He gets this from his Daddy !

I couldn't find Wyatt this morning, which usually turns into something bad, but when I found him this is what I saw! That's a People Magazine by the way! He must get this from his Daddy because I never do that! wink wink!

Where did Hannah go?

Well Tom and I took Addison and Will to see Miley Cyrus Wednesday night! It was one of Addison's birthday gifts. It was a good show and I think the kids enjoyed themselves, but I think I was hoping for her to still be Hannah Montana, which she definitely was not! I understand she is trying to appeal to an older crowd, but give me a break she's only 16. And it would be nice if she remembered that she was still Hannah last year.
Her dance moves were a little too "sexy" (to put it nicely). And the clothes were all a little to short, all over! But like a friend told me I can't shield them from everything. But man would I like too! And like I said, they did have a good time! Here are some shots of the concert!

She loves her brothers!

Last night Jessie and I were sitting on the couch and her brothers were running around the house scaring each other. And everytime Will jumped out from behind the chair to scare Wyatt, Jessie screamed in excitement! It was the cutest thing to watch! Everyone got such a big kick out of it, they just kept doing it over and over again! Jessie loves to watch her brothers and sister, but she has a special love for Will. Everything that he does she thinks is the greatest thing she has ever seen! She would sit and watch and laugh at him all day!

Good Friends

On Wednesday the kids and I went to the Memphis Zoo with Amber and her girls (Carly, Jenna, and Georgia). It was fun being able to see our kids together. In the past few years they have become really good friends, especially Carly and Will, and since we moved to Tipton County it has been hard getting together. And I have missed just sitting down and talking with Amber for hours! But anyways, we had a great time, even though I had a fussy baby, it was pretty hot, and it rained! We didn't let it stop us!

We have figured it out!

We have figured out who Jessie looks like! The first picture is Will and the bottom picture is Jessie. They look like twins! What do you think?

Happy 4th Ya'll!!

Hope everyone had a great Independence Day! It has always been one of my favorite holidays! We spent it at my Dad's in Germantown and came home and shot fireworks with my brother and sister in law. We had a BLAST! (no pun intended)! P.S. I made the big kids t-shirts. Aren't they cute! Tom was just really glad I didn't make one for him!




And I just wanted to let everyone know what a great big sister Addison has become! Whenever Jessie cries and I don't get to her fast enough this is what I find! She picks her up and calms her down before I can even get there! (It could be that she was watching TV and couldn't hear it over Jessie's screaming, but let's just pretend that's not it)!

The Combs Family Welcomes #4

Jessie Diann Combs born May 19, at 11:39 am. She weighed 9 lbs 7 ozs and was 21 inches long.

Playing catch up

I know I am way behind! I have just gotten lazy in the last couple of months! First, I wanted everyone to see my new project, that I am so proud of. It is a frame my Dad made for us that is 8ft x 4ft, then we backed it with pegboard and covered the pegboard with styrofoam, then covered that with fabric. And I am in the process of covering it with pictures of my kids that I can stick on there with straight pins. I love this new piece in my house! I just wanted to show it off to everyone!



Next on the blog list is Will started flag football this month! I wanted to post a few pictures because he looks so cute and SMALL standing there on the field! He is on the same team as his best bud Gavin and I am not sure that either one of them knows exactly what they should be doing!




On last Friday we went to the zoo with Mom and Michael, Jon and Wendy and their kids and had alot of fun! It was kinda cold but the kids didn't seem to mind too much! I loved that pic of Will and Wyatt, that polar bear was looking right at them, I swear!




And then lastly was Easter. We had a great time with Jon and Wendy here! The kids dyed eggs on Saturday and hunted them a couple of times. And then Sunday after church we had a large family dinner which I always love! I hope everyone else had a great Easter also!
P.S. 4 weeks to go (give or take a week)

WIND!!

Wow! Was it windy today or what? Just wanted to let everyone see what the wind did to our kids trampoline. Tom and our neighbor went to drag it out of the mud and all that was salvagable was the actual bouncy part(whatever that is called). Most of the poles and the frame were wrapped around a tree. Oh Well! Such is Life! FYI They do have things called trampoline wind stakes...I guess we should have looked for those before today!

Tacky Day

Today was Tacky day at school. Addison and Will had fun getting dressed up in clothes that didn't match. But what is funny is so did I, I wish they could dress like this everyday. No arguing, no yelling, no threatening children if they don't get dressed in the next 30 seconds. It was fun and I thought they actually looked cute. Tom thinks Tacky Day at school is strange because the children have to bring $1 in to be able to wear tacky clothes (PTA fundraiser). He says it is like corporate America, where you have to pay $5 to wear jeans on Friday. HeHe Oh Well! And Wyatt BTW, is not dressed for tacky day he just HAD to be in the picture.

Coupons

My new thing this year is saving money! I found out about this website called "The Grocery Game" (www.thegrocerygame.com) and watched this women go to the store and buy nearly $300 worth of groceries. Then she handed the cashier a stack of coupons and ended up spending like $79. I want that to be me! So on her website you sign up and she sends you a list of all the advertised and unadvertised sales going on at the store of your choice. On the list she tells you the normal price, the sale price, and she also matches it with any coupons she has on her sight and any coupons that might have been in the Sunday paper. I am hooked, and am actually beginning to save money when I shop. It is fun for me to see how much I can save. Just wanted to let everyone know about it because the economy is tough on everyone right now, and any little bit of money I can save is good!

Finally

I finally got my van back yesterday! I missed it so much! It was exactly 1 month and 1 week from the day we had our wreck. It has a few problems already, like a tire sensor light won't go off, but I figured it wouldn't be exactly like it was before. But I tell you what, it's the silly little things that you get used to that you miss the most. Like my sliding doors instead of the normal doors, I don't know how many times in the last month I caught the door from one of the kids swinging it open and almost hitting a car parked next to us! I am extremely grateful for the insurance companies on both sides, and the people that worked so hard to get our van back to us looking good as new!

My New Year's Resolution...

is to give more attention to my blog. That might be one I can actually keep!



Christmas and New Year's was great this year! This was the first year we didn't have to travel to everyone else's houses. I guess because we have this new house everyone wanted to come here. Christmas Eve was with my family, then Christmas morning the kids played with everything Santa brought them. Addison got a cupcake maker and new scriptures, Will and Wyatt both got new bikes, and all 3 of them got a big basketball goal for the driveway.
New Year's Eve we stayed at home like we always do, we aren't much for the nightlife. I had to wake Tom up right before the countdown! New Year's Day my sister and her family came in to do Christmas! We had a very happy holiday season and I hope all of you did as well!
Oh! and by the way, we found out we are having...wait for it....a little GIRL! The whole family is very excited! Girls don't come around very often in this family! for Mom and Michael this will make 20 grandchildren. 15 boys and only 5 girls!
