Sorry to Skip to Chirstmas

I just wanted to say. No, I'm not listening to The River nor do I have any Christmas things out yet, but I wanted to change my blog. I am also lazy and decided to go ahead and go with Christmas so I don't have to change it for awhile. Also, speaking of Christmas, I need all the true bakers to tell me what kind of mixer I should get this year. All I ever owned is hand mixer so I am excited that Santa thought I should get a good mixer this year. So, I want to hear from you , especially if you have a brand like Bosh or Kitchen-Aid.

November At Glance

After many things preventing our camp out with the George's this year. We finally decided it was a great idea to camp out in their backyard instead. No neighbors complained about our fire in the backyard so camping we went! I think I can all say we all had a good time and slept very little.
Here are the kids in the PJ's having fun in the dark


The next thing we tackled this month was Daddy completing the first part of 4 of the CPA exam. After he got done we spent the day at the Memphis Bontical Gardens. Here are two cute birds we found.
Two cute worms
Two cute swingers and one Smart daddy. We won't find out the results of the first test till Christmas. So guess you'll have to wait till then to hear if he passed. Until then, we will start planning for Thanksgiving and more importantly see NEW MOON. We might even start thinking about the fact that we are having a baby and work on her room.... but that seems too far into the future right now. All right George's and Sparkmans... Can't wait for next years campout!

Reasons I love Having Girls

1. Princess costumes at Halloween. Claire is Alice in Wonderland not Cinderella! Come on people!

2. Barbie Cakes- This was super easy! Annie was super happy about the way it turned out! I may not be the best at this.. but I make the most mess for sure! Annie turned 3 on October 26! Happy Birthday sweet girl!

3. Adorable Ballet poses. In these photos they are showing you a tondu ( to point) and a pile (pronouced plea ah to bend). We love taking lessons with Miss Starla!

Stats 2009

Okay because I know you REALLY wanted to know this:

Claire weight: 27 and 3/4 pounds (3rd percentile)
Height: 3'foot 2

Annie weight: 26 pounds (35th percentile)
Height: 3 feet

Dr. Chris said Claire is the size of an average 3 year old... wow... I guess she'll be in a real carseat forever. The rule is 4 feet tall, age 4, and 40 pounds. At this rate of growth she'll be in carseat goin going the 1st grade!! O well!! Clarie has begun to realize she's smaller than all her friends at school and this is a hard fact. I never remember having to hard of time with it growing up .. I always thought being small is what made me different than everyone. Guess thats hard for a 4 year old to see.. O well, next time you see her tell what a big girl she is!

IT's a...........

GIRL! Yea. I think almost everyone who reads my blog is also my facebook friend but in case you didnt know! Jed is NOT disappointed! How could we be! We are so blessed to get another person in our family! I'm happy to get all the clothes out of the attic and re use it all! Now can someone please tell March to not take too long to get here....

Disney Cruise Part 2

Minnie Mouse ( Pirate)


Our little room

Disney's Private Island

Nassau Bahamas
Inside the Atlantis Hotel on the Bahamas
Okay I would love to explain in detail every little thing but honestly, it seems like I am running out of time (as always). Overall, the cruise was amazing. I was little nervous the first day, feeling a little trapped, but after I let myself relax I ended up having a great time. It always seems like you enjoy things more after they are over doesn't it? Its the very frustrating thing about being a person I think! Anyways, I think when I go on another cruise I will spring for a window in my room. Just so so I can know if its morning or not! We got some better pictures of the characters with the professional camera so don't worry our kids don't have the crazy eyes in all the pictures.

Disney Cruise

Our amazing trip started with a two day drive to Orlando. We left on Friday at 12 and got to Atlanta around 10. I started to get a little worried when our first stop was Desoto Co. but things seemed to get better after we hit Tupelo. People who live around here will now about 3 weeks ago it rained everday for like a week and it did not let up to get us to our hotel. The next day, we left Atl around 9 and arrived in sunny Orlando about 5. Thanks to Catherine we found a great deal on a hotel across the street from Downtown Disney. Here's a pictures of us enjoying Downtwon Disney.


Sunday morning we reached the ship terminal. Now, going on during this time Annie had been expierencing some diaherra. She had been fine all day Saturday but got sick minutes before we go on the boat. But I said forget it. We made it this far, we aren't stopping now. Later that night when she started running a fever I thought maybe we had a made a mistake. Needless to say many prayers were said that day. None the less, Here is us with Mickey Mouse. As you can see Claire (or can't see) she really likes when strangers take her picture. So , most of our family photos with characters involve the back of her head. There are more pictures to come. I just didnt feel like uploading them all. So stay tuned for part two....
