Thanksgiving

Last year during this time, we were on vacation in Florida. We spent Thanksgiving Day with these characters!! It was a very different Thanksgiving day for us. We had a wonderful time, but did miss our "traditional" dinner. So this year we are looking forward to our traditional dinner.
We are so thankful for so much in our lives. We love our family and friends. Hope everyone enjoys the day.

Weekend of Soccer!

We had a gorgeous weekend of soccer. The weather could not have been more perfect for soccer. We went to North Little Rock to Burns Park to play in the Fallfest Tournament. It was suppose to have been last weekend, but the rain forced it to this weekend. We have been playing in the tournament for as long as I can remember. Michael started playing in it years ago, then it became to the point where they BOTH played in it, now it is just Jacob playing in it. Jacob was so young when Michael was playing that he use to have to "trick or treat" down there, because many times it would actually fall on Halloween! Our weekend games were not so good to us. We played two games Saturday and one game Sunday. We lost all 3! Two games were good, close games. The boys played their little hearts out, played on a field much bigger than they are use to. These are great memories they are building. Not only are they a team, they are friends. Great group of boys! Great group of parents! The parents are the ones that make it all possible.

When I first saw this picture appear on my computer screen, it took my breath away. He looks so much like Michael!!!

And he really looks like Michael here! STOP growing!

Michael did drive down from Fayetteville and joined us. We sure did enjoy spending the weekend with him. Jacob LOVED that his older brother came to watch him!

We had lunch with Michael in Conway. Then to Wal Mart to pick up some necessary college essentials. Then we each headed our different directions. That was sad! But I sure did have a lovely weekend with my three favorite guys!

Halloween '09

We had some fun carving Halloween pumpkins. We didn't get to carve our pumpkins until HALLOWEEN day! We had to wait for Michael to come home. We have carved pumpkins every year. Both of my boys love to carve pumpkins, and it makes me so happy! (It makes me happy when Michael comes home too!)

What's wrong?

The good ole nasty stuff.

Ta da! Would we expect anything else but some type of sports theme? Awesome job!

Working so hard on his pumpkin. He was the LAST one to get done. Takes such pride! (He had coffee break and salsa/chip break during his carving)

Ta da! Witches brew! What a fine job!

Are you scared Michael?
Alex carved a ghost. She thought it looked like a thumb!
The three happy campers!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
