Thanksgiving 2008

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday with our family. The first thing we did was sleep in!!! Oh, what a wonderful thing to do! It was a leisurely morning at our house and then off to Grandma's house. My sisters and their families were there, my Grandma Young, my parents, and Anthony joined us too this year! After we ate dinner at mom's house we were off to my husband's side of the family. So, once again we ate another wonderful meal! We are so blessed with family, friends, food and fellowship! Here are some pictures from the day...

"Who are you talking to, Joey?"

"God!"

(David quickly informed Joey that we don't talk to God that way...we talk to God by praying)

Joey didn't seem to care, he was determined to get God on the phone!

This is Joey while he was singing, "I'm in the Lord's army, Yes Sir!" Somebody should let him know that his helmet is too big!!

Some pictures from mom's house...

Dad doing his annual duty...carving the turkey! A bountiful feast!

Happy 5th Birthday...

Today is David's 5th birthday...my, how the time goes by so quickly! Joey and I took some cupcakes over to school for David's class and we ate lunch with him too! Later on, we had a birthday party with the family at Grandma's house. Here are some pics...

Uhhh, six inches please!!

Wow, what a crew!! Poor Mrs. Kuhn!

Now is this an awesome cake or what!!! Thanks, Kathy, or as we all call her the "Cake Lady".

My boy is 5...I can't believe it!

He picked out his party theme...ARMY!!

David loved his new transformer from Nana and Papa!!

I can't believe we are about to cut into this cake; it just looks too perfect to eat!!

Some time with Daddy...

This past week my husband spent some time outdoors with his boys. They raked some leaves, took a walk in the woods, and just had fun together! Here are some of their fun times together...

I love these guys!!!

Our Day-cation...

Today my husband surprised the boys and I by taking us down to Watkins Glen for the afternoon. What a fun time we had just being together as a family - it was so nice!! We climbed the Glen all the way to the top - one and a half miles. Our son David just kept on climbing, many times he was the leader of the group. Now Joey, on the other hand, had a harder time. He kept saying, "Mommy, me towered (tired)". So Daddy held Joey either in his arms or on his shoulders much of the way up (that's an extra 40 pounds). Going down was much easier as we took a smoother trail most of the way down. Here are some of the pics from our day...

On the way down to Watkins Glen...how beautiful!

There they go!!!

Rest stop #1.
Rest stop #2.
Rest stop #3 - I love my boys...all 3 of them!!

I'd hate to fall into that! Ouch!
They look so tiny, don't they?!


David loved this spinner (or as my husband called it - pewk machine)...


...and this is the result of the pewk machine!

How pretty the trees were looking up into the sky!

My sweetheart!

David found this tree stick on the path...it made an awesome pistol!


And of course we had to finish the day off right by going to Pizza Hut to feed our hunger that we worked up while at the Glen!!!

Potty Training...still...

Well, potty training is not going as smooth with Joey as it did with David. He tells me that he has to go potty, so we go in the bathroom and do our usual ritual, just for him to say, "It not comin', Mommy, me try later". Over and over again, I feel like he will never learn. Well, the picture explains it all...

"Look, Mommy, I found a new use for the potty seat - a picture frame!"

Flag Football 2008...

Today was the 2008 Flag Football Tournament at Southeast Bible Baptist Church. Our teenage guys and some adults play in the tournament each year. They didn't win the tournament, but they had fun trying...I think!! Here are just some of the pictures from the day...

The Heritage Baptist Patriots!!
Our cheerleaders doing their pyramid!
What a handsome quarterback!!
Oooh!..there he is again!!!
My boys showing their Patriot spirit!! Nice hair!!
