Makeover and ROLL TIDE!!!

As you can see, I finally got a new blog makeover!!  Its been a while and I finally asked Krystyn over at Krizzy Designs to do it!!  She is a personal friend of mine from school! (and way before that!)

She did such a great job and I love it!!  Hope you do too!

Please check her out at http://www.krizzydesigns.com/ for blog designs, announcements, or invitations!  Her stuff is AWESOME!!

I had to add these next pictures!!  We have a divided house tonight

Most of my family wants to disown me, but I'm sure they will forgive me soon!  :)

We are all pumped and watching the game!!

I wish it wasnt a school night (I'm sure we will let them stay up a little late though!  no spelling test tomorrow!  lol)

ROOOOOOLLLLLLLL TIIIIIIDDDDDE!!!!

We will see if I can proudly say that tomorrow!  ;)

No pics of me, but here is my shirt!  bwahahahahaha

CHRISTmas Fun!!

We had a wonderful December!!!

We started off with Landons birthday on the 12th (pics coming soon!)

and then celebrated Christmas for the rest!  lol

I played around and came up with some collages to catch up on our Christmas festivites!! (click on the collage to make it larger)

Hope you enjoy!!

We started off at Papa and DeeDees (Landons great grandparents!)

the weekend before Christmas!

Little did they know, they bought him EXACTLY what he wanted for Christmas..

A SKATEBOARD!!

Christmas Eve we went to the candlelight service at church and then headed to Nana and Mimis to spend the night!

Notice the stack of 7 presents all wrapped together (behind Landon)?!?!

Look in the next collage for the yellow boxes to see what my special guy got!!!

Santa also brought him another skateboard! It was the only thing he specifically asked for, so he is super happy to have 2 now! ;)

Yep, ZHU ZHU pets were the hit this year, and my mom and Mimi were on a hunt to find them!  I wasnt going to search the world and pay WAY too much for the people on amazon selling them...but guess who was?!?!

If you dont know what I am talking about then you have either been living under a rock (or dont have a child 4-8 yrs old!  ha)

After waking up and doing presents there, we headed home for Christmas with our "family" Crystal, Skylah, Bryan, Gavin, me and Landon!

(I loved walking by our Christmas cards everyday!!)

SNUGGIES!!

Look closely in Landons lap and you can see that even Ajax got a snuggie too!!  ;)

Then for the GRAND FINALE...

blindfolded and ready to go outside...

Crystal making sure they cant see...

SUPRPRISE...ELECTRIC SCOOTERS!!!

This was totally last minute and something I didnt plan on doing, but hey, its been worth it!  They LOVE them!

Landon even told me later that day that he knew he was a lucky kid!

The next morning we headed to Lafayette for Christmas with Landons other side of the family!!

Landon and his sister got another snuggie, game, ds games, ect, and they loved every bit of it!

Grandpa and Mammy got a Wii Fit and the kids played it NON STOP all weekend!  No joke!

It was a wonderful weekend and such a great way to end our Christmas festivities!

This was yet another season full of friends, family and laughter!

We are so blessed by all of the people who are in our life!

Happy 2010!!!

Family Reunion in Hope, Arkansas!

Its hard to believe our reunion was a month and a half ago!  We had such a wonderful time in Hope and look forward to going back to visit!  Small towns are fun to visit, but I sure could not live there!

Nana and Landon

Landon and his great grandpa..Papa!!

Mom and Papa

Some old pictures from our previous reunion.  The last time I was there was when I was pregnant with Landon!

Lindsey and I

The boys playing football!  Landon felt right at home!  ;)

Aunt Barbara, Aunt Lane and my mom!

Of course we had to visit the Clintons gravesite.  The whole time is cover in Bill Clinton stuff!  lol  My mom actually went to the same day care (years later) as Bill Clinton did!  Oh the things to be proud of!  ha

The family!!! 

I'm smack in the middle and Landon is the 2nd kid from the right!

The Ray side!

(Olivia is right next to Landon in the front!)

My pumpkin!

Crazy monkeys!  Landon, Olivia (in the middle), and our other cousin.

So there you have it! 

Thank you all so much for your sweet messages, comments, phone calls over the last week.  It was such a wonderful feeling to be in Arkansas with my family.

They services were just amazing.  I felt weird saying that about a funeral, but thats not what is was.  They did such a great job making it a celebration of her life!  She was a wonderful little girl that went way too soon, but we all know she is in such a better and more beautiful place.  Olivia has been to more countries, missions, and served her Lord more than many adults I know (including myself)  She had a wonderful 10 years and they portrayed that so great at the services.

There were over 800 people at the service!  They also have friends and family all over the world, so they had it broadcasted on the church website LIVE.  They had over 1,000 people watch it online.  Theres just a little glimpse at how many people loved this little girl and her family!

My aunt, uncle and cousins are so strong in their faith and doing as good as can be expected.  They have a tough road ahead of them, so please continue to keep them in your prayers.

I still have a bunch of posts that are half done to post!  I need to get to work I guess!

Of course that will have to wait until after I meet up with Steph, Rach and Emily for dinner and drinks tonight!!!!  :)
