It was a FUN Birthday Party for Matthew

This is what we have been doing!!

Emma has had many dance practices... She was a mouse in "The Nutcracker"

We had Christmas with my dad and mary louise last night.... Emma got a pottery wheel... She is pumped!

Matthew has a sheriff costume... He loves to dress up!

Anderson got a golf cart with clubs and balls... He was pumped!!!

Emma and Matthew got real golf clubs!!! They love them!!!

She was so excited!!!!

Christmas Caroling!!! Emma Momma made Anderson a baby bird nest on the trailer to let him lay down!!! It was so cute... She always taken care of him!

I would say there was around 60-70 people on the trailer spreading the cheer!

Emma all bundled up!

Ryan and Anderson between songs!

Santa made a surprise visit out of one of the houses we were singing at... The kids were so thrilled!

Anderson and Kate.... eating before we went caroling!! I love this picture of them!

Emma was Mary in the Church Christmas Play!!!

Matthew was a COW in the play

Emma wins 2nd this year!!!

so last year Emma Grace won 1st in the pumpkin contest at Bayou... guess what she won 2nd this year!! I am so proud of her..

This year she picked out her design a month early... She was reading a book and found a owl... and she said that is what she wanted her pumpkin to look like! Her is her pumpkin! When I say she did most of the work- here is what she did!!! I promise! Painted both base colors on her pumpkin.. Ryan then attached both pumpkins together for her... A week before she found some gold spray paint in my collection of spray paint and spray painted her fern leafs that she used for her back feathers.. We then found some white feathers in all our crafts.. she glued those on and then painted some paper yellow and glued that on the feathers and added the giggly eyes! She painted the pumpkin stick brown for the beak!

Matthew wanted to do a vampire!!! He painted his pumpkins, Ryan stacked them for him... We dressed the pumpkins in a cape and shirt.. Matthew then thumb tacked hair on top and painted his pumpkin... I then hot glued the vampire teeth on his mouth... Matthew was little upset he didn't win, but his pumpkin was really cute for a 5 year old to make!! I am very proud of him!!!

Paint Your Date!!

When I say this was so much FUN, I am not lying!!! I hope you all get a chance to book a date for Paint Your Date... I laughed so hard my chest hurt! I recommend you booking a class at Locals, I promise I am not saying this because I own locals, but I saying it was so much fun!!! We had supper, dessert, and beverages available... Check out our masterpieces!!!

Delta Magazine.....

The Delta Magazine called on Friday and asked if I would be interested in carving a pumpkin for next year fall issue.. well, um... of course, but I have been so nervous, after all it is the delta magazine (big honor) well this is the best I could do... Since I love to paint whimsical I decided to carve my pumpkin whimsical!! It has a princess barbie inside waving..

For Anderson's 2nd birthday party we filled the mans room with balloons everywhere, pool full of balls, and a small jumping thing!!! It was the perfect spot to have his small party!!! The kids had a blast, the weather was GREAT!!! Yes, Anderson had a helment on... It was just 6 days after his accident.. He was acting like a crazy child with all the balls and balloons.. He needed the helment!!

Look out this cute cake by Jacki Morgan!!! She is my favorite cake lady ever!!!

We Miss Lucky!

Lucky is no longer with us! I caught emma today crying very hard on the swing outside... She eventually told me she was crying because she missed Lucky.. Lucky got ran over around 2 weeks ago!!! I feel so sorry for Emma, Lucky was her best friend! He lived long enough for the family to tell him bye. He was the perfect dog!!! He had one downfall.. He loved to chase cars.. The girl that hit him stopped and told us.. She was very upset!!

Mr. Raymond.. (next door neighbor) found us a baby german shepard.. He is really cute, but he is not Lucky!! Anyway, I just wanted to share some photos of our friend, Lucky..
