Finally My Thanksgiving Post!!

Finally my Thanksgiving Post!!

Every other year we spend Thanksgiving with Donnie's side of the family. I love it!! My in-laws home gets filled up with LOTS of kids (mostly ours) and LOTS of big kids. Here are some pictures we snapped of our special day. I will put descriptions at the bottom of most pictures. Sit back and enjoy.

The post that will come soon is my birthday post! When I get to it, I will tell you how I spent celebrating my 39th birthday! I still feel like I am in my 20's. Guess the children keep me young! I love my life!!

Ok here it goes:

My In laws: Donnie and Chris

Yep, you read this right! They are also named Donnie and Chris (they are the originals...ha ha ha). It gets a bit confusing when we all gather together, but usually they are called Pops and Mema by most of us. It get confusing when others are calling out our names and then we both answer "Yes?"

Me and my Babe-Donnie!!

I love this man! What a gift in my life!



Donnie and his youngest brother, Bobby.
(Donnie's face cracks me up! He looks like he had to much to "drink". And he doesn't drink! )
Bobby is such a sweet, sweet man. He is so loving and caring for everyone. I don't think he would ever hurt anyone. Well, maybe, if they hurt his family! :)

My sister in law, Melissa
She is married to Donnie's brother Bobby in the above picture. She is also such a wonderful person. They've been married since 1999 and have two boys, Ethan and Colton. Yep, she so wants another baby--a girl of course! I am hoping she will have one soon.


Ethan 6 yrs old.
He is Bobby and Melissa's first born.
Isn't he such a blondie! He is cute!


Colton, 4yrs old
Bobby and Melissa's youngest son.
Look at this face! He is so adorable. He can be a firecracker at times. But then again he is ALL boy. He is a sweety also. He'll come up and give such good sugar. Too cute!

Tim and and fiance, Melanie
Tim is Donnie's middle brother, who recently proposed to his girlfriend of 2 yrs.
I've been telling Melanie she needs to set a date and not procrastinate.
Let the wedding bells ring!!
Tim has two sweet boys, Nathan and Andy.


Nathan, 8yrs old
This is Tim's oldest son.
He is such a nice kid! Very smart! This is Shiloh's buddy!

Andy, 5 yrs old
Tim's second born son.
He is such a cutie and quite shy. I don't think he's ever said a word to me.
I know he talks...I've heard him :)


Now for my the sweethearts in my life!

I know!! He doesn't look so sweet does he? Donnie is such a riot.
He makes me laugh so hard. Moriah took this picture of him.

Justin 15 1/2 yrs old
He is almost as tall as his daddy. Towering a 6'!
You should see him next to my 5'1 stature! LOL!

Tsavah (10) and Moriah (12)!
My beauty queens! These girls are absolutely gorgeous!
I don't just say this because they're my daughters. They are beautiful! They are told all the time.

Shiloh, 7 yrs. old
Yes, this is my latino looking boy!
He definitely takes after my hispanic side.
CUTE!

Mr. President Galen, 5yrs. old!
All he needs is a suit and briefcase.
Seriously!

Kole the 3yr old who will be 4 in January!
He's my boy right now. He follows me everywhere!

Ephraim, 2, my hunk of love!
We call him Ephee for short.
Isn't he such a cutie! I love his eyes. I think he looks alot like his daddy.

SILLY BOY!

The little princess, Ana!
She is 10 months old now. Can you believe it?! She is everywhere. She isn't very big. I think she must weigh all but 16 pounds. She is tiny!

I love this picture!

Here are some random pictures I took. There are many, many more that I took but couldn't find on my camera. Too bad.


The boy table!


Ana playing with all the toys.
There are no girl toys to play with at Mema's since there are so many boys in the family. The grandkids make up of 3 girls and 9 boys!

Yummy pie!

Johnny and Christie, friends of the family!

Great update, great pics, great family. And I love that you and your in laws share names. How cute is that?!!

Ana is such a cutie. My Isabella is a little one, too. All my babies were lean and long their first year. Must be the genes from our 'otha motha'.

My oldest son---The Teenage Years Just Around the Corner

This is Justin my 12 yr old. It is unimaginable to think I was holding this little (not so little anymore) bundle in my arms 12 yrs ago. Time seems to fly when you have children. They grow up right before your eyes and before you know it, they have left the nest. Justin is the clown of the family. Takes after his daddy 100%. I couldn't find a serious picture other than the one with the blue background. The one of him jumping in the fish mouth is alot like his personality. There is a soft side to this young man. He loves his brothers and sisters. Anytime he gets a chance, he wants to play and entertain the whole bunch. He is not the type to hide in his room, so his brothers and sisters don't bother him. He loves quality time with any one who will spend time with him. He loves to hang out and have a good time. The teenage years are around the corner for Justin. He will turn 13 in June. Wow! The world says "Look out for those teenage years." But I say "Bring them ...

My Friday Friends...

Me with  Faye and Lena   For the past few months on Friday afternoons,  I have been meeting up with two fantastic ladies.   These women have touched my heart in so many ways I can't even explain.  Both of them are women who love the Lord and hunger for for more of Him in their lives. Me, being the youngest of the three, have gained so much wisdom from them.  Faye and Lena The older of us three is like a mother figure to me,  her name is Faye.   She is an amazing woman who has so much wisdom to offer.   I have bonded with her closely and am so thankful for God bringing her into my life.  She has a blog... so if you want to check her out....go on over to visit her here . Then there's my sweet friend Lena... You know she's moving next week???  I am a bit sad this week because her move.   I don't know what I'll do without Lena checking up on me.  She is an amazing woman who is probably one ...

"Where is my picture, mommy"

This is Shiloh, my 4 yr old. He was wondering why I haven't posted his picture. I was waiting to get my camera back from my friend. I actually forgot it at her house. We went to butcher a few roosters a few days back and I took great (and gross) pictures. I will post those soon. But for now I have this one of Shiloh. He said he wanted this one because he is running. He is such a joy in my and Donnie's life. He makes us laugh so much. My Shiloh is our second son and we are so blessed to have him in our family. Just to think that if we had decided not to have more children after the third, then we wouldn't have this gorgeous boy, who loves God with all his heart. The other day when we were at my friend Jennifer's farm, she told me that Shiloh had left an impression in her father in law. Basically, Shiloh came up to him and asked him if he knew Jesus and if he went to church. Wow, it is true that the praises come forth from babes. Maybe this is why Jesus says to be as litt...
