A night out!!!

Very seldom do we (all parents) get a night out kidless :) This past Saturday night was mine a Casey's first "date night" since our anniversary last year.... I know we should get out more by ourselves but for some odd reason, we just love our kids going everywhere we go!! We talk about "dates" all the time but thats as far as it goes. We went to Heads or Tails this past Saturday night to celebrate one of my best friends 30th birthday. It was a surprise party and let me just tell you she was definitely surprised to see 15 of her closest family and friends all at the same place just for her!!

We love you Lauren!!

Nothing beats a Sugarbaker's cake!!!

It was a great nite with friends and hopefully we can do it again SOON!!!

Have a great holiday week and I will be back with LOTS of family pictures from our 3 different Thanksgivings!!! We are truly blessed!!

The Perfect Tree!!

For the first time in my life, we will be getting a REAL Christmas Tree!!! I am excited and nervous all at the same time.... I mean what if I kill it the week after I put it up.... What will I do then??? I have received great advise on how to keep it alive sooooo we will soon see!!

We went down past Moselle to Smith Tree Farm this past Sunday and "tagged" our perfect tree. Believe me, we rode around forever and looked at alot of trees but we finally found the one!!

 So many to choose from!!!

 All 4 of us were excited about our new adventure... but i have to say, I seemed to be the MOST excited!!!

I LOVE Christmas time!! We are decorating the inside of our house this weekend so that when we pick our tree up Thanksgiving Day, all we will have to do it decorate the tree!!!

Today was East Jones "Thanksgiving Lunch". Me and Casey are very thankful that we both have jobs that allow us to take a long lunch and enjoy this time with Anna... The dressing was actual VERY good!!!

Have a blessed weekend!!!!



Wrapping up October....

Here are a few photos of our family outings and festivities during the end of October. It is officially "holiday season" so LOTS of activities, family functions and pictures will be coming over the next few months!!!

Our Family Pumpkins.... (left) Anna & Casey's, (right) Mine and Cayson's

 Making Strides Breast Cancer Walk in Hattiesburg

These have become some of my BEST friends over the past few years!!!

Fall Festival at Journey Church (this is my trunk or treat)

 The winners of best decorated booth!!!

 After our fall festival at Journey, we traveled down the road to Bethlehem's festival (which is where both the kids go to daycare). Needless to say we were all pooped when we got home!!!

 The MooChoo.... Best invention!!!

 Anna's NeNe (Denisea Marengo) had a very rare surgery last week to remove a malignant tumor from her tongue. The word "cancer" and "nene" in the same sentence has terrified Anna. She had the surgery last Thursday and is doing very well!! We went to see her before she had to leave for Jackson and to get the kids Halloween treats!!

 Even though this is Anna's aunt on her mom's side, NeNe still treats Cayson just like one of her own which means alot to me.... and he loves it!!! When Anna gets a happy from NeNe, Cayson gets one too!!!

Trick or Treating

(not sure what is up with Anna's eyes :) )

 What a cute Dragon (Zachary Parnell)

 My little Green Lantern

 He's done!!

 My sweet grandad!!

My litte witch was somewhat prissy that night!!

Her Nana had her pose when we got to her house... but this wasn't the first one of the night!!

Have a great week!!! Be back soon!!!
