Smiles for me.....

This is a post for me really.....


Just lots of ADORABLE video's, pic's, and messages that melt my heart.

To start...we have my little ballerina....(we decided to do a "Fancy Hannah" day, and boy did she LOVE this....I have got to get video of her saying "Ancy An Dayyyyy")





Some VIDEO of her......warning....this girl is so sweet, she'll give you cavities. *chuckles* O.k that was cheesy...but I DID warn you!






Trying to get daddy to wear the crown....note-the determined look on her face.


Next I wanted to post some "stick it" notes my husband made me last night....We decided to name 5 things about each other that made us happy...

Here is what I listed for him:

1.) You are sexy as hell
2.) You are a great dad
3.) You can be soooo sweet and totally throw me for a loop
4.) I love the way you cook
5.) You make me feel cherished.

Here is what he listed for me:
1.)....you are the best most loving wife I could ever ask for, possibly the best mother ever
2.)....you support me whether I am right or wrong, and you know I'm usually wrong
3.)...you work harder to make our family what it is than you should have to
4.)...you make me more and more a better person on a daily basis
5.)...you make me want to be a better person, a better father and a better husband
6.)....your beef stew, curry, spaghetti, chicken and rice, and al l the other wonderful meals you do after a hard days work
7.)....your beautiful smile
8.)....your beautiful eyes when you smile
9.)....the way you complain about your body when I'm as attracted to you today as I was the day I met you, if not more

In all fairness...I did mine in like 3 minutes.....and he took all night! :) But I still love it. I recommend doing this with your loved one...especially if you feel like you've gotten off the "beaten path" *is that how it goes?? hehehe *rolls her eyes*

Next an ADORABLE video of my bug....I grabbed the camera a few seconds late...but managed to get most of it......*sigh* Can I love this boy any more that I already do??? answer: nope.




Next we have the ruggies squealing away in the tub..



Hey.........has anyone seen kaykay?



And this is a video of the Drama Mama when we were out fishing on the boat the other day....what a toot!~



Speaking of fishing......

Yet ANOTHER thing to be thankful for!

Happy Thanksgiving 2007

Before we begin....

I want to give thanks for all the blessings we have recieved. We are so very lucky to have such great family and friends.

It has been a rough couple of months with the move, Brad's new job, getting settled, a few personal issues and just adjusting in general (especially to the weather).

But because of our family and friends they have made this time a little easier for us. So I am VERY THANKFUL for you.

Please take the time today to tell someone you love how much you appreciate them.....you can NEVER say it enough.

Now on to pictures from our turkey day.....

Our 18 pounder!

YUMMY!!! Sweet Potato Pie and Green bean casserole....

Turkey and biscuits anyone??

THIS is what my DH did while mom and I cooked, and prepared.....

And THIS is what Grandpa did....:)

Mashed Potato's anyone??

Grandma getting the platter ready.... (I love the look on her face! lol)

Grandpa doing the honors.....

Almost ready to eat!

The table is set....let's eat~

Mmmmmm...pumpkin Pies....yummy~ (yes I made these)

See what I helped make?

Hungry Maaaaaaaaaan...(before the attack)

"look at this mess"

All in all it was a lovely thanksgiving!! We did miss our family back in Hawaii, and hopefully next year they can plan on joining us!!!!

Hope you had a wonderful day as well. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Thanksgiving!

MISC PICTURES!!

Look at our new walkway!! They did this last week, and it looks SOOO nice. We actually have a driveway and walk now! YAY!!!!

We also have put up a new fence int he backyard, so the kids have a place to play. I'll most some pic's of that soon!

THIS is what my daughters bed looks like in the morning. She collects her stuff after I leave and has to sleep with it. So I leave her with just a pillow, blanket, and her minnie mouse...and it never fails that 15 others items have found their way to the bed. How does this child sleep??

Take care all.....and happy holidays!!
