Let The Games Begin !

Jaiden started her junior pro season basketball games on Saturday. No different from any other day for her she's always playing in the house, or outside. Here's a couple of pictures of her at practice before her 1st game. Of course CANDICE PARKER would be proud look at her hands great form.

WHAT A JUMP SHOT SHE HAS !!!!

DADDY'S DRIBBLE DRILL !!

Her 1st game of the season ,she was so nervous. She played against one of her good friends. We played a great game. Jaiden played one of the best defensive games I've seen for a five year old. She also scored 3 points should have been 4 but she missed her foul shot . We play a really good team this Saturday. """" EVERYONE PLEASE WISH US LUCK """""

THIS WAS THE FINAL SCORE !! STAY TUNED FOR MORE HORNET ACTION !!

WAY TO GO HORNET'S !! GREAT GAME !! BIG WIN !!

MOM, DAD AND JENNAH ARE SO PROUD OF HER !!!

Christmas Fun Getaway

Here'a few pics from our weekend trip to Dollywood to see some shows and the lights. It was Me,Mom,Jennah, Jaiden, Linda, Robin and all four of Linda's kids. Well let's just say that after 10 or so bathroom stops we only got to see one show. The kids love to see the parade go by . Here's a few pics from our trip. Christmas is my favorite time at Dollywood all the decorations are beautiful. We all stayed two nights in pigeon forge, of course we had a hotel with an indoor pool. The kids went swimming first thing the morning then back again later until 11:00 pm closing time. Needless to say they slept well.

Not real sure of Andy!

Pics from the show!

A big cannon went off in this scene and scared the girls half to death!! You can see some of it's smoke.

SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG !!!

On our way home of course Me,Mom, and the girls hit the outlets for some shopping time. We had a great weekend. I'm so glad I talked Mom in to getting away for the weekend.

ABC'S of The First Thanksgiving

Jennah and Jaiden's class along with the other kindergarten class put together a Thanksgiving play to perform for the whole school. I learned a little more about Thanksgiving myself. All the props,hats and stuff they made in class. Their teacher Ms. Jimmie is very talented.

Jaiden's part was ( N is for NO ONE ) By November, there was plenty to eat. No one would be hungry this winter. She done a great job. She didn't really dig the hat.

Jennah's part was ( O IS FOR ONE ) One day, Governor Bradford said, " We should be thankful for our harvest." She performed just like a movie star. Of course she loved the hat.



" LOOKS A LITTLE NERVOUS"

Jaiden didn't miss a word !

Jennah didn't either !

And yes ! They asked me to the Narrator.

It became an official holiday in 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln, said to set aside the last Thursday in November to give thanks. In 1941, Congress made Thanksgiving an annual national holiday to be celebrated on the 4th Thursday on November.

IT'S TIME FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO GIVE THANKS TOGETHER, EAT LOTS OF GOOD FOOD, WATCH PARADES AND FOOTBALL GAMES. IT'S ALSO THE START OF THE WINTER HOLIDAY SEASON !! HAPPY SHOPPING !!!

EACH AND EVERYDAY GIVE THANKS !!!!

CHAPEE IS BACK !

Chapee performed both nights in the tournament games. I had a blast !! Kids from the other schools loved coming up to me for a hug and some high fives. I don't have the video footage yet . My best friend Holly taped it for me, so as soon as I get it I will post. Here's a few pics from the first night of tournament .

Introducing CHAPEE ! They call out each kids name on the ball team. I walk out and give them high fives. It was so hot in the gym that night. I sit on the side lines during time outs with my head off just so I could get some fresh air .

MEET CHAPEE !

I would like to introduce myself. I'm Chapee( aka: Melissa Cox ) the mascot for Sharps Chapel Elem School. The P.T.O. had a fall carnival this past weekend to raise money for the school. Bryan Shoffner the Principal (aka: one of Jimmy's best friends ) ask me to dress up so the kids could have their pictures made. And guess who has a new job. I will be preforming in tomorrow nights game against Luttrell. And next week in the county tournament . I will be dancing with the cheerleaders to Michael Jackson's Beat It. Hope and Pray that I don't screw up. Surely all the cheering I've done in my younger days will pay off.

Jennah and Jaiden had no idea that it was me under the costume. I had to make them get this picture made with me.

This is Edward Berry a great friend of ours, and also my pretend husband two years in a row in our Christmas play at church. As you can see Jimmy helped in the Haunted Forrest. I think the Men had more fun than the kids scaring people.

Ms. Jimmie had the fishing game in her room.

The famous Jail.

Stay tuned for more Chapee in the next couple of weeks. I'm very blessed with a job that allows me to be off to be with my kids, and help volunteer at their school. We live in a great community. I thank GOD everyday that my kids go to a great school.

DISNEY ON ICE!

Jennah and Jaiden's school went on a field trip to watch DISNEY ON ICE . It was a great show the kids loved everything. Hope you enjoy our pictures. SORRY SO MANY!
