Fun in Branson

This past weekend Abigail and I went to Branson with my parents. Eddy didn't have any days left to take off, so he had to stay here and work. Each year a group of families from the church I grew up in take a 4 day trip to Branson. It's really great to see everyone...most of them I've known since I was 9. We did lots of driving on Thursday and ate at a fabulous restaurant that night...great Italian food. Friday we did some shopping, rode the train and saw "Noah" the Musical. Abigail didn't do so great on the train...mainly because it was nap time, but she did fabulous during the musical. Of course with singing, dancing, and live animals I figure anyone would be happy! Saturday we did lots of shopping, but it was a great time to visit with old friends...and for our kids to play together. By 6:00 that night Abigail was totally worn out, so she didn't even get to go swimming with her new friends. But this gave mom and I a chance to have some time together. We were going to go to the Titanic museum, but they were closed...even though they said they sold their last ticket at 9, that was not the case. So we decided to drive through this 2.5 miles of lights. It cost 10.00 per person...and it was not very good...in fact, the one in Lindale is much better. And it took us at least an hour to get through it!! We got up and had breakfast Sunday at IHOP, then headed it out. It was a long day in the car, but we were safely home by 10:30. Needless to say I'm still trying to recoperate. And although lots of people think Branson is for older couples, I love it. I love the shows and the Ozarks and the weather! Hopefully next year we'll have as much fun...and Eddy has already taken the days off!

Our Thanksgiving

Happy Late Thanksgiving!


This year we went to the Water's house...Eddy's sister and her family. His Dad and Henrietta came up from Arkansas. We had a fabulous lunch, did lots of visiting, and played Bunco that night...it's tradition. And for once, Eddy won the highest prize...that's never happened to either of us...and we've been playing for 4 years!!




Barry, Jared, Bryan and I went to the Cowboys game that afternoon. It was my first pro game to go to, so I was super excited...and I learned lots of new things! The stadium is awesome, there are a ton of cheerleaders, and you basically have commercials...just to name a few. Our seats were great too...Thanks Chris and First Bank!! It really was totally awesome, and I'm hoping to visit the new stadium as well!



Abigail and I are off to Branson with my mom and dad on Thursday, so I'll let you know how it went next week! It's December!!!

Fever

Yesterday, Tammy (Abigail's sitter) called a little before 4 and said Abigail hadn't been acting like she normally does and she thought she had a fever. So, I go pick her and come home to find out it was 102.2. This is her first real fever (it had never hit 100 before), so I gave her some meds and called mom to make sure I had it all together. It was between 100 and 102 through most of the night, but she seems to be doing great today...crazy! And fever or not, she was still determined to play and try to have fun last night. Sweet little girl!

Tiny Dancer

This past Saturday Mom, Abigail, Katie, and I went to the Craft Bazzar at St. Ann's. We found these adorable tutus for such a great price! And Abigail loves hers! It's funny how she didn't want to wear her Tinkerbell costume, but she doesn't mind the crazy big tutu. Of course, it's much less constricting. My beautiful ballerina!

Halloween 2008

Take One...She HATED this costume. This was the second time we tried to get her to wear it and she just wasn't having it. Not sure why, but being Tinker Bell is obviously not who she wanted to be.
Take Two...LSU cheerleader! She seems to love her cheerleader outfit, so off we went to Trunk or Treat at FBC. She had so much fun, although sometimes she tried to give others her candy instead of getting some! We came home and let her go through all her candy, she chose a sucker and loved it. It was her first sucker and she was not excited when it was all gone. It was a great night!

Table for Eight

This weekend was one of the best I've had in a long time! A weekend of getting to enjoy what we used to take advantage of every week. It's always hard when such great friends move, but what a blessing that we have the internet!! Albuquerque (which I can finally spell without help) is beautiful...the mountains...amazing! And oh, the food...what a treat! Abigail had a blast with Emma, Noah, and Jonah...and us adults spent lots of time just relaxing. I can't wait for our next visit. We love you Bearden Bunch!!!!

20 Months

It's hard to believe how quickly your children grow up. It's hard to believe that in 4 months Abigail will be 2! Here are some highlights from the past month. Enjoy!!

She loves to feed her babies...she's such a little caretaker!

Cooking dinner with Mommy!

Chillin' on the couch....

Ready for the game...that LSU lost...

Playing on the lawn mower with cousin Hunter.

I found all the pumpkins!! We could never get her to look up at us!


My first Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich!!
