School Thanksgiving Feast

Today was their Thanksgiving feast at school. They had made shirts, placemats, a necklace, and headbands. Here are a few pictures.

Busy weekend November 9

We had a busy weekend. Ranita had to work, so Stacey and I went to take David, Victoria and her niece to McWain Center. We had a great time. (except David in the aquarium area). I am not sure what has made David so full of fear lately, but once we got away from the fish he was happy.

That night we went to see our friends new baby Eva.  Laura's sister was there helping out with the new baby, so we had a little celebration for her birthday.  David and Ethan loved the noise makers.  Then we finished off the evening with a little football.

The next couple of days we were on the road for a funeral, so we took some time to take some pictures while we were out.  I am still learning all the settings on my camera, so we had some little photo shoots.  One day the babies weren't with us (thank you Stacey for keeping them), so Ranita was my model.  The next day we had the babies.  With Ranita we were in Muscle Shoals, and when we had the babies, we stopped off at Cheerokee Rock City and Noccalula Falls.  Victoria was not in to having pictures made at the falls, but other times she was more into it.  I think the favorite thing that we did was find a little train car by the road.  David did not want to leave the train.  He he kept posing and asking me to take pictures of him.

If looks could kill



So this past weekend, Ranita and I both worked, so a pretty uneventful weekend.  Thanks to Hannah and Kara for taking care of David and Victoria for us.  I got home about 30 minutes before Ranita and the kids, so I had a quick little surprise for them.  They have been asking to put up the tree, so I put the ones up in their rooms.  Victoria's was the same tree she had last year and was pink with princess ornaments.  David's was an Alabama tree last year, so I traded out the ornaments for Cars this year.  David was so excited about his tree and he asked for pictures.  Victoria was sleepy and didn't want to have anything to do with her tree or camera.  Here are a few pictures that David wanted.



He had to kiss everyone one of Lightning McQueen and Mater





Learning to use my camera

I have been trying to learn how to use my camera.  Ranita got off work early, so he met me to pick up the kids from school and we went to walk around Aldridge Gardens then ended it with some chips and salsa at Amigos.  It was a nice evening.
