Thanksgiving Day

Nana made an executive decision today. She bought some new shoes and now she is all giddy about running. Thanksgiving morning, before all of the cooking begins, we are ALL going to the 40th annual YMCA Turkey Trot. It is a 3 mile fun run/walk designed for ALL ages. That means that Parker all the way up to Granddady can come and join in the fun. I second the motion and I will drag my part of the herd to the event. Now come on, who else is with us?!?

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone that has wished me a happy birthday so far today.

First a card with a wonderful picture of my kids from Granny and Grandad with a very generous check. Thanks!

Then a funny card from Pops and Nana with very generous cash. Thanks!

Then the promise of a card from Pete and Sara...I'll believe it when I'm holding it :)
So many cards and so many wonderful gifts from my family. I am so blessed.
My mom called me early this morning and said, “I am so glad I had you. All the huffs and puffs were worth it.”

Kara and the kids, in what is becoming a tradition, shoe polished my car. This morning was cool and there was A LOT of dew on the ground and my car so the results were somewhat runny. But I loved it just the same.

Pops and Nana sent me a funny card that Parker got a kick out of. (We swear he’s not always naked.)

Happy Birthday Mat

Well, it has officially started. Mat kicks off the birthday run. I hope you have a great birthday, Mat! I decided not to mail birthday cards. Too risky. I have great hopes that we will all be together soon and I will hand deliver them. But, see Mat, I do have your card already...

So far the most votes have come in for a restaurant meal with no kids. But no one responded with any ideas; Denton and Pops and Nana's house or Frisco and Mat and Kara's house. I do not really want to spend a ton of money on food. I will enjoy the fellowship sans the kids no matter what I am eating! So I vote for a normal place, like Carinos or something.

Hope to see you all soon!

Hello everyone. Just a note from Pops....my jet got canceled Monday so I rolled my trip off until Monday the 24th. Maybe if I procrastinate buying my ticket I won't go then either. Your mother (Nana) has decided to become a champion swimmer, biker, runner. She started swimming laps and joined the local swimming hole place. Me....heck no! I just went out to the workshop and resumed painting. I don't think I will ever get that thing finished........so what's the story on the 111 birthday dinner. Let me know when so I won't waste money getting the house clean before the clan hits. OK I'm finished. Oh! By the way granddaddy 2nd place does not cut it!

Happy Grandparent's Day!

I goofed and did not get your cards in the mail on time. You should get them by Tuesday, hopefully. I am sorry! My kids are so lucky to have such awesome grandparents and that comes down the line from my grandparents who are so awesome, also. It is so comforting to know how many people love me and my kids. Thanks for being such a wonderful family, and thank you for showing that love in so many ways.

On another note, 2 things:

1. Are we going to plan a get together to celebrate the 111 birthdays we have this month or do I need to mail the b-day cards as well? I hate to do that because we mailed one to Danna that she never received and one to Pete's brother, as well. They had cash in them and I really do not want to do that again. Also, I want to eat cake.

2. Zach and Jodi, how about an update on the mouse house? I heard the mice are smarter than your average bear...
