Statements made by women

RANDOM pictures from my phone... 

 A few weeks ago we went to a birthday party at Cedar Hill Farm.  All the kids loved riding the horses.
 Annie loved them the most.  She bucked and screamed, "peas" (please) to ride again.
 You're only as cool as you think you are, and this guy thinks he's super cool.
Look... no hands!
 The chicken show....
 Eating cake
 And there's an old tractor at the entrance that the boys must try out every visit.
When Annie gets quiet that means she's up to no good.... like when I was cooking breakfast and she unwrapped two presents.   Luckily, they were her's.
 Fancy took the boys hunting...
 And Anna Greer was missing her Annie so she stopped by for a visit!  Annie missed her "Deer" (as she calls her) too.
 The boys helped me make sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving.
 And all three kids helped Daddy score his deer head.
 Got her football gloves on...
Never call me prissy... I know how to bush-hog.  
 Matching clothes brings me sooo much joy and happiness.  My days are definitely limited, who am I kidding, my three wouldn't go out in public dressed alike anymore.  Ohhh but as long as they want gifts under my tree they will wear matching Christmas pajamas for life!
 And we've made our countdown chains...
 Bitty insisted on having the biggest gift under the tree.  Like he kept on and on and on talking about it for days!  So BAM.... there you go.  I hope he doesn't go into fullout Jekyll and Hyde mode when he opens his DVD!!!!!!
 STATEMENTS.... Women make statements everyday.  Here's Annie's...she's mad!  (That's Wal-Mart....YUCK!)
 After I picked Bitty up from school they both wanted to drive down the driveway.
 And who doesn't love cake right out of the dish!!!

Started at the tree and ended with a fanny

   Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day!!!  My family honestly has so much to be thankful for.  We often take things for granted, but when you no longer have them you realize their importance.

   Last year was the last “good” time (with mom) my side of the family had together.  Mom definitely wasn’t feeling well, but she pushed herself and tried so hard to make the day perfect, and it was.  This year was so nice too, but her absence was felt.  I was fixing the dining room table and planned for 6 adults, then later realized we only had five.  There are times I still think she will come back, but until I see her in Glory Land I will hold tight to the memories and love on my people who are here a little harder!

   We started the day off at my church for some ginkgo tree pictures.  Naturally, in true Bitty fashion, he fell in some mud BEFORE the pictures were even taken.  Go Bitty!!!
