Fire Department Christmas Dinner

Jack really was enthusiastic about seeing Santa....again....We had a great time at the Fire Dept. Christmas Dinner.....We have been doing these for oh so long now....we just hated to miss our possible last one! (Dad may be retiring this year).

Parker says, "Cheeeeeeese"....Seriously, what is it that draws toddlers to stairs?

Parker laughing at Trey saying , "Cheese".....

Parker, Trey and Cousin Will.......

2nd Annual Tacky Christmas Clothes Party!

The 2nd annual tacky christmas clothes party was a success. Everyone managed to dig out some tacky Christmas attire ( I think most people dug from their parents closets!)....I do have say that I think Jarrett may have won.....AGAIN!....Yes, TJ has on scrubs instead of Christmas clothes, but he did have good intentions.....sometimes the hospital calls, Ha!

The Men and kids pose for pic....Hass, TJ (with Jack), Jarrett (with Jacey), Tony (with Tyler) and Neil (with Trey).....Aren't you proud guys, I didn't cut your head off!

Now its the womens turn....Yes, I had to come out of my festive sweater due to the "sweats" I had....it seems these "post-pregnancy" hormones seem to hang around a little longer than I remembered.

Santa even came to visit the kids and bring presents! This was the 1st time that Parker hadn't cried at Santa!

Quick Pose...

The kids cooperated for a quick picture in their "christmas clothes"....on the way out the door to church. I negotiated Trey putting his arm around Parker, but there was no way I was going to be successful in getting him to drop the sippy cup. Sometimes its best to pick your battles....

Iron Bowl

No, the Iron Bowl didn't exactly turn out in our favor this year, but it's not like we weren't expecting it....However, we still managed to have fun with the Walkers and the Carpri's!

Doc and Granna stopped over at Halftime for a quick Kiss.....from the kids, not us....

Jack...relaxed as usual!

Thanksgiving 08

Here's some pics from Thanksgiving with the Fuqua Family. We went to Aunt Susie's house...all the way out inAlabaseter, Ha! No, we didn't have to travel far! Anyway, the top picture is Me, TJ and kids with Aly, Granna, and Doc. The last time we took this picture was 3 years ago....what a difference 3 years makes....we grew by 2 more people! All day long we were trying to CONVINCE Trey to smile in any picture we took, which was not fun...and then in the last picture he was ALL smiles because it was Nolan and Tyler in the picture.....he just loves his older cousins! or second cousins, whatever! Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day!

Trey and Jack

Trey and Jack hanging out one random morning. Trey usually tunes out both Jack and Parker for most of the day....he is content to play with his toys, and EVERY now and then he'll ask to hold Jack, like he did in this photo.....he usually sneaks in the "jack hugs" and Jack kisses" when he doesn't know anyone is looking....I had to take advantage of the moment.

Marshmallow Creme, Benadryl, and a Nap

Well, I guess I'm not going to win "mom of the year award" again this year! Trey kept asking for a spoonful of Marshmallow Creme...so I gave in and said, sure what can it hurt? Well, apparently there are egg whites in Marshmallow Creme, who woulda thought? Within 5 minutes his entire face started turning red....a big dose of Benadryl quickly followed....and as you can see a really good nap...

Jack 3 months Old!

Jack posing for his monthly picture.....yes, he is already 3months old and filling out quite nicely, Ha! Look at all those adorable rolls, it just makes me want to hug him tight! Yes, I can already tell he's going to be "momma's baby"...

Child or Granny?

Getting ready for church Sunday morning...Granna came over with her glasses on and nothing would do Parker but for her to wear Granna's glasses. She looked just like an old school marm, it was so funny. Now this is the same child that refuses to leave a bow in her hair....but was content to wear the glasses for as long as we let her!

Football Saturday

Is there really a such thing as too many Auburn clothes? Jack doesn't think so....here he is sporting the outfit that Granna and Doc brought him to the hospital...We thought we would try him out in the exersaucer...he has blankets propping him up since he hasn't mastered holding his head up for very long. He seemed to like it though!

Halloween 08

Yes, I am so thankful that TJ is such a good sport....and willingly put on the Superman Costume without one single complaint! Me, TJ and Trey were Superhero's (spiderman wasn't up for pics) Parker was a Daisy and Jack was a dragon!

After trick or treating, Parker and Trey enjoyed passing out candy to the trick or treaters that came to our house. They literally sat in our doorway with the candy bucket between them....I'm pretty sure they ate more than they gave out! Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!

More Halloween

O.K....Mom and Debra wore their Mardi Gras Masks...and Michele (the mime) and Jason (the hippie) went as "peace and quiet"...I thought that was very original.

Three Blind Mice...

Instead of a Halloween party, Trey's school did a Nursery Rhyme Parade....he went to school dressed as one of the Three Blind Mice. His teacher emailed me later that day and said, "when Trey got to school this morning, he was so excited about the parade, he kept running into the wall and falling down, I told him to stop doing that because he was going to hurt himself. He then said, "Mrs. Brenda, I can't help it I'm a blind mice"....Oh, my....what a little class clown we are going to have! TJ is going to pay for all those "gotcha last" games in Ms. Burns' class!

Crabbing

We took the kids "crabbing" at the beach....Parker insisted on having a headband flashlight just like Trey's and she wore it proudly! Ready or not crabs here we come....We actually didn't see a single crab, apparently they don't come out in cold weather!

The Beach Continued....

Yes, we transitioned from "Christmas Outfits" to "Halloween Costumes" in just a few short hours (Ha!)....We got the kids dressed up to go to Grandaddy's Halloween party at the convention! My little Pea in the Pod, my little daisy and my "spiderman".....I love the way Parker is looking at Jack in the second picture...she's like "What the heck are you supposed to be?"
