Merry Belated Christmas
Gina is....guilty of cheating on my blog!
Okay.....I didn't mean for it to happen. It just did. I wasn't expecting for it to be so fun. So seductive! Once I started, I just couldn't stop myself. I cheated...on my blog...with facebook. SO, I have totally neglected my blog for about 3 months!
We have gone through Christmas and New Years and I have yet to post to the blog...alhtough I update my FB status weekly. Mom got me a new camera for Christmas, so I am vowing that I get the pics downloaded and posted soon.
As for current news... Christmas was fun even if Parker had pink eye which kept us homebound for three days. New Years was a blast .... enough said about that. Sorry, Anita. You know what I am talking about. LOL. We are starting to rebuild our cabin at the Deer Farm. It is looking awesome. We do catch alot of grief b/c we got the "big" bedroom! Ha! Anyway, the guys have been working their butts off every single night trying to get it done....we still have a long way to go.
We are getting ready for a fun filled February. Jim and I are going with a bunch of our friends to see Larry the Cable Guy in Jonesboro on Valentines Day. We are such rednecks! We will get to visit with our other friends at a Hot Springs trip. Then, Melanie and I are taking the Youth to Veritas in Hot Springs the next weekend! Busy, busy month ahead. Parker and Roman both have birthdays in March so we are planning for that little party too! Ummm...Transformers or Cars or Spongebob! Oh to be 5 & 3 again.....the depth of your decision making! LOL!
I will try to get pics posted soon!
Happy Halloween & Harvest!
We wrapped up our first year of Corning Youth Soccer, a faith based organization, with a family fun day. All the kids got to eat hot dogs and chili, play on inflatables, and receive their medals. Well....all but Parker, he threw a huge fit during the game and mom had to take him home. So, he missed out on the fun. :( Roman had a blast though.
We went to Harvest Festival and I started the day with the 5K. This was my first time so my goal was just not to last, which I succeeded! LOL! I usually *practice* during the afternoons so I had no idea how mornings could play such havok on the sinuses. I swear I ran about 3/4 mile and it felt like they swelled shut. Eventually my nose opened back up and I was back to normal. Maybe that is why the big timers use what looks like smelling salts?? Anyway, the women's division was won by a 12 year old girl...22:xx, at least I wasn't beat by a 72 year old woman! ha!
We had an All Hallow's Eve party at our house for the church. The kids and youth came. We had a bon fire, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, made smores and caramel apples, made some crafts and had a hayride. I think we all had fun. I dressed up as a kitty and parker and roman wore their Transformer costumes.
Halloween came and we had chili at our house and then went trick or treating. We all piled up in the hay trailor and had another hayride. Noah was a Ninja, Katie was Hanna Montana, Parker was Bumblebee and Roman was Optimus Prime. They had the best time. Thanks to Mr. Miller who gave them all chocolate milk and Ms. Stacy for making them all cupcakes! Happy Halloween!
