three days before thanksgiving and we are at the BEACH!

So how jealous are those of you stuck in cold climates!!! The kids get this whole week off school, so we met up with Aunt Shelly and baby Goldie and Aunt Vanessa dropped off Claire, and we spent a few hours at the beach on Monday. It was warm and wonderful....except for the whole "red tide" thing, which had us all coughing, but it was still nice to get a little sun. The water was too cold for me, but the kids had a great time jumping over the waves.

Thanksgiving Feast

Jett's little preschool had a thanksgiving feast that we were invited to. They put on a little program....Jett's googley eye fell off his shirt on his way in and he was so preoccupied trying to put it back on that he didn't participate at all. But he is doing on encore for our thanksgiving dinner. Isn't he the cutest pilgrim EVER!

District 7 3A Champions!

Hook 'em Horns. My darling wonderful, amazing head coach of a husband has done it again....he has taken a team and in a few short years, made them champions. Harmony is the district champions! We are currently in the state play-offs. We won the first game so Friday is week two of states. And things are looking good....we are playing a team we have already beat twice!


At the district champ game, the were news people from all the majors local stations. It took forever for him to finish talking to them....our little celebrity!



Ahhh...the joy of motherhood!


So this is how this DISGUSTING event took place.
That morning, jett came in to my room and asked if he could get Josie an bottle with eggnog in it. Sure, I say. Later that morning, this happened. I was standing in the kitchen with Kara, Sam and Rachelle when all of a sudden, mount Jigga erupted! We were all laughing hysterically while dry heaving ourselves! So I cleaned her up...and I thought it was odd because she wasn't acting sick before and didn't act sick after...no fever, nothing. So I'm thinking a fluke puke, right?! Well, it all made sense to me later that night. Duce came into the bedroom and asked if he could get some eggnog in a sipper for his and Avery. Sure, I say. I can hear him in the kitchen. Then Duce walks into my room with a weird look on his face and says, "mom, this eggnog tastes funny" Then it dawned on me..and I asked him if he had gotten it from the Land O'Lakes skinny bottle or the Land O'Lakes big bottle and he said skinny...the other wasn't opened. He had poured him and Avery a cup of HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM.....which means that Jett had given Josie a full bottle of HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM and she downed the whole thing. No wonder she threw up...I would, too!


$ $ And Duce gets richer $ $

Duce is not one of those kids that sits in front of the mirror working on a loose tooth until it finally comes out. No, his literally fall out of his mouth. The adult teeth are visible when the baby tooth comes out and the is little or no root left. This one was hanging by a thread and he let me just pop it out.
At Tyler's last football game, his other front tooth was wobbling. After much begging on my part, he finally left me take it out the rest of the way....so now he can really say, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."

Jo is a big girl now




So Josie has learned how to climb up onto the bar and now REFUSES to sit in her high chair for any meal. Sot his is her first official dinner up with the big kids.....Can't you tell she is super excited about it!


Jett tries to be helpful by feeding jo....but most of the time, the food ends up on the floor for the dogs!
