My excuse...

I know I need to blog but, I am to tired tonight....maybe next week I can come up with something worth reading!

Did I mention

How excited I am that I get to spend Thanksgiving with my family this year?!
I have been married 15 years this past Oct. and I have only had maybe 5? Thanksgiving dinner's with my family.
 This year mom and dad are close so we will be able to spend it with them and Holly,Jeff, Whit, Levi & Gavin. I wish Seth, Sarah & Taylor were coming too but, it is to far a drive to make twice (Christmas) so close together....trust me I understand that! So it just hit me this evening that I will be going there this coming week! November has went by so quickly......I sure hope December takes  it's sweet ole' time!

Did I ever tell you all about Ethan's little Girlfriend? Her name is Lindsey. He won't admit it in front on the other little boys but, let me tell you when it is just those two.....we went Trunk or treating with them and E and Lindsey were in line waiting and Ethan puts his arm around her and said "We're a marriage"  Lindsey's dad threatened to put them in separate cars for the rest of the night! haha! Instead, they rode together in the back of the van, as I parked and turned around to tell them they could get out and go trick or treating, there was Ethan buckled up in his car seat with Lindsey bent backwards over his lap....he was about to lay one on her when I screamed :"ETHAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!"  We laughed so much that night.  They are either Fighting or Holding hands, they are funny.

 Looks like Gary and I have a lot of reaping coming!  :) He is definitely going to be a sweet talker!  ;)

That boy....

Sometimes, like today I feel like SCREAMING that.....yet at the same time I can't help but see the humor....which makes me even more aggrivated!
I guess after we got Ethan's new bike for his birthday, Cayden decided the garage door needed "reinforcing" in case somebody wanted to break in and steal his little brother's new bike. I guess I should not be surprised he thought of this being as he is ALWAYS thinking like this and his own bike was stolen,  then his RipStick.
So.... He takes this piece of wood about 5in long and so thick that it touches the door handle, he nails it to the door frame so nobody can pick the lock.
I went to the garage to get some hamburger to make chili.I had no problem getting in, and thought "that boy" as I looked at his homemade burglar proof thingy....   I look over as I was walking out and see Cayden's good Aeropostale hoodie threw over some junk...1st strike....so I was a little agitated as I was walking out thinking "That boy!" then as I slam the door closed, I felt like my finger was shut in the door! It hurt SOOO bad then I realized.... it wasn't shut IN the door, it was slammed between the door knob and that STUPID piece of wood! Then I thought "THATTTT BOYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"  Well I got to go, He is trying to get my printer paper out of the printer.....to make another airplane, I guess the other 3 flying around me aren't enough...
How boring would my life be without them!!! :) I never want to find out!

Happy5th Birthday Ethan!

 

 

My little man on his new bike

So this week E turned 5....yes I want to cry. But let's not go there.  He has been looking at bikes in Wal-Mart for MONTHS! So this is what he got from the family. He also wanted a Cookie cake, since we don't have a" The Great American Cookie Co." in Connersville.....I had to make one. My icing gun is packed away in storage, and the icing tips I bought didn't work. So.....I decorate this cake with my fingers.  I pretty much was laughing the whole time I did so cause, it just struck me as funny, I have so many FB friends who are into cake decorating and do a beautiful job on it, esp Jamie Webb, but also I was thinking of all the times people say to me "Oh, Jamie, You can do ANYthing", I guess they thought I was trying to be modest when I deny that.....I promise it isn't modesty, it is honesty! And here is the proof! All I can say is that it tasted WONDERFUL and Ethan loved it ;)
Thank-You to my BFF Tammy Baker for telling me how to do this and for all the times you fixed me Cookie Cakes on summer afternoons when we would spend the day together....I really do miss you and the wonderful special times we had together, I think of you often.

 Ethan spent the last of his birthday money today at Wal-Mart, he got Walkie-talkie things or whatever you call them, flashlights, MORE CAPS (we have went through 4 packs this week and he bought 4 more today, is it any wonder I have fought a migraine all week?) play money, his own Bible, cap guns and he bought Jadyn some gum and Me a COKE.....I think he is a very blessed and loved little boy, and I am thankful to you all for making his day so special. I want you to know that every card that came in the mail was SUCH a thrill for him he would get soooo excited, and after I told him he had a nice birthday but it was now over, he said "Nuh huh, what if I get 100 more cards in the mail all with money in it?!" Please don't, cause if I have to go buy him any more caps next week, I think I'll cry.
Oh! and mom! here is what you got Ethan for his Birthday.....Real Cowboy boots.....well okay this is a cowboy-ish as I will go..... :)

If you can't tell He thinks he is HOT STUFF!

S

Best of all, we surprised all 4 of the kids by meeting my mom, dad, mamaw, sister, and Whit, Gav, & Levi  & Bo of course, in Richmond for dinner......they all loved it. I think that was the gift I loved the most, all though I admit it has made me miss all my Ohio friends!
So that is all I got for Ethan's birthday, I hope I didn't put to many pics on here for you all.
Love!

My lil' man!

Just posting some pics I took of Ethan today while the kids were in school.....He's turning 5 on November, 9th! I can't believe it.....
