Another year, another circus

We celebrated Thanksgiving with Brad's parents during the evening. We usually eat way too much because we have lunch at my parents and then turn around 3-4 hours later and eat supper with Brad's parents. Every year after dinner, we go to the Shrine Circus. The boys enjoy it and that's what matters. They had a great time and thankfully there were some new acts this year. We have so much to be thankful for, our family, friends and our freedom to worship. Thank you Jesus for all you have given us.

Just a few Thanksgiving shots

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with both sides of my family at my parents house. My aunt unfortunately was admitted to the hospital early Thanksgiving morning (she is fine) so Brad and I took over frying the chicken (some people in our family do not like turkey). My sister made Thanksgiving place mats with the kids and we used them to decorate the tables. We have 3 November birthdays in my family, me (6th), my sister (who turned 30 this year on the 25th) and my dad (27th). We celebrated my dad's birthday on Thanksgiving day because the family was together. We had a 30th birthday party for my sister the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The last picture is of the 3 cousins, my boys and my nephew Justin. We ate so...........much food but had a wonderful day spending time with the family.

TYPICAL FALL DAY IN SOUTHERN INDIANA!

Colts vs 49ers

On November 1, Brad took Jordan to his very first NFL game ever! Our pastor (who is a big 49ers fan) went too! The three of them had so much fun and best of all, the Colts won!!!!

Trunk or Treat (a little late!)

We held our annual Trunk or Treat on Halloween night and I took tons of pics but since I'm a month late with posting them, I only posted a few! Above are my good friends Danielle, Nicole and Stacey and of course me and my boys. Jordan did not dress up this year and Jacob was a Clone Trooper from Star Wars. We had an awesome evening handing out candy and witnessing.

Jordan's 1st guitar lesson!

Jordan started guitar lessons tonight! He got a guitar for his 7th birthday and he is 8 1/2 now! We have been searching for a teacher and we had one last year but he died before our lessons started. God knew exactly what we were looking for and He met all our needs. We wanted someone here in Boonville, someone that wasn't expensive and someone that knew Praise and Worship music to teach Jordan! He answered every specific request we had, how awesome is He!!!! I hope to see Jordan on stage at our church one day, playing for the Lord!

Today is my 3_ birthday!

Today is my birthday and my whole life, I have loved birthday's! It's that one day that is set aside for you and you alone! I am so thankful that God has blessed me with another year. I am so thankful for my husband and my two boys, Jordan and Jacob and all my family and friends. I have learned so much over the years and thank God for being patient with me, for loving me and never giving up on me! His love endures forever! Jesus died when he was 33 years of age and what an impact his death has meant for us! I hope I make a difference this year at the age of 33 to impact the world for Christ!

Jacob's Preschool Halloween Party

Jacob's preschool Halloween party was Fri., Oct. 30. He had so much fun playing games, making crafts and listening to Halloween stories. His buddies are Eli Smith and Hudson Nelson and they three get along really well. He loves school and is doing really well. We received his progress report/evaluation yesterday and he did so good, his teacher says he's a joy!
