Bear Love...
Well, the day we had been patiently waiting for finally arrived this past weekend. Yep, it was Big Hannah's birthday party day. Who in the world is Big Hannah? Um, hello? She's only the love of little ol' Bear Bear's life! And oh how he "wuvs" her! He gets this sheepish little grin on his face when he talks about her and her cool clothes and her princess bed. He has made up a song about her appropriately titled "Hannah Loves Me". He honest to goodness wants to marry her. He has absolutely no problem with our K-I-S-S-I-N-G taunting. He has even hounded me to set up a play date. It is all super cute and we have all had a bunch of fun playing around with our lovesick Bear BUT do you want to know the absolute best part? All of a sudden, sweet lil' Hayesee LOVES to go to school! Go figure! Now if we can only ensure that there will be at least one cute girl in his class from now until Senior Year...we will be set! : )
A princess for his princess!

Giving Thanks!
"Thankful in November" was a recent trend on Facebook and of course, since that is so up my ally I just had to participate!
I am unequivocally, absolutely, positively thankful for...
1. My cutie-patootie husband. He has literally made ALL of my dreams come true with his sweet heart and strong swimmers! : )
2. Our three little miracles. Not sure that I will ever feel worthy of their precious faces and unconditional love.
3. My mom and dad who taught me that love isn't perfect, but it IS constant. And not only did they give me one heck of a childhood (minus the authentic cabbage patch doll), they have become some of my very best friends in "adulthood". Thank you for your love and sweet obsession with our children. We are all so lucky to have you.
4. The kind and gentle spirit of my brother, Adam. Who would have thunk that the little boy who stabbed me in the head with a pencil, threw a hacky sack at point blank range in to my eye socket, and shot a basketball straight on at my unsuspecting face would have become such a stand up guy, son, brother, uncle, and friend!! : ) So proud of who he is and so happy to have him as my greatest link!!
5. Priceless memories that will crack me up for eternity!!
6. Those mornings when we have nowhere to be and can just be...
7. My dear friends...near and far, old and new. They have ALL taught me, shaped me, humbled me, and most importantly loved and laughed with me through the good, the bad, and the ugly. And if that wasn't enough, I really like having someone to blame for all of these smile wrinkles. : )
8. Nights when the kids are safely tucked in their beds, Jason is quietly tinkering around the house, and I am intently watching trash tv. Good stuff...
9. Being able to stay at home with my kiddos. Although some days definitely have "Calgon Take Me Away" moments than others, I wouldn't trade this time for the world.
10. Drive thru cleaners!
11. Girl time...especially girl time while SHOPPING!
12. Nights EXACTLY like this...
13. My health and the health of my loved ones (fingers crossed)...
14. The excited singing and chatter of my full of life kids!
15. Naps on rainy afternoons! Wait...scratch that...for naps on ANY afternoon!
16. Living so close to my parents! The boys' school called saying Jack had a fever and Kate had just gone down for her nap...what to do? How about Gigi to the rescue? Talk about the ultimate sister wife!
17. The "this is the life" mutterings of the boy's as they drink their Starbucks hot chocolate. Just because we're home sick, doesn't mean we aren't going to party!
18. The kids did not see the huge 'Original Big Wheel' box that Fed Ex just dropped off on our front porch. I mean, geez, don't they know I've got a Santa thing working here??
19. Jason having such a great dad! His time with him was way too short, but I'm pretty sure his influence helps to make each of our days just a little easier. It's almost like he just handed me this wonderful gentleman on a silver platter...talk about a gift that keeps on giving!
20. Nights with old friends! So fun to remember the goofy times...especially when looking around it's obvious just how far we've come!
21. Road trips of old and road trips of new...completely different, but ALWAYS and adventure!
22. Beautiful fall days!
23. My memories with Tim Morris..."not a good color" and his race down the hallway will make me laugh out loud for always. He was definitely one of the good ones and will be missed by all!
24. Realizing just how lucky I am!

A Gobble Debacle!!
Whoa nelly...this Thanksgiving was one for the record books!! We had 1 very sick Bear, 1 medium sick Jack, 1 tiny bit sick Kate which made for 1 very exhausted and more than a tad looney mama!! Although it wasn't picture perfect...we definitely had moments of glory, plenty of laughs, and a whole lot of family which is what it's all about anyways, right? RIGHT? Abso-turkey-lutely!! : )

Santa's Official To Do List....
Dear Santa,
I hope you are having a good day! I am Jackson Bryant Fisher and I'm a very good boy. I would like a big tube of dinosaurs, a tube of glow in the dark bugs, a tube of cars, and a big box of airplanes. I also think I want an animal set up and a package of skeletons in all different colors.
Thank you,
Jack
P.S. Please bring Kate some baby dolls.
P.P.S.
I would also like a big ship.
Dear Santa,
Hope you are having a good day! My name is Bear and I am a good boy. I would like some boots and some ladybugs. I also want a boat and a Big Wheel to ride with my brother. I also want a bag of Willy's, Lightening McQueens, and Finn McMissiles.
Thank you,
Bear
P.S. Please bring Kate a princess.
