On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Cade & Ella were baptized at St Mary's Church in Mobile, AL. I have the honor of being Cade's godmother.

Disney on Ice
A few weeks ago, we went to Gulfport, MS to see Disney (Princesses) on Ice.
It was a lot of fun and Jacob & Sophia loved it.
Nonna, Karrie, Sophia, Melynda, Jacob, Addison, & I went to the show.

Earn Cash Back on Ebay Purchases
Okay, I sent out an email regarding this, but nobody has signed up yet.
This isn't a scam, there's no catch.
If you shop online (and I KNOW you do), then you can earn cash back just by signing up with this website. Seriously, go read the "what's the catch" section.
I signed up and earned $1 back on a flight reservation I made that day (with travelocity). It's not a whole lot but it's better to get back some rather than nothing.
There are a lot of great retailers - mainly EBAY!!!
Register by clicking on this link or copying and pasting in your address field.
And everytime you buy, I receive a cash back as well.
Seriously, you have nothing to lose - oh except free money!!

Thanksgiving
We hope everyone had a great thanksgiving.
We are so thankful for our friends and family and especially our 2 wonderful children,
Jacob & Addison
I made a dress for Addison for Thanksgiving day. My first time to applique AND I did it by hand.

Halloween 2007
Yes, I have some catching up to do....
We went to Tony & Leah's house for trick or treating again this year.
Jacob was really excited about going from house to house.
But he didn't want to knock, he just went to the door and tried to open it.
We only went to about 4 houses with him and that was enough.

Fall Festival
Jacob, Addison, Aunt Melynda, & I went to St. Mary's Fall Festival.
It was fun - of course, the only thing Jacob was really interested in was the train. So, we ended up riding that about 20 times.
He also had a lizard painted on his arm and played a few games.
Oh - and Addison slept the entire time, so I didn't even get any pictures of her at the festival.

Pumpkin Patch
We took Jacob & Addison to the pumpkin patch for pictures.
Jacob ran down this big hill into a ditch while we were trying to get Addison positioned - luckily I caught him just in time.
It's really hard to get Jacob to sit still for pictures now, but I tried......
This is the "I'm too sexy for the pumpkins" pose.

Big Boy
Jacob has started pee peeing on the potty.
In the evenings only so far - he's been taking off his diaper on his own and sitting down on his little potty before and after his bath.
He started on the day he turned 20-months old.
We are so excited.
It just started and I don't normally have my camera upstairs, so I don't have any pictures of this BIG event - but I wanted to share the news.

Trip to VA & PA
We drove to PA when Addison was 4 weeks old.
We stayed in PA for a week with Lance's family and then stayed a few days in VA before coming home.
It was the fall Classic (last race of the season), so we had 2 nights of racing.
Jacob loves the races and Addison did very well - sleeping during the racing but would wake in between races.
Here are a few pictures from the races.
Lilly, Jordan, & Addison
Jacob & Booper - Jacob loves Booper!!
Watching the race cars
Brandon in the late model - I'm not good at action & night photos - I couldn't get my settings correct, so I didn't get many pictures of the race car.

Updates
Okay, so I've been away for a while.
A lot has happened.
Addison is now 7 weeks old - time has flown by.
I am returning to work next week - not happy about that.
Our family (Lance, me, Jacob, and Addison) took a road trip to VA & PA.
Although the reason for the travel was not a good one - we enjoyed seeing all of Lance's family and being able to spend that time with everyone.
Mommy (that's me) got a new Go!!
Jacob & Addison are wonderful - I never could have imagined 2 more DIFFERENT but perfect children.
Next post will have pictures.

Lance & Jacob's trip
Lance & Jacob took a 6 day trip to Virginia to visit family 2 weeks ago.
I took some pictures of them leaving that morning (used my mother's camera because mine was dead) but haven't downloaded those pictures yet. I will update with those pictures when I can.
Here is a smilebox made by Mel Galloway of Jacob's trip.
He had so much fun visiting with his cousins - he especially loved Lilly.
Of course - Jacob has a black eye in the pictures!!
