THANKSGIVING DINNER 2011

The kids and I made turkey's and decorated them (they are from a kit similar to a gingerbread house) to take to Bebe's house for decoration. When asked to each give me 2 things they were thankful for the answers were as follows: Cashlen said "Horses and Cowboys!" Caden Jace said, "Halloween and his teachers." and Camen Jude said, "family and Jesus!"
They played outside, played video games, ate turkey dinner and played bingo with Bebe! That equals a super fun day spent with family and cousins!
Swinging in the baby swing, they all still love the baby swing.
Camen, playing tag.

Last Thanksgiving her hair was at her chin, AMAZING! Oh and she was about a foot shorter.
Grandpa carved the turkey in Bebe's amish apron!
Looking for the little elf girl at Bebe's, and her tree is up and gorgeous as usual.
Pop and her went to get some new giant decorations, the kids loved these!!!
Hey Bebe and Pop, did you know the girls were jumping on your bed??? I bet so!
Caden told the story of Thanksgiving and did a wonderful job doing so.
My brothers, Matt and Josh.
The twins eating their meal, the favorite was the turkey and the least fave was the sweet potatoes for Caden cause of the texture and the macaroni was the least fave for Camen, he hates pasta.
My beautiful cousins, all available by the way, (hahahaha Katie) and since I know that cute 20 something year old guys are not reading my blog....maybe you know some good Texas boys!?
Jenn, Dusten and Pop.
Billy, Karen, DJ, Grandpa, Grandma and Joy.
Grandpa and Landon.
The girls stick together.
Buggie on Boo's bike, I think she is getting one soon so they can ride together at Bebe's on a walk next time.
Katelin and Allison and the famous hat! It was another great Turkey Day, and Jenn I will beat you in cards next year so practice up, I will work on my adding skills!

BOBO'S HERE VIDEO! at OneTrueMedia.com

Here is the video of Bobo (Elf on the Shelf) arrival. Before the Elf showed up we were watching the Elf on the Shelf show on CBS and Cashlen was telling me what was going on in the show. She was so cute but running on, well basically juice and no sleep as you can see! The boys were through the roof!

ELF ON THE SHELF, BOBO HAS ARRIVED!

Look who's baaaaaaaaccckkkkk! And Ohmagosh, thank God I checked facebook 5 minutes before the Elf on the Shelf mini movie aired last night on CBS (I had forgotten), it was the most perfect and impeccable timing since he was arriving last night!!!! It was meant to be I tell ya!
Of course Bobo doesn't travel alone, he travels with his cousins....Pip, Squeak, Peppermint Patti and Scout! Bobo is the original elf on the shelf, he is on a top secret mission for Santa and he is a secret agent spy elf, who of course the kids cannot touch! But the cousins are play elves, they are meant to be toted around and cuddled! Each of the cousins arrived with a letter from Santa for each child and Bobo came with his book and a special first gift, Christmas Shrinky Dinks for some fun family time! This is the second year Bobo has arrived in snow from the North Pole, amazing! Pip and Squeak came to the twins last year, but Peppermint Patti and Scout are new this year and came to Cashlen and Cole, Santa is so nice.
Cashlen was beyond thrilled, I was LOVING her reaction this year, she is sooooo into it! You should have seen her when the boy touched Chippy in the Elf on the Shelf show last night, she almost burst into tears!
Camen was soooooo hilarious, I will put the video on soon, it's too cute!
Look Mommy, Peppermint "Atti" can stand!
Reading the story. The twins haven't put the cousins down, not barely once!


The Happy Happy trio!
Oh, peppermint rides horses like Cashy too! I am just as excited as the kids, I love this sweet tradition!

THANKFUL FOR CADEN at OneTrueMedia.com

Caden told the story of Thanksgiving that he learned at school in front of lots of people before prayer. Sadly the background talking was loud and he got a little distracted from finishing the story the way he usually does, but I was so proud of him for wanting to do that and he did amazing!

SANTA'S WONDERLAND 2011

Pop is always teaching Mr Camen stuff, like how to speak in different languages, how to be a business man and how to stand in yoga positions. As you can see he is taking to "Pop's teachings"
My little model.
The kids adopted Mamaw. (Blair's grandma)
Landon's California grandma is in town too! (I can't remember her official grandma name)
When you first walk in a snaow machine kicks on to set the mood, it is so cool and makes you feel like Christmas!
As you can see the kids LOVE it!
Camen dancin' on a stump!
Running joyously through the snow.

Getting ready to take the SANTA picture! I will post that in another post and tell the details of that along with the picture.
The real reindeer, he was so cool. Caden wanted to know why his nose wasn't red, I told him because he wasn't Rudolph, but that he did know Rudolph. That made him really happy to know that he knew him!
Yeehaw Caden Jace!

Mr Camen's turn!

Sissy watching her bull riding brothers.
The Landon Grandma's!
Our 2011 picture for Christmas, it may be the only one we get!

Cashy and Blair, we have yet to get a recent good picture of these 2 little cuties!
Randy with one of his new twins.
The twin club, funny story.....When Leslie and I met she wanted to have twins sooooo badly and actually prayed for them. One day before my twins turned 2 she rode with us to Toys R Us and after that trip she didn't really want to have twins anymore. We have babies around the same age that are nearly 3 years old and then her next pregnancy, to everyones surprise was TWIN BOYS! It is a really cool story and their names are Kane and Zane, I cannot tell them apart!
Running to the hayride to see the million billion lights!!!



This poor guy Garrett, the twins just loved him and followed him everywhere.
My favorite scene!
