the Ham

We went to AL a couple weeks ago to celebrate my nephews 3rd birthday.  He had a Fire Station Birthday Party.  It was so fun!

All of the kids got a turn ringing the fire bell.  For some reason Bryant was convinced he was going to go for a ride in the truck.  No one ever said he would get to take a ride...but he was convinced that he was going.  So, this is him very dissappointed when I told him that he wasn't going for a ride after he said he "needed" to stay in the truck...hence, the next kid having to wait even longer for their turn to ring the bell.

One of the firemen did a magic show for the kids.  They were so attentive...

It's always nice coming to AL and having back up with the kiddos.  We relax a little and if we're lucky, we get a date night.

Play time with Pap Pap...



 

 We are so thankful for date nights!!!!  Especially knowing our boys are well taken care of.

 

A weekend in the ham isn't complete without Bryant making biscuits with Pap Pap...

He loves to help and always makes a mess.  So cute!!!

Over it...

Bradley has been sick for a week and we are over it.  OVER IT!!!  Sleepless nights, fevers, coughing, snot everywhere, vomit...you name...and the poor buddy is teething on top of it all.  It's just a cold, but this is a cold on steroids and it won't quit.  Actually, both boys were sick last week.  So we spent the week at home together.  Bryant missed school all week.  Bradley and I have missed our first two Teeny Tots and Tunes classes; a mommy and me music class at our church.  I missed Zumba last week and will miss tomorrow as Bradley is still blowing snot everywhere and spiking fevers.  We didn't do anything but watch TV last week...who am I kidding...we do that every week.  The boys would play, some, and I would sew (yay for me). 

 

Bradley is still sick, but Bryant is better and has been at school this week.  He didn't want to nap today, but the tiredness overcame him and he fell asleep in the floor.  Because I am a nice momma, I moved him to the couch.  Not really, nice.  Bradley was stepping on him and I was stepping over him, so it had to be done...

Swing set

My parents got the boys a swing set for Christmas.  I have been meaning to post some pictures of them so my parents could see them enjoying their new toy.  This unseasonable weather has its benefits...

Dixie doesn't particularly care for the see-saw...

For whatever reason Bryant prefers sliding backwards...

 

 

 Quality check...

It's good!

Thank you Ga-Ga and Pap-Pap

Four Christmas round-up...

NOT!!!

Not like you all have been waiting by the computer or anything...but I'm behind on my blogging.  I was getting a "you are out of space" error, but I checked my space...I have plenty...I'm stumped.  I hope I can get a couple of pictures on here, as that is the root of my "space" problem, apparently. 



Anyway, I've decided that I will spare everyone and not give our four Christmas round up this year.  I will for sure be out of space then.  We had a blast in AL, as always.  We are very blessed and so very thankful for our family. 

This is how we all felt when it was over...

Santa landed.  We had a great Christmas at home and I was able to make my family a delicious meal.  According to Nick it was just like being in Alabama...so, in my book, that means I did a GREAT job.  I made Dressing, Giblet Gravy, Hash-brown Casserole and Corn Casserole.  We got a small ham from Kroger and I had to fry some okra.  Delicious!!!

 This is how we all felt after dinner...













A little bit of love....



I love my family so much!  Feeling very blessed.

Merry Belated Christmas and Happy Belated New Year!
