Christmas at the Speaks

Here are some pictures of our Christmas with Mitch's family in Montgomery.

The family playing Dirty Santa

Taylor, Sarah Jane, Lesley, Bella, Mitch

Braxton got an Xbox from Santa and we got him this chair that has speakers in it.

He loved it!

He was so cute playing and blaring the music on it.

This was actually taken a few months ago, but I love this picture!

This picture of Mitch and his granddad was taken last Christmas.

He passed away in July.

He was missed very much this Christmas!!

I was so tired of our engagement pictures I got my cousin Allen to take some new pictures of me and Mitch. Mitch was really looking forward to taking this pictures ;) Here are some of the ones from the picture session we had last week.

So much to do...

I know... I am a blog-slacker! I really do have some fun things I would love to blog about, but no time!

Here are a few of the big things we did in October:

Sarah's 25th Birthday + Limo ride to Destin= GREAT TIME!!

(good job Justin!)

Hosting a Halloween Bar party for Meg and Nutt....

Halloween Dress up Party for Emily and Sonny...

This is the only picture I could find.

I was Princess Peach and Mitch was Mario.

November has been made up of high school football games, other showers, Mitch's pee-wee football games, Troy football games, Bunco, AJWC meetings and fundraisers. Then I have my regular weekly things like work, painting (which you can see at Howell's Nursery), spending times with Ollie, Bella and Mitch, hanging out with family and friends, ect.

Sorry, I don't have time for all of these fun pictures... I will try to be better at posting regularly!

You've Got a Friend in Me

At my parents house, Lexi and Bella get to stay outside on the porch a lot since it can be closed off. Bella loves to be around people, so she is usually outside and Lexi will go in or out depending on her mood. My parents leave the front door cracked so the dogs can push the door open and go inside. When they are inside they can't get the door open, so they will bark forever until you let them back out. Since Lexi is usually the one barking, my parents have taught Bella how to push open the door for Lexi and let her out. We want to get a good video and send it to America's Funniest Home Videos!

This video was taken at night time and I was recording on my phone, so it isn't very good.

But it is still very cute!

Like a Kid on Christmas....

 This weekend is the opening weekend of bow season and my husband is SO excited. Mitch got all of his hunting things out of storage and organized it in the "right" bags. All of his hunting clothes have been washed in scent-away and his bow has been sighted in. Also, all of his hunting clothes still fit (yes he put them on) and the deer grunter works (I heard it all night). It was funny when I came in the door the other day and he was sitting on the chair with all of his hunting equipment around him. I had to take a picture. I am sure this is how he looked when he was a child on Christmas Day!
