Such a Sweet Girl. . .

Today on the way home, Brynn said the sweetest thing.

B: Mom, you know what I am thankful for?

M: No, what are you thankful for?

B: Moms!

M: Really, why are you thankful for moms?

B: Because they are helpful and do nice things for you. And you should be thankful when people do nice things for you.

It was the sweetest thing.

I wanted to document this little conversation because I am sure in a few years she may forget that she should be thankful for her mom!

Upward Cheerleading. . .

~~~~~I looking at my post list and realized I never made this post~~~~~

I thought I would let Brynn try an activity for the 1st time. She turned 4 this year. All her friends were doing something so I figured this must be the age when extra activities begin. So what better place to start than Upward Cheerleading!

I guess we should work on giving up our sippey cup before she turns 5!Team Photo2 Silly Little Girls

Brynn IS NOT a morning person and we really realized this about 1/2 way through the season. She just wanted to sit on her bucket until 1/2time and after that she was ready to cheer.

Before 1/2time:After 1/2time:

She had a wonderful season, but we have decided to hold off on basketball cheerleading. We will pick back up in the fall....maybe :)

Happy Birthday....

to my blog!!!

1 year ago today I started this blog...

and I have to admit, I never really thought I would keep it up, but I DID!!!

It has been a great way to keep up with all the things that happen in our lives and to share those events with friends and family.

I have became friends with people that I otherwise would have never known and grown closer to those I do.

I enjoy hearing about everyone's experience and hope you enjoy mine!

Thanks for reading!!

Prayer Request. . .

******************UPDATE**********************

Stacy and family are on their way back to SC. Noah's appendix is inflammed but the Drs. said they could come home. He is supposed to see the Dr here tomorrow. Stacy is going to try to make it home without stopping. The weather is not supposed to be good (snow). Please, please pray they have a safe trip home and NO more problems.

Can you please say a prayer for my friend, Stacy and her family. They went to New Year for Thanksgiving and have not had the best of luck. They were supposed to come home on Sunday but are still in New York. Their car wouldn’t start and had to wait to have it fixed today. On top of that, two of her children, Zoe and Noah, were sick. Noah is still sick. They are at the hospital now in New York. The Drs. think it may be his appendix but are still running test. Please pray for their family.

Tonight, Brandon, Addie, and I went to the mall to pick somethings up. Addie fell asleep right before we got there so she was sleeping in her stroller. Brandon was pushing Addie and we were talking as we entered the mall when the mall security guard stopped us.

She asked me if I was 18! 18, I sorta laughed and said NO I am 25. She then asked Brandon if he was 18! He told her he was 24. We then had to show her our IDs to prove it to her.

I know we both look young...but younger than 18? I just don't know about that. It was pretty funny!

As we were leaving, the same lady was stopping a group of teenagers of which I am SURE were under 18! At least I know the mall actually does enforce the curfew.

Happy Turkey Day. . .

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I also hope that everyone has safe travels to where ever this day leads you.

We are headed to my in-laws for lunch. I have to actually make a dish this year...green beans. I know, it's not hard, but I wanted to bring something like this so that I couldn't mess it up. There will be close to 30 people there so that's alot of green beans.

After we leave there, we are going to visit my parents. My mom isn't cooking this year because of everything that has happened with my dad recently. I will probably take them a plate from the in-laws.

At some point I am going to try to take a nap but who knows if that will ever happen! I am going shopping tonight with some great friends. This is one of my favorite things to do each year! I absolutely LOVE it! Hopefully by tomorrow morning my Christmas shopping will be complete and I will have gotten the items I am going for!!
