I don't really like to post pictures of myself, so this one is for you Tiffany (who said I needed to put more picture of me up).  This is a birthday shirt from Matt.

Every time I tried to fold this blanket, they kept running over and laying on it, I finally gave up... I think it is still on the floor.

Mikelle made this necklace, she is very proud of it.

Matching Hats

Sharing a drink with Daddy

Jonah when he was sick, doesn't he look so sad.  (He is better now)

Mikelle did this with her hair, came up to me and said, "Mom, look at me, I am so silly, take a picture."

Jonah LOVES to brush my hair.

Matt is picking his mom up from the airport right now.  We are all excited to see her, it is not very often that we do.  I am getting excited for Thanksgiving (yes, I am one of those people who get excited and celebrate every holiday, even St. Patrick's Day).  I am very sad to be having my first Thanksgiving away from home, but I am also excited to start new family traditions, and have Ardell here.  It will be fun, wish me luck for my first time cooking a turkey.  Anyway, now onto the kids because that is what I really blog about; Mikelle has learned the word accident.  She says it all the time:  "Mom, I hit Jonah, but it was an accident, I don't have to go in time out", or "Mom, I colored on the table", or "threw my food on the floor...but it was an accident."  She has the cutest, sweetest little voice, it is hard to not go with it. Then she goes on to say "You're not mad at me mom?  Are you nice at me?"  So she can pretty much get away with anything now....if it's an "accident".  Jonah is doing pretty good, he is getting in a lot of teeth so he hasn't ate or sleep in a few weeks, but I think we are on the down side now.  Matt's last day of criminal something class was TODAY, and that semester went by fast, only five more to go.
