Oh goodness since Halloween .. Where do I begin so I will scatter this out and hopefully after Christmas I can be a good blogger again.. Sorry! Let's see! November~ Thanksgiving was great and the little baby Georgia Hope I will be keeping was born on Nov 27.. She is beautiful. I can't wait to be her nanny, I am very excited and happy / sad about leaving my job of over 8 years .. I wont miss working but I have become close with a lot of ladies and guys at GMAC. I love crunching numbers it makes my day go by fast . But being a Mommy is much better I will be crunching diapers, bottles, poop, pee, spitup, marli falling everywhere trying to walk now, sage being almost 3 ( and boy can they learn to back talk at 3) wooo hooo.. 2 yr old was nothing I dont' think to that mouth at 3 yr old.. I have got my hands full but he ain't never been calm.. He is wide open wild 24/7.. Anyways so putting in my notice felt awesome.. Went to hollywild zoo to see christmas light and feed the animals and I had as much fun as Sage and Marli ... I love Christmas time its my favorite. Love it! I love that our family is so big and so close that we all still get together.. I love everything about Christmas.. I love that sage sings Jesus Happy Birthday! Rogers CD got released and he did chose my pics and that tickled me pink. I have had so many people tell me how proud they are .. That makes me happy to hear.. NOthing big just a hobby I love but hearing compliments is nice. Thats what your supposed to do right when someone does a good job at something? so it feels nice. Cousin Brett got married to Heather and it was a beauiful wedding. Talked more with Bryan about his land and getting married but it was nice to catch up with cousins.. Marli now has 7 teeth and 1 on the way .. She is one handing it around furniture.. She is growing up way to fast. Tonight we did Christmas with the Hughes.. They came over for Pizza and gifts. So much fun! Sage cannot wait for HOHO .. (neither can me or wes. ) ha ... Well heres some pics to catch you up!

Halloween was so much fun! To start the evening off we did a hotdog supper at our house. Everyone came brought their kids in their adorable costumes. The kids were so excited they could hardly sit still to eat. Sage really understood the meaning of lets get tons of candy for you pumpkin! WoW he was like really mommy? Bunches? We had the ol so famous Batman (sage) , little lady bug (marli) , Mermaid (chloe) , Power Ranger (champ) , Spider Man (bricen) , A braves baseball player (payton) . As soon as we ate we ran out got the kids into the wagons and took off trick or treating on our street. They couldn't believe that if you asked for candy at someones house you GOT IT !! After the trick or treating we went to our chuches fall carnival, jumpy houses, slides, food, trunk or treat which i really enjoyed. The kids played until they just couln't play anymore. We had a blast. I posted some pics so enjoy. ( oh the pic or marli and the little girl chloe , chloe told her mommy that she was a real life baby doll.. ( gotta love those 2 yr olds. )

Happy Fall Y'all

Okay its October and boy have we been busy. Oct 12-14 Me, Wes, Albert and Jackie went on a ATV camping trip to Elberton GA to ride 4-Wheelers. We had a BLAST. It was our first time leaving the kids 2 nights in a row so kind of hard on me but good for Wes and I . You have to work on your marriage just like you work on being a parent so Wes and I haveing some time with just each other was great. Kind of strange but great. It was weird sleeping till 8:30 with out waking up or saying the words NO, Lets not do that, get down , she's pooped again, funny how all that becomes daily habits and you can't remember what you did before you had children. So wes and I along with Jackie and Albert had a great Adult ATV camping trip . We will def go again and I hope to post pics later we only had alberts small camera so i'll post as soon as I get them. Then this past Saturday was Bricens 3rd Annual Halloween Costume party for all the little ones. Its so cute to see the costumes the kids wear. Sage was old enough this year to pick out his so he got the ol so cool Batman with big chest as he called it. So funny he was saying batman with big boobies but we changed that around. ha ha .. Marli was a beautiful Fairy Lady bug and boy did it catch everyones eye. She made the perfect little bug. We had a blast and can't wait till next yr. Except I thought abut that and next year Marli will be walking and I will have to keep up with 2 kids. :) This Friday Chris, Yami, Jess, Troy , Payton, Garret, Skylar , Jackie , Albert , Bricen came over to play and have Friday night Pizza it was so much fun. The kids did great. Sage and Bricen are picking up sharing I think, Cause in the past that is why they fight sharing the toys. We didn't have to get on to them one time. So that was very nice. Everyone stayed till 12. So needless to say this Saturday we were very tired but it was fun . You have to enjoy the weekends they go by way to fast. And yes the kids lasted that long. well all but Marli. Today was a lazy day, Church , lunch then nap time yes mommy got a nap.. That never happens .. But with church Sage and Marli went down at the same time. That was nice and I laid on the couch and zzzzzzzzz off I went. Have a Happy Halloween.

