kriswe'll come.... ;-( 
txwhittlecSounds like fun! Wish we could be there! :( 
nmarksWell i would but i can't!!!!! 
momofthreejuly123Mom and sister are going Christmas shopping in Kokomo that day. Wish we could come. 
momofthreejuly123I guess I left out I was going too. Chad is in charge of the kids. He'll be ready for me to come home! 
neenoutno fair!!!:) 
cherriWhat is a holiday drop in party? 
sarahsmileI'd totally drop in if I were anywhere nearby! Hope it's a fun party! 
nugglefriendcuzI wish we could come. Make sure you tell us all about it. We are having a Christmas Party and I want some good ideas. 
txwhittlecSo, how did it go? Do you have any pictures? :) 
momofthreejuly123We didn't get home till 12:30 am from shopping. I didn't go to bed till 2 am. I'm sorry we missed all the fun! Abby is still sick. She has a yeast infection due to all the diarea. Poor girl. She has to eat a lot of yogurt and I'm putting cream on her. She has had this since Tuesday!!! She is still drinking well, so she isn't dehydrated. 
whitestripeswish i wouldn't have missed it. trust me though, you don't want what i have. fastest diet i've ever been on though. lost 5 lbs in 3 days. still can't really eat. i'm kinda gettin tired of it. 
sarahsmileI actually got the black satin-esque pants at Walmart...for $14.97! So if I wear them at least twice, I think they've earned their price. The top was a summer top that was on sale at Khol's...but it's got this black satin ribbon so it looks holiday ish. Total for the outfit= $25!
But for real, I LOVE shopping for people...I'll go with you next time! 
nugglefriendcuzWhy are you going private? How do you even do that. Maybe i need to so I can post pics. My husband doesn't want me to post pics because he said there are to many weirdos out there. Not that I know how to do it anyway. 
nugglefriendcuzThat is sad. We don't have much of a relationship with Dan's family either. It sad when you have to explain who grandma and grandpa are. 
lil_whitits my good friend tiffany i always talk about. its ok. she can be your friend 
dshLooking forward to the post about your party and trip! :) 
cherrihow did the party go? 
nugglefriendcuzSorry that you have been sick. Hope you feel better soon. 
dshSorry you've not been feeling good. Hope you get better soon. :) 
nugglefriendcuzThanks for the info. That is a lot of cooking. 
rmpmullinaxThank you SO much for the postcard for Peri's school project!! She will be so excited to receive it! I owe you one! Thanks again! 
rmpmullinaxThanks for the postcard update! We will be watching the mail for it! Thanks for all your help 
rmpmullinaxGot the postcard today!!! Thanks SOOO much for your help with Peri's project!

Its beginning to look alot like 80 degrees...... 11-19-07 10:02am EST
Oh yes it is!
We are leaving Wednesday morning for the sunshine state. Woo Hoo! We are fortunate this year to get to spend Thanksgiving with my brother Joe and his wife Bonny. We are also going to get to spend time with several cousins, so we are looking forward to that as well.

The kids are especially excited. Joe has a suprise for the boys involving firetrucks.(they can't wait to visit his fire station) We are also doing Micky's very merry Christmas Party at Disney Worlds magic kingdon. We will also be spending a night at the Wilderness lodge. We are all very pumped about this.

I will ask for your prayers for a safe trip. It seems all I have heard on the news in the last couple of weeks, is about air traffic control problems and the nightmares of holiday travel. Ugh! So, if you could add us to your prayers, it would be much aprreciated.

One more thing. On Satruday Dec. 1 will be our second annual (I hope) holiday open house. It is drop in style from 5-9pm. For those of you in the surrounding area, we would love for you to stop in. If you don't know how to get to our house, just let me know and I will give you directions.

I know that I have much to be thankful for. Know that it is a blessing to have all of you as friends (and family).

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
txwhittlecYou are a blessing too, Jill! :) Hope you have a wonderful time in FL! Have fun at your open house too...wish we could go. Happy Thanksgiving! 
boysrusHave a wonderful Thanksgiving :) Praying for you to have a safe trip. 
sararhotonSounds like a great trip! Hope you have fun, and you'll be in my prayers!

krisYAY! Praying for your safe trip! 
nugglefriendcuzHope ya'll have a great trip. Wish I could come to your open house. 
momofthreejuly123Sounds fun! I'll pray for a safe trip. I miss seeing your little brother. I know your mom does too. What is this Holiday Open House? 
bgthe hustle and bustle keeps cherri from gettin bored while shopping and me im in b/w cherri and tiffany with looking and getting what I want and getting out cause unlike tiffany who could spend hours in a store. But black friday keeps us going the whole time, hopping from store to store. Have fun and happy thanksgiving! 
neenoutthat sounds like a great trip, I hope you are having a blast! 
krisHope you guys made the drive back to Temple Terrace from "Ga" safely. REALLY enjoyed time with you Thursday and tonight! You are wonderful. Love the Kiddos! I'm off to bed. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and Mickey! 
krisAnd HAPPPY Day Late Birthday to Brian! Hope you guys were able to rest today! Aaron said last night that he really enjoyed hanging out with Brian! Goodluck with the party this weekend!

nugglefriendcuzCute kiddies! I see they are tan like their momma. Love Emma's cheeks. Drock and Dry have cheeks like that. 
krisoh no worries, we will be in the low 70's by 3, and I'm sure next week we will be back to the 80's. Our weather is so fickle! Hence being excited about our 3 days of cool weather a year! 
momofthreejuly123Call me and teach me! I still don't know how to. 
momofthreejuly123I don't know. I am still learning. Alicia helped me w/this one. We'll see! See you tonight!

krishey we get to see you soon 
krisI warmed them up to the low 80's for you today! 
matermagistraI really think Emma looks like you in that second picture!!

