'Tis the Holiday Season!

It's just now Christmas break and I feel like our schedule has already been piled up for weeks. Ice days last week kept me in and made Thurday and Friday hectic. We've had our weekends packed with deer/duck hunting (Coby), niece's cheerleading competition, work and Sunday School Christmas parties,weddings, and dinners with friends. I must say, it has been just enough to keep us busy and enjoy the season. For Christmas we plan on staying with the tradition of the past few years. Christmas Eve at my parents and church, Christmas morning at Coby's brother's house for breakfast, my parents during the day, and Coby's mom's for dinner. We are going to go to TN to see Coby's brother the weekend after Christmas. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

turkeys to trees

The Friday after our wonderful and relaxing turkey day Coby went to the football game and I was left home to finish Christmas decorations. We are in the festive mood here now, except for the tree that won't stop leaning. Oh well, it makes it seem a little more authentic I suppose. Satuday began our streak of poor luck. (Not bad luck, things could always be worse.) Don't they say things like that always come in threes?
1. Saturday on our way to Hot Springs Tasso vomited in the car.
2. Saturday on our way back home the tailer with the 4-wheeler on it blew a tire.
3. Sunday my computer thew a huge hissy fit and went all "blue screen" on me.

But as I said things could be worse. Tasso's issues seem to have resolved, and the trailer and the computer have been fixed.
In Hot Springs we 4-wheeled to the top of Hickory Nut Mountain. What a beautiful view. It is located just before you get to Mt. Harbor. Recommended for a good day trip.
This weekend Coby is going to look at deer in the woods, and I have a full agenda of nothing, which I happend to be looking very forward to. I might get some of my Christmas shopping done. Something I usually have done before Thanksgiving!

That's about all folks.

Baby Macey

We had a shower for Jenny and Baby Macey at my house on Sunday. It was a wonderful afternoon with lots of cute baby things. Can't wait for Macey to be here and come over and play!

Nebo Mania!

What a weekend. I spent it on Mt. Nebo for Elizabeth's bachelorette party. A weekend full of dancing, singing, eating, jigsaw puzzles, provocative "Clue", Phase 10, and pajamas! All this with a great view to boot! Had fun girls! Oh, and a trip to Mt. Nebo would make a good day trip and a fantastic camping trip- I highly recommend it.

Sign the petition!

It's prematurity awareness month! Working in the NICU for awhile and acknowledging that most of the children I work with now were either premature or had some sort of trauma at birth I see the need for March of Dimes everyday. I remember growing up and going with my mom around the neighborhood with our little cardboard box and "marching for dimes". Now all you have to do is make a donation online or help by signing this petition. The nation as a whole received a "D" in it's rating of premature births, and our state received an "F". So, take a second to do some reading and sign a quick petition of support. Maybe someday I will need a career change because all babies and kids will be healthy!

Oh Happy Day!...

...When Dee and Dave got MARRIED! A wedding packed weekend. Friday was the bachelorette party/sweat shop. We assembled programs and wedding favors in matching aprons! I know- it was a wild time. Saturday was the rehearsal dinner with the wedding on Sunday at Garvan Gardens in Hot Springs. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful wedding!
Congrats guys!







Looking forward to a relaxing weekend at home. I might even attempt to rake the 798,362,965,001 leaves in our front yard!
