I think there were about 25 or so at Thanksgiving. I think our house is probably the smallest place we have all gotten together. It was crowded, I mean "cozy" and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Thank you all for a great time! I love you!

On his birthday, he had his friend Jensyn over for a playdate...
After the older kids got out of school, we went to see The Bee movie. In the parking lot of the theater there were a bunch of Nascar trailers that were parked, so the kids had to get a picture in front of one of them...

More Prayer Please....

My cousin Jaimie found out a couple of weeks ago that her baby had some heart problems. Just yesterday at a recheck she got some bad news that baby Leilla will need open heart surgery shortly. Well today she was not doing so good and had to be taken to the hospital. She will stay there through Monday and then they will perform the surgery. Please keep her family Jaimie (mommy), Scott (daddy), Caden (brother) and especially little Leilla in your prayers. I don't know how many people even read this, but if it's one more person to pray for her, then that works for me! They live in the LA area, but were in Phoenix to visit their family a few weeks ago. My aunt Linda had a girls night over at her house, so we could all meet Leilla and that is what these pics are from....Lainey, Leilla and Caden.
