MACY - POO


My little Macy-poo!  She is growing up!  Almost 15 months old now.  Where has the time gone.  It sure does seem to fly.  Before we know it, she will be potty-trained and riding bikes.  Can't she stay little forever?  Can't all of them.  I joke with Joshua and Marah all the time, how I want them to stay little forever.  But God has other plans for them.  Rodney and I have been so blessed to have 3 children and to raise these little munchkins like God would want us to.  We both were blessed with amazing families! 
With Thanksgiving being right around the corner, my blessings seem to be on my mind a lot lately. 
Rodney gave me a new little handheld digital camera for my birthday and I was so proud of the pictures I took with it.  Not as good as Brooke, but it will do fine for now.

I was finally able to post about Joshua and Marah's trip to the Pumpkin Patch too.  They are in the October folder.

All 9 of them!



I love these kiddos!  Are they not adorable?  It is still hard to get all 9 looking at the same time, but every few months helps.  This one in particular turned out really well I thought.  It was taken on the front porch of my grandmother's home.

We have some fun times a coming.

My mom has hit a huge milestone in her life.  She has been working so hard for months losing pound after pound and she has now lost 100 pounds!!!!!  Amazing!  She looks amazing.  I am so very very proud of her.  My dad told her a couple of months ago that she deserved to do almost anything she wanted to do for losing all the weight.  So she decided to take us all to Nashville during Christmas time (our most favorite time of the year).  We are staying at the Opryland Hotel for 2 nights and each family gets their own room.  Let's just say we have all bunked up in the past and to have our own rooms is a "big" deal.  Not that we don't like bunking up (at least the girls that is), but our family has grown a lot over the past few years.  This trip is more of a prize for us we feel like than for mom, but if you know her, she wouldn't have it any other way.  She is always looking for ways to make memories and for ways to get us all together.  We leave in 33 days and we are on the countdown.  Several things are on the itinerary already: the Rockettes, Ice-the Charlie Brown Special, Louise Mandrell's Christmas Dinner & Show, the Holiday Kids Train, the Gingerbread Corner and more to come I'm sure.  My mom is a planner.  She loves to have our day filled with all kinds of fun things to do.  The best part of all of this is that we will all be together as a family!









I had to throw in this picture of Macy that I cropped from the top picture!  She is almost 15 months and getting bigger and older by the second.  Always wanting to do what her big bro and big sis are doing.
