B-Day Fashion Show

Things have been very busy here, but we found some time to celebrate Jacie's birthday with some good friends and family. For the past 3 years Hannah and Hailey haven't been able to make Jacie's parties, however, this year we made it a "Date Party". They had so much fun together. Mema and Dado came down to spend the day with us and we all went to Gatti Town.






As you can see from the slideshow and the movie in this post Jacie had a great time and loved all the beautiful clothes she got. We even put together a fashion show for everyone. Cory and I can't believe our little girl is already 5, she looks so grown up even though she is still so tiny.

Christmas Lists

We have had several family members ask about the Kid's Christmas lists. We tried to put a wish list tool on the Blog, but had no success with it. S,o we decided to put them as a post. I'll keep adding if I remember anything I missed, so keep checking.

BasketBall

Rebels Hoops

Jordan plans to play basket ball this year with Hays. Several of his team mates are playing in a fall weekend league to get in some extra practice until basket ball season.
Mema and Dado visited us last weekend and we all went to cheer J on. Jacie kept Dado busy helping her color. While Jax tried on Mema's glasses.

Go Tanya ... It's your birthday.....Go Tanya....

Drum roll please..............

I made an "A" on my first Algebra test!!!!!!

WWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!


Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me. I have been sweating this class since it has, historically, been my weakest subject. This is a HUGE example of "taking it one day at a time".

One week down, and 4 1/2 more to go.

TYJC :~) Where I am weak, He is strong.

Jordan was a volunteer security helper for this year's pageant show. He and several other kids from our youth group at church helped out in seating as well as keeping the back stage free of unauthorized personnel. :)

At the beginning, as usual, he was so frustrated with us for "volunteering":~) him for this event, but by the end of the night he had signed up to be an annual volunteer. The theme was wild west, hence the cowboy hat. J was not happy at all with this get-up!!!!.........AT ALL!!!

Jacie and I went and watched the girls. They were all so beautiful.......we really had a great time.

The Birthday Girl :)

BIRTHDAY PRINCESS

Well, Jacie has officially turned 5. We can hardly believe how fast our little princess has grown up. She kept asking me, over and over, the night before her big day..........tomorrow?!?!........I'll be 5 tomorrow?"

We all piled into her bed on Monday morning and sang to her. Of course she ate it up. Then, that evening we had a small celebration and the strawberry shortcake was a big hit, as you can tell. Jax and Jordan had second helpings.....You see the plate to Jaxson's right?!?!?! Well, he reached over and snatched it up for quick bite, as well.

Caught in the act

We just had to share this with you.

Sunday Morning Pictures

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!!!

We took a few fall pictures this morning before church. Jaxson and I are struggling with severe allergies and it's taking its toll on us. We got lots of medicine this weekend so hopefully we'll start feeling better. Jacie wanted to take a picture of them crushing the fallen leaves. These two really take good pictures, I just love hearing them say "Cheeeesssseeee!" in unison.
