Thanksgiving 2009

What a blessed Thanksgiving we had this year..We got to spend time with both of our families this year..It was a quick trip all the way around but it was a very blessed time..We are so very thankful for our families and all our friends and our church family..God has been so good and faithful this past year..We have so so much to be thankful for..We give HIM all the Glory! I made a slide show of the pictures I took over the few days we were gone..I shared alot on facebook also..Enjoy!

Good Job Gracie Girl!

Tonight Gracie attended the banquet for the Mustang Cheerleaders and Football Players..She got 2 trophies tonight..One for participating as a cheerleeder and the other one for "most improved cheerleader"..So proud of her..She loves to cheer and is not shy about it at all..So unlike her mommy:)..I'm so glad she enjoys cheering..and we love watching her:)Here are a few pics from her last game last night and from the banquet tonight.

Brooks Family Reunion

On Sunday of this past weekend my kids and I went to the Brooks Family Reunion in Bath, NC. NC is where my Ma and Pa Wise are from...Most of Ma's nieces and nephews still live there..Ma is the only living sibling of all her siblings and her niece and nephew hosted this reunion in her honor yesterday..It was a great day! The weather was gorgeous. Me, Caleb and Gracie rode down with my parents..The day brought back a lot of memories for me..I used to go all the time with Ma as a child down to Bath and spend time with her sister and her family and go to the little Church of God on Sundays, go to other church homecomings, family reunions, and many other occasions...Those were good times..I'll never forget..Ma did really well yesterday..everyone was glad to see her..WE got to visit the family cemetary where Ma's mom is buried along with her brother and other relatives. My dad also drove me down the road from the gravesite to where my great-grandmother Sally used to live..So neat to be where your family was a long, long time ago..I love my family and am so blessed to be part of their heritage..Here are some pics that I got during the day yesterday..Enjoy.

Way to Go Caleb!

This morning Caleb's school sponsored a breakfast reception for all the kids in 4th grade who received either Honor Roll or Principal's List for the first 6 weeks of school. Caleb got Principal's List. We were so proud of him..Matt went with Caleb early this morning to the school for donuts and juice. All the kids were presented with their certificate. Way to Go Caleb..Keep up the good work!
