Thanksgiving 2008

We began the morning with a traditional holiday spam breakfast...here is Greyson helping make it


Cael helped too!


Cael, Greyson and Brinsley watching the parade together on tv



Steve bought the boys some candy cane pens with ink that smelled like peppermint. Surprisingly enough, they were a HUGE hit with both Greyson and Cael! Here they are drawing/writing with them after breakfast



Brinsley hangin' out in her bumbo seat


Steve is teaching the boys how to play their new game, 'Dunk the Ducks'. This was their first shooting lesson ever! =)


Greyson taking a turn at shooting the ducks


Cael's turn now!


Brinsley had her Thanksgiving dinner before we went to Cracker Barrell and had her after dinner nap AT Cracker Barrell! LOL


Cael and daddy at Cracker Barrell just a few moments before Thanksgiving dinner was served


my silly Cael!


Greyson and me at Cracker Barrell


All my boys!


Brinsley's got a great sniffer! She woke up as soon as the food arrived! =)


Steve made a "tent" for the boys in their bedroom so they could have a sleepover and watch dvd's on Thanksgiving night


Brinsley zonked out for the night!

Pictures, pictures, pictures!!

It was Spirit Week at Greyson's school a few weeks back...this was school colors day (green & gold)


Tacky Day!


Cael & Brinsley chillin on the futon (or foo-TIME as Greyson has always called it)


We are officially red necks: We live in the south, drive an old pick up truck and dress our children in blue jean overalls! LOL





Cael is sporting my boots, Steve's hat and a completely mismatched outfit that daddy put on him! =)


Brinsley loves her swing!


Cael loves to help give Brinsley a bath





She's really starting to like her excersaucer quite a bit


Believe it or not, it got a little chilly for a few days here...hence, the hat!

Birthday and Halloween Celebrations

Greyson turned six years old on October 30th. We had his favorite meal that night for dinner...taco pie. The Saturday following his birthday we went to the Rainforest Cafe for lunch and then to Lego Land to play for awhile.

On Halloween we went to church where the kids participated in trunk or treating. The boys had lots of fun and got LOTS of candy!!

Pictures below...
