We had a wonderful time over the Thanksgiving Holiday celebrating with Mom, Dad, Crosby, Lauren and Crosby II. It all seems to go by so fast when you are having so much fun with family. Be aware that there are alot of pictures below...Enjoy

Bennett and Crosby played so well together. Below they are playing with the ball popper...everyone's favorite toy!

Crosby II looking very satisfied after his 1st Thanksgiving meal.
The Crosby Parker Family

The Parker Family Thanksgiving minus a few key family members who were definitely missed.

Parker and her daily activity of torturing Boots and Hagar who continue to come back for more.

Bennett and Crosby II playing on the new playset....which is not yet together.

Bennett was very thirsty and Clif thought this might quench his thirst but don't go calling child services because the can wasn't open yet!

Another great photo of the Crosby Parker Family (I'm posting for them because I can only imagine how long it will take for them to get their pictures on their blog)

Clif - earning his keep!

Bennett and Crosby watching the cats outside.

As you can see we had a wonderful time and hated to head back home but we look forward to seeing more family and friends during the Christmas Holiday.

This past weekend the children and I went to Centralia to visit mom & dad. Michael, Crissie and Taylor had the same idea. I knew that we weren't going to see them for Thankgiving so I wanted to visit with them. Taylor and Bennett hadn't seen each other since this Summer and they both have grown so much. As soon as they saw each other they started having fun! Here is a picture of them and Aunt Crissie scooting down the stairs.

Bennett and Taylor discussing their favorite books

Taking a quick break for a photo op

Getting our daily outside activity
Bennett was playing in the basket and then Taylor came along and jumped in too

We had fun visiting with y'all! We hope to see you again soon!

Sorry it took so long but here are some pictures from Halloween night in Greenwood.

Bennett and his cousin Livie (who is the same age as Taylor) were both lions. Aren't they cute!

Here is Parker and Ethan. He was a zebra but took his costume off after two houses. I don't think that Parker thought that her's was a costume. She loved being Dorothy!

Bennett got the hang of the candy thing real quick. He was moving pretty fast in this picture.
This is Cathy and Eddie's neighbor. She looked great at a witch...Bennett was a little frightened.

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of weeks.

Yes, Parker is sleeping in her closet. She has taken to doing this a couple of times a week. We leave her and she is in her bed but when we check on her she is in the closet. If we move her she just goes back so now we just leave her in the closet....is that terrible? She does it because the cats sleep in out closet and she loves her cats.

Her she is before we covered her up. An early morning at the Barnes' house. Bennett is happily eating his rice crispies. He loves using utensils and isn't half bad at it Mrs. Lynne is so creative with the children. Below are some of my favorite decorations this Thanksgiving season...my pine cone turkeys!
Clif did Bennett's hair one night before bedtime....he looke adorable! Clif was so proud. An afternoon at the park. I think this was Bennett's first time going down the big slides.

We have had a week long of Halloween activities! Monday night Parker and I went to the annual Halloween Carnival & spaghetti supper at the Catholic church. She had a blast. I will post pictures as soon as I get them. Then Tuesday night, we all went to the country club for their Halloween Party. Below are some pictures from the night's activities.

Here come Dorothy and the Lion!

We tried to get a good picture of the two of them but it was hopeless!

Bennett was a hit in his lion costume!

Bennett and dad had a great time fishing!

Parker couldn't control her excitement everytime she won a prize. She truly loves drama! Watch out Hollywood!

Parker and her best friend Ann Garrard. When Ann Garrard got to the Club, Parker was already running around but when they saw one another they ran across the ballroom screaming one another's names and then hugged. It was hilarious!
