We started out at the Mystic Mutts parade and the girls just loved the doggies. It was kinda misty and cold - but we still had fun. Not much loot from that parade. After the parade was over we headed with a group of friends to the local pizza pub to dry off, eat and wait for the Knights of Ecor Rouge Parade. The rain finally let up and it was not to cold - We had a BLAST!! I left the camera in the car so it would not get wet and did not venture back to the car in the dark to get it - so the pics are from this morning. Check out the Sponge Bob slippers! We actually got more "stuffed junk" than ever before!!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160337801384320210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe52HMoSTxkxNFvr7MZ0XuiiTlJDv-1RWBlrmWr3jqA0zs_FT27F0vrVks2cs_XpcpicPht6oYmDLXbNWJsTgqIjC-xKOKc4ULTrtZd8GNNdaUkv7YbV1P5JfAEDIMI05YCsDyVh72HXU/s320/IMG_2909.JPG" border="0" /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160337809974254818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinHFOl6MKG1vsUqRgSok7o_z5TLSqUDNbSgLxBwOYPTwnNRsUuzXvVwR2dNXl3eO1y06FwfqZTZIDIZoLl9O52KKpWga4-kDhl_c6pJEeBoNRwje5Sj41ylu31NsVat010GjWXiZgleUU/s320/IMG_2912.JPG" border="0" /></div><div> </div>Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12110756985347530592noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035604783203423362.post-36443520620933603762008-01-24T19:29:00.000-06:002008-12-10T22:00:38.013-06:00<div align="center">Jameson</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaqtIMRATKFcWR14gBs5ABk8ib0KFCw6kG2YeMUL4Qa7esDQiawTQzxYeeGZSXLy2T4j7M8aTCzTmiGdgjBnWDMlMUMCGR5HBAyP1wNIpBa0tb91jmeweOSKWAlHLuNreSMbYHqOW7IjU/s1600-h/IMG_2904.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160334812087082178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaqtIMRATKFcWR14gBs5ABk8ib0KFCw6kG2YeMUL4Qa7esDQiawTQzxYeeGZSXLy2T4j7M8aTCzTmiGdgjBnWDMlMUMCGR5HBAyP1wNIpBa0tb91jmeweOSKWAlHLuNreSMbYHqOW7IjU/s320/IMG_2904.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12110756985347530592noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035604783203423362.post-88795098935756768782008-01-23T19:23:00.000-06:002008-12-10T22:00:38.122-06:00Book Fun<div align="center">I was cleaning the kitchen only to discover that the girls had taken </div><div align="center">out all the books from their 4 book boxes!

The girls were not too excited about the sandwiches so they had "white" spaghetti. The girls and I baked him a birthday cake - he does not really like cake - and we sang Happy Birthday and that was about it!<br />As you can see from the pictures - the girls still have on their pj's (as well as a stocking cap) It was a pretty LAZY day.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152154895246486850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEGjvuvy6Gok27caDwTQE287JVsyPmDonZDJ_kKLacf0dK5-48rp8PuZSFzYrKZsIYoOvgyjwnPjWwogpPJBPxlyuMscJaQ2oKnAR8cONhVWqpVPhF1lHbgMWg-pDgYsbvWKKupa9MQtA/s320/Daddy's+Birthday+Cake.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152154899541454162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5O3I2mx1dsCU0XEJmdjKVzoZI6Z2e-PibIkDxrmWKYLc_Na_N9CwPjHocfhwwnHZ4fdXxN2pb4zgCiakj0k_YyCjFgS7Kc2AH-mZ55YDGYHXAEfe-KYe63OUV8qloNkJF3gI64SgK_Qs/s320/Birthday+Crew.JPG" border="0" />Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12110756985347530592noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035604783203423362.post-55472556516230590032008-01-01T18:02:00.000-06:002008-12-10T22:00:42.881-06:00Gibbs House<div align="left">We decided to go to my sisters house in Hernando for the rest of the holiday. We had planned on leaving Friday the 28th - but Jameson decided her runny nose and watery eyes needed to turn into an ear infection on Thursday night - NO SLEEP!! I hurried around Friday morning to find a doctor to work her in - not easy when you are from out of town. We found one and indeed she did have an ear infection. By the time we got the medicine filled, visited with Granny and Granddaddy one last time - it was too late to start to Hernando. So we left on Saturday.<br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="left">It was a truly LAZY visit - Not sure we even dressed the girls while we were there - They stayed in their pj's the whole trip. The girls had lots of fun with Callaway, Breland and Burkely Ann. They took bubble baths, played dress-up, made shrinky dinks, watched fireworks on New Year's Eve(from inside) and lots of just PLAY. We did not even make it until midnight for the New Year.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left">We headed out on New Year's Day and arrived back home late Tuesday afternoon.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Happy New Year!!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Here are few pictures from the trip.</div><div align="center"></div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152150235206970674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDGdfxl0Y4x6Nm2HvJ-Y_He5R7h8CxDcGukmmfwX533YjI1h1BbM5p67V-0ajA6mk_vmCd28r2LkkQWXIyTq9x649eidp2FVfLUOoRGd0z0kami5r6B6Zq4ATEMfY1oxS3GzXtOGAtx9o/s320/Burkley+12-30-2007.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center">Burkley Ann</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152150213732134162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcNvqTNHhR1RWaJ3tS86assV2xVVBpmBTd5hqwBfin4zaVDgYmZBb3tHhZflg7w1wyv4jPaOr3WX2LwBei1RuYVEJGrVb35wQ_nzBZbc5XdmwEQuCfXjCYCFH1vNMTYxVRxhpoPNs5LCc/s320/DaDa's+Girls+12-30-2007.JPG" border="0" /> Callaway, Bentley, Breland and Jameson<br /></p><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152150230912003362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhikGKbKA20L_PY2PthywKndT_NkatOH3946NrmQlkAc6qNFCFzeEFw5tL1Z600_zP5k5X1WikfXc36USL_jRgtTL4LLqWbt0NlhzQED8D53KdN3O5sUnjGEOVFe9OvWA3GzHZY3KYFgX4/s320/Jail+Birds+12-30-2007.JPG" border="0" /> <div align="center">Bentley, Jameson, Breland, and Callaway - JailBirds</div>Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12110756985347530592noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035604783203423362.post-47351924326294510832007-12-26T17:28:00.000-06:002008-12-10T22:00:44.233-06:00Snowman Party 2007<div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152140936602774642" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgVDFV8RC310vDyWoXtdHpK-JkO99ZuY6KFqtYVVqxkORxgmITzFADzx99561jUzJBgULE0mbQgokiTHVGUJRAC7VTp4aeBjcr7VCrcszNTytFIvZ6fhKaJCBI_ayONEhswTDz26YYzH4/s320/IMG_2685.JPG" border="0" />We have decided that since we have a "new round" of little people in the family, we will have a party for them on the 26th every year.

