Thanksgiving & Black Friday

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families. What a wonderful time to reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for. I am so, so blessed. Anyway we started the day off by driving to Lenoir City (Josh and I are both from there) to eat lunch with his family and then dinner with my family. Here are Ty & Marley eating with their cousins...

Pilgrim Ty & Pouting Marley eating their Thanksgiving lunches at Nana & Papa's. The food was delicious and the company was great!

At 5 o' clock we went to my Uncle & Aunt's house and ate Thanksgiving meal #2. It was so nice to see everyone and let the kids play.

Here I am with my Granny. :) I love to be around her and think about my Papaw, this was our 1st Thanksgiving without him.

Friday morning mom and I got up a little before 5 am and went shopping. We bravely decided to wake Ty up and take him with us and we all had a great time. We didn't find too many deals but we considered it a feat in itself to wait in line at Toys R Us for over an hour and none of us get in a fight. :)
Ty taking a break from shopping to ride the carousel.

Luckily Thanksgiving helped us stretch out our tummies for the all you can eat sushi buffet on Monday night. Oh yeah!

We're baacckkk...

The good news...I have my computer back, the bad news...they reimaged my hard drive and everything is gone. Let's hope I had most of it backed up. I had already lost the 1st 6 months of Marley's life on video, including her infant baptism. :(

And the last 3 weeks we have gone to 4 birtday parties and last weekend we went to Anna Kate's 1st birthday party and Bryce's 2nd birthday party. They have been lots of fun and getting us in the mood for our December birthdays!!


Here is Marley pushing her BIG baby.

Taking Leave

My computer is going to be sent back to HP to see if they can install a new dvd drive, so I will out of pocket for a couple of weeks. Hopefully I can make it that long!

Work with Josh & Painting Christmas Ornaments

This morning Ty left to go to work with Josh. They are drving to Pickwick, and total driving time is 7 hrs! Marley & I are meeting Tiffany & Anna Kate for breakfast and then we may go shopping. I think Josh is getting the raw end of the deal. :)

Last night Ty and I went and painted pottery at church. He painted a snowman and I painted a Santa cookie plate. It was a lot of fun!

Thanksgiving Feast at School & Double Ear Infection

Today Marley and I went to eat a Thanksgiving feast with Ty at school. It was really neat to see him with all of his friends. The teachers do such a good job with them!!
And little Marley Mo got diagnosed with a double ear infection today. Dr. Darke said that both looked bad and the right one was even bulging. Poor thing!

Lunch with Lula, Tessa & Phoebe

Today I had lunch with Tessa and her girls. It was so nice to see them and catch up and pick up my Atlanta goodies. Thanks Tessa!!

Macy is 1!!

Happy 1st Birthday Macy! Yesterday we went to Macy's party and we all had a great time. The food, cake, the decor, & the take home balloons were great, thanks Amy & Michael for everything! And Macy you were absolutely beautiful as usual. :)

Poor Marley...she looked so cute playing outside while I raked leaves that I went in to get my camera to capture the moment and by the time I got back this is what I got. :) She has been fussy than normal here lately and we are hoping that some teeth pop through to explain the fussiness.

Earlier this week when Josh was home he and Ty went and ran some errands together and I thought I would dress him in some comfortable clothes. Josh saw him come out in this BRIGHT orange outfit that showed his mid-driff and he asked that Ty not wear it anymore. Don't know if he didn't want to be seen with him in UT apparel or what?! Also the 2nd pic is of Ty absolutely hee hawing watching something on TV, he took a break from laughing and I took this pic. To see all of our pics click on the Nov album.

Arrgghh Matey!!

We have had a great weekend. Yesterday we went to Gavin McGowan's 3rd Birthday party and we all had a good time. His mom, Cara, had made this beautiful cake, had fun pirate games (including a pinata), cute treat bags, cool decor, yummy food, and the list goes. I told Ty not to get any ideas for his upcoming party...ha!!

Here are all the kids eating their cake & ice cream.

I know this sounds crazy, but I have enjoyed raking leaves this year (so far, and we have just begun) and Ty has enjoyed jumping in them. Here he is sliding into them at the bottom of his slide. Sunday we had a nice relaxing day and looking forward to having Josh at home for the next couple of days.

Newest Neighbor

I would like everyone to meet Finley Sara Snow, our newest neighbor. She was born a little after 3 pm on Monday, to Sam, Lisa & Hudson Snow and she is absolutely beautiful!

Here is Ty in his new Spiderman costume. He is giving his Fireman Sam costume a break and wearing Spidey now. It's kind of weird to see a kid who is not even 3 with so many muscles. Ha!

My sleeping beauty...

Here's a pic of our new roof. It only took them 3 days and it looks pretty good! Now my dear husband is going back and painting all of our eaves. Poor guy never gets a break.

Happy Halloween!!

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! We had a great time visiting with friends at our house before trick or treating in Old Towne. Thanks to the Duncan's, the Grau's, the Fore's, the Graham's, the Davis's, the Hammontree's, the Bullock's, & Hudson and Co. for stopping by and making us a part of their Halloween evening.
Also Ty was Fireman Sam this Halloween. He loved the costume and wears it pretty much 24/7...too cute!

Here's a pic of Marley in her hand-me-down, made for a dog, fire hydrant costume. All the other little girls get pretty princess costumes and poor Marley gets this!

We also had some roofers here this week putting a new roof on our house. If you look at all of our October pics you can see how yucky our old roof was (plus more Halloween pics). I will take a pic of our new roof later today. Have a great rest of the weekend.
