So the Little Gym is moving and getting rid of a ton of their perfectly good mats and other types of equipment. Brad went there yesterday and bought a ton of it. Mats that cost $500, Brad got for $20! When Brad gets home from work today, he is turning our garage into our own little gym! It took about 6 trips in the suburban to get it all home. Alex is going to help him. Its going to be so cool...everyone is excited.

I am going with Kathy today to sell candles while they are working on the garage. So excited..I am glad it will be a nice day. I hope we sell a ton! They smell so good.

Alex started his new job today at Little Caesars. Let's hope he does not "forget" to go to work one day and that he keeps this job. I think he will do fine..he was pretty upset to lose the Pizza Hut job and knows how hard it is to find a job. He still needs $700 to buy Brad's old car and he wants to get a paint job done on it and a new stereo. They are going to give him a lot of hours, but it gives him something to do so I am glad. I do feel bad for him closing at 11:00 and then having to be at school at 7:30, but he stays up late anyway, might as well be making money.

I will post some pictures of the garage when they are finished..it is going to be amazing!

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a great Thanksgiving today has been! We all went to Brad's cousin's farmhouse they built literally themselves in the country. It was so much fun. We rode on 4-whee lers and Noah rode on this little tractor...I was so scared and my throat still hurts from screaming! Brad thought it was funny. Alex was a little annoyed by me that I was so nervous he would get hurt..but he is still my baby..whether he is 17 or not! After we ate the kids fished and Cameron caught 3! He loved fishing. Brad caught 1, but it was only an inch long. We had a great time and now we are all exhausted..well, except Alex who is mad that we are making him stay home tonight, but oh, well! It was a great day, now we are going to watch a movie and hopefully Noah will be tired soon so I can go to sleep!

Sorry, but this is my time to brag!

Today Noah started his new class at the little gym..I was concerned with him being 1 year younger that he would struggle to keep up. Well, guess what? HE WAS AMAZING AND THE BEST IN THE CLASS AGAIN! Isn't that crazy?! He just loves it so much and is so proud of himself! The teacher, Mr. Travis, was amazed by him and our old teacher walked in and they were off to the side discussing how amazing Noah is! YAY!

Noah Rocks!

Today they promoted Noah to the next age level at The Little Gym because he is so advanced! YAY, NOAH! Daddy was very proud and so was Noah..he kept saying, I'm a BigBeast now! Wow!

The other day OJ and Amber came to the car before Cameron and OJ said to Amber, "should we tell her?" Amber looks at me and says, "I asked Cameron out. And he said yes". So now Cameron has a girlfriend. Is that not the cutest thing in the world! Although I don't know what the difference is really in just being friends because they don't kiss or even hold hands!

I am so excited that it is almost Thanksgiving time and Christmas! I am going shopping today with Brad's mom and I already have Alex and Cameron's. I can't wait to put up the tree! Is this level of excitement normal? Oh, well...probably not, but I have never been normal anyway!

Marcella got groomed on Friday and got all that summer undercoat and now she looks so beautiful! I am going to groom her more often..she gets the worst undercoat and the other 2 shelties don't for some reason. Here is a pic of her after her spa treatment! I'm sure she would probably refer to it as torture treatment though! Poor cella!

Cameron is so happy this year..he just keeps making more and more friends. His newest friend that comes around is Amber..yes, a girl! They are "just friends" though..she is really sweet and reminds me of myself at that age a little. She is really silly and full of energy and very sweet. Here is a picture of her falling over in Noah's car!




Today while Nana and I shop Brad is taking Noah and Alex to the skate park in Lewisville. Alex is really good, but I worry all the time he is going to get hurt. You should see some of the things he can do on a skateboard..it terrifies me! It is very impressive though.

Yesterday Brad and I took Noah to Granny and Papa's house while we went to see The Fourth Kind. I thought is was really good. Brad thought it was stupid..but he never likes any movies it seems except Shawshank Redemption..which he has seen over and over..I mean, it is a great movie, but not the only great movie! Noah had fun seeing his grandmother and papa, finally he got to see Papa! He was so happy..He always thinks pictures of Santa Claus are my dad (who looks nothing like Santa Claus) and he says that Jesus lives in the sky and Papa lives in his heart! So I guess my dad is on the level of Santa and Jesus! Kids always loves my dad..funny because I bet the whole time he was over there my dad never got out of his chair! When we got home Cameron and Brad wrestled..and Noah got in there too! Its so cute, but I think i ruin the fun because I always worry they are getting too rough.

Noah's new thing is, if he says he's sorry its okay to do just about anything. The other day I was paying bills at the kitchen table while Noah colored and he says very sweetly, "I'm sorry Mama." I kept looking at what I was doing and said, "why are you sorry?" and he says, "this". He was looking at me with the sweetest smile on his face and coloring on the table! A similar situation happened with Brad involving Noah going to the other living room and spilling juice! He keeps us on our toes for sure!

Alex's Homecoming

Alex and Bre had their homecoming. They had so much fun. They went to the game on Friday and the dance on Sat. Before the dance, Alex took Bre to Saltgrass for dinner. Isn't Alex's garter cute! Bre had a mum, too..but she only wore hers to school not to the game. Aren't they a cute little couple!
