Will they ever forgive me?????

With Disney Fast approaching I thought this to be cute!!! Of course my boys will both hate me one day for these pictures but they looked way too cute to note consider it a photo opportunity!! Our neighbor was giving away this costume and Caleb saw it and thought Paker would love it!! Caleb came right home and tried it on!! Parker was napping and when he woke up and saw it he said "OH MY" we were rushing out the door at the time so as soon as we got back home he had to put it on!! I have to say these are the cutest nemos I have ever seen!!!

This will probably be my last post until after Disney (unless more funny moments happen around here)!! Can't wait to share all the wonderful photos we take while we are there!!

Cookies anyone???

Well today we invited friends over to bake and decorate Christmas cookies! Imagine 7 little ones all under the age of 4 trying to use the cookie cutters and sprinkles to create the perfect cookie to eat! I thought you all might enjoy seeing us in action as well as the finished product right before going in the oven!!


I think they cared more about the sprinkles than anything!


The two one year olds were on the floor at this point, very upset about not being a part of the action!!

It was a fun morning though! The boys really enjoy their friends and the special moments like these that they get to enjoy together!! We are very thankful for all the wonderful friends the Lord as blessed us as well as our children with!!

Here Comes Santa Claus . . .

This is the first year we went to Lenox and rode the pink pig ride! For those of you not in ATL this is a big thing that many families do as a tradition!! There normally is a long line for it but we got lucky and it was really short this year so we decided to give it a try and the kids loved it!! It made them really excited about what is to come next week at Disney!!!

Here are the boys waiting in line to ride! They were so excited!! Parker kept saying "I ride it" over and over!! We may have to follow the trend in ATL and make this an every year thing!!!

This is kind of far off but this is the actual picture we got of them with Santa, I was so shocked they did not cry! Caleb was very unsure and almost cried at first but once he got up there he was fine and loved Santa!! I bribed Parker with M&M's so he would not cry and he managed to hold it together! It is amazing what a little chocolate can do to a kid!! Of course the second I took him off his lap he said "MM's pwease"

Caleb is telling Santa he wants (get this) "A LOT OF STUFF!" The good thing for me is he was not specific so I don't have to rush to find one certain thing and A LOT of stuff from a 3 year old may only be a few small things!!! Parker is looking at them both like they are nuts!!

Here we are waiting in line to see the big guy Santa!! We were as excited as the kids!! Such a fun family moment!! My dear friend Jennifer went with us so she was great in helping us capture the moment!! Thanks Jennifer!!

Will it stay this way forever??????

Ok, so my pictures uploaded in the wrong order so before I put a comment under every picture I thought I should comment on the title of this post!!! You will understand that question a little better once you look at the last few pictures!! Caleb and Parker are just having so much fun together and love each other so much I am just hoping it stays this way forever. The first thing Parker asks for in the morning is "DEDE" which is what he is now calling Caleb!! He will go in his room grab his leg and say "Get up DEDE" then they walk around holding hands and just loving on each other. It is just so sweet! They both hate seeing the other saddened by anything and it just melts my heart!! They have their moments every now and then but for the most part they are just great together. I worry about one day maybe bringing another one into the mix He/She may get left out for sure!! Anyway, Hope you enjoy the new pictures! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, Christmas is right around the corner but first for us is our yearly trip to Disney!!! We leave a week from Sat and the kids are so excited!! Even Parker will tell you all the characters he is hoping to see when he gets there! We come home on the 20th and then Santa will be coming!!!



Here are the boys one morning when their buddy Chapel had spent the night!! The three of them play really well together!!

This morning I was trying to get dinner in the crock pot and I turn around and Parker had gone in the pantry got the cheerios put them on the table then crawled up there and was enjoying a little snack for himself!! Caleb was at school so he was being sneaky all by himself!! This is the look I got when he was caught!!

This was this morning right after waking up!! Sometimes I think Caleb would like a little space in the morning but there is none with Parker around, he can't get enough of his big brother!

Yesterday, Parker was just crawling all over Caleb and Caleb thought it was the funniest thing!!! I couldn't get the camera fast enough!

Parker went from sitting beside Caleb to wanting Caleb to hold him!! This was just the sweetest thing to me!! He kept telling him "Hold ME, DEDE" and Caleb said "can't you just sit beside me"!!!

Is the week Thanksgiving????

OH my I just realized I have not posted since Halloween!!! WHAT??? Is this week really Thanksgiving?? Where does the time go????? We have had a fun and busy month! My friend Tania from college came to visit for a weekend which was great! We have taken the boys to see a few movies and they have both loved them!! Parker loves going to the movies and he sits still and quite the whole time!!! This week we have a busy week lots to look forward to!! We are spending some time on Wed. with our old neighbors and we are so excited about that, we miss them so much!! Thursday we will spend the day with Eric's family and then Friday we are going up to visit his grandparents up in Blairsville!! Sat., my sister is passing through and I am looking forward to getting to see her even if it is only for a short bit!!! Sunday, a little rest a relaxation and that about covers our Thanksgiving holiday!!!
We already put up our Christmas stuff and we are loving it!! I normally do it the weekend after Thanksgiving but since we have a packed week we thought we would get a early start! So here I sit in front of my tree as I type this post and I just love Christmas!!!
Every night at dinner I have had my kids tell me something they are thankful for and we are making it into a craft which we will finish on Thanksgiving, it has been so good for them as well as for Eric and I! I encourage you all to stop and think of all the things you have to be thankful for!! I know times are hard for so many right now and the economy has seen better days but the Lord is still good and he has blessed our lives so much!! Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgivng!!
I promise for those of you that have hung in there and still check my blog, thanks and I will not wait so long to post next time!!

