Fun Times At MeMaw & Papaw's

The girls played games and the boys went outside with Dane and played Capture The Flag. Alexis just adores her older cousin, Christina. I caught a picture of them going over the ABCs. Christina is always such a help with the girls and I think she truly enjoys being around Lexie and Izzie even though they are much younger.

We had all the boys over for a sleepover. I got a glimpse of what it would be like if I had 6 children. Adam, Daniel, Jonathan, Matthew, plus my 2 girls were all over. Dane took the boys boxing in the garage while I got the girls to bed. Once they got back we watched a movie, and played the game RISK. We had a lot of fun.

Horsing Around

Another attempt at my amateur photography....

After posting for about 15-20 minutes, I could hardly walk the next day! Ugh, my thighs hurt!

This is Izzie's 1st time on horse back. She loved it!

A Day At The Farm

Thanksgiving at the Farm

While the Beirne's were here visiting we went over to Daniel & Teresa's farm for the day and rode horses. Izzie got on a horse for the first time. She was so excited!! Alexis was a natural. It won't be long and she will be posting and maybe even showing one day.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

The Beirne Family (my sister in-law Danise & family) from Richmond, VA came down to spend Thanksgiving with us. I could not believe how much the boys have grown since we last saw them. All 3 boys are taller than I am. It is still hard to believe that Adam is 18 and getting ready for college next year. Yikes! Where has the time gone? This Thanksgiving was so much fun having the family together.

Sliding at Julee's

Julee rented a gigantic blow-up slide for the kids to play on. It was chilly but the kids had a blast. We warmed up afterwards with some nice hot cocoa. Thanks Julee!

Izzie & Marlin Napping

I found Izzie and Marlin napping together. I sprinted for my camera to capture the moment.

Cooking with Dad

The girls also put on Daddy's boxing medals. They are so proud! Notice in the picture they are showing their muscles.

My Boxer Husband

Dane had a boxing match in Atlanta. Here are some photos he took. He is the hot one (bald) in the pictures.

Pump It Up

We went to Ella's birthday party this morning at Pump It Up which is an indoor bouncy house place. The girls had so much fun. I am now reaping the benefits of them taking a really good nap. They were so excited from all the jumping.

Baby Quilt

I just finished this baby blanket for my niece, Lilly. Her dad is a John Deere fan. I was so excited when I found this fabric. The other side is made out of really soft white chenille. I hope it helps keep Lilly warm during this MN winter.

Baking Cookies

After Izzie and I picked up Alexis from school, we decided to make cookies. They are my chefs-in-training.

Eye Candy

As most of you know, I have read all of the Twilight saga books in record time. I finished all 4 books in almost a week, but that was about a year ago. I just could not put them down. Now I am re-reading the books since the movies are coming out. I am so excited to watch New Moon which is releasing on 11/20. In preparation for New Moon, my friend, Ginny had a Twilight movie night at her house. My friend, Becca brought her cardboard cut-out of Rob Pattinson aka Edward. I am totally Team Edward. He is my on-screen boyfriend. Don't worry Dane totally knows and is okay with it.

Cute Kids

We were enjoying the beautiful Georgia day. It actually warmed up to almost 80 so midday we had to strip the kids and put short sleeve shirts on them.

TOUCHDOWN GEORGIA!!!!!

UGA vs TN Tech Game

A sea of red and black!
Final score was 38-zip.

MeMaw was sweet enough to watch the girls so Dane and I could attend the game. Dane's friend has season tickets and was out of town so he gave us his seats. I did not realize how awesome his seats were. The game was fun and we kicked butt....literally. Final score against TN Tech was 38 to zero. Dane and I had a nice date day to ourselves.
