Happy Thanksgiving!!!

So I hosted my first Thanksgiving this year! It turned out great! I had my parents, my brother, Derrek and his family, and my little brother Dallon there. We made everything from scratch or fresh, and everything was YUM-O! The only bad part is that we were not all together. I am very GRATEFUL for my dear family. They really are the best. Love you guys!

Miss Alora's first Thanksgiving!

Rich carving his first turkey. (How does this thing work? scowl.)

Richie's a GREEN belt!

If you know us at all, you know that we do A LOT of karate around here. Richie has been in for about a year and a half, and goes up to 4 days a week. He has worked really hard and just earned his green belt. He has gone from a white belt, to a yellow, orange, blue, purple and now green.

We are very proud of him!!!

Thank You VETERANS!!!

The first grade class at Syracuse Arts Academy put on a Veterans Day program. They did a great job!! Richie was one of the students selected to be an announcer. They sang patriotic songs, had a slide show, and made a flag for each vet that came. Way to go Richie! THANK YOU to all of the men and woman who sacraifice so much for our families and our great country!! And a special shout of thanks and hugs to Grandpa (Rowland), Uncle Derrek, Poppie (Rick), and Nana (Debra)!!! You're the best!!!

Each child shook the hand of each vet that came.

(Carter was a pill during the performance, but how can ya not love that face?!?)

Alora, the Diva

All my life, I just wanted to have babies. Just to be a Mom. I had every doll there was and I was always a girly-girl. Putting bows in their hair, and even my little brothers hair. Now that I am a Mommy and have my GIRL, it really IS all that it's cracked up to be...plus some!

And I just had to post this, because I think Alora is so dang cute in her big ol' high chair. She started cereal 2 weeks ago, and absolutely LOVES it!

Photo Tag

So this tag is from Sarah and Chrystie....I thought I would play along! You go to the 4th folder in your pictures and grab the 4th photo. Here is what I found:

Tami's 30th birthday!

My darling husband, Rich planned a great surprise birthday dinner for me. Unfortunatly, I accidentally found out about it. I was checking my email, and he had forgotten to log out of his, so his account popped up! And right there before my eyes was an email that said "Tami's surprise dinner". OOPS! I wish I had not seen it, but oh well. It still turned out great! Rich had arranged for all of my closest friends and family to meet at the Olive Garden (yum, my fave!) It was so nice to be there with all of them. It was such a perfect thing for RIch to do for me. Thanks Rich!!!

Afterwards, we went to a movie, "Eagle Eye" which was pretty good. It was a really fun night!

Picking Pumpkins...

...at the pumpkin patch!!!


Riding the hayride to the pumpkin patch:



This one is too funny...I told Carter to smile, and in the time it took my camera to take the picture, he grabs his tush and says "but I gotta poo, Mom!!!"



Which one is the perfect one....Hmmmm.....


...this one!!!




What handsome fellas!


(Note to self and others that may be venturing to the pumpkin patch--don't wear flops & shorts!! It is so dirty and dusty and there are stickers everywhere, and 3 foot tall weeds, oh and don't wear a baby--you have to bend down and pick those prickley-pokey 700 lb. ::just perfect:: pumpkins yourself! Phew! If I knew all this beforehand I would've bought one at Walmart! Wait, no I wouldn't, because the kids had the best time, and that made it all worth it Ü)

Richie and his toothless grin!

Richie with his 2 front teeth extremely loose. He wouldn't let me or anyone wiggle them, because since his bottom 2 teeth were pulled by the dentist (because his adult teeth were coming in and they were not loose) he felt that ONLY the dentist could take them. So, fortunatly, we had a dentist appt already scheduled for his cleaning, and they yanked the top ones too. Now all he wants for Christmas are his 2 front teeth! haha
