Aaron Got a Deer

An 8 point buck to be exact! Yay for Aaron!!! (This picture was taken on his cell phone while he was still out there...so that's why the quality isn't awesome...but I think you can get the point.)

Gobble Wobble Completed!

Here are the kids and me after I ran. It was fun! I finished in 37 minutes. (Aaron keeps telling people 35...he's so sweet!) There were a bunch of people there! (I tried to count...I'm thinking between 100 and 150) I pray the mission made a lot of money so they can better serve the community!

Gobble Wobble

The annual Gobble Wobble run is THIS Saturday, November 29, here in Longview. It is a 5k or 10k walk/run/wobble benefiting the New Gate Mission. The run is free, but donations are accepted. I just want to encourage everyone in East Texas to come out and wobble with me. Registration is at 8:30 am and the race begins at 9am. It is at the Cargill Long Park Trail on 4th Street. I think it is a fun way to help out our community, and get out and get some exercise!
If you want more info you can go to the New Gate Mission website www.newgatemission.org
Hope to see some of you there!!!
(Also if anyone would like to sponsor me I would love it! I will be running the 5k and a donation of a dollar a kilometer can go a long way! It says on the New Gate website that $1300 can feed 1000 people lunch for a MONTH!!! Wow!)

Yikes! It's been a month

It's been a while, but nothing really has been going on. We made it through Halloween (we had a princess and a power ranger). The kids are loving school and are so crazy and silly. They are very creative, and I love being around them (good thing, I guess). Thanksgiving is almost here. Since I am the music teacher at school I taught all the kids a thanksgiving song. So here it is for those parents who don't know the words and your kids are "singing it" or if you want to teach it to your kids to sing for Grandma or Aunt Jenny or whoever you are enjoying the holidays with.

Tune - "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
Sweet Potatoes, Deviled Eggs
Buttered Rolls, and Turkey Legs
Carrot Cake, and Pumpkin Pie
It's Thanksgiving, My Oh My
Sweet Potatoes, Deviled Eggs
Buttered Rolls, and Turkey Legs

Now here are some recent (as in the past month) pictures.
Our kids LOVE tattoos! They are HILARIOUS! They think they are so cool when they get these pictures on their skin.

Breakfast with Santa. We went up to the mall and waited in our Jammies (ok, not me, but the kids were in their Jammies) for Santa to arrive. (He came on a fire truck.) It was crowded and wild, but totally worth the $5 per kid. (Obviously the kids were not too into taking pictures.)

Here is Aaron with his long hair. It has since been cut, but my boss saw him and called him Wooley Booley. I liked it long, but with so many people giving him a hard time he has since gone to the beauty shop and gotten a hair cut. (Oh, and ignore the TT behind him, there was an aggie sign there too, but it just didn't make it in the picture.)

The kids on Halloween before Trick or Treating. We all had a good time.

Ok, that's all for now. Nothing too exciting. I do hope that everyone has a safe and happy thanksgiving, and that you all stuff your faces to the MAX!!!
