Kevin and his mom cooking Thanksgiving dinner.... right before we drove it down the street to Uncle Bill's house.

Cody wrote a poem and other rhymes...

This is from when we went to California... I just wanted to post a pic of my cute boys!!!









Cody wrote a poem yesterday... goes like this (ps - don't tell him I told, he is shy!!!)

Christmas is here
it's Christmas Day
Today is a special holiday

I get lots of presents
and cookies too.
Christmas, Christmas is passing through.


Just a minute ago he and Chad made up a new rhyme for thumb wars. Goes like this....

4, 3, 2, 1
let's see who has the strongest thumb.

He doesn't like it when I win all the time, so sometimes I don't (if you know what I mean!)

Blogging about Lola!

My incredibly talented friend is doing a 300 post give-a-way!!! You should all go visit her blog here.... http://www.lolaagain.blogspot.com/

Carving a pumpkin....

Cody and his miniature pumpkin

The final result

How much do I love this little boy...

Carter is the cutest little boy... he makes me smile every time I see him. I wish it wasn't just every other weekend. He can say Grandma now and says Thank You a LOT. Cherie got married last Friday, so I guess my hopes of her working things out with Tyson are pretty much dashed. I wish her happiness and luck in her life.

Tyson is going to move up to his moms on Wednesday. He needs to get away from the bad influences around this town. I hope so many things for him from this move, especially since he won't be here for me to watch over him.

If only I knew what I was doing....

I am now a proud owner of a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator website. Anyone can go there, look at the catalog, order anything they want, see what specials are going on, etc. etc. etc. I have seen HUNDREDS (well, it seems like hundreds, anyway) of demonstrator blogs that show pictures of their websites, catalogs, specials, etc. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT ON MY BLOG!!! aaargh.

Good thing I don't have to have a technical mind in order to be creative!!!
