Turkey Cupcakes




Whenever the kids are out of school, I try to have fun activities for them to do, so they won't get bored. We made turkey cupcakes one day during the Thanksgiving Holidays with our little friends. They turned out really cute and delicious! The kids had fun, and the mommies had fun visiting!!

Zoo Trip






Mimi Simpson and I decided to take all 6 kids to the zoo before the weather turned cold. I know what you're thinking--crazy, but it was a really great trip for everyone!! The kiddos had so much fun, and all the walking wore them out-haha! I always love going to the zoo, and we can't wait to go back!

Pumpkin Palooza





We spent Halloween weekend in Starkville, and as always, we all had a blast! We went to Pumpkin Palooza Friday night, and it was so wonderful for the kids! They had so much fun, and I cannot wait to do it again next year!! We had 2 super heroes with us, so that made it even better!

Fire Station Field Trip





I went with Riley Kate's class to the Fire Station, and they had a great time! They learned some valuable things and how to call 911, which I hope she doesn't decide to call and chit chat!! I love my little mischievous Riley Kate!!!

MSU Homecoming






We LOVE to tailgate at MSU games, and we are so excited to share that experience with our children! We have quite a few future bulldogs in these pictures!! Every kid already has their own cowbell, even Baby Brantley, and believe me, they know how to ring them-haha!! They have so much fun with all their friends, and we look foward to many more football seasons full of making new memories!

OUR ADDICTION!!

OUR ADDICTION!!
After the birth of Grayton, Jason and I began running and became highly addicted!! I soon made my first jogging stroller purchase, The Tike Tech all terrain single jogger. It was wonderful until I needed another seat for Riley Kate. I got this Dreamer Design off of ebay, and I love it! I call it my freedom and my sanity because I can load up the kids and go running whenever I feel like it! The kids love to stroll. They usually ask to go. We have run several races just for fun--Delta Jubilee 5K, Juke Joint Festival 5K, St. Jude 1/2 Marathon, Double Decker 10K, 300 Oaks 10K, etc. We love to run and if there is a race we can make it to, we'll run it!! We are running about 4 to 5 miles a day now with long runs of 7 to 12 miles on the weekends!

A LITTLE HOBBY OF MINE

A LITTLE HOBBY OF MINE
Since Grayton's 1st birthday, I have ventured out a bit and started baking and creating my kid's birthday cakes each year. Also, I am the homeroom mother for Grayton's class, so I am trying to get creative with my baking. I am not very good at it, but it is so much fun!! If anyone has any new cute ideas, share them with me.