Trick or Treat!!!!!!

These pictures uploaded in the wrong order but this is Parker as the end of the night!! He had so much fun!! He loved it and would even say"trick or treat" at each door then would say "tank you, b-y-e" so precious! My little pirate!

Here I am with my little pirate right before we started out! At first he did not want to wear his costume, the only way I could get him in it was to tell him that he would get to ride in the wagon, with that he was trying to put the costume on himself!! It amazes me with these little ones, they can be loosing it one minute and if you say just the right thing to get their attention they can get it together in a second, if you say the wrong thing, the fit can continue for a while!!!

Here is my little "HOOK"!! I know he is my kid but he looked adorable! this costume was just too cute! I could not believe he even let us do his mustache and it just looked perfect!!! He is giving me his mean "Hook" look in this picture!

Like Father Like Son!!!! Double trouble!! They are too cute!

CHEEEEEESE!!!! He knew he looked cute and was just so proud of that whole costume!!
It was such a fun night! This was the first year that I actually got to go with the boys and watch them trick or treat! In the years past I would stay here with Eric's mom and I would hand out candy! Well, this year I just had to be a part of it. I said I was only going to go to a few houses but once I got out there I was having so much fun watching them I could not come home till we were finished! I loved watching both of them! Caleb made sure at each house he did not get any candy that had peanut butter in it and Parker did not care he just wanted to take hand fulls at each house! We went to one house that was handing out large bags of M&M's and Caleb was so excited! Hope you all had a fun and Safe halloween!

Disney On Ice

Sorry, all we got close up was the back side of Tinkerbell!! They did a whole segment on her new movie that comes out this week, it was cute!

Parker's favorite part of the whole thing, Mickey Mouse!! He would wave to him and try to tell him he would see him at Disney World!!

Tinkerbell flying in!!

My sweet boys sat there and held hands they were being so sweet to each other. Caleb was making sure Parker was having a good time!

This part was so cool!!

PUMPKIN Carving!!! Cont

Ok, the top picture looks like it is just floating there, that was taken with the flash off, the bottom picture I did not think you could tell very well what it was!! Anyway!!

PUMPKIN Carving!!!

We had such a great day together as a family! We went to see Disney on Ice (pictures will be posted later) then we came home, rested, had dinner and carved our pumpkins. Well, let me correct myself, Eric carved the pumpkin and Caleb and I just watched. Eric's parents were here for the fun so we had a great day! I had to post the pumpkin, I thought Eric did such a great job on it!! You all know how much Caleb loves anything Pirate so when he saw how this turned out he loved it!!!

The Silly Boys!!

Here is Caleb and his friend Emma today when she was about to leave they started getting really silly, I couldn't miss the photo opportunity!!!

So sweet!!!

Daddy and his sweet boys!!

I love how Caleb is smiling so big and Parker is loosing it!!! He was really just trying to hug him for a picture not torture him!!!

Parker has on PJ's that were Caleb's last year and Caleb has on some that belonged to his cousing last year!! Too cute not to take their picture in them!!

CHEEEEEEEESEEEE!!! I would give anything for his eyes!

Pirate PJ's and cowboy boots, these are actually Parker's PJ's but Caleb had to wear them!
So I have been searching every Targer possible for Caleb's size, finally found one!

OK, Parker was not happy when daddy took off his shirt to put it in the wash!! he stood at the laundry room door for probably 30 mins. trying to get the door open to get in there and get his shirt!! He was not happy!

Happy Anniversary to us!!

So Last Saturday Eric and I celebrated 6 years of marriage!! We had a great night out together! It is so hard to believe we have been married that long and on top of that have been so amazingly blessed with two beautiful healthy children!! God has been so good to us!

Honey, thank you for the best 6 years, I love you more today than I did six years ago! You work so hard to provide for our family and we are so grateful for you and the job you do! Looking forward to many more happy years together and watching what God has for us and our family in the time ahead! I love you!!

Wedding Weekend!

Here are a few pictures from my dear friend Liana'a wedding last weekend!!



Classic dance face!!! Although I am not a good dancer Eric and I always have so much fun on the dance floor! He always clears the floor as he breaks out all his smooth moves!!

The Bride and the Groom!

Note to self, that angle is terrible, no I am not expecting my 3rd child it just looks that way!

Ruth and Melissa that I use to work with at Victoria's Secret!!

Jennifer, Melissa, Ruth and I all worked together at Victoria's Secret!! I am so blessed by their friendships!!

Eric and our friend Karri!! I was so glad she was able to come into town for the wedding!

Ok, it has been so busy around here!! I guess I am playing catchup by posting three posts in the same day!! I guess I was getting a little behind. I have to blame part of it on my new addiction Facebook!! I just signed up for it after making fun of all the others that I know that are on it!! WOW does it suck you in!!!!! I have now found friends that I have not seen since middle school! It is just crazy to me! So all that to say . . . forgive me for being such a slacker on here and giving all my spare time to the world of facebook! If you have not signed up on there and plan to . . . beware it is addicting!!
