Enchanted Tracks...

We always enjoy going to the Pavilion this time of year.. brings back lots of memories of when I worked there. We went Saturday night to enchanted tracks. Aleeza had been looking forward to meeting the princesses...and she got to meet Snow White and Belle ( thanks to the Bob Jones volunteers) Here is Livvy, Adry (their cousin) and Aleeza. They had a great time.

Apple picking...

Last Saturday we enjoyed the morning apple picking.. .the girls had lots of fun... it was very windy but we had a good time!!

Pumpkin painting...

The girls, and the kids I babysit painted pumpkins last week.. we had so much fun... they were great and the pumpkins turned out so cute!! Livvy was very into this.. we had to throw this shirt out though.. oh well.. fun times!!

Matching girls....

The girls get a thril out of seeing K. K their cousin come to the door with clothes..... and so do I... That means Aunt Colleen has been on the hunt again for them... here they are in their matching Christmas PJ from Aunt Colleen.. I know it is early but it has been chilly at night and they are so cozy looking in them!!

Visit with Aunt Bonnie....

Aunt Bonnie came to visit and we had so much fun together... it is so nice to see her. I am so blessed to have such a good friend!!! I am glad her cousin is getting married, because now I will get to see her a few times in the next few months!! She spoils the girls all the time... this time they got "bling bling" purses with sunglasses.... they are way too cute!! Thanks for coming to visit...we LOVE you and miss ya!!

Camping out....

Brandon was able to enjoy some time with Aleeza when he camped out with her... it was special for them both. It was a nice evening and before they fell asleelp we made smores... they camped in the backyard...good times and memories!!

Saturday...

We are doing well... no new pictures sorry.. just words.. We spent the morning at the zoo which was a lot of fun. Aleeza loves going there. Livvy just points and grunted every now and then and Maddie just looked around. We are glad it is the weekend. We live for the weekends. We love our Saturdays together and look forward to spending Sunday in the Lord's house. It is so nice to go there and turn our attention towards Him and all He has done for us. We are so thankful to have the Lord looking down on us and protecting us and watching over us. We serve a almighty God with whom we have much to be thankful. No new news for us on the business end, Brandon is working at UPS which we are really thankful for, I have three kids now that I am watching. Thank you for your continued prayers!!

wedding time...

My wedding dress hangs in Aleeza's closet and she is always looking at it... it is cute. I have been wanting to take her picture in it... not great pictures.. but you get the point.. She had fun dressing up. Maddie also got in on the action...

Livvy well.. she was not thrilled.. hopefully she is not like this on the day of her wedding!!

No I didn't wear the princess crown when I got married... just wanted to clarify that!!

Our picnics out side...

The weather has been so nice lately we have been eating outside... plus we sold our breakfast table at a yard sale and I don't want this mess on my dining room set...:) Funny thing with Livvy in the picture was she had ice cream all over her face and everywhere else but she had fallen and gotten dirt on her hands and was very concerned about that... Aleeza and Livvy love to go outside.. Maddie just goes along for the ride!!

Way over due... yet again...

Seems like time just gets by us so fast this days.. can't imagine why??? We are all good. The Lord is good, and we are thankful for that. We are excited about what He has for us in the future. Right now, Brandon is busy working on closing on a house and getting ready to start a commercial project. We have been very busy the past few weeks, Brandon's parents came down for a visit, I have been babysitting daily, which the girls love having other around, we have not run our air for a full week now!!!! The weather is gorgeous, there is lots going on that we are thrilled about. We have a wonderful family, great house, so much to be thankful for!!!

Well, to the pictures which I know you all want....

