Christmas at Poppy's 2016

We had a wonderful time at Poppy and Teresa's this Christmas. 

Sarah and Cam are seniors. Caden's a junior. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Landon and Sydney!

Happy 17th birthday to my favorite nephew Landon! I love you. Fudruckers is always fun with you. 

And happy 18th to Sydney! We love you! 

I love this picture of these two at Santaland on Sydney's birthday. 

 

 

Thanksgiving 2016

So much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I think we were all definitely thankful for each other and our loving family. I know I was. 

 

We had a delicious family dinner at Mumaw and Paul's with Nana, Pam, and friends. 

Poppy's Thanksgiving was fun. 

The ranch was relaxing as usual. BJ was loved on and the big blue truck was given lots of attention. LOTS. Let's just say Caden may have earned enough hours to become a big rig driver. I think he'd love it too! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween 2016

We had a fun Halloween season this year! Davy and I met some friends. This was my attempt at a Sugar Skull. 

My friends looked awesome! 

Cam and Sydney were perfect as Derrick and Meredith from Gray's anatomy. 

Pumpkin carving skills on point! 

Here's mine--an omage to my old friend Marty. The ending was different here though. The pumpkin lived! Happy tears. 

Cam and Syd taking their very first pumpkin patch pics. Awe. 

Sarah and Ethan as Jim and Pam from The Office. 

Fun family time after church on Halloween Eve. Mumaw and Paul got us all set up. Everyone's pumpkin was made with love and that's all that matters! Ha ha! 

A little Halloween drawing contest between Davy and me. We couldn't get anyone to actually vote. Booooo. 

I love Davy's use of color and light. ;)

Couldn't leave out the sweetest Ornch colored kitty! I'm glad you can't zoom in too much to see the mold and gnats from the rotting pumpkins that the kids left in the yard a week prior to this pic. Good stuff. 

Proof that Caden wasn't sent to boarding school during this time. Not sure why he's not in any of the pictures, but here's one with him and Connor after the volleyball banquet the Saturday before Halloween. 

Happy Halloween!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First Time Voters!

Woo hoo! How awesome that they turned 18 two months before a presidential election?! Proud of you both! 

 

 

Happy 18th Birthday Cameron!!!

Your 18th birthday started a few days early at Mumaw and Paul's. You and Paul shared a cake with a "70" on it for your combined years. :) Happy birthday to Paul and Cam! 

Your 18th fell on a Saturday this year! We got the party started at T-Bone Tom's-80's band and all! Your dad, brother, Alex, Gannama, Sydney, Sarah, Abby, and I were there with you. 

You got another tattoo the next day. Ugh!  But I do like how the two birds represent you and me. ❤️

You celebrated with all your friends on Sunday at a dinner at Maggiano's. 

I love that smile!!! 

My sweet birthday boy. 18 years old. It's been 18 years of blessings that I'm so grateful for. I thank God for you and for choosing me to be your mom. I love you son. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
