Christmas?

Mommy and Daddy gave me my first Christmas gift! They found it on craigslist! They said it was to big to hide and I wouldn't know any better. What does Mommy and Daddy know :)

(The trains in the picture he already had)

We found this today for $40! It came with track, the table, and a ton of trains. Zachary doesn't know about the trains (they will be saved for Christmas) The table is really cool it has two storage bins to put the track and everything else in :) 

Daddy's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

This weekend was MY Daddy's birthday! We went up to see Nana and Papa. We had a party for Taylor and Daddy. I wasn't feeling good but I played with my girls anyway! 

This is my Great Grandmother :)

Vacation and beyond

This is a little bit of our vacation.

The Vacation House

We went to Dollywood two days and I loved it.

This is Kerry, Taylor, Emily, and Cami, and me at the bottom.

This is a Bob and Larry roller coaster. I rode it one time but it was too loud!!

After we got back from vacation Mommy and Daddy went on a trip to New Orleans. I stayed with Nana and Papa. I had so much fun with them!

Here are some pictures from their trip.

* Mommy Note

I found this today and thought it was really cool!

1. Every child I know who overcame long odds and grew into a responsible adult can point to an adult who stepped into his or her life as a friend, mentor, and guide.

2. Don’t be too concerned that your children don’t listen to you. But be very concerned that they see everything you do.

3. Be so consistent in your discipline that you’re boring.

4. Stop arguing in front of your children.

5. You may think children have outgrown the desire to be rocked to sleep at night. They haven’t.

6. Children will never believe in the covenant of marriage unless they see you living it with their own eyes.

7. How do you know if a child needs encouragement? If he or she is breathing.

Today is a new day!

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalms 118:24)

I know a lot of people woke up and the flooding became an awful reality. Some have lost homes while others have lost friends and family, but we must remember that God is still in control.

THE SUN IS SHINING!!!

Mommy gave me a haircut today! I did really good today and I didn't even cry!

I don't know about you...

I don't know about you but I am getting prepared!

Umm...OK, so in this book, the boat is too heavy and they all fall out...

My boat is too heavy!

OK, I should be good right after this.
