It was also Carson's birthday so Norma had cake for him.

My boys were not there this year because they went to visit with their cousins. We missed them, but I am sure they had a blast at their mimi's.

What A Busy Time Of Year....

This past week was crazy but yet so much fun. First we had my work Christmas Party. What a time. I think everyone had an absolute blast..even Jim.

Our tree we used was out of my office. I decorated it with pictures of all the employees in our office. It turned out pretty cute I thought.

These were plastic martini glasses that we filled with peppermints and a tealight they turned out really cute!

On Friday we had our Life Group Christmas party at the Woolverton's. It was a great party with a great turnout. Thanks to everyone that helped get that together!

Look at our music minister Eric...Don't ask....haha! You know I took my camera to this party and some how this is the only picture I took all night. Well I guess because it gave us all a great laugh! We love y'all Kim and Eric!

This past Saturday my work decided to get together a float for the Christmas parade. We work alot of the day on Friday getting supplies together. Then on Saturday morning we were at the paper at 8am to start our masterpiece.

This was the start of the morning...well that is after donuts and coffee!

So what did ya think...pretty good float to be put together all in one day!

Rhonda even brought her Great Dane Daisy...Daisy was so good she walked with us beside the float the whole time. We could of just used her as our float she got lots of attention!

Update On My Mom....

Well Mom recovered fairly quickly from her stem cell transplant. But 4 weeks later she is back in the hospital with partial paralysis. They were going to run a battery of test on her today to try and figure out why this is happening. Of course they say they have never seen this reaction before. So please continue to keep her in your prayers. Hopefully they will get it figured out and she will get well soon! Also please keep Jim's mom in you prayers she needs them right now!

My Babies Are Growing Up....

So PayBo is getting way to big. He is so turning into a daddy's boy and it makes me soooo sad. He went on his first deer hunting trips this year and he did get him one and he was so excited I think he called the whole town of Athens and Linden. I still have to hear about it every morning on the way to school and its been a week since he killed it. He even wrote a story in school titled my favorite memory...and guess what it was about...of course his hunting trip.

He also got up on the roof with his dad last night to put up the Christmas lights...when he came in he was to funny...he said mom it was freezing out there and I risked my life for you. Kids they say the funniest things.

Colby is losing his teeth like crazy he lost his front two about 2 weeks ago and he pulled another on this week and he has 2 more that are loose. He is going to break the tooth fairy...haha!

This picture was taken the night he lost his first upper tooth the next day the other one was gone as well. Now one on the bottom is gone and more to follow.

This was on a trip we took back to Linden to visit family and of course we could not leave the puppies behind so they all rode in the cab of the truck with us. To recall that whole experience you can read here

Busy lives leaves little time for blogging....

I know I am horrible I think I have as many blogs saying this is a catch up blog as I do a normal everyday blog. But my life has been crazy, different, exciting, and unknown for the past two weeks. I have not even had time to just sit and breath.
You know those moments I'm talking about...the kind where you kick your feet up on the back porch with a nice breeze blowing and close your eyes and just listen to nature. Oh my goodness that sounds so great!

Unfortunately I don't see that time coming soon so I am gonna quickly update you on the Green family.

I have been swamped with work, due to so much going on there this time of year and also a new boss coming on the scene. It's been around 7:30-8 every night when I finally get to leave that place and still there are things that need to be done. And as for the new boss, still trying to make up my mind on that one.

Jim of course is working like crazy and having to do baseball every other night and then tournaments on the weekends (and yes I go to practices and games). Oh by the way Flo we went to Waco this past weekend to play in a tournament at the Rivercrest Park it was soooo nice! Also we may not have won any games but we were the best looking team...haha!





Also since we spent Colby's b-day playing baseball after the games Saturday night most of the team went with us to Applebee's and we celebrated there. He said he just wanted to go somewhere where they would sing to him and then when they did come out singing he acted like it scared him to death...haha!



Also Jim's sister Gwen and his parents came to watch Paybo play ball (well Gwen tried to come watch Paybo play but she got lost...haha love u Gwen) and to go with us to help celebrate Colby's b-day. He loved it all and had a great time!











Well I guess that's about it for now and I hope I can get you updated a little more often than I have been!
