Enjoying the afternoon sunshine on a beautiful November day, watching her bubbas play some football. Doesn't get much better than this.

Fun Within The Frustrating At JerryWorld

The view from the tippy-top.
Someone slept through almost the entire first half, even with me screaming in her ear!
The band was AWESOME at halftime!

Table Tradition
Another year of hand prints added to Grammy's treasured table cloth. And for the first time in a long time, all 5 kiddos were excited about having their hands painted. No tears! Another sign that they are all growing up way too fast.
Thanksgiving 365: The Year I Saved Thanksgiving
This may qualify as my first official turkey. After our master chef fell ill, I stepped in and did the best I could to create Bobby Flay's Black Pepper-Pomegranate Molasses Glazed Turkey. Thankfully Matt had prepared the molasses on Wednesday, so all I really did was follow the recipe. He did have me kick it up a notch by using a garlic and sage infused butter to rub the turkey with first. Although it turned out all right in the end, I'm not looking forward to being in charge of the turkey again any time soon. Get Well Matt!
Wednesday 365: Yippee! Claire's Here!
The fun has begun. These two hit the ground running (with strollers) and didn't stop until they were forced to hug goodbye!

Potty Training Princess
I gave in to bribery today. After her first accident, I created the chart and promised M&Ms. It ended up being her one and only accident of the day. She was so successful that I had to get Matt to stop at the store for some little rewards. She's getting it. And we're getting a little bit closer to a little raise! Potty on, Miss M.

And these three kids were the hit of the wedding.

Suit Up!
My cousin, Cullen, is getting married this weekend. The boys are looking pretty handsome, and ready for their job. Mommy is hoping for at least ONE family picture, and to not have to purchase tuxedos at the end of the night!

SNF - Sunday Night Fun
Some new rowdy birthday friends join the Sunday night party!
And then they formed a rock band:
Cinderella shakes a mean maraca!
Rock on Mattie!
