Gingerbread House-Attempt

An attempt was made last night in our house to build a Gingerbread House.  Rhodes loved all the yummy candy that came with the kit.  The house building didn't go so well.

Bedtime Snack

Before Rhodes goes to bed every night he shares some milk and cookies with his daddy.

Turkey Time

 Our Thanksgiving was spent with family in Alabama where we ate lots of food, did a little shopping, played at the park, and just relaxed.  We have so much to be thankful for and it was wonderful to spend time with the ones we love.


 The week started off with the birth of our sweet little nephew, Zachary Amos Fuller

Born: November 22

6lbs. 14oz, 20in

 Off to the park to play before eating all of the yummy Thanksgiving food.

 Even baby Zachary got to wear turkey feathers on Thanksgiving

Pics of Rhodes

Here are a couple pictures from our Christmas card photo shoot the other night.

Thanksgiving Party

It was party day in Rhodes' class at school.  They had yummy food to eat, a game to play, and a craft (which somehow I got put in charge of).

 The few seconds he actually still waiting for food to be put on his plate.

 He got confused between snack time and game time.  He is throwing his food across the table trying to make it land on another kids plate.

I painted each child's name on the aprons and then they put their hand print on them to make little turkeys.  They turned out really cute!

Little Tree

We thought it would be a lot of fun this year for Rhodes to have his very own tree.  Drew took him to the store to pick it out  and 2 boxes of shatterproof ornaments.  As soon as they got home it was time to start decorating.  

 Notice that all of the ornaments are being placed in the same location.

 The family tree and Rhodes' little tree.  Daddy had to help him spread the ornaments out so they were not all in the same place.

Perfect Shirt

Duchess (aka Aunt Jan) found the perfect shirt for Rhodes.  He loves to eat and doesn't mind taking it from someone else if he has to.

"Hand over the CANDY and no one gets HURT"

Rainy Day

Rhodes finally got to wear his new rain jacket that Kat bought for him last year. He loved it and has worn it for 2 days straight not wanting to take it off.

 He loves to hide little treasures in the frog pocket.

Sunday Morning Pics

 After church we walked over to this fountain and tried to get some pictures of Rhodes and Kenadie together.

 Trying to make the little pumpkins bounce like balls.

Harvest Festival

We took the kids to a Harvest Festival at one of the local churches Halloween night.  They had a blast playing games and getting to eat candy.

Kenadie's 2nd Birthday Party

We had such a great time celebrating sweet Kenadie's 2nd birthday.  Her party was lots of fun and the cake was yummy according to Rhodes.

The kids all sat at the little table and when all the girls weren't looking Rhodes stole food off of their plates.

Rhodes thought he was being sneaky as he took one of Kenadie's gifts and put it in the seat of the car and was going to take it to the other room to keep for himself.

Since he got caught sneaking away with a gift he decided to just sit in the middle of the floor and open one there.
