Church bracelet

Anniston has been wanting to wear this bracelet for the past few days. It is a bracelet that Uncle Todd and Aunt Melissa gave her for her baptism. I have been telling her that I needed to put it up so that Treyson couldn't get it. Smarty pants went and got her stool to reach it on top of the chest of drawers to wear it today. I told her it was only to wear to church. So now, the past 2 mornings, she has asked me if we can go to church so that she can wear her bracelet. (Fortunately she hasn't caught me on the technicality that she attends preschool at her church!! haha)

Here's the beautiful (and now tight) bracelet that is causing the heartache when I tell her to put it away!

Christmas Card Picture session

We were at Lake Ouachita over the weekend, and we decided to take the kids out to the gazebo overlooking the lake (where Jerry proposed to me almost 8 years ago!) to get some fall pictures to use for our Christmas card. I'm not going to post the actual pictures that made the cut for the card, but here's a sneak peek at our beautiful kids!! (I'm a little partial!!)

Guess what we're bringing for Thanksgiving??

AR vs. Miss State

We took the kids to the Arkansas vs. Mississippi State game last weekend in Little Rock. The kids had a blast, and we're definitely planning on taking them back at least 1 time each season. We stayed Friday and Saturday at my parents place on Lake Ouachita. It's so pretty down there this time of year.

Here's a pic of Treyson playing with the man's hat in front of us. These two couples from Benton have sat in front of us for the past 3 seasons. They're so sweet, and when she held out her arms to hold Treyson, he went right to her! That is very un-treysonlike!! He is usually very clingy to his Mommy and Dadoo!

Posing with our tattoos. Actually, now they're stickers. I didn't like them, they peel off easily. Needless to say, we'll go back to Razorback tattoos after we use up all of these stickers.

Feeding Dadoo....what a sweet boy!

Pink cotton candy....the 3 year old's highlight of the day!!

Anniston and Dadoo!

Happy Birthday PaPa!

We celebrated PaPa's birthday 2 weekends ago. First we saw him on his actual birthday at the Razorback tailgate (before the Troy game). We gave him a cake, sang to him, played football with him, and also played hide-and-seek!

On Sunday we met up with Todd, melissa, and their kids, MeMaMa, and MaMa and PaPa at Hardscrabble to eat lunch after church. We were put in the back room so that Michael, Anniston, and Treyson could run wild. And they did. PaPa opened his gifts and we ate ANOTHER birthday cake and also sang Happy Birthday to PaPa.

PaPa, we hope you had a VERY happy birthday. We love you!

Big Toothbrush

So Treyson was rummaging through a bathroom drawer this morning and found an electric brush that my orthodontic office gave me (that I don't like, therefore never used) and decided to claim it. Jerry turned it on and he was pretty shocked at the sensation in his mouth.

He has been carrying it around now for 45 minutes and will stop randomly to "brush".

We are so blessed to have 2 kids that LOVE to brush their teeth. It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a hygienist....we just lucked out! In fact, Treyson can be playing, having a great time and I'll say, "let's go brush our teeth" and he darts to his bathroom as fast as he can. He'd let me brush his teeth 20 times per day if I so desired (which I don't).
