Mad Dash

Okay, so I've been boasting for weeks how "I'm finished Christmas shopping!". Well, to my surprise, my husband didn't buy his dad's Christmas like I thought...so this morning (Christmas Eve), I make a mad dash to Wal-Mart. I now am finished with Christmas. And it never fails...$135.37 later I leave Wal-Mart. I go in for a Christmas present and some supplies to make Oreo balls (the bomb of a dessert) and I buy groceries. Who in their right mind goes out grocery shopping on Christmas Eve? Apparently me. Well, I hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas. I'll have pictures to post soon.

Merry Christmas!

Finally took the Christmas card picture!!!! I think that I'm going with the picture in color. Who knows, I may do something totally off the wall.

Braden 3 1/2

Here are a few pics of Braden, we were playing around in the front yard. Let me know what you think.

Lexie

I cannot believe that in a few short weeks my baby girl will be 7 years old. I guess that really means that she isn't a baby anymore. Time sure flies when your havin fun.

1st Grade Zoo Field Trip

Hueytown vs. Hoover

We played Hoover for the first round of playoffs. Unfortunately we lost, but I got a couple of cute pics with the cheerleaders. The first has Lexie in the arms of the squad. The second is Braden with Jessica.

Sorry!!!

Hey guys and gals! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted lately. My house has been ravaged by the dreaded virus. Lexie started on Monday and was still sick Wednesday morning. I started Wednesday morning. By 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, Brandon had Lexie in the E.R. getting fluids. I.V. and 2 1/2 bags and several hours later, she was slightly better. Still on the track to get normal. Then at midnight, Braden started throwing up. So, at 12:30, Brandon and I are scrubbing carpet and hopefully saving my comforter. Everyone seems to be better now, so hopefully I will get to blogging soon. Just say a little prayer that we can all get some much needed rest this Thanksgiving Break!

Okay, so here are my 7 random facts...
1.) I've realized that I am a complete reality tv show junkie. I just can't get enough of that stuff.
2.) I have been with my husband for over half of my life, sounds scary. We started dating in high school and have been together since.
3.) I love football, but I can't stand to watch it. It makes me so nervous, especially if I'm watching the team that Brandon's coaching.
4.) I absolutely can't stand anything that is creepy-crawly. I'm a total girl. Bugs, spiders, mice, lizards or snakes. Just gives me a full body shiver.
5.) I hate early mornings. I am a night-owl, always have been always will be.
6.) Most of the time I'm a very sacrastic person...even my young child has caught on to that.
7.) I have this passion for birthday parties. I love for them to be over the top, it stresses me out, but I love every minute.


I'm tagging Julie, Jana, Traci, Heather, Jennifer, Natalie & Nichole.

Halloween 08

We went to get treats and saw some friends; Ella, Presley, and AnnaLee. Brandon had a ballgame, so mom and dad came to help. I'm the obnoxious Bama Fan.

This is my mom, the "Blooming Idiot", hopefully you get the costume and realize that I'm not calling my mom names. Dad looks real happy in the background. His costume this year was a "Grumpy ole Bas$#@d". He didn't think that was a far stretch.

My Superheros

Mr. Incredible and Cyclone Girl

Halloween at school

Lexie had a little fun at school for Halloween. A "special snack" and a few games were played. It was really cute to watch the kids play "Musical Tombstones" and do the "Mummy Wrap". Lexie was the mummy and Maddi was wrapping her. She wore her halloween gear complete with her witch's hat. We were allowed to wear hats on Friday for a fundraiser.

Totally excited!!!

Well, I must admit that I'm totally excited about Halloween. Lexie has created her own "super-hero". She is using her costume from dance and it is so totally cute on her. And Braden is being Mr. Incredible. I'm thinking that I'm going to be "SuperMOM"!!! Really not much of a clothing change. Well, will post pics later. The kids are going to have to opportunities to wear those costumes. So Fun!!!!!

Just Talkin

The other night Braden was just talking and I had to capture it.
