What's New

How about new haircuts!

Also, they have new pj's, hair bows, and light-up necklaces....THANKS GRANDIE & PAPAW!

Somebody thinks

there is something missing in this picture. (hint: it is not the rest of Kinsley's face)

Did you figure it out? Isn't she too cute??? I know so!

And The Benz has not come to terms still with the fact that Halloween is OVER! Nor does she care if she is in her undies in front of family, friends, strangers, or the camera.

(fyi - Kinsley's nicknames are as follows: The Benz, Benzer, Kinzer, and Pookie Pie)

Jordan and friends rocked out to the dance Wii game. That game rocks. I'm thinking more than Shred. Sorry Vicki! It's certainly more fun! Especially since I have beat Mr. Ed multiple times, and Mr. Ed has MAD dance skills.

Band kids do not only rock the field, but they rock the dance floor too. Well, maybe all except the girl that's off sync...or maybe the others were off??? Hmmm......

It's About Time

for an update...don't you agree?

Well, Jordan was nominated (didn't win...but that's okay) for homecoming prince.




Averi and Kinsley wore their first homecoming mums. I also made one for Jordan's "date" but didn't take pictures. I'm not really sure what the point was of "taking" someone to homecoming since he couldn't sit with her because of the homecoming court stuff and band. But, what do I know???

HALLOWEEN!! Averi was a scary witch, and Kinsley was her pot. Although, Kinsley kept telling everyone that she was a kitty cat. Kinsley is still ringing our door bell and saying "trick or treat". Actually, she says "trick or treat, my smella my feet". I have NO idea who taught her that. ;)






Jordan was a candy dish. Pretty clever, huh? Yeah, that was my idea. Thank you very much.
And finally, do you know what this is? It's a 65 Convertible Ford Mustang that belongs to ME! My sweet hubby bought this baby for me. It's going to be B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L once it gets a little TLC. A little background story: When Ed & I were first dating, we went to a classic car show & I saw the prettiest 65 Convertible Mustang. I was in love. I really liked the car, too. ;)

Another First Day!

Summer flew by! Averi is a big 1st grader now.



She was so excited for her first day!





Her friend and soccer teammate is in her class. They even sit right by each other. Could be trouble!



Jordan was so excited to once again have his picture taken for this special day.



After Jordan walked out of the house, Kinsley ran and opened the door & yelled out, "Jordan, love you too. Have a good day!" It was super duper sweet!

Do You Know What Today Was?

If you said Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A you would be correct. This year we had cow noses. I'm sure there is another name for cow noses, but I'm not sure what that would be. Eddie saw the pictures and said, "Thanks for dressing my kids up like Hannibal Lecter". Maybe next year we will forgo the cow noses.

Nie

I visit Nie Nie's blog. She was just a regular mom of 4, enjoying life, enjoying her children, loving her husband. It changed in an instant when she was a passenger in a small plane that her husband was piloting/co piloting. She was burned severely and in a coma for 6 months. She now blogs about her daily life struggles and trying to be the mom and wife she was before the accident.

Today I dove into her archive on her blog...just randomly picked a month & found this post that had me dying laughing & so relating. Now, we don't use saucy language like the "f" word at our house. We go with "toot". To each their own, I guess.

I know Mr. Ed would totally love a gift like this. Someday Mr. Ed....maybe!

Averi graduated

Kinsley lost the 2 paci on a clip contraption. She is paci free.

We grew these. They are yummy!

Yeah, you guessed it. He just doesn't learn.

We did change it up a bit.

Shred time. Visit Vicki Courtney for a shred adventure and much more.

More shredding. Drumline vs. Flutes volleyball party.

He's so cute! And I'm so proud!

Mr. Ed made some yummy ice cream for Father's Day.

And got loved on by his girls!

Oh, Ken paid a surprise visit to Jordan's House of Blues & rocked out on the marimba. Hoping his girraffe found some food in there.
