Catch up!

Time for another catch up post! haha! All I have time for!

I mentioned in the last post that we have moved! Hubs was feeling cramped in the old house. Everyone had their own room except for Mia and Reece who shared a room. But we just needed more space! We found a house not too far from where the other one was and it has TONS of space. Everyone has their own room, the littles have a playroom and the teenagers have their own den AND THEIR OWN WASHER AND DRYER! AMEN. We are pretty much moved except for the animals, y'all know they are coming with me anywhere I go! The chicken coop and goat pen are under construction and hopefully they can join us soon!

I WILL DIE IN THAT HOUSE. NEVER moving again!!! Josh agrees.

While packing for the move Brooks decided to slice his thumb wide open with a pocket knife. He snuck and got it from Josh's things. We were about to leave to head to one of Peyton's football games, Josh wasn't even at home. It was so bad I could see bone. I threw him in the car, sat Griffin beside him to hold pressure and got us to the doctor as fast as I could. I forgot my shoes in the process. oops. Josh met us there. It took 4 people to hold him down. He got himself 6 stitches. This is the second time he has had to have stitches. But, who is counting.

We recently celebrated Big Mama's 90th birthday!! We had a party for her and there ended up being 100+ people there! We only invited immediate family and church family! She is so loved! She loves so many people!!

Happy Birthday Big Mama!

Today is Big Mama’s 87th birthday! I love her more than anything! I call her anytime I need advice on anything and everything…she knows it ALL! We had a fancy lunch at Kozy’s and then I’m sure she was off to Walmart! My sister and I picked a card that said, “Happy 21st Birthday!” so she got a kick out of that!!

Happy Birthday Big Mama!!

Halloween

Yea, just now getting to this. Oops.

Halloween was a rainy one this year! We still had fun! We have started going to my sister’s neighborhood to trick or treat each year since we don’t live in a neighborhood anymore. It’s a win-win because all the cousins get to trick or treat together! We also continued our tradition of stopping by Big Mama’s house! She looks forward to that every year! 

As soon as Reece found out that my little nephew, Noah, was going to be Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates, she wanted to be Izzy! Then I just decided it would be too cute if Brooks was Scully! Peyton was a knight and Griffin just wore a skin suit. Those things weird me out! B’s first Halloween! Fun times!

Happy Birthday Big Mama!

Happy 85th Birthday to one of my most favorite people EVER, BIG MAMA! If you’ve read here long or if you know me in real life…then you know who Big Mama is! I’m convinced she is THE sweetest, most kind, gentle hearted, Jesus loving woman on the planet! And funny, she’s SUPER funny! She comes by the office regularly to make sure we are busy working and most of the time she has us all in tears from laughter! You can also find her working out at the gym three days a week! BAM! Gosh I HEART HER! My sister, Brooks and I took her to lunch at FIG. It was yummy! We also got her a cake from Celebrations. We usually don’t get her a cake because she is a diabetic, but you know what? SHE IS 85!!!! LET THE WOMAN EAT SOME CAKE! She said it was the first birthday cake she’s ever had! She WILL have a cake every year from now on! AMEN!

Big Mama works out!

Guess who started working out? Big Mama!! If you know us in real life then you know exactly who Big Mama is! If not, then I feel sorry for you! haha! No but really, she’s my 83-year-old grandmother!!!

Eighty-THREE and a HALF if you ask her! :)

Sorry I look Japanese. Phone pic. :)

So, what’s she doing in the gym? Everything! She’s only worked out twice so far this week and her range of motion and balance are already SO much better! She is walking better too! So exciting!

Now, I’m here to tell YOU…there is NO excuse not to be healthy and there is NO excuse not to exercise! You will feel SO much better! I promise! If my grandmother can work out, so can you!

So get off the couch and DO SOMETHING!

Big Mama update and other random thoughts!

Big Mama went HOME on Wednesday! That’s right peeps, just three short weeks after breaking her hip, she’s already home! yay! That’s just awesome!
