Christmas Day

Christmas at Nana's

Christmas at the Martins

This picture was taken before we left for the Martins. Taylor and Tamra always get to open one gift on Christmas Eve while Jared opens all of his gifts from us. He usually spends Christmas with his mother on Christmas day. (small, medium, and large) HA! Taylor is now 6ft 2 and 1/4 inches.......Jared has grown quite at bit as well. I'm not sure exactly how tall he is though.
Amber got Jared a carhardt hat full of money. When he opened it the money all fell out onto the floor.
Everyone standing around watching the kids open presents. Amber, Kenny, Leon, Mamaw Martin, Papaw Martin, and Taylor.........Tamra is opening and I got the back of Laken's head. HA@!
Jonathon and Taylor.......Jonathon opened this gift, men's cologne set, and sprayed it onto Taylor. As he did this Jonathon inhaled and they both just about died from laughing and choking to death! It was quite comical to watch.

My Christmas Tree

Christmas at the Bellamy's

We had Christmas at the Bellamy's on Sunday because Taylor wouldn't be able to be there on Christmas day. We will also be spending time at the Bellamy's on Christmas. Here is a picture of me, Adam, Amber, and Justin.......The grandchildren...........
Here's Taylor and Brian getting their Guitar Hero on..........
The great grandchildren.........
Me and Leon just hanging out.

Congratulations Hornets!

Tamra is the one standing on the far right.
A little blurry but you get the idea. Tamra's team won the Championship this past Saturday at Ewing. The team lost one game the whole season. The tournaments will begin in the new year for the Region champs. They are excited and we were all really proud of them. It has been a great year win or lose. I really enjoyed watching the girls play.

Happy Birthday Mom!

We celebrated Mom's birthday on the 14th with a little cake and ice cream. Grayson was more concerned about 'eating'. HA!

New House

We still need to fill in the area around the house with some dirt but for the most part the house is finished.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a good Thanksgiving with the Martins on Thanksgiving Day. We all left that evening with full belly's! Hope everyone else had a great day as well.

Guys head to Arkansas for hunting trip

LEON, TAYLOR, BRIAN, AND MY STEPDAD, KENNY HEADED TO ARKANSAS ABOUT THREE O'CLOCK THIS MORNING FOR A BIG HUNTING TRIP. KENNY GOES EVERY YEAR BUT DECIDED TO INVITE THE REST OF THE FAMILY THIS YEAR. THE GUYS AT MY HOME WERE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT GOING AND JUST ABOUT DROVE ME CRAZY WITH TALK ABOUT IT. I AM GLAD TO SEE THEM GO AND HAVE FUN. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THEM THIS EVENING. THEY HAVE HUNTED ALREADY AND ARE NOW READY TO HIT THE HAY. THEY WILL BE RETURNING ON WEDNESDAY EVENING.
DON'T ASK ME WHAT THEY ARE HUNTING??!! BIRDS OF SOME SORT! HA!

Tamra

Here's Tamra waiting to play.

Tamra made the Elk Knob Hornets 4th and 5th grade basketball team. She is number 4 and the smallest on the team. The whole team consists of 5th graders who played last year. She is the only 4th grader who made the team. She really loves it. This is our first year of actually traveling to other schools to play. This game with Stickleyville was our first game. I don't remember the score but we beat them. We also played Dryden on saturday but I forgot my camera. Tamra got to play that game as well and we won but I don't remember the score of that one either. HA! I'm too busy watching the game, I suppose. We have another game on monday I will try to remember the score! HA! We play at Rose Hill so I'm dreading the drive!

Jared

Here's Jared standing to the far left of this picture. He was the quaterback for Thomas Walker's JV team.
Jared turning back to hand off to a receiver.
Here's Jared getting his team together for a quick huddle. Can you see the difference in the size of his teammates? He looks quite small!
Football season is now over but we did manage to make it to a couple of Jared's games. It was hard since he traveled so much. We did try to make it to as many games as we could. Now Jared is practicing for Thomas Walkers JV basketball team. He just goes from one sport to another! Shoo!!

PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR
I MADE IT INTO A PICTURE SO I HAD TO POST IT. TAKE A LOOK AT MY SOCKS! THAT'S AS CLOSE AS I CAME TO DRESSING UP FOR HALLOWEEN.
THE CHURCH AT FIRST BAPTIST IN JONESVILLE HAD A TRUNK OR TREAT FOR THE KIDS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS IS A PICTURE OF MY UNCLE KENDALL TALKING TO GRAYSON AS WELL AS KENDALLS WIFE, SHELLEY, BENT DOWN TALKING TO GRAYSON. ANYWAY, KENDALL WAS QUITE FUNNY LOOKING! HE EVEN MADE THE FRONT PAGE OF THE POWELL VALLEY WEEKENDER! HA! TOO FUNNY! OH YEAH, THAT IS MY COUSIN, LAKEN STANDING BESIDE HER DADDY, THE FAT ONE! HA!

Halloween

TAMRA WAS A PIRATE THIS YEAR FOR HALLOWEEN.
AFTER WE HIT THE TOWN OF JONESVILLE EVERYONE MET BACK UP AT MY SISTERS TO HANG OUT AND HAND OUT CANDY. AMBER USUALLY HAS AT LEAST TWO HUNDRED KIDS TRICK OR TREATING AT HER HOUSE.
IN THIS PICTURE AMBER IS HOLDING GRAYSON'S LITTLE FRIEND, EMMA.
GRAYSON WASN'T TOO WILLING TO DRESS UP THIS YEAR SO AMBER HAD TO TRICK HIM INTO DRESSING UP. SHE MADE HIS SHIRT AND HE HAS ON REGULAR BLACK PANTS. SHE ADDED SOME CRAZY HAIR, SOME TATOOS, A BELT, AND A HE HELD A MIRCROPHONE. I GUESS HE WAS A ROCK STAR......HE EVEN HAD A LITTLE GUITAR WHICH SHE MADE. HE WAS CUTE.
HERE'S AMBER FRIENDS HANGING OUT BEFORE IT BECAME REALLY DARK.
