Relaxing Week

Ryan's Team Wins AGAIN!  26 games in a row.  3 more wins and he will be wearing another state ring!  I am so proud of him. The kids love so much to be at the games.  Although Blake spends the entire game asking if it's time for him to go on the field and play football.  Both Kenedy and Blake really live for the end of the game, when they can hug Ryan and then run out on the field and do their own thing. Kenedy tumbles on the field and Blake runs with the football scores touchdowns and tackles anyone he can find.  Here is Blake enjoying Papa So glad Mimi and Papa were at the game!

Okay so other than Bulldog football we really have not done a whole lot this week.  I cooked Thanksgiving on Thursday, Friday night we were at a football game cheering on the dawgs, and then On Saterday our big excitment was that we had a racoon in our back yard.  I have never actually seen a racoon up close until now.  I never knew they were so big.  This one was apparently sick because he was not scared of us or the dogs.  (dont worry Re I kept the dogs in the house once I knew he was out there)  I took some pictures out the window of my dining room and wanted to share them with you

Ryan did manage to get him out of the back yard and no one was hurt (well maybe the raccoon!)

AN Early Thanksgiving

Thursday night Carthage had a community Pep Rally to cheer the bulldogs on.  This is Blake all fired up ready to take on the Mexia Bearcats!  Carthage did win Friday night 35 to 26.  It was our closest game of the season.  Mexia was awesome!  Ryan thinks I'm a dork because I always feel sad for the other team.  It's not that I want to loose BECAUSE I ALWAYS WANT US TO WIN.  It's just that when the other team is really good I feel bad that their hard work didnt pay off. I'm so proud for Ryan and all the other Bulldogs cant wait for another State Win!

After the game in Forney the Kids and I headed to Killeen for an Early Thanksgiving.  Tony, Deb, Leslie and Grandpa all have to work on Thanksgiving day (so sad for them)  So we decided to have Thanksgiving on Sunday.  Ryan missed out since he had to work this week (cant give those bulldogs any time off )  Here is Baby Troy at his 1st Thanksgiving!

You cant tell but he really did like the mashed potatoes and Sweet potatoes! 

Here is Jake and Kenedy being silly outside (Blake was running Fever due to double ear infections :((  )

Once Blake had some antibotics in his system and we got his fever under control we took our yearly trip to see Santa Clause and get a picture, The Santa People would not let me use my own camera even though I dropped a small fortune on their pictures so here are the kids without Santa.  Just close your eyes and

pretend he is there.

notice how no one will look at the camera but Kenedy!  The one with Santa actually turned out pretty cute though.

In the Car on the way home I took the kids pictures one last time ( I was safely stopped at a red light so dont

worry!)  I could not get Troy before the light turned green (safety first :))

Visit to Gmoms

Kenedy had her fall festival at school here are some action shots of her in 2 relay races.

Wow Baby look at that Hair

Well the Bulldogs won agian Friday 48 to zero, Playoffs start Friday Night. I am so excited and proud of Ryan. We have a good chance of going all the way to state! Sorry there are no pictures from Friday nights game but the kids and are went to visit GMOM and Papa. We had a great time.

Here's My Jake showing his thoughts on me taking his picture.!

Troy really likes to be outside. Here is is with Blake and Troy hanging out under the tree, and Kenedy loving on him. She was a great babysitter.

Kenedy was playing with Troy and she put the burp cloth on his head and then shouted look he looks like baby Jesus! I included a picture so you can see. Mom and I both thought it was funny but when Troy tried to take it off his head and his hands are up Kenedy said he looked like he was praising, I had to laugh. Tony and Deb I promise he was not being tortured he loved the game!

Of course I had to get one of all of them together:

Not the greastest picture but trying to take a picture with a 5 month old, a 3 year old who likes to be silly, and an 8 year old boy who I had to pay just to get him to sit on the couch with the others, was no easy task. Kenedy was the only one who loved every second of it!
