Santa visit...

This picture doesn't need much explaining!! Vaiden looked just like Whitten in his Santa pictures for his first 3 years of life. As you can tell by Vaiden's face, he really doesn't care to be sitting with Santa this year either!! lol!! Oh well, just another picture to add to their scrapbooks!!

Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving was great and busy this year!! The boys and I had Thanksgiving lunch with my family at Katharine's house...don't be fooled...KK didn't cook, my mom brought it all to her house:) The food was delicious and of course, we had my mom's famous lemon ice box pie...yum!! We had a great lunch and the boys got to play in KK's backyard for awhile before we loaded up and drove to my in-laws. We had Thanksgiving Dinner with the Ellis' at their Hunting Cabin. It is so quiet and peaceful out there and my boys love it!! Sallie cooked a great dinner and we had a wonderful night visiting and watching football. Michael also took Vaiden on his first deer hunt. Vaiden was so excited about going!! He kept saying, "I am going hunting with my dad"!! They saw some deer but Michel decided not to shoot...thank God!! I am not sure how Vaiden would've done with all of that. He was just excited to have on his camouflage and be in a deer stand with his Daddy!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL!!

OM vs LSU

Ole Miss's last home football game of the year was against LSU!! My Uncle Chad and his family came up to visit and go to the game with us. We had an awesome time and I am so thankful they came here!! The weather was just right and the grove was packed!! We had a very full tent ourselves!! We had some entertainment and we had many fans stop and hangout with us for several hours. Once the game started, Melissia and I took all the boys home and got comfy in our pjs, grabbed a glass of wine, and watched the game on TV. About halftime, we got in the kitchen and cooked. This was the highlight of the weekend for me. Melissia is a great cook and I love to hangout in the kitchen visiting, cooking, and drinking a glass of wine with her!!

Thanksgiving Feast

Whitten's MMO had a Thanksgiving Feast for all the parents. It was so nice and we had our first taste of Thanksgiving food. Whitten's teacher, Mrs. Jamie, made him a turkey shirt....love it!! Once we got home, Whitten was "playing" with his art from MMO and decided he liked the stickers on himself rather than the sheet of paper Mrs. Jamie had for him. So cute:)

1969 OM Football Reunion

A couple of weeks ago when Ole Miss played Tennesse, Ole Miss reunited the 1969 Ole Miss Football Team!! My Dad was apart of that team. That same team won the Sugar Bowl in 1970. My mom, Katharine, Michael, Vaiden, Whitten, and I all wore buttons with my Daddy's college picture on it...so fun to see!! It was so much fun to see my Dad with his old college teammates!! The announcer acknowledged the team before the game started and Vaiden got to go out on the field with his G-Daddy. My Dad was more excited about that than he was anything else from the weekend!! Anyway, I was hoping to get the picture of the entire team on the field, but it hasn't been e-mailed out yet...I'll have to update later!! We love you G-Daddy and so proud you were a Ole Miss Rebel!!

Whitten, the tough one...

Whitten hurt his little foot last week and gave us a scare!! We were playing with a ball and he went to kick it and fell down. He cried forever...which is so unlike him. He wouldn't put any weight on his foot for 2 days. It was so sad watching him crawl around the house or beg me to hold him. I finally took him to the doctor to have an x-ray and nothing was broken. The doctor put this ace bandage on his foot and said to give it a couple more days. Whitten is still favoring his foot a little but he is back to running, playing, and kicking balls again!!