Oct 6th. Sage's first soccer game and Jennifer's wedding

The Bride and Groom

Well October 6th was a busy but fun day. Sage and Bricen had their very first soccer game at East View Baptist Church . It was the cutest game ever. They tried to hog all the balls even from other teams and Sage couldn't figure out to slow down. He was moving so fast with excitement that he would miss kicking the ball , falling down and just being so goofy. Sage wanted to but the soccer ball in the basketball goal. well they were playing in the gym so I assume they were slightly confused. After the game we told Jackie , Albert and Bricen bye and headed home for Sage's nap. Gigi and Pop Pop came over around 12:30 and Wes and I headed to Anderson for Jennifer Rogers wedding . It was very pretty and she made a beautiful bride. It was decorated so pretty with White lights , pumpkins, leaves, and Haybails. The wedding was at her parents house on Lake Hartwell in Anderson SC. We had a ball . We had to head home later that night to releave the grandparents that had SAge and Marli.. ha They were sweet though no problems at all.

Now this week I have a lot to do . We are going to GA to ride 4 wheelers and camp out for Jackie my bestfriends b-day. I am excited and nervous. I have never left the kids 2 nights before. 1 night is fine but 2 that is a whole day of not seeing them. So please pray that I can handle it and sit back and have a great adult weekend away with my husband and our bestfriend. I will blog after the trip and I am sure I will have some great pics.

Been a few weeks .. OOpppsss..

I don't even know where to begin. Sorry... Lets see .. Um..

I can't even think about yesterday so trying to remember what all we have done is hard so I'll just post about our last min trip to Tweetsie. Last Sunday we woke up started getting ready for church put our arm out the front door to ck the weather and it was soooo perfect. Wes and I both said at the same time lets take the kids up to Tweetsie for the day cause this might be the last pretty day and our next few weekends are booked with plans. So off we went. I was as excited as the Sage was. ha ha Wes too. We are such kids at heart.. We got there and riding the choo choo was the first thing ..The indians got on board and joked around with Sage , he wasn't sure at first with all the costumes but as soon as he noticed that they were nice he was totally fine with them. Marli just sat and rode the train or rode in her stroller the whole time. I do have to say her being so cute we do stop alot for compliments from lots of people. is that consited of me to say .. ha ha .. I am tickled she is so darn cute .. I could eat her up myself. Sage was all over Wes guess since daddy works so much he could have cared less about me he hung on Wes the whole time. Sage shcoked us by riding the scrambler .. He laughed so hard on it I thought he may even pee in his jockies but he didn't he had me dying laughing ...Sage also got picked to be in a little play pretending he was working on the railroad.. We had a great time and ended the evening by eating at outback.. The place I used to crave when I was prego with both kids. :)

Happy Birthday Miss Jill

Well the birthday party for Miss Jill was a success. Her daughter Jessica and best friend Rose did a fantastic job. With decorations to food. .Yummy... She just wanted simple snap shots and that was fine cause it was so busy that I can't imagine having to make the people pose at a birthday party for long. Her daughter Mary Margaret that lives in Nashville came in as a surprise and I captured that moment when her momma just grabbed and hugged her so tight.. soooo sweet.. They are one big happy family.. I still can't believe I have my dream camera .. Before Wes and I got married about 6 yrs ago he bought me my first digital and little printer and I thought I was hot stuff ... then Jackie got her digital and we were crazy with them .. Then about a year ago Jackie got the canon rebel and of couse I saw how fast it took pics and with Sage being on the run 24/7 I had to have it .. Litterly.. so from the little slow digital camera to now I am very happy..

My favorite Hobby

One of my favorite hobbies is taking pictures. My Daddy's friend Roger is cutting a CD of songs he has written. I was shocked when he asked me to take pictures for him to turn into his producer/studio and see what they thought about these pics being on the front, inside or back of the cd. Roger can sing great but he is really wanting singers to get a hold of his songs mroe than anything. We had a great day doing this. Even if they don't use my pictures cause I don't have a lot of the software that was needed but I was just tickled to take them . It was so much fun and Roger and his girlfriend said if these aren't used you gave us some great photos just to frame. I took 500 but figured I would only put 4 on her for you to see. Today I have to take pictures for a surprise 50th birthday party . My friend Jessica called and asked me and I was tickled again :) yeay.. Nothing I want to take off in but just fun for me. I lightly edit some of them and put them on winkflash and they buy what they want . Jessica is doing her momma a scrap book and wanted me to take the pictures so her mom can get a great gift of this special day. Well that's it for now .. I'll post pics of the bday party later.