She has really pretty eyes.

I have always wanted one child to have dark hair and Trina will have darker hair than the rest, but I'll really be shocked if she ends up with dark eyes.

Cute, cute kiddos. 
krisWe are excited! Aaron is VERY excited about the noodles! It looks like Brian's birthday Bash will be happening at our house! Is that Saturday actually his birthday? Adam's is that Weekend too. 
krisAdam's is Sunday the 25th. Brian shares a birthday with the Gate's boys.

Fall Break and Parent/Teacher conferences 10-23-07 08:44am EST
Today officially starts our fall break. Alex didn't go to school at all today and Jake only goes a half day. We have the rest of the week off.

Last night, we had both of the boys p/t conferences. I love hearing what the teachers have to say. Mrs. Cookston said Alex is well-behaved and very artistic, just like Jake. (she had Jake in kindergarten) He is right where he is suppose to be for his age. Mrs. Dix showed us Jakes test scores so far (which were above where he should be) She stated if he continues as he is, he should be an honor-roll student and be able to do whatever he wants in life. She said Jake is also well behaved but, does tend to want to be the "funny guy". I am sure that doesn't surprise some of you who know him well.
I am very happy with both reports.

The boys are both currently playing basketball. I am Alex's coach. We had our first practice yesterday. Brian is helping with Jake's team.

As for fall break, we don't have to many plans. We will be headed up to my moms for a couple of days. Its a short little road trip, and the kids love going to "Emaw's". They also enjoy seeing other family, as many live in the same town. My Uncle and Aunt live two houses down from my mom and My other Aunt and Uncle,( her mom and dad ) will be moving back to Indiana in the next couple of months from Minnisota. We are all looking forward to that. They will live just a couple of miles away. My kids are very lucky to have their Great aunts and uncles, its almost like having more grandparents. If you don't already know, I LOVE my family. I love our close knit relationships, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Saturday, we will be going to a Halloween party at the home of some of our church friends in Indy. They will be going to. I know it will be lots of fun.

The kids are gearing up for Halloween. Jake is going to be an ER doctor/paramedic. Alex and Emma are going as firefighters. (They ought to make their Uncle Joe proud). Hopefully Stacy will come over here before then and school me in pictures. One can only hope!

Only 34 days until we leave for Florida.(Ask Jake, he is counting) We will be going to Joe and Bonny's for Thanksgiving. We are also going to Mickys very merry Christmas party at the magic kingdom. Fun times are ahead.

Oh, and one more important note. Emma has been wearing big girl panties for over two weeks now. She has had no accidents in over a week. Yeah Emma!!

Its a cold, rainy and dreary day out today.....but man am I blessed!

Have a great week.
neentothebeanOf course your boys are smart!!! I wouldn't have expected anything less:)
I love that you are coaching!!! I wish we could see some of the games!
Enjoy the break and fam:)
Go, Emmma!! Go, Emma!! 
krisI love your family too! Coming too Florida? We are in town for Thanksgiving this year. Hope you enjoy Mickey! 
neenoutIt's great that you live so close to family, I know not all of your family, but a lot of them! I wish I could do a short drive to my family! Your costumes sound cute, I think Silas is going to be a dog this year. It's kind of funny because we won't be going trick or treating so I don't really know where he is going to wear this dog outfit other than in my house for pictures :) 
sarahsmileIt's been raining here, too..which is good because we've been in drought conditions!

How exciting to hear your boys can be whatever they want to be! My parents always told me that I could do whatever I wanted and I think that was important- it gives them self esteem and opens up all kinds of doors for them mentally. 
whitestripesjake, a funny guy...noooo. it couldn't be! ha, we think jake is funny too. maybe i can come over thursday or friday to help you with pictures. you will be posting new ones everyday! 
txwhittlecYea for the great reports from your boy's teachers! Yea for Emma being a big girl with no accidents! You have a lot of fun things coming up. Exciting! :) 
momofthreejuly123Maybe I'll see you this week. Glad the boys are doing good in school. I'm even more excited Ema's wearing panties. I can't wait till Abby is out of diapers. Chad and I calculated, we have been buying and changing dipers for over 8 years now. That is a lot of diapers. 
howcolwhitGood to hear of the boys school reports. NM has their parent/teacher conf. this wek also. So happy for Emma wearing her little panties! That is always a milestone, that we as parents enjoy experiencing. Enjoy your time with Mom. Tell her 'Hello' for me. 
dshGlad your boys are doing so well in school. Enjoy your fall break.

Sounds like a fun time is ahead in Florida!!

And hooray for Emma!!!!! 
krisYep, they will be here. Adam moved out of our place and into theirs the begginning of October. He is in EMT school, and wants to do Fire and Medic. She is a nurse at a hospital here. We hope to have them around for a couple years at least. 
nugglefriendcuzSounds like you have some great kids. We are going on a trip the week before Thanksgiving and I cant wait for the break and some relaxation. 
usmc_wifeYay for Emma (and Jake & Alex for good reports) - can someone teach Nic to go potty? 
matermagistraooooooooooh!! Are you going to Disney?! 
matermagistraYAY! for Emma!!!! 
txwhittlecThank you. :) I can't wait to see pics of your cute kids on Halloween. 
krisI know you understand! You guys have been through alot with grandparents over the past years! Looking forward to seeing you guys over Thanksgiving! 
lrfs611i don't believe so. David's (Susan's husband) dad is Pete McKee
