Best Picture

Last week, Diane and Aaron stopped by for a visit on their way to pick Mark up at the airport. We went to eat at a wings place and then stopped by Starbucks! While Diane was getting our coffee, I showed Aaron around so he could appreciate the finer things in life - COFFEE!!!! Here's a picture that we took together!

Weekend with the Boys

I went to Matt and Lori's for the Halloween weekend. Mark and Diane came too so I get a weekend with my two boys! Of course, as soon as I got here the pictures started so I figured I should probably start putting up pictures now before my camera gets full! :) We have already had a great time all together (except for Gloria and Elayna) and there is much more to come (Halloween costumes). Aaron also tried rice cereal for the second time only it was totally successful this time. It was so much fun to be there and get to help Diane with it. He also started experimenting with a sippy cup, which was also a very positive experience. Enjoy some GREAT pictures of Eli and Aaron!!!

The Boys

Here kitty kitty kitty....

What if you had to limit your cat's TV intake? Seriously, everytime I turn on the TV my cat runs at lighting speed to watch the little people dance around on the screen. Naturally, being the good mother that I am, I got it on camera.

I should be...

Well, I should be grading my kids' tests. Atleast that's what a good teacher would be doing. BUT, what am I doing??? I am watching NBA basketball and updating my blog about one of my nephews. Which, you have to admit is way more fun than grading. I'll be visiting with both of them AT THE SAME TIME for Halloween this weekend so just be preparing yourself :) Anyway, just thought I'd show you cute pictures of Aaron and me.

Have you seen something this cute??

I have to say, one of the cool things about being an aunt is having the right to take as many pictures of your neice and nephews as you want. I think I have about 4 different folders for each neice/nephew. Kinda ridculous but...anyway, while I was at my parent's house for part of fall break I decided to take as many pictures of Elayna as possible. Mom has this wood horse that was made by a man in the church at Melber. It's "child size". So, Elayna LOVES to ride it. So I LOVE to take her picture while she LOVES to ride it. So you get to LOVE watching her LOVE to ride the horse.

Visit with Eli

I thought I would post some pictures of Eli and I. I went to visit him (and Matt and Lori) last Thursday. I got some fun bonding time with my new nephew and look forward to this coming weekend when I get a whole 3 days with him :)

Does anyone know where my voice went???

I went home for my neice's birthday last Saturday. I felt really good till about Saturday afternoon and everything went down hill from there. I stayed sick the rest of the weekend. Drove back to Gallatin and was home sick until Thursday. I decided to blame it all on my kids. I think they took all their symptoms, balled them up, and sent them to me in Kentucky. So, there I was, laid up, sick FOREVER! I went to school on Thursday because I was feeling some better and ended up loosing my voice on Thursday night. I have just now started to find it again but I'm trying not to push it because I don't want to loose it again. On a positive note, my dog and my cat LOVED having me home for 3 days in a row. They went through withdrawls on Thursday and Friday.

There's my update. I don't have any fun pictures for you.
