Thanksgiving Weekend!

Kade and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, fun filled with lots of family involved! I hope all of you did as well! We went and cut ourselves a cute, short, fat Christmas tree! I love it! It has so much personality! And I can't wait to decorate it! What a great time of year, I love Christmas and all the holidays! And I love being with family!

This is the bottom of our cute, fat, short tree! :)

Camie made this teeny tiny snowman and gave him a spike for hair. It was awesome.

This was one of the tree being cut, we had to shake the snow off. Fun times!

Church News:)

So here's the latest news with the Church's. Its been a while since I've posted, and a lot of these pictures are even from a few weeks ago:) but, life gets busy as we all know:) So the above pic is of Kade and I on our way home from Arkansas, when we went up over the mountain, to go down into Fairview! It was definately a beautiful view that I will never take for granted! We love Love LOVE our mountains!!!!! The fall colors were a wonderful welcome home, thats for sure! And we decided we'd better sport the good ol Arkansas Razorbacks shirts!
Our family happen to have our sheduled turn at the Cook family cabin so we were able to go and stay a week up there, and that was so much fun! We went for a fun hike to see the Elk up on the side hill:) As we were walking back to the truck from our hike, I told Kade to pose for the camera......so this is what I got.

The girls and I were able to go to the gem fair, which is always a hit! The gem fair comes 3 times a year so we all try to get together and go:) Lots of fun jewelry and fun times with the gals!

More pics of, up at the cabin. We had lots of yummy breakfasts! MM MM!

So my mom told us to each write our name on our cup so we wouldn't be going through a million cups. My dad wrote"vip cup, no exceptions" on his and I did'nt think that was very true so I decided to one up him:)

This was a beautiful view of the cabin from on our hike.

I love the fall colors! They are my favorite.

Kade was able to take a little Moab trip with a bunch of buddies from APX and...........yes they had lots of fun! When there is motorized vehicles and dirt involved, they are bound to have some fun!

Feeding the Geese!

Kade and I went to a park the other day and it was a really nice park, with lots of Geese. We sat by the bank of the water and the geese started coming over to us, and we had nothing to give them. Kade started flicking his hand like he was throwing stuff which of course made them think we had food. Pretty soon they realized it was'nt the real deal and they left. So the next day we decided to take bread to them to make up for their disappointment:) I have never fed a bird before out of my hand. It was kinda scarey! I wasn't going to do it, and Kade made me. He also said look at the camera when the bird take the bread out of your hand! So you'll see that pic below.
There was a little turtle just hanging out so I thought I would grab a quick snap of him.

There were a ton of geese! They just flocked around me!

A little up close and personal:)

There was one bird that was not scared of me and would get as close as he needed too! He is the one that ate out of my fingers!

I was scared! Kade told me to just look at the camera that everything would be ok! LOL

I love baby chicks! They are so dang cute!

My Lima Bean Wreath!

Okay, so I saw this cute idea online and decided that I loved it! I just got lima beans and a styrofoam wreath and glued the lima beans on the wreath. It was super easy. I will say that you do use quite a bit of glue and it does take some time. I bet it took me about 4 hours to make it, not including the time to spray paint it. But glue is super cheap. And I got the wreath half off at Micheals so it ended up costing me 5.80 (I think) for the wreath. I got the large size, but there is a medium one that I think would be really cute too. Infact, I'm going to make me one out of the medium, this one is for my mom for her B-day:) I think a yellow wreath with some kind of brown and turquoise ribbon would be so cute!
Half way there!

Almost done!

I spray painted the wreath red because we just painted my moms kitchen red and I thought it would look cute hanging on her front door as you come in the house!

For You Sweet Home Alabama Lovers!

