Christmas Parade 2010

We had a great time at the Christmas Parade this year. This was a big year for Lillian. She was so excited about the bands and cheerleaders. To pass the time I packed Barney to watch. Boy, was that the best decision! They were so good waiting on the parade because we always get our parking spot by 4:30 and the parade doesn't usually get to us until 6:30.

Watching Barney

Watching Barney too!
So tired because she didn't have a nap at the sitters.

Abby Lee!

My family always goes to Cracker Barrel for supper after the parade and this year was no different. Abby is having a ball playing with the toys while we wait for our table.

Next up......Disney on Ice!!

Thanksgiving 2010

We started out with Thanksgiving at my mom's on Thanksgiving night. Of course we had a fantastic meal!! I just had to get Lillian and Abby these shirts because it fits them just right! We are thankful for both of them!!
Abby loves talking on the phone. She is constantly saying, "Hey!" and "Bye!"

Doesn't Will look cute with the yellow hairbow???

Then after the bad loss to Auburn we headed to Chris' mom's house. I did not take any pictures here because Abby had started running fever and wanted me to hold her a lot that night. And of course again we had a wonderful meal! I am so thankful that my mom and Chris's mom can cook such great food!! My rear end is where all that wonderful food is right now........I might have to be on a diet after the new year!! Next up, Christmas parade.

A little behind!!!

I know.........I know!! I haven't been blogging lately. We have been on the go so much that I am just exhausted that I just check Facebook and then head to bed. But I hope to catch up this week. Before Thanksgiving our 5th grade went on a field trip to Nashville to see Mega Mind 3D and then to see ICE. We have a lot of fun except for our bus driver. He was the lead bus and got lost three times. Luckily we were only just 30 minutes off of our schedule. Hope you enjoy the pics!!

This is where the ice slides are located!! Fun!!

It is so amazing of how they can shape the ice and then put the colors into it. Hope to have more postings later!!

Happy Halloween!!

This Halloween was just right for Abby! She loved it!! She wouldn't let anyone have her pumpkin that carried all of her goodies. She enjoyed being able to put her goodies in her pumpkin. On a side note, she almost didn't get to go. She woke up around 11:30 p.m. Friday night throwing up! She threw up probably 6 times and finally stopped around 4:00 a.m. that Saturday morning. She was fine the rest of the day so maybe it was something that didn't set well with her stomach. Here is the picture before we started our night.

Snow White Lillian and Ladybug Abby

We don't do the neighborhoods like some, we just visit family since we have so many. We made ten stops and we left off two other stops. Here is Lillian waiting on Aunt Deanie to open the door.

Abby walking in her squeaky shoes that she absolutely loves up to Aunt Deanie's house.

Quick pose with cousins Khloe and Emily (which are my cousin Britt Christopher's girls) at Aunt Deanie's house.

We went by both sets of grandparents and then off to see my sister Tammy who was camping at Mt. Rozell. Our supper consisted of good ole Christo's. Yummy!!! Then our last stop which has been for years is Chan and Marla's. By this time our girls were so cranky!! I know that Allie was thinking who are these crazy loud girls.

Sweet Allie

Two ladybugs and Snow White

Soo sweet!

After visiting for a while we headed for home. Thank goodness for putting on pajamas before we left because they were out halfway home. Lillian is already planning for what she wants to be next year. Hope that everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!!

Pumpkin Carving and Fall Festival

Wow, what a week!! It just seems like weeks are flying by so fast and before you know it Christmas will be here. On a different note, Abby went to the doctor yesterday for her check-up and some nasty shots. She is in the 100 percentile in height!! It won't be long before she is catches up with Lillian.

Loving on Daddy!

Loving on Lillian!

Lillian asked her daddy for a whole week to carve a pumpkin. Well, last Saturday they got to carve it! She was sooo thrilled! Abby missed out on it because she was napping.

Just getting started

Watching carefully
Helping!

Finished!!

So proud of her pumpkin!!

Blue Springs had its first fall festival this past week. Each grade level had different things. 5th grade had jail (which made our most money) and then cake walk. We had so many things that looked so good. I had asked Mrs. Sam to donate a cake. Well, she really out did herself!! She made this jack-o-lantern cupcake!! It smelled soooo good! My co-worker's mom won it. I was hoping that I could just keep it for myself! LOL!!

Lillian's favorite.........popcorn!!

I didn't get to do a whole lot of things with Lillian because I had to work the booths. But I did get to do some things with her. While she was riding with Mommy on the train, she was enjoying a red snow cone.

5th grade had a contest to raise some more money. The teacher with the most money would get a pie in the face. Thank goodness that was not me!!!! Poor Mrs. Anderson...........she got the pie in the face. Kaleb was getting ready to pie her! Mrs. Anderson was just ready for it to be over!!

Oh, my!!!!!

All in all we had a great turnout and raised a lot of money for our school. I was dragging the next day because I was at work from 7:20a.m. till 8:30p.m. that night. I felt like I had just spent the night at school. Lillian was so worried that I was going to be the one with the pie in the face.......so glad that I wasn't the one!

The next night Lillian and Abby went to the A.B.S. fall festival. Of course, they had a ball with Aunt Rob. Chris and I had a little date night. Part of our time was spent at the funeral home and then it was off to eat.

Sunday night after church we had the best scavenger hunt with our friends from church. It was so much fun!! A big high five goes out to Brooke and Alicia for getting it together!! Can't wait for next year's fun!!

Pumpkin Patch!

Last Saturday Leanne and I took Lillian and Katie Lee to the pumpkin patch in Tenn. They had a ball even though it was so hot........too hot for the month of October!!! I decided to leave Abby at home this year because she would be too little to enjoy things. I am so glad that I didn't take her because she doesn't do to well in hot weather. Next year she will be just the right age. Anyway, this was Lillian's first time to the pumpkin patch and she was so excited!!

Pumpkin Bounce!

Another bounce and slide blow up
Playing in the corn

Cheese!

Lillian's idea of a silly face

Mommy and Lillian

Which one???

I found one!!

A perfect pick!

Leanne got some good pictures of the girls looking at the camera together. The ones I took either had Lillian looking off or Katie Lee looking off. I know that they can't wait until next year to go back.

Fiddler's Convention 2010

This was Abby's first Fiddler's Convention. She was too little last year to get her out in the nighttime air. I believe she enjoyed herself. We always enjoy the Fiddler's. This year was a little different since Chris is working for Athens State now. He had to work both nights so that meant that I was on my own with the girls. But not totally because I had enough family there to help out. We look forward to next year!

Getting ready to stroll

Every year my sister Tammy parks her camper around the library and Guinn has lunch there for everyone making music. My girls had the biggest time. Lillian is already a music buff and I think that Abby is going in the same direction.

Mark is enjoying the music!

Aunt Tammy and Abby
Loving the bluegrass!!

I love hearing my sister sing!!!

Patting the stool to the beat

This really has nothing to do with the Fiddler's but I just had to share. Abby loves feeding herself. If you let her feed herself then everything disappears on her plate. But, boy, does she ever make a mess. After she eats we have to put her straight into the tub. I don't know if you can really see her face but she has it all over her.

What a mess!!!!

Hope to have pumpkin patch pictures next.
