Snow Day

Can you believe it snowed in Vegas??? Not only did it snow in Vegas, but it snowed so much that we are having a SNOW DAY!!!!! Now that is ironic! A southern girl transformed desert rat and if you put that all together... I don't do SNOW! Here are a few pictures from our "winter wonderland" (quote straight from Maegan)!

School when I was leaving work-

Our Neighborhood Street

Backyard

Our Poor Tree with Broken Branches

The Frontyard My Car...my friend had a snow brush, and she taught me how to clean my car in a snow storm!!
Maegan's Winter Wonderland in our backyard!
Did I mention we have NO Direct TV service and today is a snow day!! Kids in house all day with NO tv?? Yikes

Happy Thanksgiving

At this time of year we all reflect on what we are thankful for in our lives. When I was younger I was much better at starting my bedtime prayers with ... Today I am thankful for..., but I admit as I grow older the 'thanks' sometimes get left out. It is my goal to keep a thankful heart each day of the year, and not only on this day. May your families be blessed today... and don't forget.. Gobble til you Wobble!

MCKS (My Charming KidS- not to be confused with McDonald's)

Hi Y'all!
I've been reading this website for months. (I've been one of those silent lurkers) This family's story is amazing. If you want a good laugh, a good cry, or just to be amazed by this family's faith then check out this fairy tale . . .

Sweet Home Alabama

We had a great time while we were home. The time goes so quickly that it is never enough! The kids had fun playing with family. We even got to see some of our cousins for the first time! It is hard living so far away. My kids only get to play with their family once or twice a year. I guess we just have to pack all of the fun into a couple of weeks and hope that it lasts us until we get back next time. If you are a family member reading and you took pictures while we were home and you have promised to mail them to me(several of you did).... don't forget :) I'll leave you with few pictures from our trip and my trip to Troy University to see our college homecoming game. I took close to 600 pics...here is a sample in random order ...

Countdown

I can not wait for this weekend!!! Many reasons have me excited about this weekend. First of all, Lisa and her family arrive tomorrow and I get to spend some time with cutie Aiden this weekend, it also means that my track break is just around the corner, which means I fly home. This week has been CRAZY at work, not only do I have a lot of deadlines to meet, but imagine 60 kids that know Halloween is here!!

Fall is in the Air

This weekend was a busy one for the Eveleigh Family. We had too many events going on at the same time, and were unable to make all of them. Saturday morning we went to the Fall Festival. The picture is of Morgan playing in the pumpkin patch. I was trying to get her attention, but she was too busy trying to put all of the broken stems back on the pumpkins. We then came home with enough time to change our clothes to go to birthday party #2 (we missed birthday party #1 because of the raffle drawing at the fall festival) The girls had fun playing at the party, I did not!! I was too busy chasing Miss Morgan around and around- then we went bowling with our friends. (see Princess Maegan for more details) Fall is in the air- even if the temp. doesn't show it!

To rest or not to rest....

Do you ever have those days where staying in bed all day with the sheets pulled up tight seems like the best idea that you've ever had???
What would you do if you were given a free day? Free from responsibilities and free to do as you please? (I dream of these days often) Hopefully I can make it a few more weeks until we go to AL for a visit and then I can actually have that problem to debate over...As for now - this roller coaster hasn't stopped for me to get off yet! Each day I have a meeting- so besides my early to work time of 7:10 (and YES that is dropping the kids at daycare, picking up the babysitter's kid and making it to work on time) I keep having meetings each morning...long meetings that last until the bell rings for students to arrive and some go waaaaaaaaaaaaay past the bell and I have to find someone else to pick up my students. I keep thinking just wait the weekend is coming and then I remembered our busy weekend, fall festival, birthday party #1, birthday party #2, church meeting, etc etc etc..
Sorry for the rant, but now I feel much better
I just wish God didn't trust me this much! :)
Goodnight all, I need to get things ready for tomorrow- because...you guessed it another meeting in the morning!!!!

Madness

Well, my new job this year is total MADNESS to say the least. I am working later, going in on weekends, and driving myself to the point of insanity. But I LOVE it! I have finally found the place I need to be! I love working with 5year olds and watching them blossom. Just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't dropped from the face of the Earth, but I have fallen into the abyss of Kindergarten!

Disneyland

Today we drove to Disneyland to celebrate Maegan's birthday! Mark and I are exhausted! We've been up since 3AM! Here are a few pictures of our entrance into the park. This is Morgan's first time. She's doing great and even loves the rides. Check out Maegan's blog for more pictures..She did more than me!

Maegan's New Blog

Well, Maegan never ceases to amaze us. Just last week we caught her playing on the computer and she was signing up for her own AOL account. Luckily, she entered a wrong URL and we were able to cancel. And YES we do have passwords on the computer, but Maegan can work around all of that, as well as sign herself on to her favorite websites. Thank goodness it is all approved by Mom and Dad.

Well, she has gone and posted her own blog. She will probably be better at posting than I am, because she is on the computer more than me.

Check her out at... www.princess-maegan.blogspot.com

Father's Day, Memorial Day and the Train Ride

Morgan's First Birthday

Morgan turned one on April 26th! We went today to have her photos taken. We will post more pictures after her party tomorrow. I love her first year portraits! The photographer did a great job with her. She was so grumpy at first and then she started to crack herself up! Gotta love this age!!!

Spring Is In The Air

Sorry for the random order...but at least I found 2 secs to post some new pics.

Here's Maegan in her bunny dress that Bebe sent to her.

Daddy and his girls....
Maegan putting carrots out for the Easter Bunny (incase he gets hungry she told me)
Morgan at the Eggstravaganza this week. As hard as we tried Mark and I could not get the two of them together for a picture. They were even dressed alike. Someone was always running off or crawling away. It is getting harder to take pictures of them. Neither one wants to look at the camera. I know the new craze is taking random shots -letting the kids be natural. But once in awhile - I'd like to see their faces in the same frame??? Check out Morgan's bottom row of razors. If you put your hand close to her face... BEWARE!
Morgan grabbing eggs. Once again I was too late before she moved out of the frame.
Molly, Maegan (yes her back is to me in most pictures) and Claire at Town Square Egg Hunt.

Maegan and Claire- Double Trouble
Maegan's serious side ( I love this picuture..even though she was mad at me for not letting her play on the playground. There were TOO many kids for me to keep my eyes on her..so she pouted)Another pout..I mean pose

The Springs Preserve

Today we went to the Springs Preserve. I, of course, wasn't interested in looking at the plants. I only wanted to take pictures. Maegan, of course, wasn't interested in pictures...she only wanted to play. They had a cool playground, but I couldn't keep her still long enough to get a picture there. Here's my lame attempt to be a photographer.
