I guess no news is good news...

Things have been kind of quiet with us lately. That's not saying that we haven't been busy, though! We've had a lot going on... just not much to blog about. I enjoyed a nice quiet weekend. Saturday, I did some major house cleaning. My house was a disaster. I can't remember the last time is was that bad! I stayed in my pajamas pretty much all day. I really needed a day like that. They are just so refreshing! Blaine was gone with Neal for most of the day. Judd and I enjoyed our time together. We have had things going on the past several weekends and this past Saturday and this Saturday are the only two free ones until after new years. Our holiday season is filling up fast. Our weekends are pretty much booked and our week days and nights are running out. We're already having a hard time scheduling our Sunday school Christmas party when everyone can be there. But, that's good. It wouldn't be the Christmas season if we weren't busy! I have started thinking about my Christmas shopping and getting my list together. It seems to grow each year!

We have some fun things coming up. Blaine is really getting excited about youth hunting season starting on Saturday. He and Neal have been target practicing. Blaine is getting to the age to begin to enjoy hunting with Neal. I'm glad that Blaine wants to go with him. It will be good for both of them.

I have a fun little get-a-way coming up with a couple of friends. I can't wait! Monday night is my turn to host bunko. I've been trying to get all of my gifts and decide what to fix. I think I've pretty much gotten everything taken care of.

Judd has a birthday coming up. It's hard to believe that my baby is going to be 2 very soon! I think the terrible two's have already started. He has a mind of his own. He is so sweet, but sometimes he really gives me fits. I just try to keep in mind that this phase will pass by fast... and that I need to enjoy each moment to the fullest.

That's about all of the updates I can think of right now. I'll have more pictures to post soon. Have a great week and and even better weekend!

Wordless Wednesday-My 1st Black Eye

Race Weekend

The crew made it back home yesterday afternoon. I think they were all tired and glad to be home! Neal took a bunch of good pictures. It was hard to pick which ones to post. You can go here to see the rest of them.

Jeff Gordon

Jimmie Johnson

Michael Waltrip
He had one of Earnhardt, Jr, but I guess I forgot to upload it.

Can you tell that Neal likes Jeff Gordon?

Jamie McMurry in victory lane.

Saturday's Truck Race

Trick or Treat...

Blaine and Judd had a lot of fun trick or treaing and got way too much candy! As usual, I didn't get many good pictures...the pirate and horse were just too busy to stand still for a picture

Have you ever seen a sweeter horse?

Blaine and Mimi

Judd had to have his pumpkin in the carseat with him while we were riding. He loves candy!

They got everything from candy to money to clothes to toys. Grandaddy and Jean Jean gave them each a really cute set of clothes, but I don't have pictures yet. I think they also ended up with about $10 each. Blaine has been asking when we can go to Wal-Mart to spend it!

Nana got the boys these very cute buckets filled with candy and toys. They got them a little before trick or treat time and spent along time Saturday afternoon playing with the toys.

Judd REALLY enjoyed the candy!

These toys kept them entertained while I got a few things done!

Pumpkin Carving

We finally found time to carve a pumpkin! We had planned to go to a birthday party Friday night, but the weather was cold and rainy... and Judd didn't need to be out in the night air. So, we found something fun to do anyway!

Although I did most of the work, the boys did help dig out the inside.

Judd didn't make it through the whole process. He called it quits shortly after this picture. He was tired from all of the playing he did with Jean Jean.

Blaine wanted to carve a tractor on the pumpkin, but I managed to talk him into something a little easier...

The finished product!

Blaine had so much fun that he wanted to carve another one. I promised him that we would try to before the weekend was over, but we just didn't get it done!
