Vols Basketball Game

Dusty & I took the kids to a UT Mens Basketball game. They had a blast! Colton is really into basketball right now & loves watching the Vols. Kenleigh had to wear her cheerleader uniform & was rooting them on from the stands!

Uncle Richard playing Santa at Julie's

We had a wonderful Christmas! Uncle Richard came up from Texas & stayed with us for two weeks. It is always great to have him around. We started Christmas morning at our house - the kids must have been good because Santa sure did deliver! We headed to Julie's to open gifts with the Trimbles & Stubblefields & ended at Papaw & Kay Kay's house. We had our annual Christmas dinner at Julie & Aaron's - it was delicious!!!

December 2009

Now the December Summary!!!

We woke up on a Saturday morning to find....SNOW!! It was a great surprise. We haven't had much snow around here lately - at least not like we had when I was growing up. It was mostly gone the next day, but it was pretty while it lasted!

Getting ammo for the snowball fight!

On Friday Dec 4, I got a call from the clinic at school that Colton had hurt his finger on the playground. We figured he had jammed it - it was nice & purple & swollen. On Monday, he still didn't have full movement so I called the doctor. Of course, we couldn't get in until Tuesday afternoon. The doctor did an xray & his pinky finger was broken! He set us up with an appointment with the orthopedist for Thursday. Dusty kept telling him - you won't need a cast, maybe just a splint. Well was Daddy wrong! I felt so awful for not trusting my instinct & taking him to the doctor the day it happened, but the orthopedist said it was fine. Colton wasn't bothered at all by the cast - he thought it was the coolest thing ever! He had it all through Christmas & New Year's - he was even a little upset when it came off.

November 2009

I'm WAY behind on blogging, so I'm going to do a few "summary" posts!

Colton's class had their Thanksgiving lunch with LOTS of yummy food!

Kenleigh is trying to give up naps, but every now & then she really needs one. This is how I found her after school one day.

We had our Thanksgiving dinner at Aunt Lulie & Uncle Aaron's on Sunday after Thanksgiving. The cousins are starting to play together so well now! This is how we found them - Colton reading to the little ones.

I attempted to get some pictures of the kids for Christmas cards. None of them turned out as I'd hoped, but I still got a few cute ones!
