Wordless Wednesday

Post Game

After the ball game as we were heading out of the stadium the Marching Thunder drum line was performing outside the stadium.

They were fantastic. When we started watching there were two kids already dancing and Grammy suggested that Arden join the other kids dancing. Arden asked me to go with her and I did. After a couple of songs, Arden told me that I could join the crowd and showed me where to stand.

It was hard getting her to leave. It was so much fun.

In the last picture I am standing right behind her...you just can't see me. I didn't leave her side.

Homecoming 2009

This year we decided to travel to our Alma mater Marshall University for the homecoming game. The weather was beautiful, other than losing the game the day was perfect.

Arden loved watching the two Army guys skydive into the stadium. She said they were pirates, which was fitting since we were playing the East Carolina Pirates. She loved the cheerleader's pom poms that sparkled. She would stand up and yell "Go! Go!" when everyone was cheering. She also danced along when the band played. She was obessed with Marco even though she screemed when we went to take his picture. I must agree with her. I am not a fan of the new Marco. Bring the old Marco back.

Since our team isn't doing that great anymore the game was not sold out and we had plenty of room around us. Arden was able to walk around and choose her seat. She had such a great time.

Thomas also enjoyed the game. He slept for all most all of the game either Dave or I was holding him and he was very content.

Grammy also came to the game with us. We all had such a great time.

Here are some great pictures of the day.

Question of the Week

At what age do children learn to sleep in if you've been up late the night before?

The World's Best Big Sister

While I was doing the dishes I look over. I heard Arden saying "This is George, and he is a good monkey and always a little courous."

I look over and saw this:

She pulled up her chair and started reading Courous George to Thomas. He sat very quietly and listened to her. She read to him for about 5 minutes before becoming bored and decided to move on to something else.

Just A Swingin'

This weekend Dave put in the second child seat on our swing set and it has been a huge hit with the kids. Since Thomas is sitting up by himself and Arden loves to swing I can get both of them going at the same time.

As they were swinging I realized how much God has blessed us. I am so lucky to be able to stay home with these two and enjoy them. There are days that are messy and hard but the good times out weigh them. I am so thankful that the LORD provided Dave's job so I can enjoy my kids.

I Scream, You Scream

Thomas has found a new toy that he just loves.

Just wait until he taste the real thing. I think he's going to love ice cream.
