Oreo House with AJ

AJ spent the night Saturday, and I had planned to take him to see Christmas lights.  His idea was much different.... he said, "Just pick up McDonalds while I stay here with Gpa and you can show me pictures of Christmas lights". Yeah....he told me lol! He did build an oreo house.

 

Good-Bye Sweet Archie

I hate to even type this! If you know me, you know how I feel about my cats. Saturday was spent saying good-bye to my senior cat Archie. Archie was our 3rd family cat, the girls brought home a stray female and before too long we had kittens on our porch.  His dad was Arthur another stray that came around.  We kept Archie and I was able to find homes for mom and his litter mates.

Archie did not put up with much, he took off on the porch searching for any stray cat to fight with any time he could get out. He gave the best hugs (with his huge claws), but they were the best, he did not wonder far from me. He is already missed, rest peacefully, Archie. 

AJ's Christmas Program

 

I attended AJ's Christmas program last week.  It was adorable, and AJ did an awesome job.  I have an adorable video but can't get it to download yet.

He is rocking the Sonic hat!

Alexzandrea Sladek, RN

This girl is going to rock as an RN, I am so proud of her, school, work, raising a child and maintaining a household of course with help from Ashton is not easy at all! And she makes all look so easy! The excitement AJ had for her was immeasurable.

It is so nice to sit back and see your child accomplish something they set out to do and make it through all of the obstacles that were placed in front of them and come out on top. 

It was a wonderful ceremony, and I can't wait to see what she does next.  Congratulations, Ali you ROCK!

AJ was the photographer for the evening!  Any photo is not in he probably took it and did a heck of a job!

Poor Roger has not been feeling his best!

SHE DID IT!

 

December Already??

 Ahhhh December!  Not my favorite month weather wise, but oh how I love all the Christmas decorations and celebrations.  And of course, the long break from work and having more time with family.  The "kitty" tree is up, and I have added more decorations since this photo, but so far, the cats are leaving it alone for the most part.

I hope you get much needed rest and time with the ones you love.

Goodbye November

 We had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. It was pretty low key and relaxing.  I had Thanksgiving dinner at Monique's, I had a wonderful time, the food was so yummy, and I always enjoy the company.  I was able to see Kynedy also and get some holiday decorations up!   

We spent Sunday celebrating Thanksgiving with Roger's family.  We got to meet sweet Maisie and AJ had a ball playing with Rosie. We had a great time visiting and catching up, so thankful for all of them! Poor Kynedy had the stomach flu and could not attend.

 My favorite photo of the day! Rosie!

Sweet AJ and my beautiful girl, Ali!

Thank you for hosting, Tracy!

Yummy!

Sweet Maisie and Ali!