Well, about a week ago we moved again:) From El Dorado to Texarkana. But that was the last move till we come home! Which is in 11 days! yippee! Can't wait to see everyone! On our way to Texarkana, we saw this store called the Piggly Wiggly and I immediately thought of the movie "Sweet Home Alabama" with Reese Witherspoon in it! So I had to snap a pic!!! There is a line in the movie when she shows up on her husbands door step to serve him divorce papers and she says, "What, did they run out of soap down at the Piggly Wiggly since I left!" LOL! I love it! There you have it, there really are Piggly Wiggly's out here in the south!

Kade's Lunch

Its been a bit since I've blogged, we have been moving and moving and moving! LOL. But we are almost done. We have 4 more weeks left and then we are homeward bound! Technically the season is over for Kade's work but we have decided to extend for 4 weeks. So for now we live in hotels, and move around quite a bit. It will be nice to get home and see the family, but we are doing great! I've been able to hang out with Kade a bit more lately because his areas (for work) are really close. He came home for lunch the other day, but he had called before he came and asked if we should eat out or if we should stay and eat the stuff we had in the hotel fridge. I told him that we could do sandwhiches and yogurts and that I had a half a cantaloupe that he could eat. He said, "oh yum and I can put ice cream in the middle!" I guess it was something that his dad had done growing up, and I'm surprised at how good it is! So that was Kade's yummy Saturday lunch! LOL

And ofcourse he had to have chocolate syrup on it too! Kade is my chocolate man!

Random US!

Okay! I'm warning you now, this post is HUGE! It really is so long BUT its all stuff that I've been wanting to post but havent yet, stuff that Kade and I have been doing out here in good ol Arkansas so here's the whole shibang! The above pic is Kade doing the Christy Yamaguchi, which only the Church family would understand, but its funny to watch him!! He usually does this trick on the trampoline!
This pic (Above) is of some of Kade's team members from the gladiator games that they did throughout last week! And Kades team won yeah!!!! They did these fun games to get some competition in the office going on, and the games consited of Relay races on foot and which scooters in the parking lot, a HIT of a golf ball (to see who could get closest), Joseph Smith stick pole game, slip n slide baseball, and the watermelon challege! The watermelon challenge was my favorite to watch! It was soooooo funny! They grease a watermelon and throw it in the pool and the teams have to fight to get it to their side of the pool.
Slip n slide baseball!

Go team VENOM!!!! Kade is really working on his gut! Its gotten a lot smaller!

Lipstick really comes in handy!

This was on the way home from church the other day, I just happen to have a camera and we got a little carried away! And some of them, were way to ugly to post, so I kept them to myself! LOL!

Kade is a man of many faces!

This is Kade's sexy face!

Hey! Half way normal!

This was our way fun date night! Kade took me to Jasons deli and then to ECLIPSE!!!! I havent seen it yet and I LOVED it!!!! Very good! He's such a sport to go sit through it with me! I love him!

Ice cream! MMMMM!

This is our mantis friend! He wanted to move into our spare room, he said he would kill all of the spiders for me in exchange for his stay! But.....I ended up deciding that wouldnt me a good idea, that I would just continue making Kade kill the spiders for me! But really this Praying Mantis was on my door step for a good two days! In the same spot, wouldnt move!

Us and our mantis friend! He did end up moving up to the window! :)

This was a flower I made, yep, got the idea from Janessa! It looks so cute in hair or on a necklace! Or clipped on a jacket!

This is our apartments that we are in currently. I have really loved them! Above is the clubhouse and pool area.

This is a view out the back balcony of down the street!

This is out our front door. It has been fun living on a golf course! We will miss it! :)

Girls Night Out!!!!!

So a lot of the wives did a girls night out at Orange Mango! LOVE THAT PLACE! MM MM!!! And it was so so fun, we were all laughing so hard! We talked about kids, husbands, wedding rings, and the boot that got put on Tara's van that night:( Seriously..........those boot companies make a killing! And I'm sure they sit there and watch out the windows, just waiting for someone to pull in, so they can make some money! But, it was still a FUN, very much needed night! Thanks everyone!
