This is our typical gathering. Cydney and I are texting, James Brian is climbing and G is making some kind of joke.

These are the people from the movie UP! I hated this movie.

Handy Manny!

See how I get treated. Proof right here!

James Brian finally drove the cars. I think this is the first time ever!

All three of my animals in a cage, how appropriate!

The snow white ride.

We stole a buggy. Don't worry we didn't really steal one. We just picked up one that someone had left and the children thought it was funny.

James Brian and Dale are looking for something over the edge in the Garden Grill.

Supper with the characters.

Don't look too closely. This might be our Christmas card this year!

They really can be sweet to each other!

Happy Late, Thanksgiving

Mys sister said Gobble and Wobble. Thats exactly how I feel.

First let me say Uncle Bobby is exactly right. Jimmy Johnson is the King of Nascar and that Chad Knaus knows everything about it. As much as I hate to admit I would love to have Chad in my corner if I was a driver. Bobby if you ever watch him on the speed channel he is THE MAN!

Second, I cannot begin to list the things I am thankful for. Jesus for dying on the cross for me! Our health, The roof over our head, a church to worship freely, the school my children attend. That James Brian is not a twin!(I got that from my sister!)

Wednesday we had lunch catered to the car lot. It was from the oil lamp restaurant in town. The employees including me ate all day long. It was so good.

We have had a great week. It makes me sad to know it is coming to an end. JB is cleaning up his room so we can get this Christmas stuff out! Oh Joy to the World!

I spent Thanksgiving with my family at my Aunt Peggy's in Acworth. Cyd, G, JB and Brian spent Thanksgiving with Margarett and Wayne in Perry with Ricky and Brance! It was odd not having my children with me but I enjoyed the stress free day of visiting with the adults and not being rushed.

Ricky and Brance came down to hunt. Rick says the deer are bigger here. Brance shot an 8 point out of the truck window! It was in the pasture at daddys and he just shot it! Poor Brian spends hours in the woods in the cold and Brance shoots a deer out the window! That is the funniest thing!

My grandmother is doing better. She knew who I was. She fixed her hair and put on make-up. She admitted that she was ready to go to Heaven to be with daddy(thats what she calls my papa). I don't blame her. She doesn't feel like she has anything to live for with out him! It makes me sad that I can't help her! But she also won't let me!

Grayce came home last night and said wow mom you missed some good food! I told her no I didn't I had great food myself!

I am not a Black Friday shopper so we all went to work this morning. JB, G and I did ride up to Macon to Hallmark to get an ornament for the tree. (JB had picked one out!)

JB is hollering for me to find him a box to pack up something. I better move while his interested in cleaning. I hate that I don't have anything exciting to talk about. Basketball games will start soon. I still have the Disney pictures to post. Maybe I will do pictures tomorrow.

It's official...this house is a TOTAL disaster!

Can someone please tell me why when you are cleaning, really good, things have to get worse before they get better?

The children are out of school all week for Thanksgiving. I am pretty much work full time. So next week I will go back to the hours I worked right before school started. I will go in at 6 or before and get my job duties finished. Check on the children and maybe exersice. Then we are going to get this house cleaned like there is no tomorrow.

The children and me are going to want to get a tree next weekend so I will have to have my house clean before I drag all that Christmas stuff out. The anniversary of Zachs mom's death is coming up and I want to do something for him so I want to have the house clean for that! It is a vicious cycle!

Brian and I have a dinner/backwards raffle to go to tonight but I don't think we are going. It is going to rain. Justin and JB are playing and Cydney is going to take G to the movies. Plus it starts at 6:30 so Brian might not even be home yet.

I can't make up my mind what I want to do for Thanksgiving. I know I am going to have lunch with grandmomma but I really want to go see my friend Shannon in Maryville, TN. But, I know I need to stay with grandmomma and let her spend the night at her house. If I go to Shannon's the girls will go with me. If I stay at grandmommas they will stay here with Brian. I wished it wsn't so far to Shannons it would be an easy decision. Brance and Ricky are coming down to hunt so JB says he ins't going anywhere unless Brance goes!

