Get ouch ya ladder....

unstring the lights, cause our house is gonna be a glowin' tonight!!


Not sure if you have heard of this little Christmas classic.....
It is one of my all time favorite movies! Have yal seen it? I crack up in tears each time I watch it. Funny stuff.



Ever since we have lived in our home, I have begged Aron to please hang some Christmas lights on our house. I think that they are so pretty, and I just L-O-V-E driving around during the holidays looking at other peoples outside decor. So, each year I beg, and each year goes by with no lights. The infinite sadness!!
This year, I am not sure what happened to Aron, but he has decided to take on this challenge.



I think it has something to do with these two!

My husband has also decided to not take advantage of the most beautiful and unusual warm weather we have been having and chose this afternoon to hang lights. Well, if you live in NWA, you are laughing cause folks, it be chilly outside!



Here is Sophia watching her daddy through the window. Every few minutes she runs back to me and her brother and says, "Momma it's cold, Daddy cold." Yes, my genius child can tell this is not a good day to be on the house hanging lights, but o well. Hopefully, she cannot hear all of the Christmas cheer coming out of his mouth each time he drops a light hanger. Also, our ladder is a 5 foot, this makes for a interesting climb onto and off of the house. I am sure that the neighbors have broken out their hot cocoa and video cameras filming my dare devil guy jumping off of the house. This is his look at me when I asked him if he checked the lights before hanging them.

His answer: No, I am just hoping that they will work. They are new.

Me: Oh, well yeah. Sure. New lights.

Well, after almost three hours, and only 1/2 of the front of our not mansion size house completed, we have run out of lights, and hangers.


So, tonight.... we rest.


and


Tomorrow night, we will hopefully have a house that can be viewed from outer space, a house that passer byers must put on sun shades because of the amazing brightness, a house that will bring people from miles and miles.....


Yes, I want the Griswold house!! Beauty.

Pretty Pretty Princess and Shark Boy

Time is sure flying by. I just cannot seem to find enough time in the day to keep up our family blog! I am slacking! Today, I have decided it is time I get back on track with our daily posts. The babies are growing so quickly and doing such quirky things, and I am starting to forget to put them in a more permanent place!! So, were back!

So, Happy Halloween!

This year, the kids were so cute! Just loved getting them dressed up and taking them to my sister's house and then to my parents. What a fun time we had! Sophia wanted to be a pincess (princess) and Brayden, well he had no choice in the matter, so he was a shark.

Introducing.... Pretty Pretty Pincess and Shark Boy!

Enjoy


These two are such characters!



Sophia is so excited!!


Lovey shark





Fun family picture!



I tried to get a pic with Honey, Granddaddy, Kitty, and Aron with kids (this was the best of the bunch!!)



This was taken outside with my cellphone, so the quality is not so great and their eyes all look scary. But this is Aron and his sister, and the kids.


It seems so funny to do this post now, since we have just eaten a Thanksgiving dinner and are decorating for Christmas! Ha!

*****POTTY TRAINING ALERT****
I think this week I may start potty training Sophia, is that crazy? Is this going to be too stressful? She is showing some signs that she is into it, but do you have any tips of how to p.t.?? Would love the input or any tricks (or special pills that you give them and they just start going, in the potty!) HELP a Momma OUT!!!

He's growing up!

Well, it is official! Brayden is growing up. He will be 11 months in a few weeks, the boy army crawls every where, he jibber and jabbers all day long, eating puffs and cereal with his hands, saying dadadada!! Soon, he will be dating and applying for college...sob, tear, sniffle, sniffle. Just wanted to share his latest accomplishment. Last night he pulled up to the standing position, the video is his second try. This morning, it is all that he wants to do. Heaven help me, but it will be soon when he and his sister are chasing each other around the house and knocking each other off of the furniture!




After I recorded the video, I looked at Aron and just blurted out, "O my god". Not the best choice of phrase, but it just came outta my mouth. Well, for the next 10 minutes it is all that Sophia would say. She is a repeater yal!!

Note to self: watch what I say and the tone of how I say it, I am setting an example for my little people all of the time!!


Love yal!