Ok it is official.....I am selling Avon! :)

First I have to say that Auntie Bonnie will probably get the biggest kick out of this... I don't know why but I just think she will!
Ok besides, taking care of my own three girls and one new boy that I am watching, and applying for my teaching certificate and possibly starting classes next semester, applying for the PACE program through the state of South Carolina oh yeah and running my husbands' accounting stuff on the side..... I am selling AVON! yeah yeah...laugh laugh laugh..never thought you'd see me doing this huh? Well I didn't either, until I checked out their website and was like I can do this... I can't sell stuff to people face to face but I can sure sell on line and come up with a website... so check it out. Don't buy from me if you already buy from some one else,but do check out all the kids' stuff. They have some really cute kids' things that I am going to get. They have tons of stuff... not just make-up! But if you do want to order something.. go for it!

Always movin....always something...

How we enjoy Papa and Nana's watermelon.. oh wait I can't yet.... How Livvy enjoys Papa's watermelon... quite messy...

Loves her spaghetti.... Playing...nicely...yeah!! Sisterly love... Aleeza adores Maddie...it is really cute!! Again thanks to Aunt Bonnie for our matching outfits...:)

Visit from Julie...

I was so happy to have my friend Julie and her daughter Emma stop in for a while to visit a few weeks ago.... Jules and I have spent many a good times together.. including 6 weeks in China one summer. We go way back..from being in each other's wedding, to being in the same prayer group, same soceity...tons of things. I love ya Julie!!! Thanks for visting.. we are hoping these two will be good friends one day. They are only 2 months apart.. so provided we both send our kids to BJ they should be good friend!!

Night out...

We were headed to Kid's Planet on saturday night when it started raining so we made a quick turn and went to Gattitown.....the girls had a blast!!! So did daddy... I might add!!
Girls enjoying the fire engine ride...

Livvy's first ride on the carousel...
Maddie's first ride....

Bloggin....again...

Yeah yeah yeah... I know you all are sick and tired of looking at the chicken post so here are some new ones... yes life is crazy with three... yes I don't recommend 12 months apart, yes I love them and would not trade it though for anything... We are doing well. Brandon has some work that is coming through. We are very thankful for some recent contacts for building houses. We have actually had two in the past week. Brandon is getting his commercial license next week which we are excited about. That will open up a whole new avenue for him. He is excited about doing his first commercial job in the next month or so. A new office building for a local landscaping company. We are open to all new things right now. Brandon and I are both looking into new things for our lives.. as if three kids weren't enough.....I have started watching a little boy and he is super sweet!! He is three so Aleeza and him are really clicking. Livvy is still just trying to figure out where she fits in and of course Maddie doesn't care.. as long as she eats and sleeps she is fine! Also, you all can be praying. Brandon is thinking about taking a few classes here and there and getting his degree in Construction Science! He is pretty pumped about that... there is a local college( shall be left unnamed...but would be quite the working of the Lord if Brandon went back there and taught...) but they are looking for some teachers for their construction department! He is ready to start tomorrow... Also pray for me.. I have applied for the PACE program through the state of South Carolina to teach Emotionally Disabled children in the public school system. I thought it was a three year process but come to find out you just apply and they have accepted all my test scores from 6 years ago when I was an education major. There are a few classes to take and obviously I am not interested in teaching right now but in the future. So that is what is new with Brandon and I. The girls... well they are growing growing growing.. Aleezas' latest... is " my back is really killing me.." , she is learning all the days of the week and can count to 20 now... she is starting to be able to sound out words...other famous quotes..Brandon said that something was bothering him...so Aleeza said, " throw it in the trash can then..." well... she is quite the little missy. Livvy.. well she is still eating... eating... eating... I have to cut her off.. but she is still only in the 50th percentale for her weight.. go figure. She moves a lot though. Maddie is so cute!! She is laughing so much and grins from ear to ear. What a blessing they are!

Free Chicken....:)

Ok so we dressed up like cows to get our free food... and I couldn't not have done it without my dear friend and cousin Kendrea helping me..:) She has been my life saver the past few weeks. We had a blast. Kyla, Aleeza and Livvy ( who is too enthralled with the cows in the picture below) dressed up yesterday for our free food. yes even Mommy and Kendrea put ears on for a free sandwich! Aleeza was scared to death but warmed up. I think it was Kyla wanting to get her picture with the cows that did it for her!!