This morning JB was up before 7. I had to go to WR to pick up BBQ plates. Justin is staying with us because our friend (Coach) Andy's daughter had to have her thyroid removed, she's 13, so Justins mom is staying at the hospital with Ashley. So, the boys stayed here. I ran to WR then to WMF then home. I got a call to show the house on Logue Street so back to Perry. Then I came home to check on the boys and back to WMF to use the printer for something the lady needed. She actually wants to buy the house which is great news because that is the one I can't keep rented. Then I came home and went back to town but I already forgot why!

Cyd and G went with some girls to Macon this morning for the school cheer competion. It is nice to see those two getting along! I can't believe how good they are getting along. Praise The Lord!

James Brian had a Thanksgiving program at school yesterday. He was so cute as a pilgrim. He also got chosen to hold the flag for the pledge. I was so proud of him. He kept telling me he has secret(Mrs. Parks had told me but I didn't tell him I knew!) He held the flag and then ask everyone to stand. Plus he had two other part in the program. I love the school they go to! On Thursday JB wanted to watch WWE superstars. It comes on at 8:00 so we told him it was on he layed down in bed and in a minute he came to me and said since tomorrow is important and I need my rest I am not watching tv I am going to sleep. Isn't he a smart boy!

When Brian gets our computer fixed I will have lots of pictures to add but I don't want to download them to my laptop.

I guess thats it for today.

Melissa is way ahead of me!

How in the world can I ever possible tell you everything that has happened in the last 60 days??

We had the fair in October. 13 or 14 days. I can't even remember now. James Brian didn't care to stay as late as I would have liked everyday but all in all we had a big time. The first weekend the children got sunburned. The second weekend we were wrapped up like it was about to snow.

Grayce was the baby cow in the parade that is the introduction to the fair. That was pretty fun for her. She did a great job. The hardest part was keeping it a secret.

We actually sold some cars from the fair this year. That was good news. We still didn't make enough money to pay for our spot but we got rid of a leftover 08 explorer so that made it worth taking all those cars across town.

The girls went to a different concert both weekend. Montgomery/Gentry, David Cook, The naked brothers band, Rodney Akins and I can't remember who else.

Eric and Andrea came for the weekend with Walker and Breana in tow! That are really cute kids. We didn't spend much time together but at least we got to see them.

G made the basketball team at Westfield. James Brian is going to play rec ball pretty soon. I think his practices start next week.

Cydney is driving everywhere. She is doing good and hasn't gotten into trouble! She is getting ready for school soccer in a couple of months. Her hand has healed nicely. Still a little stiff but the doctor seems to think it will work out.

Brian and I are both working like crazy everyday. I still try to go to curves. My attitude is bad and then I see an overweight person and it makes me work harder! I try to eat reasonable but I swear Wayne eats so much it is a sin and when it eats I think I have to eat. I just keep drinking water trying to not gain weight. He eats all the time and never gains!

Jacob is growing like crazy. He still isn't walking but I know they never let him down. We see Hayden almost every Friday. He is a cutey! He talks all the time. He loves JB and runs around after him like crazy.

We went to Walt Disney World last weekend. I am still trying to recover but we really had a great time. Everyone got along so well. I didn't have to fuss one time. We ate together as a family. That was the most fun for me. The girls are old enough that they could ride something and Brian and I could take JB to ride something else.

We haven't kept up with racing too much this year. Carl or the Roush teams just don't seem to have their heart in it this year.

My grandmother has been a little under the weather. It started with a kidney infection and she seems to have a hard time getting her memory going. It is mean but its kind of funny the things she says. Melissa has been great to take of her. I on the other hand have not done one thing.

The kids are out all week next week. I need to try to help with grandmomma but I am needed at the carlot so I have to try to work that out.

Since I didn't have anything else to do I got asked to be on the board of directors at the perry junior league. I am trying to deceide if that was a wise decsion. I am not sure yet! We have a meeting tonight. I am just waiting until time to go!

Cydney and Zach broke up. The wierd thing is they talk all the time and he still comes over or she goes over there. I can't figure it out myself. He is a really sweet boy and so mature for his age. She brought him back something from Disney. Maybe everything will work. I hope neither one of them are heart broken. Thats the worse part. I certainly don't want my daughter broken hearted but I care enough about Zach that I don't want him sad either?

I guess that is about all. I am sure I will think of something else. Good night.
