after a very fun church "Trunk-or-treating". They just couldn't wait to get home to partake.

Nobody home at this house...but Alex and Sam had to be sure.

Trick-or treating in the neighborhood.

It was raining a little bit that night, so Clara was protected.

They got TONS of candy! I am so glad the Sugar Fairy comes the next day and takes the candy leaving a fun surprise instead. Alex wasn't quite sure he wanted to part with any of his candy, but with some coaxing he did. The Sugar Fairy may have to retire this year. The candy is just too much for them to resist.
