My Parent's Chicken Coop

This past year my parents decided that they wanted to try their hand at raising chickens for the eggs. Well, after deciding which coop plan to go with, my dad set to work building it by hand. It looks awesome, though most people would mistake it for a playhouse if they didn't see the enclosed pen beside it :) The best thing is, we are able to have as many fresh "organic" eggs as we can eat!

Florida Gators Football!

A couple of weeks ago Brian and I were able to go to the Florida / South Carolina football game, and it was so much fun! My parents were able to babysit for us, and Brian's sister let us use a couple of her tickets for the game. I love the atmosphere of a college football game and all the excitement, especially when your team wins! Go Gators!

Thanksgiving

I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone. Every year seems to pass by faster and faster. We were able to spend Thanksgiving Day with both my family and Brians. We went to my parents house in Appling for lunch, and then to Brian's grandmother's house for a late lunch. Needless to say, we all ate way too much...but don't we always do :) And now we get to enjoy leftovers for the next week.

As some of you know, our computer has been on it's last leg for a couple months now. We were trying to get it to last until Thanksgiving so that we could try to find a good deal on a laptop. Thankfully it has not died on us, and Brian was up at our local Walmart at 3:15 in the morning the day after Thanksgiving!!! Even though he was there that early, he was already the 17th person in line. Crazy. They ended up not having enough computers, but Brian was able to work out a deal with the store manager. I was just glad that Brian was willing to go and wait in line with all the crazy people while the kids and I slept in at home :)

By the way, Landon slept for 11 1/2 hours last night!!! I put him to bed around 9:00 and he didn't wake up until 8:30 this morning. Hopefully he will keep up this new schedule. I guess we will see tonight.

It's Been A While

I have really been slacking with this blog lately. Things have been so busy around here. We are finally getting into a good routine with Landon's schedule, so hopefully I will be blogging more soon. I can't believe Thanksgiving is in just a few days! Each year seems to go by faster and faster...and that means I'm getting older and older! My sister is here with us this week, which has been awesome! She is such a big help with the kids, and it is nice to get some girl time in too. My Mimi and cousin are coming today to stay until Thanksgiving to help out too! The Lord has blessed us with awesome family!

Maddie's Funny Quotes

Here are a few of some funny things Maddie has said lately. Enjoy!

"Mommy, your not my best friend anymore, Daddy is. But it's ok, you can be Gavin's best friend!"

"Here's my Bible...it's my truth."

I went out for a run/walk and took Gavin with me in the jogging stroller and left Maddie and Landon with Brian. This is what she told Brian as soon as I left.

"Daddy, I miss mommy already. I need to go exercise with her to lose baby fat."
