Happy Thanksgiving!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day yesterday...one day early in order to celebrate with Nick (who is now working at the hospital and on-call through the night). Of course we made our traditional turkey dinner...and it was delicious! The smoked turkey rocked (thanks Paul for introducing us to it)! We reflected on our
blessings... and couldn't figure out why we receive
so many... but we are
grateful for them all!
I'm grateful for Nick...he does all the
"hard" jobs for me (like preparing and carving the bird!). He is now
most appreciated for killing the tiny snake (yes,
SNAKE) that had decided to take up residence with us. The man is not afraid of anything, I tell you!
I'm grateful for TJ...who is full of life and loves doggies and playing with his brothers (when they play nicely, of course). Notice that bald, white spot on Doggie's head? Well...TJ likes to "eat" his dog, despite all of Carson's declarations that, "we are NOT Chinese TJ!" (and therefore dog is not on our menu). Do they really eat dogs in China?? Or is that some perpetuated myth?
I am grateful for Carson. He loves learning and teaching me new things. But most of all...he loves all things ARMY. Even his teacher at school has commented on his knowledge of "military history." I've learned quite a bit from him myself...he quotes the History channel a lot.
I am grateful for Nixan. He makes me laugh. Says the funniest things ever. His memory is amazing and he is always saying, "Remember when..." and recounting funny stories. His giggle is contagious!
This picture was taken by me. Despite the look on TJ's face that would have you believe HE's on the bottom of the dog-pile, it's really me under all that madness! I'm grateful my boys Love me and still like to play with me...I hope that lasts forever.

Cute post Jamie. I stole your link from Rachel's blog, I hope you don't mind. Happy day after Thanksgiving.
How fun! Four "wonderful" boys in your family--so much to be thankful for. And, I'm sure they count the one lady in the family as someone they are thankful for. You are wonderful Jamie! We love you!
Ohhh, Happy Thanksgiving! What a fun time you guys had together. I'm glad you were able to celebrate early!
We can't wait to see you guys. Good job Nick on killing that snake. A true hero.
I am excited to hang out with Treyson, Nixan & Carson. Carson has a lot to teach me about the army.
Yes, they do eat dog in China. I have a picture of a man skinning a dog (why I took it, don't ask me?) Although it isn't as prevalent as people think.
Looks like a wonderful Thanksgiving. Little boys are so sweet. You're one cool mom! Love the pictures.
Carson and Collin have 'Military Talk' everyday on the way to/from school. Carson is even teaching Collin how to draw tanks and airplanes correctly - ha!
A snake - ahh!! I HATE snakes. Glad Nick came to the rescue and took it out. (I hope he killed it so it's not roaming in the neighborhood to my home!!)
What a wonderful Thanksgiving. Your boys are precious! It is so hard to have them grow so fast...
What a sweet post- I love it! And your floor looks great. Good job!
Ohhh Jamie...I LOVED this post. I loved all the pictures and your fun explanations. I think the fact that you are at the bottom of the dogpile shows exactly what a fun and great mom you are!! Your boys are so fun!!