This is the first year that Bentley really has gotten the big picture. Jameson just has followed along, but I do think she kinda understood. When they woke up Bentley went to the window and said that he was not here and then opened the bedroom door, looked out and said he was not there either. I think maybe she thought Santa was gonna hang around for her to see the gifts!

In the past we have always gone to my parents, but as the girls get older I want Santa to come to our house. On Christmas Eve we dressed in our christmas pj's and the girls got to open 2 gifts from mommy and daddy. They both got a pretend princess hair-styling kit (complete with a noisy hairdryer) and one big Barbie head to style. They LOVED it. They love to do each others hair as well as the baby dolls. They also got a stuffed kitty grooming set and a stuffed dog vet set. Each animal came with its own kennel.

They got here on the 18th and stayed until the 21st. On Tuesday night Me, NaNa, DaDa, Bentley and Jameson went to see the Artic Lights. The girls loved it. We rode a train to the "North Pole" and along the way we saw lots of lights and all kind of lighted figures (santa, reindeer, Baby Jesus, snowmen, etc.) At the "North Pole" the girls got to go into a big gingerbread house and visit with Santa - only one other group was on our train so they got to spend a good bit of time with him. They both went right up and jumped in his lap. We got back on the train and headed back to the station and the girls had hot cocoa and cookies.<br /><br /><div>Here are a few other pics from the night out with NaNa and DaDa!</div><div> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151778961054034882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGTIPS_tbomMHpmXAI-FNblAqobBJss6zxv6OPD0TnbwDHeZX6n4CVn_VZ5T5zfDKkjwP7KTJXuZL_axdCNJqKTNU37xuW_IQMYV3NeV1AL5GjqiyGpvGdYKuUp8QuKS0m88q4b0W9lHk/s320/IMG_2571.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151778956759067570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieSi2xi1fAjjRVIKIWDbRX8m_eXsyhZyc8NCQChMYwT535Ji6MS5gbZI8WE8y2LdA4BdESJQ4mDfHYOEx54z4vWw6WCNWdsR04shDkUii9q4Czy0PObqqSN_xNXk9z9Ef5tB-9iRj4sRA/s320/IMG_2566.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151778943874165650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsZ1muM3DzAe39YCGJDrm7zWTYPxtvf_8haRdgXQ7Dxo_udYTTEumIsYDX6AcDaHd15OQ1nPw-MWvQCUoWw8ZQ0bcmzkEh6IcUYytguTDp9qj0tjr-CtlDFrQs_CU8KJONKkv_deboMOw/s320/IMG_2561.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151778948169132962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz4mKGxMSyM1XJTKTpVGFEQC9upBH5kjk6HyvoUZmLz3Wy7IkdHJrGTxnVmYMgvKKqsvG4oKXFpKKvcA89oKgFie_aXpl6eERCqYYDaavTr1O6wWJYg17riJzFL58Mq2WaQBhved-K4lk/s320/IMG_2558.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12110756985347530592noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035604783203423362.post-30557379680390180172007-12-11T20:00:00.000-06:002008-12-10T22:00:47.822-06:00Christmas Parade 2007<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZDu6ls1EeLdTgtVb-jKN_gDIOOrKZkAeUeQV5rhW4FzywI_htWjnGgyVdTFGyinL0QuPJuoygzUT-e1n3LfTmoG7jmR63gwC_MQIBKO109kCFptRLb1_Px2dDC-L9GD_DyCCR3IQURBg/s1600-h/IMG_2395.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142904581711856114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZDu6ls1EeLdTgtVb-jKN_gDIOOrKZkAeUeQV5rhW4FzywI_htWjnGgyVdTFGyinL0QuPJuoygzUT-e1n3LfTmoG7jmR63gwC_MQIBKO109kCFptRLb1_Px2dDC-L9GD_DyCCR3IQURBg/s200/IMG_2395.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Friday night was the Christmas Parade and the girls had a blast!!

Weather is getting much cooler and has been really rainy the last few days. The girls are really getting ready for Christmas. We started decorating - but do not have the tree up yet. The rain changed our plans of going to get it on Sunday - so hopefully later this week.<br /><br />We went to see Santa on Sunday and mommy did not have to get in the picture this year - we are making progress. I did however sit by Santa for about 10 minutes until Jameson decided it was ok for me to move. Whoever thought that "wild woman" would be scared of Santa.
