CALEB AND BELLA WERE ON CLEAN UP CREW.

DEBBIE LOOKED GREAT ON HER NIGHT!

DEBBIE AND HER ROSE... BELLA. SWEET COUSINS

BASKETBALL VICTORY - THESE ARE THE CUTE GIRLS ON MY B-BALL TEAM. THEY ARE ALL AWESOME. WE FINISHED THE SEASON 13 - 1. DISTRICT WAS 10 - 0. LAST YEAR WE HAD A RECORD OF 11-3. AWESOME HUH? I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THIS GROUP WILL DO IN HIGH SCHOOL.

DEBBIE'S CELEBRATION WAS AT THE JALEPENO TREE IN CARTHAGE. THEY ARE A CUTE COUPLE.

LARRY, DEBBIE & THE KIDS.

THE GIRLS, STEPHANIE AND ASHLEY.

THE ALFORD CREW.

THE DALLAS WEEKEND. WE WANTED TO TAKE A MINI TRIP WITH OUR FRIENDS, JEFF AND STEPHANIE. CALEB WAS ON HIS WAS TO GO SWIM!

WE LEFT TOWN AFTER WE WON MY BASKETBALL TOURNEY.

WE STOPPED BY THE DISNEY STORE!

WE RODE THE MARRY GO ROUND.

DADDY GAVE CALEB A RIDE ON THE BUGGY. SO MUCH STUFF FOR 2 NIGHTS!

WE WENT TO EAT HAMBURGERS AT JOE'S CRAB SHACK. NICE CHOICE OF MEAL HUH?

THE DALLAS WORLD AQUARIUM.

THE BOYS WERE CHECKING OUT THE HUGE FISH IN THE AQUARIUM TANK 3 FLOORS BELOW.
I THOUGHT THIS WA A GOOD FAMILY SHOT THAT A PERFECT STRANGER TOOK.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND UNDER THE SEA!

I LOOKS LIKE I'M FALLING OUT OF THE SEA.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AQUARIUM THERE WAS A FLOCK OF FLAMENGOS.

AT THE END OF THE MONTH WE TOOK THE BASKETBALL TEAM TO THE MUD HUT. CALEB MADE HIS FIRST TILE BY HIMSELF... ALMOST.

THESE ARE THE CUPCAKES THAT I MADE FOR MY B-BALL TEAM. DEBBIE HELPED ME MAKE THE BUTTERFLY WINGS.

HERE IS CALEB GOING TO SCHOOL WITH HIS NEW FARM LUNCH BOX. NOTICE THAT HE HAS HIS PASSY. WELL AT THE END OF THIS JANUARY WEEK MAMA FORGOT TO SEND THE PASSY WITH GRANDMOMMY TO DAY CARE. SO WE FIGURED IT WAS TIME TO TRY TO LOSE IT SO WE COULD GET RID OF THAT HORRIBLE RASH HE HAD ON HIS FACE. IT WORKED.

HERE WAS A SUNDAY DINNER AT THE PEURIFOY PLACE. OUR GUEST OF HONOR WAS GAGA DEBBIE.

SHE HELPED ME MAKE THE BUTTERFLIES THAT AFTERNOON.

JANUARY WAS VERY BUSY AS YOU CAN SEE.

TOUR DE PEURIFOY- CHRISTMAS STOP #3 "THE PRUITT'S"

OK, SO THIS IS A LONG POST BECAUSE OF ALL THE PICTURES. IT TOOK ME A COUPLE OF DAYS TO GET IT ALL ON HERE, BUT I ENJOY LOOKING AT MY BABY.
WE JUST HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL TWO WEEKS IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I LOVE MY TWO BOYS AND WE JUST HAD THE MOST FUN. I LIKE BEING A MOM AND WIFE AND NOT HAVING TO WORK. THAT WOULD BE A FUN LIFE!

CHRISTMAS DAY
MOM, DAD, AMY, MARILYN AND LARRY CAME OVER AT 7:30 AM TO HAVE BREAKFAST AND WATCH CALEB OPEN HIS PRESENTS FROM SANTA.
CALEB WASN'T SURE HE WANTED TO GET UP THIS EARLY BUT...

ONCE THE GRANDMA'S CAME IN THE ROOM TO HELP WAKE HIM UP HE WAS EXCITED!

LOOK AT THESE GREAT SHIRTS! RICKY GOT THEM FOR EVERYONE ALL THE GIRLS HAVE "NAUGHTY" AND ALL THE GUYS HAVE "NICE".

CALEB LOOKS LIKE HE'S WRITING A NOTE TO SANTA!

HERE'S CALEB WITH HIS FAVORITE PRESENT. NOT THE ELMO LIVE, THE TRAIN, THE BALL, THE CARS OR THE BOOKS... IT'S THE BROOM. THE LITTLE KID'S BROOM.

