Helping words to get through life

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did" When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' "

Fall fun, Thanksgiving, a Giant and a blessing

The end of Nov. was great but we were so busy with family and friends! Can't believe it is already Dec. and that Christmas is around the corner and the our sweet little girl will finally be here! We all can't wait for that Paisley tells me almost every day to go to the hospital and pick up her baby sister! Love it....Today she made up a song about mommy going to the hospital in a few weeks and Brezlyn coming out of my tummy and home! So sweet but makes it just a little harder to wait....Keyton sings it with her but don't think he really knows what he is asking for. Just an update on Brezlyn...She is doing great, as of Thurs. she has flipped and dropped so she is getting ready for the big day in a few weeks. Her heart is good and she is still measuring a little big so that is good news for me!!!! Hope she is big and healthy!
Now for the rest of our fun Nov.
This was just a cute pic of the kids eating a snack one afternoon....The big tub they are sitting on is the tub we put Christmas presents in (they don't know that) so it has not made its way out of the house. They sit on it all the time and us it to turn on the kitchen light! So funny...if they only knew what was inside.
Same day...My Parents (aka Nonnie and Poppy) left the kids big wheels here after Paisley's party! This was just a cute pic of them riding /chasing each other outside. Most the time (because of weather) they ride them around the kitchen table and boy are they fast!

(oh here is a pic of what our apt. looks like on the outside...Not ours but they all look just the same!)
So Paisley has gotten into wearing headbands all the time so of course my little boy had to put one on too....so love the hair though!
Paisley's little friend from school had a party at Chuckie Cheese the other day so this was our first time. They loved it and had a blast riding on all the toys and play ski ball! so fun.
On the marry-go-round....they had to do this one like 4 times!


Their first "roller coaster" so funny and it was great they could ride together on this one
Paisley with Chuckie and the b-day girl! It took us forever to get her up there and then it was over! ha oh well she got to pick up a lot of tickets because the other kids only picked up for a few mins. then were back playing...worked out great for herRiding a horse...Paisley loved it and Keyton cried and tried to get off the whole time...silly boy

This is how my kids played...worked for them and us but it was really funny watching them walk back a forth on this. They both played 7 times each!

The Sunday before Thanksgiving we had lunch at Tryon's parents and I tried out these so cute outfits I got for the kids! Love them both and Paisley hates the vest but Keyton loved his. I at least got her to wear it for a little while so that works for now!
Sweet little boy loving on his sisterPaisley being silly as always
Keyton being shy as always!
So this is Keyton, (cat) Twinkle and cuz Mara...sitting in the swing. Keyton wanted to pet a cat so bad so Mara caught one and the sat together for a little bit swinging! Really cute

The kids trying to catch one of the Cats! So funny watching them run after them
Paisley with her Twinkle
So Yeah we put the Tree up before Thanksgiving this year! I had not taken down Halloween so we just skipped Thanksgiving decoration this year! Also the Kids wanted to help me decorate this year so Mommy had to give up some of the control to them so that they would have fun...First the helped me by handing the snow flakes to me and then They did the bottom half and did pretty good, I layed out the ornaments that they could hang with out breaking and they went to town...I was really surprised at how well they spread them out!

Ok so now we are to the Tus. before Thanksgiving....We were all getting ready to go over to a friends house for a family wide play date. I had the kids dressed cute and ready to go. I was getting ready and as always Keyton was following me around. I was about to get on the computer to check an eBay item I was watching when I realized that Paisley was and had been quite a little too long. I decided to go find her to see what she was getting into. I found her in the playroom (on the slide) with a pair of my scrapbook scissors and a big chunk of her bangs gone....Yes cut to the scalp...and her trying to go for some more hair! I got on to her and told her just to go show her daddy!! I was so mad and sad that she had done this, yes I know it is something every girl has to do at some time but I was crying. Tryon got on to her and then I started working on the damage. I pulled her hair down to find out she also had cut 4 in off the back of her hair and so I started cutting away her beautiful hair. She was so embarrassed at the way she looked that she did not even want to go to the play date! We hid it with a headband and she was ok. but Mommy was really sad that we lost so much hair right before Thanksgiving and Christmas pics.
The damage she did! Love the face, this was taken after I showed her what she looked like!
At our fun play date but this is a great After pic to the one before! Her hair was to the middle of her back and now it is just at the shoulders

The girls swinging!!! Paisley and sweet Gracie!
Sweet Gracie being silly
Keyton playing on the slide showing off how big he is to Gracie's Mommy and Daddy

All of us Girls....Wow I am getting way to big with this kid!

