Fun with Friends part 3- Ava/Emmaline

This summer we had a lot of friends move away. One set to Kentucky, one to Tupelo, one to Oxford, and one set to the Beach. We have had a lot of adjusting to do with all of the change, but we are managing. Well, the set that moved to the beach was Abby's best friends, Ava and Emmaline. And it just so happened to be mine and Danny's best friends also. We went on a family vacation to the mountains for the FCA coaches camp in June together and had a blast. Our last big hurrah before they moved. Well, in November when Danny was away for a road trip, Abby and I went down to the beach for a visit. It was so much fun, but not nearly long enough. The whole way home Abby kept asking when we were going to move to the beach. She just has not been able to wrap her little head around the whole situation. I think I still have not been able to wrap my heart around it. We love you Matt, Bet, Ava, Emma, and Samuel....and miss you very much!!

Fun with Friends part 2- Myla

A couple of weeks ago my friend Meredith and her daughter came down for a visit while Danny was away recruiting. Of course when the girls were doing cute things together I did not have my camera, and the one time I did the battery was dying. Go figure.... Meredith got some cute pictures of the girls so they are on her blog. We had a lot of fun and the girls were sooooo good. (Besides the fact that Abby tried to be mommy to Myla the whole time.) One of the days Meredith and I spent the morning at Walmart getting her tires fixed and the whole afternoon waiting on my car to get new brakes. Not exactly the best thing to do with a 3 year old and a one year old, but they did really well!! We did a lot of sewing and a lot of talking that week and I most enjoyed the company of my dear friend. I miss you Mer!!!!

These pics are from July but oh so cute.....they are both getting so BIG.

Fun with Friends part 1- Emily

I am going to play catch up in the next few blogs! We have been a little busy lately and I have not had time to post much. I have some darling pictures of Abby and her friends, and they are too cute not to post, and too many to post at one time!! So, here is the first set.

Abby just loves Emily. They play so well together and have so much fun playing together. One day my friend Meredith and her daughter Myla and my friend Anna and her daughter Emily went to lunch with us and then we stopped by the sewing store. Abby thinks she owns the place since we are practically there everyday. Well on this day Anna was wanting to get a pattern and material for Emily a new dress. I was having fun helping her pick out material and then we realized that we needed to measure Emily for the correct measurments. Abby and Emily wanted to do the measuring for us so..... well, considering how the pictures turned out you can see how accurate our daughters are in the sewing world. It was so adorable seeing Emily stand so still and Abby look up and tell us the numbers she thought we needed. I guess we do rub off on our kids!!

Sweet girls!!!

Our little seamstresses!!
I wonder if Emily and Abby stand this still when mommy is measuring.

Merry Christmas!!!

We would like to wish you all (those from the south...ya'll) a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! We are very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. As we enter another Christmas season we are reminded from the song "O Come All Ye Faithful" of God's faithfulness and love through the birth of His one and only Son. Our Savior, JESUS CHRIST. So, as we enter 2009, may we be faithful to our God and Father, who has been faithful to us. Let us come and adore Him in our actions, words and the way we live!! We love you all and hope you have a wonderful and blessed day with family and friends.
Thank you Jesus for the hope that you bring!!
Danny, Tamah, and Abigail

Bargain of the Week!!!

I am so excited to share with you all my bargain of the week! For those of you who do not know me very well..I love to go to gargae sales, antique stores, flea markets and have been known to take stuff out of peoples trash.Yes, I said trash! (the stuff on the side of the road, not the garbage pail). Next time you are at my house just try to figure out what came out of the trash. :) I guess I just like the excitement of getting something that no one else wants and take it home and make it beautiful and functional. The best part of this week is not only the price, but I do not have to scrap it and paint it. We have been looking for trampolines for a while and wanting to buy one for Abigail. Well, Saturday morning I went to the Jackson Academy garage sale to see what I just might be missing. To make a long story short, I found a full sizetrampoline for $15! It is in perfect condition. No rust, the mat looks brand new, and all the pieces were there!! The boys at JA loaded it for me, Danny unloaded it, and by 10:00 that morning we had a trampoline to jump on. ( now we just have to buy the stuff to go up around it!) If you are ever thinking about throwing something away...please call me first! I will give you a bargain price!!! Or just barter with you:)Abby thinking....is this really mine?

Daddy and Abby trying it out for the first time!

How high can we go?

I have a feeling that Daddy is liking this as much as Abby is!!

Good job Mom! I love it.

Thanksgiving in Branson

We had such a great Thanksgiving break. We did everything from swimming, riding rollercoasters, watching a parade full of Christmas lights, shopping from 10pm-2am, watching a horse show while eating with our fingers, to watching football and cheesy christmas movies all afternoon. It was very fun and relaxing but best of all was spending time with family. Thank you Pa Pa and Ru Ru for such a great time!!!

*Please excuse the pictures being out of order!!! First time and all!!!
