frustrated

so i have been trying for TWO weeks to upload a stupid video Dave shot of me and some friends dancing to the Wii..... and it won't upload and I am so frustrated, just cause anything Dave wants to contribute to this blog I wanna do..... but i think the file is to big and I have been stalling adding new posts cause I REALLY want it posted.... for Dave's sake, he thinks it's funny

Cookies!

David's Grandma used to invite all the grand kids over to her house to decorate Christmas Cookies. Then Dave's older sister continued the Christmas Cookie decorating tradition with the cousins and cousins kids. Dave and I loved going to decorate cookies so we started inviting friends and their kids to our place and we have begun to get quite a turn out!

My good friend Amy, and fellow blogger, came for the first time this year with her beautiful daughter, Lorelai.

Rolling out the dough

Lorelai helped with rolling the dough and ate some, too.

and many of the kids ate the decorated cookies once they were done.

Our good friends the Leatherwoods came over and enjoyed the movie The Polar Express, that played on a constant loop that drove Dave CRAZY!

Some works of art:

Walking in Memphis

Ever since my Mom had heard Walking in Memphis (video below) she has wanted to visit Memphis, TN.
This past week Dave and I were in Jackson, TN (about an hour away from Memphis), looooooooong story short we ended up having to travel to Memphis and I told Dave we HAD to get a picture of me walking in Memphis for my Mom. As Fate would have it on the way into the restaurant Dave forgot to bring in the camera. Then after dinner (& a few too many cocktails) I just wanted to get back to the hotel and sleep, but Dave insisted we get the pics for Mom. He left to get the camera in the truck and I waited. Then "Walking in Memphis" started to play over the loud speakers and I new I NEEDED to get the pictures me me walking in Memphis.

My "Walking in Memphis" pictures:

Helping Aunt Karen, with her NEW i-phone

Aunt Karen was the only polite one to stay at the table to talk to Dave (who is the slowest eater in the world!)

Jessica and the dinner aftermath

Joe watching football

..... and trying to figure out what deal is soooooooooo good, his wife and sister would get out of bed at 1:30 a.m. to go buy!

Game Night!!

A few weekends ago, Dave and I hosted Game Night and we had so much fun!!!

Dave and Kenna were there, along with

Gary and Christy

We played, 10,000; Catch Phrase; Apples to Apples; and Pictionary just to name a few.

We all brought an appetizer to share and Gary made Hairy Bellies and Dave's mango coconut concoction, everyone was having a good time!

STOP TAKING PICTURES OF ME!!!!!!

We moved to the living room for Pictionary and more comfortable seats

Gary and Christy won (Cause they cheated, hahaha!)

Last week my good friend Stacie was in the neighborhood and I asked her to stop by so her girl, Lilly can meet our new girl, Anna.

With two miniature horses to keep under control, Dave thought it would help if he had a glass of wine, or two!

Stacie and Lilly are so cute!

Why is it all animals and children LOVE Dave????

Play NICE!!!

Fine.