GOOD MORNING MARY SUNSHINE!

TIME TO GET UP BIG BOY! SANTA CAME TO VISIT US LAST NIGHT!

JILLY'S CHECKING CALEB OUT, HE COULDN'T WALK IN HIS NEW RAIN BOOTS.

HE DID HAVE A WONDERFUL REACTION TO ELMO LIVE. WE LAUGHED AS HE OOOED AND AAAHHHED.

CALEB GAVE DAD A FATHER SON SNOW GLOBE.

I GOT THE LAST OF THE HARRY POTTER TALES, A FAIRY TAIL BOOK. I ALSO GOT A COOK CUP-CAKE BOOK AND DIMOND EARINGS. AWESOME BABY!

CALEB GAVE AUNT AMY A MUG AND A PUZZLE WITH ALL THE NIECES AND NEPHEWS ON IT.

I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD TRADE T-SHIRTS. DAD WAS CRAZY ON CHRISTMAS.

CALEB WAS HELPING ME FIND ANOTHER PRESENT FROM SANTA.

WE WENT TO THE PRUITT'S AROUND 9:OO. AS IS OUR TRADITION RICKY READ THE CHRISTMAS STORY AND WE EACH GOT TO ADD A CHARACTER TO THE NATIVITY. I THINK CALEB HERE IS ABOUT TO KIDNAPP MARY. HE LOVES MARY! WE HAVE THE NATIVITY CHARACTERS IN A BOX AND HE PICS OUT MARY EVERYTIME!

RICKY IS READING FOR THE FAMILY, BUT IF YOU COULD SEE AT HIS FEET COOPIE AND CALEB ARE INVADING THE STABLE.

LARRY AND MARILYN JOINED US FOR A LITTLE WHILE. CALEB LOVES MA' AND GRANDPA ROPER.

I WILL MISS CHRISTMAS AT CINDY & RICKY'S HOUSE. I HAVE ENJOYED ALL THE CHRISTMAS MORNINGS WHEN THE GIRLS COME DOWN THE HALL TO FIND THAT SANTA CAME. NOTICE THAT ALL THEIR SHIRTS SAY "NICE".

HE LOVES THIS TRAIN! ASHLEY GAVE IT TO HIM AND HE TAKES IT APART AND I HELP HIM PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.

HERE WE ARE AT THE PRUITT'S WATCHING ALL THE KIDS OPEN THEIR PRESENTS. COOPIE GOT AN ELMO TOO AND CALEB WAS FACINATED. COOPER WAS SCARED!

HERE'S AMY HELPING THE GIRLS OPEN THIER PRESENTS!

CINDY WHAT'S GOING ON? SHE WAS HELPING COOPIE OPEN HIS PRESENTS.

WE JUST SAT AND WATCHED THE KIDS. IT WAS FUN.

LOOKS LIKE THE PEURIFOY'S WERE WORN OUT!

AFTER THE DEVO, SANTA AND BRUNCH. CHRIS, CALEB AND I WENT HOME FOR A NAP. CHRIS RETURNED TO THE PRUITT'S AND HELPED PACK THE MOVING VAN. THEY WERE GETTING READY FOR THE MOVE THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS.

I GOT THE CHANCE TO WARM UP FOOD FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYONE CAME TO DINNER AFTER EVERYTHING WAS PACKED AWAY. DAD, COOPIE AND CRAIG ENJOY A JOKE.

RICKY y CINDY FINALLY RELAX. I ALREADY MISS THEM!

GRANDMOMMY HELPS ME FEED THE BOY HIS DINNER.

AUBREY AND LOLO EAT SOME SNACKS OFF THE TABLE.

COOPIE AND CALEB EXPLORE UNDER THE TREE.

WE TOOK THIS PICTURE WHEN EVERYONE WENT HOME. KATY IS RUNNING AROUND AND WON'T GET IN THE PICTURE. CHECK OUT LAST YEARS PICTURE!

THE AFTER PARTY

ONCE THE PRUITT'S AND COOPER'S WENT HOME AMY STAYED WITH US AND WE PLAYED WITH CHRIS'S NEW TOY - THE DISK GOLF BASKET. CALEB STAYED UP WITH US.

AMY AND I RAN AROUND WITH CALEB SWEEPING WITH HIS BROOM.

OPPS! AMY AND JANET GOT PUT OUT OF PLACE. THEY WERE AT OUR DINNER PARTY AS WELL.

WE HAD AN AWESOME CHRISTMAS SEASON.

WE LOVED OUR TIME OFF. I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT VACATION LIKE WE DID. THANKS FOR READING MY FAMILY BLOG. I KNOW I DON'T UPDATE AS OFTEN AS I WOULD LIKE, BUT MAYBE NEXT YEAR I'LL GET BETTER... OH WAIT! THIS IS NEXT YEAR!
