Is there a pattern and routine in our lives or what? This week has been normal. Brandon was feeling under the weather at the beginning of the week but he seems to be over it now. Brant is feeling great and it is such a relief! I hope writing this on here doesn't jinx him! I have switched him to Soy milk due to what I have read up about mild milk allergies and I would like to think that is what has helped him get better...at least that's what I will believe! This weekend I am going to try to get the rest of my Christmas shopping done and a little decorating. Tomorrow we are going to put up the tree and the rest of our decorations, which are slim but maybe I can find somewhere on my shopping spree with MiMi tomorrow!

I can't believe it is December already...time flies when you get older!

Here is our week (or just one day this week) in some pictures!

Love you all!

This is a look I receive very frequently now!

He loves his cows!

Isn't he gorgeous?

::For Your Enjoyment::

::Thanksgiving::

After much critiscism from friends and family about my slack posting....I have decided to be a bit more diligent this holiday season. Starting on this past Saturday it has been family, family, and more family with my sister coming in town. I have tried to see her as much as I can being that she is my BESTEST friend and I never get to see her.

On Thursday we went down to Macon and spent Thanksgiving there with Brandon's family. We will be with mine on Christmas...my sister said this whole being the only kid at home thing was NOT fun for her! And I know the feeling, I missed her too. But, it was great to spend time with Brandon's family and see everyone. On Friday we hit the mall with all the Arnold women and Brandon found some great buys. So, being jealous, I spent all day today with my sister spending even more money. But most of mine was on Christmas presents for Brant and decorations for the house. I hate to spend the money but it makes me feel a little better knowing I won't have to spend it next year, its just the first year in your new home!

On Friday night my sis and I went to dinner with my high school buddies. I am so blessed to have these girls in my life STILL and always will! Congratulations to Traci, the newly engaged one! I miss all you girls so much and wish we all lived closer or it could be like high school and we could see each other everyday...but who knows...maybe we wouldn't cherish our time together like we do!

Here are some pics from this week. Nothing too special...I guess I will be venturing out soon to get the picture with Santa. Let's all hope Brant isn't afraid!

::I Love My Sissy!::

Here is a recent pic of me and La. I will post more pictures later of Brant's Thanksgiving luncheon today if I get any good ones! Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families. Cherish these times....they go TOO fast as I am beginning to truly realize!

I know its been a while...

Life is just busy...it seems like we need more time for everything, but if we had more time, we would just fill that up, so I guess I just need to deal with the cards I got!

This week has been relatively good. Brant got pink eye on Tuesday and we had to deal with that....but his ears are fine...after 8 weeks they are finally fine, so that is good news! His pink eye is great now, still doing the drops but he is feeling like himself. His head is healing nicely as well, he just looks like he is from India with his red dot in the middle of his forehead.

On Monday night Brandon got in a really bad wreck and totaled his truck. He is fine, but his truck is finished. We had been looking at getting me a new car next spring, but apparently before he got in the wreck he was on his way to check out a Chevy Equinox for me to surprise me with. Needless to say, he went and looked at the car on Tuesday being that we both need a car to get to work in opposite directions and at completely different times. So, on Tuesday when I was finished with work I came out in the parking lot with him, because he had to pick me up, and there was my new car. An '07 Chevy Equinox. SO EXCITED! It is beautiful. I will put up some pictures another time. But here are some recent pictures of Brant for you to enjoy! And yes I know, in the last picture of him coloring it became evident to me that he needs to get his first haircut!

Love you all!

::We Found NEMO::

Halloween was so fun! After a fun day at MiMi's and getting to see his MacMath friends, Brant headed back home to trick or treat with Mommy and Daddy. We went around to probably about 8 houses on our street. He was LOVING it. Not only did he love digging for the candy and knocking on the door, but he thought that you were supposed to go in and visit every house too! It was the funniest thing ever. He would get so mad when we made him turn around. After he was done with all of those and it was getting near bedtime we had to trick him to get him to come home. We swung him in the air and were running to make it fun, but he broke down in a fit when we closed the gate behind us. He did not want the night to end. The only way that we got him to stop crying was let him watch Nemo in his Nemo suit. So priceless.

Here are some pictures from the night. Oh, and he also won the "Cutest By FAR" award from one of the houses....YEA BRANT!
