Thanksgiving Wednesday?

I am soooo stuffed. We had our Thanksgiving early this year. That's because Faron works all weekend (I mean Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun)!! That's a bummer, but we did have an awesome day today! We did a little shopping, stopped by Honey Baked Ham (Mmmm), and came home and cooked for every thing we needed. Including the pie. Now I know why Thanksgiving is usually much earlier in the day. I'm ready to drop off to sleep but my tummy is too full to lay down. I guess I shouldn't have put that extra whip cream on my pie.

Well, the holidays have officially started. I'm going to do my best to keep this blog updated with all the goings on throughout the next month. That is if I can keep up with my own schedule.
Happy Holidays!!

Tick-or-Treat Time

This has really been an extended Halloween season.

We're getting the most out of those costumes. Woohoo!!

Cub Scout pack meeting.

Kendall's good buddy, Aiden, had a really fun Halloween Party.
Bobbing for apples. I love it!


The best way to get your apple is by the stem.

Back to the Fall Update

Here's more pictures from this past summer. Just to catch up.

The boyz and I took the train to Chicago to spend the weekend

with Faron after his conference was over.We watched the fireworks at Navy Pier.

Spent four hours at the Field Museum.

Loved the dinosaurs and the pirates exhibits.

It's Fall!!

I love fall. The cooler weather, sweaters, apple pickin', bonfires, football, harvest moons... I just love fall!!

At the moment fall means that the entire summer has gotten away from me with no posts on my blog.

Well, catching up is hard to do. So I thought I'd try to at least fill you in with some pictures. And then we'll take off again from here.

So, enjoy!

We had such a great time in Myrtle Beach!

Kerry loved looking for shells and sharks teeth
and watching teeny tiny clams in the sand.

Kendall just continually ran in and out of the waves.

Wooooow! I can't believe I've been away so long!
Time to get writing again.
I promise to put up a new post with pictures this week.
I've got a lot to catch you up on. KK :D

Kerry's Kindergarten Program... too cute!

New Snow Pics!!

I just wanted to quickly add these pictures. We are so excited about the snow!!

Snow Day! Yea!

We got our first big snow of the year here in St. Louis. School was cancelled... Kerry was happy about that. Faron's parents had stayed over night in order to get to an early doctor's appointment over at Scott AFB. Faron was off of work but feeling under the weather...(no pun intended). So what was I to do but get busy in the kitchen. I had already had things planned out for the day since we sort of anticipated a day indoors. First up... get a nice rump roast in the crock pot for dinner. Then, roll dough into the bread machine. You have to have homemade rolls with Italian Beef. Next, I got my new giant cupcake pan out to make a cupcake shaped cake. I need to practice for Kerry's birthday cake. So, I decided to make this snowflake cake to celebrate our first snow. I think it actually worked out pretty good. Although, I intended to make it blue. I think someone switched the caps on my blue and purple food coloring. It was very purple even though the pics look blue. Oh well! :D

In the middle of this, we even made it out to enjoy some sledding. Kendall was the die hard sledder. Kerry opted for hot cocoa and wii after about 20 minutes.

What a beautiful and fun day!!

Me and My Boyz!!

Ready for 2009

New Years Resolutions

Each new year I love to make my "New Year's Resolutions." This year is no different. I really have difficulty keeping my resolutions, though, because I make too many. This year I'm going to try have more obscure resolutions (vs. more specific/ with dead lines). Perhaps I'll actually see some changes/ improvements.

Here's some examples:
Start reading through the Bible - not necessarily in a year but, just continue to read straight
through.
Be nicer to my husband and kids
Be a better friend - give more/ expect less
Be more creative, crafty, get projects done
Eat better, lose weight

I'm thinking this approach may be more successful.
Oh.... one more resolution. Learn how to add pictures to this crazy blog.
