The Girl's Class Party's on Friday!

Hannah's class party was pretty simple. They had finger food and then Mrs. Long opened her gifts.

Gracie loves to go to the partys because she gets to eat at all the partys.

Emma's class did alot they sang a song for the parents and got to do some decorations. They had breakfast food. When the party's were over the girls had the chose to stay at school until 12:00 or come home with us. Well Emma did not want to stay at school so she came home with us but Hannah wanted to stay and play.

My new purchase at Trade Days!

Well we ( Brian, Gracie and I) went to Trade Day's yesterday and it was freezing cold so we did not get to look at everything. So my mom calls while she is there today and say's I have found what you have been looking for sooo I go back to Trade Day's again and this is what I bought. I am so loving it. The purpose of it is for the girls to have a place to put there school things on. It goes so well with the house.

Just taking picutres of Gracie, learning the settings on my new camera.

DADDY PLAYING WITH THE GIRLS

ONE NIGHT WHEN BRIAN CAME HOME I GUESS THE GIRLS HAD MISSED PLAYING WITH HIM SO THEY DECIDED TO ATTACK HIM. SO HE ATTACKED THEM BACK THEY LAUGHED AND GIGGLED THE WHOLE TIME THEY WERE PLAYING. DADDY HAS BEEN WORKING 7 DAYS A WEEK AND 12 HOUR DAYS SINCE HURRICANE IKE HIT. SO WE ALL HAVE BEEN MISSING DADDY A LOT THESE DAYS. HE HAS BEEN SO TIRED THAT IT WAS GOOD FOR THEM TO HAVE SOME FUN TOGETHER.

PAPPY AND MIMI'S PLOW DAY

ON THE SAME DAY AS THE GIRLS CHEER CLINIC PAPPY AND MIMI'S PLOW DAY WAS GOING ON. WHILE WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE SCHOOL HANNAH TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD WISHED SHE HAD WENT TO THE PLOW DAY INSTEAD OF THE CHEER CLINIC. SO I TOLD HER THAT AS SOON AS THEY WERE DONE WITH THE CLINIC THAT WE WOULD GO TO MIMI AND PAPPY'S. SHE TOLD ME THAT WHEN I COME TO PICK THEM UP FROM THE SCHOOL THAT I HAD BETTER BRING THEIR JEANS AND BOOT. THIS DAY IS HANNAH'S FAVORITE DAY, LAST YEAR EVERY STEP THAT PAPPY TOOK SHE TOOK. SHE WOULD NOT LEAVE HIS SIDE THE WHOLE DAY.

HANNAH AND EMMA'S CHEER CLINIC

HANNAH AND EMMA HAD THEIR CHEER CLINIC ON OCTOBER 18TH. HANNAH HAD WENT TO THE CLINIC LAST YEAR AND HAD A BLAST, BUT THIS YEAR EMMA WANTED TO ALSO BE IN IT. THEY GOT TO LEARN A CHEER AND DANCE EACH. THEN AT THE END OF THE CLINIC THE PARENTS HAD A CHANCE TO WATCH WHAT THE GIRLS HAD LEARNED THEY ALL DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. THE DANCES THAT THEY HAD LEARNED WERE TO HALLOWEEN MUSIC BECAUSE ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT THEY GET TO CHEER DURING THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE GAME. THE GIRLS ALSO RECIEVED A TEE SHIRT,POM-POMS, A MEGAPHONE, AND A CERTIFICATE FOR ATTENED THE CLINIC.

Larry's Old Time Trade Days In Winne

I found this little bench while Gracie was in a whinny mood so I thought that it would be a great TIME OUT! As I was paying for it I told her what it was going to be used for and all she could say is please no mama I'll be good. So when I got home I had decided to put it under our picture of Jesus so when they are in a time out they can think about what they have done and know's who is watching them all the time even though I might not.

These are little Ball jars that are salt and pepper shakers. Brian's Maw had a pair. He and I just loved the way they looked so I found a pair for only $2.oo for the set.

HANNAH'S SNACK DAY!

Today is Hannah's snack day so she wanted me to make Halloween cookies. So if you do for one, everyone wants Halloween cookies for their class. So last night I started making cookie with icing and ended up with 5 &1/2 dozen cookies. It took me 2 hours to bake and ice cookies. (WHAT FUN! THE THINGS WE DO FOR OUR CHILDREN!)

LOOKING BACK AT PICTURE'S OF THE GIRL'S AT THE BEACH

These pictures are of the girls on the steps of the beach cabin are the same pictures but different generation, when my sister's and I were little we also took pictures on these exact steps. These are probable the last memories of our girls at the same beach and beach cabin that my sister's and I went to every summer growing up. After Hurricane Ike the beach cabin that we have memories of is no longer there because of the storm surge
