Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Just a quick post to wish you all a VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Don't forget to count your blessings!!!

It's Snowing!!!!!!

I LOVE SNOW!!!!

In my book, if it's cold, it might just as well snow!!!

Look how beautiful it is!!!

Ok, now that I look at these, it really doesn't look that pretty, but it will!!! As soon as the snow covers all of the ugly brown from fall!!! And actually it looks so much better in person!

Have a great week!!!

Honoring Our Veterans!

We say “thank you” when a store clerk hands us

change. We wave “thank you” when a motorist yields
us the right of way. We thank our friends when they
pay us compliments. If you think about it, we probably
use the words “thank you” or some variation of it at
least a dozen times a day. But how do you thank
someone for saving the world?
When you ask young men and women to endure
great hardships, drastically change their lifestyles and
possibly give their lives for you – the words “thank
you,” seem woefully insufficient.
Simply put, we owe them a debt that can never
be re-paid!

Halloween Fun!!

Good Lord, it took me forever to load all of these photos!!

Lily waiting to carve pumpkins!

Lily picked out our designs for the pumpkins, she picked out an owl for Mommy, and she wanted to help poke holes!

She was not impressed with digging the guts out of the pumpkin, so she used a pumpkin scoop and did ok

Ahhhh, a photo for a daycare craft!

Here is the peanut ready to head out to the pumpkin patch

Riding a pony at the pumpkin patch, she thinks she's such a big girl!

Here's the princess going on her first ride all alone! They drove the kids around in this piggy train, and as Lily rode away, I had a tear in my eye! She is growing so fast and had no problem doing this all on her own! She even had to ride twice!!

She never stopped steering!!

Bye Bye

Here's our little punk princess ready to go trick or treating! Notice the owie next to her eye?? She fell the night we carved pumpkins and has a big scab and a black and blue eye!

With our pumpkins

She had an obsession with trying to get her nail polish off! She loves to have her nails painted, but loves even more to take it off!!

Checking some things out along our way!

Trick or Treating with Papa and Grammy! Lily had her own posse last night, we called ourselves the LOP (Lily's own Posse). Six adults and one kid trick or treating, she couldn't possibly be any more loved!!

Daddy and Lily

Lil needed a break along the way!

At home with all her loot!!

This is how the princess looked this morning. Daddy laughed and said she looked like she had a rough night at the bar! LOL!!

Lily had a ball last night, after every house she asked if we could trick or treat some more! She had great manners, always saying thank you after candy was put into her bucket!

This morning we busted her after she had taken her candy bucket off the counter and eating it!! Little stinker!!!

I know I haven't blogged much, but I'll try to get better!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!!
