Soooo much to catch up on...

I'll just start with a few of my favorite pictures...

(Shannon coaching his football team, Anabelle and Jordan)

Anabelle and one of her favorite people, Kendall. Notice Anabelle's indian name is Quiet Rainbow....Apparently she is totally silent at school and saves it all up for home. I think on the way home from Arkansas, she didn't take a breath until we hit the Mississippi river. ;)

FYI...Earlier today I over heard Anabelle YELLING at Taylor, "YES...I...AM!" When I got in the room, I found out that they were arguing over the fact that Anabelle wants to marry Daddy and Taylor disagrees. Taylor's concern is not that Father and daughter shouldn't wed, but just that Daddy is the only boy, so who is left for her to marry. How cute is that?

Taylor's sweet note to Santa coming soon...

Great weekend

It actually started Thurs night when we had four fun house guests. David and Natalie and their friends Summer and Toby stayed with us. The girls were so excited. Anabelle wore her "WOK STAW" pants in their honor. ;) We enjoyed the little time we got to spend with them.
Friday night was "Fancy Night." Taylor picked out everyone's outfits (except Anabelle's OF COURSE). Somehow Daddy was allowed to wear shorts and a Tshirt. NO, you will not be seeing pictures of me in my bridesmaid dress.


Then downstairs for Tinkerbell and popcorn in ou r PJ's (note the bows had to remain). The girls thought it was so cool that they got to watch the movie on the beds that were still out from our guests. Sometimes Mommy's procrastination is cool.

The girls were up at the crack of dawn when Shannon went on his run. I'm sure our neighbor's didn't love hearing, "GO DADDY GO!" before 7am. They waited on the front porch to congratulate him on his 6 miles!

Later it was off to the park to enjoy some wonderful weather!

This picture was actually taken early this morning. Anabelle was showing Taylor her biblestudy book. She made sure to have one of my old bstudies, her little pink NT and a pen. How funny is she?

Happy Girl @ 7 months

My mom says she may look like Shannon, but she has my big mouth. I haven't decided how I'm going to take that yet. :)

Halloween and stuff

school partiesTrunk or Treat...check out Jonah and the whale....it was too funny not to capture.
Trick or Treating with friends. After dressing up as a bride 4 different times for parties, etc Anabelle decided to go in last year's bunny outfit for Halloween night. She's the one with the bunny costume that is one year too short. ;)

Caroline was a pumpkin, kinda. She had the hat, a jackolantern shirt and a black tutu. That's kinda a pumpkin right? Unfortunately this is the best picture I got. I fell down on the job at the photographer that night.

I just found this picture on the camera. I am guessing the girls asked Shannon to take it when I wasn't around. Just too funny.

Even though the pictures don't show it, I really do let Caroline out of her car seat occasionally. ;)

We went to Braydon's 4th birthday party at Pump It Up and I'm pretty sure Shannon and Jerron had more fun than all the kids combined. At one point, I heard Shannon say, "I really wore the wrong clothes for this. I should have worn jeans, b/c I'm getting burns on my knees and elbows."
