Our Thanksgiving

While living in Texas my brother and sister-in-law made a fried turkey for Thanksgiving, it tasted spectacular and Anthony has requested a fried turkey every year since. This year I gave in to the peer pressure and let Anthony live his dream.

Anthony was happier about this turkey then Parker will be Christmas morning. Here he is injecting Duffs sauce into the turkey.

Here is the finished product, it tasted great. We ate our Thanksgiving feast with a couple of our good friends. The food was wonderful, and so was the company.

We stuck to our tradition and went shopping on black Friday to get us in the Christmas spirit. The tree is up and the lights are up outside. We are ready for Christmas.

Walking, and Parkers wish

McKenzie has decided walking is much better than crawling, so it is official she can walk at 11 months of age.

Kenzie has discovered her mouth can double as an extra hand when she needs one. Now that she has found out this little secret, she can carry 3 toys at a time instead of just 2.Parker's new favorite thing is Wendy's Junior Frosty's.
On a side note, for Christmas Parker has decided he wants Santa. I already got his presents, so mom or Lisa I pass that gift on to one of you to give. I know that grandmas can do anything, so I think this will be an easy request for one of you to do. Good luck with that :)

Cheap Date

Movie Rental $1.09

Ice Cream at Wendy's $2.

Using a gas pump that didn't work properly and getting 10 gallons of gas for free, priceless.

(Just so you know Anthony went in and told the guy at the gas station the pump was broken. The guy didn't seem to care and told Anthony there was nothing he could do about it.)

It Snowed

Their wasn't enough snow for a snowman so Parker settled for a small snow ball that doubled as a chair.

Poor Kenzie is walking, but not really so she got stuck sitting in the stroller and supervised the snow fun.

3 on 3 followed by a game of Wii

Saturday Anthony and 3 of his friends from school joined a 3 on 3 tournament.

Team Scrub's #1 fan.Then that night our whole family got invited to a man party. I have never been to a man party before, it was a whole new experience. I quite enjoyed myself we had some great pizza, wings and playing some Wii all with some great company.

10 Steps

McKenzie is 10 months old and can take 10 steps before she falls down. She is getting real close to walking, of course she only takes a couple steps when the camera is rolling but when it is off she does much better.

It is finally here

I had a great birthday this year. My day started with breakfast in bed, Buffalo Wings for lunch and ended with a party at my house with lots of my wonderful friends(It also included cards, and phone calls from my friends and family who live forever away thanks so much to everyone for making me feel so loved). For my birthday Anthony surprised me with a Cricut Expression I hadn't heard of one before but it came in the mail the other day and I got to try it out. It just looks like a printer for a computer, but is actually a cool machine that cuts anything I want into whatever shape I tell it to. Here is my first creation. My machine cut the card, envelope and letters. All I had to do was glue the letters "thanks" on the card. I love it.

Since school started Anthony has spent every Saturday at the school, but is protesting today, and spending time with me and the kids, or maybe the computer and T.V.

Playing in the cupboard

Kenzie is still getting into everything,

she has even recruited a friend to accompany her in her mischief. Double the fun for them makes double the mess for me.

It was warm enough we got to play outside today, Kenzie loved it. Here she is modeling the dirt in our yard. She likes to fill her mouth full of dirt, chew it until it is just the right consistency, then wipe it all over everything.

We turned 54 yesterday.

Me and my twin had a birthday yesterday so we had a Party to celebrate. I think we look good for being 54 years old.(Our ages added together is 54.)

Here is the family photo:

Me and Kenzie are Harley chicks
Parker a knight, Anthony Napoleon Dynamite

Jessee was nice enough to make me and Abby our cakes. It was the best looking cake I have ever had.
