Parents heading back to Kentucky!!

So, Sunday morning we had a nice big breakfast together and went for a stroll around the neighborhood. Then Mom and Dad had to hit the road for their long trip back home. We all said our very sad goodbye's, we will miss them!

Alana The Rockstar and her Groupies Aunt Vanessa & Uncle Ben

Alana loves to spend time with her Aunt Vanessa and her Uncle Ben. Whenever she gets the chance she is having them read her a story, draw pictures and play chase through the living room! She even got to have a sleep over with them on Sunday and she was so excited she wanted to go to sleep all day! The next morning I asked her how her sleepover was and with a big smile on her face she said "It was Wonderful!!" She is to cute! The picture with just Alana is her in the outfit that her Uncle Ben picked out for her and she just loved it!

Our Fun filled Saturday!!!

Our Saturday was busy busy busy and so much fun! We stayed in our pj's till noon and then we all got ready to go to lunch at Zaxby's! The family hung out at the mall for a while before going back home to start cooking our Thanksgiving dinner which ended up being a lot of fun! We had a delicious dinner that we were all very thankful for. After dinner we visited and played games, it was a blast! The picture of Vanessa and I on the floor was part of our game, we had to stand up without using our hands with frogs on our heads for the win of the game ( boys against girls of coarse) HeHeHe...and this picture is our winning moment, Yeah us!!! That was our Saturday!! Still more to come...

The Arrival......yeah us!!!!

So, Vanessa and Ben arrived last night at about 6:30pm and we got them from the airport in Atlanta!! Very exciting. We went for some dinner and then drove back to our house for the evening of visiting and catching up. My parents were on the road from Kentucky to get to our house as well and arrived later at 11:30. we were all very excited to be together and we stayed up very late to chat (1:30) We are still in our pj's blogging so we have to go get dressed. We are having a full day today so there will be more to follow.........

My Parents are in Kentucky now!!!

We went to my parent house Friday and got there about 6:30 after about a 6 hour drive. My Dad and Al did some unloading and us girls did the cleaning of the kitchen and a few other things. Then back to the hotel to get some rest for a full days work ahead. We got up Saturday morning about 6:30 and I was not feeling good. We loaded up the room my parents had been staying in and headed to the house to start moving them in. They had 2 trucks to unload. Quite a few guys from the church showed up to help and the job got done quickly!! Needless to say, I was in bed with the stomach flu all day Saturday and no help at all. I felt completely useless. So Sheena and my mom started in the kitchen and things were underway. My dad and Al were busy getting beds and rooms set up a bit for the 1st night stay in the new house. After a good nights sleep I was feeling much better so we tackled the rest of the kitchen and got the job done. Over all the house is very nice and in a very nice location. They are putting new flooring in and painting the master bedroom, but it is going to be GREAT!! It's going to be nice to have them a little closer, ONLY 6 hours as opposed to 20 hours! Yeah.............

Our day at the Canyon/park

We went for a drive to Providence Canyon and it was beautiful. The leaves were all changing and the colors were amazing!! Alana was not feeling that well and starting running a fever that day. Over all we had a good day and of course the playground was Alana's favorite part!

Mushroom "Search & Destroy"

Alana found this very strange mushroom, so she went and got her golf clubs to " take care of it". She was on a mission! She whacked that mushroom over and over again. The weird thing was, it would put this smoky dust into the air each time she hit it. Al took the hose to her beaten down mushroom, talk about a huge cloud of mushroom dust and then it vanished into thin air. It was like the wicked witch on the Wizard of Oz when she was melting! We were all quite entertained......
