Can you believe it....my baby is ONE

Sidney Shea's favorite thing is her pink pony, so it only seemed appropriate to have a pink pony party.....not a winter creek party!

My how time has flown...Sidney Shea is not only 1, but she is a walker, a climber, and four-wheeler rider... she is Rhett's girl, she has 6 teeth, she likes to show you her tonsils and she can tell you she is ONE and show you how to blow out candles! Thank goodness she can't pick out her own clothes and she doesn't care what her hair looks like.....YET!

What's happening??

Rhett's taking swim lessons....
patiently waiting his turn.....

80's day at school

Grand-Dog has a birthday....we celebrated by going to the Habachi bar and Rhett loved the excitement! He even caught the shrimp that the chief threw up for him to catch! Then we came home and had Dad and Rob's favorite, butter-scotch pie!

Christmas.....

We started Christmas at Gran-Gran and Pap's house for a yummy dinner and then opening gifts!

She was just happy toting around her package!

Look at this great cowboy costume that Sherri gave Rhett!

We woke-up Christmas morning to this beautiful view out the trailer back door and to the surprise of SANTA...

Guitar...

baby buggy, new pink pony....

hunting mask, duck call, moose call, big buck call and coyote call

and a four-wheeler!

heading over to Mom's for more Christmas fun...
Rhett was already over there and we decided to just put her in the forward facing seat. She was sooo proud and thought she was BIG stuff!

We all gathered at Mom's for a yummy breakfast, opening gifts and playing with cousins...

Then, Ann Marie and Austin came and we opened presents some more...

What a great end to a great holiday with friends and family!!!

Just for smiles.....

Hope this put one on your face!!!!!!

Snow, Snow come only on the weekend PLEASE!!!

This weekend was the kick-off weekend for the Christmas Holiday.
We took in the festivities of the Courthouse tree lighting followed by some cookies and a visit with Santa Claus.
Rhett, Sidney Shea, Bennett and Weston were all good boys and girls and hopefully after they visited with the "big guy" he'll bring them what they want...

The Amburgey's

Weston, all bundled!

Once we got inside, it's shed the coats and wait in line to see....SANTA!!!!

After our evening out, what did we wake to??? SNOW!!!!! This next picture is for our friends in Texas ( we missed you and if you were here we would have been playing together...OUTSIDE!)

This is how REAL cowboys play.

I wanted him to put on his other hat but he insisted on his cowboy hat!
The snow was perfect for building a snowman and even Daddy got in on the action.

What do you think...Frosty wouldn't be able to hold a light to this snowman...literally!
(buttons for eyes, sand shovel for a nose and broccoli for buttons)

This is what Sidney Shea did while we...........

Made snow angels
(Eli)

Built HUGE snowballs
(Avery)

Had snowball fights!!!!

and built snow forts to hide behind
(Ellie)

It was a great SNOW DAY. The best part about it was.....it was on a WEEKEND!!

After being outside for 2 hours we came in and warmed up, then off we went to see Santa again...only this time, no one was tired, we didn't have to wait and everyone sat on his lap and told them what they wanted.

Rhett's list consists of the following: a guitar, and then all kinds of calls-duck, moose, elk, big buck, and coyote callers!

Sidney Shea's list: a new pink pony...this is according to Rhett. A few months ago, we did laundry and washed her pink pony, I sat it outside to dry and Kasey (the cat) cuddled up all around it and I made her get off, so she meowed and meowed. Rhett asked me what she was doing and I told him I guess she was crying because she wanted Sidney Shea's pink pony. Well, when it came time to talk about Santa and gifts we said Sidney Shea wanted diapers and Rhett informed us that she didn't want that she wanted a new pink pony. When I asked him why he said "So Kasey can have her old one!"

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE AMBURGEY'S

Thanksgiving

There are so many things that we are blessed with and have, to be Thankful for. The Lord has been good to our family and provided us with good health, a wonderful family, and great friends.

This is the before picture of our Thanksgiving Feast...

Rob and I were in charge of the turkey again this year and I think it was better than last years....

Perfect!

James Benton stopped in for a surprise visit and ended up not being out of town and had Thanksgiving dinner with us.

We were running late so the dinner started without us and without the turkey. Kasey (the cat) had to stay in her carrier all through dinner and my camera stayed in the car....sorry no pictures from the dinner with my family at Stephanie's but we sure had a good time!

We ate there at 12:00 (12:40 when we arrived) Then at 5:00 we ate again! Rob's family had dinner at his Aunt's home. We were stuffed!

Super Hero Party

Cole Boy Turned 4

and he had a super hero party...thanks to Turner, Rhett went as Spider Man (aka "Fider Man")

This is the dress-rehearsal...he put his costume on at 12:00 and the party didn't start until 4.

All the Super Heros at the party...the birthday boy was Bat Man (with the blue head)

No party would be complete without CAPTAIN AMERICA....I won't give away his identity

Sidney Shea enjoyed the fun and the cake..."Can't wait until I'm 1...bring on the cake"

Wouldn't you feel safe knowing these two were going to rescue you???
