Thanksgiving!

Here we are all 43 of us!



Well, usually every other year we are with my side of the family for Thanksgiving. This year, we were suppose to be at my Great Aunt & Uncle house but she was diagnosed with Cervical cancer this past summer. She is doing great! Anyway, Wes being the great man that he is told my mom that we could have Thanksgiving here. Now for most of you, thanksgiving is a small family gathering with paper plates or real plates if you have enough for everyone. Not in this house. You see, hosting thanksgiving for my mom's side of the family means anywhere from 20 to 50 people. We had 43 this year. We cooked 2 turkeys. One smoked and one roasted. Thanksgiving went off without any problems thanks to the help of my brother and his wife, my mom and dad, my Cousin Jennifer and of course WES. Wes loves to be in the Kitchen when he has time and he is awesome. The turkeys were wonderful and everyone had a great time. I feel so blessed that I have such a wonderful husband and son. My brother and his family are the best. I love them so much and my mom and dad are so supportive and loving to all of us that we feel honored that they are so close. God has truly blessed us in many ways and I thank Him everyday for all that he gives to us!

Elliott & Daddy Bonding!

We were waiting to leave for Spokane and it was right at Elliott's normal nap time and I guess he just decided that daddy was just as comfortable as his bed.


We joined a book club for Elliott and daddy decided to read him his first full book. Dumbo. He sat through the whole book. It was so cute to hear them.


This has to be one of my most favorite times that I have seen Wes interact with Elliott. He is such a wonderful father and husband and I feel so blessed every day that I am married to him. He is truly a man of GOD!

Happy Halloween!

There's a pumpkin on my butt?

What was I suppose to say?
When I am 1, I can have candy they tell me!
Se we had our first Halloween with our Little Elliott! Needless to say, at 5 months old we did not go trick or treating. We went to grandma & grandpa Neeley's house and than to Great grandma & grandpa Neeley's. He got clothes from both of them. Now that is what I like as a treat! We than headed off to Grandma Lynnie's & Papa Wayne's where Elliott got his first candy(more for mom and dad than Elliott). Than we went to Aunt Molly's house to help her hand out candy. She had about 175 pieces of candy and we ran out. That was with only giving one piece to each child. Here are a few pictures of our little Pumpkin!
