Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength: The rest of November 2014

It's almost March..... I have so much to catch up on!!

Back in November, we had lots of birthday parties and lots of fun! We celebrated our friends Morgan, Lila, and Owen all in one weekend! And then Troxy turned the big 6-0!

Having fun with the birthday girl, Lila, at Morgan's party!

Big Mickey at Owen's party!

Pooped after all three parties!

We made it to the Mistletoe gala..... barely! It was a last minute decision to get dressed and go. I had a 4 hour shift the next day and then we left straight from there to get on the plane for Disney. It was a busy week!

But it's always nice to get out and have some fun!

L's dance studio had a parent's review day. It was so cute to get to sneak in and see them all in action. Of course, she did her fair share of goofing off too! She is second to last, on number 9 because she's one of the smallest in class, but it wasn't slowing her down either!

So excited! Excuse the dirty car.... this is real life!

Visiting Daddy's office! She always loves it! All his "girlfriends" spoil her too much!

Date night! I think we were at Sombra

Troxy's birthday adventure was a limo ride for the family to one of his favorite restaurants, Two Rivers, and back. Lydia LOVED it and thought she was so fancy!

Just having fun with Troxy in the back!

Happy 60th Troxy!

She requested footie jambes when it got cold again, so I found some in her size and I think this was the last time she wore them..... she quickly discovered she didn't like taking it all off just potty.

Another one of Baby Patty's birthday parties.

dress up, all day, everyday

She loves to craft and recently learned how to write her name, so she wants it on EVERYTHING now! That little slip of paper is from her church notebook. She was writing her name on the sheets, tearing them out and passing them out during church like it was a famous autograph! Everyone is so sweet to her during church, even when she's not having the best day.

Thanksgiving lunch at school. Thanks to Uncle Bubby and KK for coming!

Got her to sit still- well, kind of- for half a second with me.

Daddy had the state tournament that weekend and his team WON! We are headed to sectionals soon!

Yay! He won!

We took Finley to the Y with us, he's such a trooper!

Mrs. Emily R let us come play and decorate fall cookies, she's so fun and such a good mama!

Watching SuSu's team play in the state tournament. She made a birthday cake in the sand

Watching SuSu, waiting on Daddy to play.

Yay for SuSu!

Troxy came to take Lyds on a date to the movies. She loves it and thinks she is so special!

This happened when I told her I had to cook dinner for 10 minutes and couldn't come play in her room, she brought the room to me! Thanks, Lyds, Thanks!

Thank goodness Daddy made it home shortly after that.

But we all had what we needed, no worries!

We headed to the coast for Thanksgiving! It's always such fun to visit and relax with everyone! We love our home away from home!

She was over pictures.... shocker.

Thanks to Robert and Shaunna for hosting us and to SuSu and Bo for putting up with us!

Elvis can play the piano!

She loves their big yard and trees!

After a fun Thanksgiving on the coast, we headed to Oxford for the Egg Bowl! It was a little chilly, but fun!

Square jam. Lyds was hiding from Santa, but running around having fun and loving Square Books Jr.

burr...

Foxy!

KK!

KK and Troxy babysat Friday night and we met Linda, Lila, and Andrew at Lamar Lounge. Our table was right next to Tim Tebow's..... like my smooth photography skills?! HA! I was trying to be discrete about it, but then my flash went off and I pulled it down!
