Turkey and Tree's

So Thanksgiving has come and gone..and I completely forgot to take any pictures. I asked my niece Jordan to send me the ones she had taken but haven't gotten them yet. It was nice though...and when I get those pictures I will elaborate! :)

While we were on the way to dinner Conwey asked everyone to name 5 things they are Thankful for...Coop made me a bit teary when one of his was how thankful he was for me and everything I do for the family...they do appreciate it! Woo Hoo!

I'm gonna do a quick few things I am grateful for...No particular order..and nothing too serious because we all know the true things we are truly grateful for.

Conwey's sister Jayne and her family stayed with us for the weekend and Sienna was in HEAVEN having her cousins all weekend long.

Jayne and I got a morning of shopping in at Luckette's..which is the coolest antique store ever, and we hit the outlets for a bit too. We love having them here.

Then later that day we went to get our Tree and I am sure I have written every single year about how Conwey is the only one that wants to go cut the tree down...this year it was a bit chilly out so we all decided we would find a tree super quick and get outta there fast. We pulled up and actually saw the perfect tree! We said that's the one...and Conwey said hmmmm lets look around...to which he got a lot of moans...but he soon realized it really was the one and we weren't pulling one over on him.

Sienna thought this one would be perfect!

Conwey has to study it to make sure it is full enough...I am actually wondering how it is going to fit in the house!

Jackson pulled, dragged Sienna around and for some crazy reason she loved it.....

Not sure what prompted this attack but Hunter never learns...Conwey always catches him somehow.

And look like Father like Son...

awwwwww.....

Not sure what I did to deserve this though...apparently I didn't saw the tree for long enough...

So was getting pushed back down every time I tried to stand up...Conwey thinks he's so funny...Ha! And to make it worse they took pictures!

So it was nice and quick..and then we headed out for hot chocolate...peppermint hot chocolate! Yum!

Colors and Mom

So everyday I drive around and can't believe how beautiful all the tree's are. The colors are so bright!

Yellow, orange, and my favorite red...I look at this tree everyday and I just had to snap a picture because before I know it those leaves will fall...

Fall in Virginia is pretty amazing!

I was thinking about my mom the other day (November 15 to be exact... can't believe she's been gone 6 years) and going back through some of my memories of her.

I just kept remembering when I was little we were driving around and my mom just couldn't believe how beautiful all the leaves were.

She pulled over on the side of the road and we all got out and walked around...we were jumping in the leaves and she had us all stop and soak in the gorgeous fall day and the wonderful colors. I am very grateful for that memory of my little mom. I hope I can pass it on to my kids...

I miss my mom!

Vince...

So I LOVE Vince Vaughn...really really love him. Not in a attractive sort of way I just find him to be the absolute funniest person EVER. He can really just be sitting there and it makes me laugh. Conwey thinks he is pretty much as funny as I do so we love to watch his movies.

Last night we had tickets to go see him live with Kevin James...I mean how can you go wrong with that duo?

It was sooooo much fun. It was in DC and we went to eat before with some great friends.

They had 3 other comics there and they were really funny. I forgot how much I love to laugh that hard...tears streaming....

I am so sad I forgot to take any pictures...it was such a fun night though.

Looking forward to their new movie...hoping it's as good as it should be!

Halloween 2010

Halloween...I love Halloween. Sienna loves Halloween too...she made a pretty cute witch. (after about 3 other costumes)

I really couldn't believe it when Jackson wanted to be a banana this year! Usually he likes the blood and gore....Little bugger still on the no smiling kick though...

Jackson and his BFF Grant..who was a hamster...

Sienna did not like the Guts....and thought it was weird that we kept calling it Guts....

She got every last pumpkin seed because I am crazy for roasting the pumpkin seeds! We love them!

Everyone hard at work...

Except Hunter.....

Then they all gave up...

and started doing this....

But Conwey and I finished them up...mine is the one you can't tell what it is! Ha!

Baby Hudson came up to go trick or treating with us...Rachel and Jimmy came too....we had chili and cornbread and wayyyyy too much candy!

Sienna and her cute lil pumpkin..

And for some reason Conwey thought she should have blood....doesn't he know this is our only girl...and he has 3 boys???

After trick or treating the boys talked me into watching not one but TWO scary movies with them...We were up till 2:00 am....I am too old to go to bed at 2 am! Luckily we had no school Monday or Tuesday...woooooo hoooooo. I love it when there's no school! Sleeping in...not having to make lunches. Such a nice treat!

So all in all it was a pretty good Halloween...and I can't believe it's over....now I have to go take everything down...just to put up the Christmas stuff in 4 more weeks...ahhhhhhhhhhhh............
