Thanksgiving Vacation Part1

Ok, I took 290 pictures while we were away. Now I'm not posting all of them, but even though I picked and chose the best ones I wanted to show it is still going to take up 6 posts!!!

So get ready for some southern, country, Mississippi fun!!!

Hope playing in the girls laundry basket while I'm packing.

This was amazing. We were approaching a rest stop. I had no intentions of stopping. The girls are sleeping peacefully,AAHHH... and Jeremy asks me if I need to stop. All of a sudden in stead of saying "no", I said, "well... I guess I should check Hopes diaper it's been a little while." So we pull in, wake the girls up and go into the restroom.

Not 5 seconds after we are in there another lady comes in and says, "Oh am I glad to see you, I have been sitting in my car with the doors locked waiting for another lady to come so I didn't have to go in by myself."

Plus the fact that my husband was waiting right outside the door for us helped too. I stood in the restroom and thanked the Lord for allowing me to hear His still small voice. I just thought that was so amazing the Lord worked it all out for that dear lady. We serve a mighty God!!!!

What's that verse? "If you've done it unto the least of these, you've done it unto me"
Just a reminder all my bloggy friends it may seem small and silly, but I bet to that lady it was Big.

Sorry for the rabbit trail....



Ok, we are at some friends house who live on 100 Acres and they need some trees cleared. Well, that works out great because My sis and Bro-in-law need firewood!! So the men and older boys were chopping trees and stacking wood while us women folk were making lunch.

Hallie eating her chicken

Heidi close to the Oreo's (That's my girl!)

Riding down the hill into the woods

Jeremy and his sister Sarah being silly(or should I say normal, he he he)

Hallie taking logs to Daddy that need splitting. Splitting logs is hard work,

makes ya sweat...

Unless it involves hydraulics, LOL!!!

It was pretty neat to watch

Cutie pie Hope

Bob, cutting down another tree

Timberrrrr........!!!!!!!

Jeremy cutting the tree up for fire wood.

He may live in the city, but he's a country boy at heart!!!!

Hallie going with the boys to unload the wood and reload it onto Bob's trailer. The girls had so much fun that day. Actually we all did.

Back at the house Hope tries hide and seek

Hi Hope, try again

Ok, so my SIL is 3 months prego and you know how prego's can be. A little crazy from time to time. I was there (successfully)3 times, so I know. Sometimes we lose it. Well, this was the first for me. She was making Mac N Cheese and wanted to put out some potpourri at the same time, but didn't realize she was mixing the 2 up,LOL!!!

Ok folks, Lunch is ruined, but don't panic. We only have 11 children and 4 Adults to feed and we haven't gone shopping yet, Again No need to panic!!! LOL

Prego is the term we use in our family for pregnant.

I thought it was cute. Hope no one is offended.

Well, it's too late now you may as well have good smelling noodles!!

What, you mean I'm not supposed to climb up on three stacks of milk all by myself and risk falling and hurting myself all for a yummy donut?

Look mom, it's even up my nose!!

Heidi on the swing.

Yes, I know it's for babies, but they took the wood seat off of the other one so now it's just a rope the boys swing from. That didn't work for Heidi so she climbed in.
