Arkansas

MY MEN LEFT FOR ANOTHER BIRD HUNTING TRIP.  THEY WERE SCHEDULED TO LEAVE TUESDAY BUT KENNY GOT ALL EXCITED AND CHANGED THE PLANS TO TODAY.  THEY LEFT LEE COUNTY AT AROUND TWO TODAY AND ARRIVED IN ARKANSAS AROUND TEN THIRTY.  TAMRA AND I WILL BE HANGING OUT AT THE HOUSE ALL ALONE THIS WEEK!  WE WILL BE DOING GIRL THINGS SUCH AS CLEANING, COOKING, AND SHOPPING!  HA!  WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS EXCEPT TO GET THE HOUSE IN ORDER.  I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS WITHOUT MY MEN IN THE HOUSE FOR A FEW DAYS.  SO, THIS HAS WORKED OUT TO MY GOOD.  MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!  LOL!

Baby shots

Thanksgiving pictures of the babies.
Christmas pictures of the babies.  She doesn't seem to be to much farther out but I do notice the belly has become bigger around.  

Martin Swap

Laken stole a present from me that was full of candy.  This is her eating a huge piece of chocolate.  Even her mother was a little shocked!
Jonathon must have been good this year!  He got a Christmas kiss from his aunt Sue.
Grayson and Mommy make a great picture.
The girls are to young for the swap so they made gingerbread men.  

At the Bellamy's

We had a good time Christmas Day at Granny's.  We ate dinner, played Trivial Pursuit, and enjoyed opening presents known as the Chinese swap/or whatever your family may call it.  We actually call it the Bellamy swap but to each their own!  HA!  It is always fun to watch someone taking gifts because it can get crazy sometimes.  The men are always on the hunt for a new knife!  The women?  We just look for something we may like.  Amber ended up with some White Diamond perfume!  HA!  She was in heaven I am sure.  HA!

The guys

Just acting crazy!  Showing Leon's "What's up!"  HA!

Tamra

Elk Knob Basketball 08'

Tamra sweats with the best of them!


Just a few photos taken this basketball season.  Tamra is an excellent little ball player she plays guard and rarely ever sits down to rest.  Her last ballgame was on the 18th where she ended with a black eye.  If you notice some of the Christmas pictures taken her left eye looks a little black.  A little girl elbowed her right under her eye but Tamra kept going.  They are off for the holidays but will be playing in a tournament around mid January.

Taylor During Play Practice

I wanted to share my son's gift to sing.  I used my camera to record this song he sang for the Christmas play.  He is singing with a girl from our church, Lindsey Taylor.  I was in the choir so I could only get their backs.  In the background you will hear my stepdad, Kenny, who is the choir director.  He will be yelling out some of the words because he forgot to bring the singers their lyrics.  The church video taped the actual Christmas play so as soon as I get a copy I plan to send it to family.  It was really good.  Anyway, push play and enjoy!
