Full Speed Ahead!


 Again I say, I can't believe it's been almost two months since my last post!  Guess you can see we've been busy. Just as Thanksgiving rolls around, so does the hustle and bustle for us.  We get our house decorated for Christmas, finish off our homeschool group for the year, then it's time for Ben's birthday and all the family gatherings....next thing you know, BAM! it's January 1st! Where does the time go?
MAP and I have a 13 year anni comin up and I am so proud of us for what we have done in those 13 years.  In those 13 years, we had 3 kids, celebrated 48 birthdays in our little family, taken some 5 dozen or so trips, called for an ambulance 3 times, buried 1 dog and numerous cats....anyway, you get the picture.....we've survived! This picture was taken at my best friends wedding.....the absolute BEST picture we have EVER taken!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! 

Here are the babes wrapping up the summer with a little competetive hay bale jumping  ; )

This is a fall festival that we went to at the park in Sylvester. It was hosted by my aunt and uncle's church. There were all sorts of games and bouncy things for the kids to have fun with.

Uncle Robert cookin up some meats...sausage and deer, dogs and burgers.

The babes are in the middle here at the cake/cupcake walk. Almost everyone had a chance to get something b/c they were handing out single cupcakes...and they were good! A lot of them were homemade.

Don't these look so pretty? I think they were strawberry.

This is a funny picture b/c little does he know but the one in the green there is about to get the crap beat out of him by that pretty little blue eyed sweetie......

See? told ya! Out of six tries, he knocked her down once......what can I say, I taught her right! And she was quiet happy about it as you can see.

I found this here little pretty at wal-mart. I actually went to Lowes and bought a variety of colors. These really help me get through the winter when I look out and everything else is dead. I just can't understand how these delicate little beauties can survive even the harshest winters...including being covered by SNOW!!!

Even bigger selection of colors......so pretty

We even got a call one morning from my sister in law that got a call from my brother sayin the Barnum and Bailey circus train was comin through Cordele headed our way.  I told the kids and we jumped in the car and headed off to an old dirt road not far from home......and within 30 minutes, the train was barreling down the tracks headed our way!!!

Hopefully it won't be two more months before another post rolls in!
