Pay it forward......

Today our hearts our full to be to able to PASS IT FORWARD.... Last year, Steve and I had a pretty hard year and Christmas was not something we even considered doing at all. With the love from SO many "Secret Santa's" or should I say the Lords Angels we were provided gift cards, food baskets with goodies in them and other amazing miracles. We felt the lords love for us and we could see how our friends and family where tools in the Lords hands. We will be forever grateful and it will always be ingrained in our hearts. As this year came around our family was given the opportunity to PAY IT FORWARD and we sponsored a child from Hunter's school. For reasons unknown, there was a family that could not provide Christmas for there family. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to be "Secret Santa's" for this little 7 year old boy. Let me tell ya this, there is going to be one HAPPY BOY on Christmas morning. We so excited for him. We will never know this child but hope that one day it will touch his heart like those that served us touched our. Merry Christmas my friends.

Hunter's school also put together Holiday Baskets for families, Hunter was pretty excited to donate some food towards the baskets. What a great opportunity to teach Hunter about serving others. I love it.

Who Remembers New Kids on the block Christmas Album?

You know you totally listened to this!!!!!  I did!! ha ha

Being creative....

Gordon and Hunter always have such a blast playing together.  They used there creativity  and brought out all the dinosaurs in the house and made a Jungle, on the trampoline.

Well it didn't stop there, then they needed to make a pond for the dinosaurs and they got all muddy.  It was hilarious.  They were covered in mud and loved it.

Awwww boys will be boys... good times for sure.

Elf on the shelf....

 Monday night....

Crap, I totally forgot to move "ELF- (also known at Cha-Chi) last night... Hunter was not o.k. with the fact that Cha-Chi did not report back to Santa last night... 

Better go do some moving around. 

Nighty Night!!

 Tuesday Morning....

Hunter woke up, went to the bathroom and came out sooo excited that the elf moved. 

He said "oh mom he must have got his magic back and he flew to Santa". 

Oh the innocence of a child. I love it!

Thanksgiving 2011

 Our family had a great time with family. We went to Ft. Myers and spent 4 days with the "White" fam.

There was lots of yummy food, hours of giggles, snuggles and gifts galore.

The cousins had a blast playing together inside and out! Steve had a great time chillin with his brothers talking and watching.... oh can you guess... FOOTBALL!!!

Ashlea and I went to shop for "Black Thursday/Friday" ha ha - we headed out at 10pm and didn't come home until 1:30 am.

IT was sooooo crazy!

I'm don't usually get frazzled with crowds but OH MY GOSH... there where so many people in my space..  ( they were WAY to close to me)  .ha ha.

Ashlea cracked me up, she said she could smell the alcohol on them and she was just NOT going to stand in line.

She worked her magic and we got into a line that wasn't so long. Yeah for Ashlea!

We totally scored at Walmart.. I brought all of the other adds and showed them and they totally price matched.

We got Wii games for $10, movies for $10, Wii charger $10 and a huge Transformer for the boys for only 10 bucks.. the real prices would have $60 and $40!

Oh yea ladies and gentleman we SCORED!!

 

Hummmm... The kids where waiting for some action, come on... anybody!?!?

No one walked by, drove by, no other kids... aww man as Henry would say...

 UNTIL.....

  This kid drove by with his tractor.  Oh the kids where in heaven.  They all just watched it. It was priceless to see them.  So funny!

So sweet!  These are Hunter's  and Henry's Auntie's Alisha and Ashlee.

Henry was totally teasing Hagen Matt's Dog... it was hilarious!

Only Florida, you go swimming in November!!  The kids had a blast!

Baby Landon is the star of the show.. he is so stinkin cute.

Adult gift Exchange... lots of gift cards got stolen from each other.

I totally scored the motion activated candy machine...
