Hair Cut + Thanksgiving

Ethan decided to give himself a hair cut the other day. He always does so well with his scissors and I would have never thought he would cut his hair. I really thought that was a girl thing!! Well, I got some pictures and then took him outside and buzzed his head. I guess I will have to watch him a little closer next time he uses the scissors.

We went to Amanda's house for Thanksgiving and it wasn't until I got there that I realized I forgot my camera. I was really looking forward in getting some pics of the kids! We had a great time together. Just ate and hung out!!! I did get to have snuggle time with Luke.... he is already growing so fast.

I plan to be posting christmas pics soon......

I am Thankful!

I am Thankful for...

A husband that loves his family and works so hard to provide.

A son that is a joy to me everyday.

A baby growing so fast inside me.

Friends that make life so much fun.

A mom and dad that raised me in a christian home.

A twin sister that understands my thoughts and feelings.

A brother that thinks outside the box and encourages others to do the same.

A sister in law that loves the Lord and loves our redneck family too!

The Cutrer's that always help with the Ethan and our dogs.

Nieces and Nephews that are so special to me.

A job that gives me the opportunity to show God's love.

Jesus that loves me and died for me.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Luke!

Luke is finally here! He is healthy and the cutest little man! He weighted 8lbs 6oz., 20.5 inches tall. The miracle of birth is so awesome and Amanda did great.

The girls were so excited they could hardly contain it. They wanted to hold him immediately and snuggle. They have already proven that they will be helpful big sisters.

I got to take that kids back to Amanda's house on Thursday. We got things all situated for Luke to come home. I got to take (well chase) them riding bikes, we watched a movie, and then they played outside till after dark. I really do love having time with the girls!

This is Luke right before his bath. It is so neat how in just a couple of days they already look so different. I wish I would have gotten more pictures of him awake. I was just enjoying the moments with him. Amanda and Coley are so patient and calm with him. I am always amazed how God prepares us this time in our lives!!!!

Visiting The Elkins and Baby Shower

We went to the Elkin's a couple of weeks ago. We always have so much fun! We try to cram as much that we can in a weekend. Friday night Amanda did "Make your own pizza night" for the kids. They loved doing their own pizza's.

Saturday we had planned a shower along with some dear friends of hers. We had it at their church and had a brunch with Baptist tea. Her friend Amber made the most awesome Coconut Cake. Baby Luke got many nice things to start his new life!

I got to stay with the girls on Sunday and Monday night so Amanda and Coley could have a couple of nights away. They are so well behaved!! Ethan, Landri, and Paige get along so well. It was a blessing to have some time alone with them. We went to the movies, park, and rode bikes. The last night I turned on some music and the dancer's came out in all of them. It just reminds me of when we were that age.