Keyton's Turn!!! As soon as the girls were off the swing Keyton was on them!

All of them in the sand box...Poor Keyton, the girls kept trying to bury him in the sand.
Keith (Gracie's Daddy) Chasing the girls around the house and taking a break to get Keyton on the tramp.!! The girls loved it and where laughing so hard! It was so much fun seeing them play so hard together. (they did the same thing with Gracie's brother a few days ago)
Gracie pushing Paisley on the 4 wheeler

Keyton loved their trampoline!!! He played on it most of the time and then with the kitchen because Paisley was not there to push him off of it! Love it
So this play date was a long one ....we got there around 3 and stayed for dinner and left around 8 or so...The kids played so hard that before we got a few blocks away they were both crash in the car!! So sweet and I loved the time we spent with them it was great for us and the kids!

On to Thanksgiving! We had a great Thanksgiving with Tryon's family! Almost all of his sibs were there and it was fun catching up with the reast of the family too. The kids had fun eating a playing in the yard while Daddy played some game with his brother. I took the oppertunity of Poet's (tryon's aunt) beautiful garden to snap a few cute pics of the kids. And yes Paisley is wearing a hat because she did not want anyone to see her hair..so the night before I made this one for Her.
The kids on some rocks...They look so cute in these outfits and Brezlyn has one that goes with it for their first pics together! Can't wait to see how she looks with them.

Keyton loved the rocks....He love climbing and jumping off of them most of the time we were outside

Paisley posing by the tree! Love this one
Keyton jumping off the rocks for meHe kept saying "one, two, and Go...." then he would laugh so hard every time!

just being cute!
They found a patch of dirt next to the house to play in...I thought it made for a cute pic of the two of them

So (back story) Tryon's sister Tahj and her boyfriend have a huge dog named Wallace. He is really sweet but sooooooo big that he could walk right over Keyton's head with no problem. Well the kids wanted to go out side to see him so here are some cute pics of the kids with the giant.
Paisley and Tahj with Wallace...and no he is not jumping up he is just standing there. Paisley does not know what to think of him right now
Tryon desided that Keyton needed to ride him like a horse!Keyton loved the dog and Laughed so hard when he would get kisses..at this point he was not quite ready to get down on the ground with the massive dogs (tryon's cuz. has one to but she is not quite as massive as Wallace)


Well Poor Keyton finally wants to get on the ground with Wallace (after the wild girl dog is put up) and he is standing there when Wallace's tail comes to "attack" him. It gets him about 4 time in the check before I can pick him up. He was so sad but shock at what had happened that he tried not to cry, therefore making the cutest little face just looking at the dog like "why". I was so proud of him for keeping it together but it was really funny too
He is ok and is now making up with the dog. He would go over pat him and then walk away laughing. It was really cuteThe kids with the dog! Poor Paisley kept her distance after she ran from the girl dog (which the dog thought oh lets play) and trampled Paisley! It was sad but only scared Paisley and that is when that dog was put up for a while.
That was our thanksgiving and it was so much fun. I missed my family but was very glad that we had a great time with family here. I hope I don't miss my family too much over Christmas since we are stuck here with the being to prego thing.
Well I am getting really excited to be bring home my little girl in just 6 weeks!!! I can't wait to hold her so I thought I would show everyone the cute take home outfit I got her. It is so cute and I have a cardigan to go with it that was paisley's but is in storage right now..so don't think I am just going to leave her in short sleeves in the middle of winter!
The outfit its self is a dress and pants. The top of the dress has a watermellon on it and the under shirt has little slises of watermellons all around it. The hat is a watermellon and the shoes and socks both have the same slised watermellons on them. The blanket is one side watermellons and the other has really cute ants along the edges some carrying watermellons! Love it so much! I found the hat and blanket at dittos and the found the rest on ebay...how lucky! Can't wait to put her in it Close up of the dress
The cute ants on the blanket!

Ok so just a blessing. My little cusin Candis had her baby on Dec. 2!!! Kennadee is her name and she was over 7 lb and 20 in long. Healthy and after a c-section both mommy and baby are doing great! I don't get to go see her until after Brezlyn make her apperance but can't wait to see the new little one! So glad it was all good but prey she has a fast recovery and everything stays good!
