IT"S OFFICIAL!

Today is THE DAY!! As of today, Jared is a licensed Edward Jones Financial Advisor! He can start selling and making us some money! There was a 45 day waiting period to become liscensed, from the time he took his tests until today. He is in Arizona this week, for some additional training, so I am at home braving it alone, with all the kids! :)It's amazing how fast the last few months have flown by! We have been surviving on a very small salary during this training period and were concerned with how we would swing it, but we made it! God has provided for us, and we know he will continue to do so over the next few years as Jared establishes his business. If you think about him, please pray for him, that he has favor with every person he comes in contact with and that he will do well!

Gaylord-ICE!

This past weekend my parents treated us and Amy and Ryan to ICE at the Gaylord! It was so much fun. The room you go in is 9 degrees and everything in the room is made of ice! They give you big parka's to go over your jackets, so it wasn't too bad! Amy and Jess went down a 9ft slide made of ice and Amy said her feet were FROZEN standing in line on the icy stairs! The kid's had a blast and even got to see Santa and talk to him for a minute. We tried to take a picture for our Christmas card but I didn't find one worthy enough! : )

Halloween Picture's!

Well better late than never right? We had so much fun on Halloween, we went to the mall and we went to our friend's house and took a hayride trick or treating. They live in the country, and alot of their family lives by them, so we just rode around out there and got lots of candy. The girls both wanted to be Disney princesses and they just HAD to have wigs this year, and Joey picked his chicken costume, he stole the show by running around flapping his wings and making chicken noises. He passed out before we even got started, the pictures turned out so funny, but we managed to get him up in time for the hayride! I just wanted Jack to be comfy and cool so I put on a little baseball outfit he already had. We will now be doing the hayride thing every year, because it was so much fun!

Jo-Jo's Birthday party!

On Saturday we went to Jared's parents house to celebrate his dad's birthday. Jared's mom made some yummy gumbo, we had an outdoor fire, roasted marshmallow's, carved pumpkins and had a great time! Jared's parents have alot of land and a beautiful place out in Dennis, it's a great place to take pictures, so I took a bunch of Jack, they turned out so cute!

Parade

The girls had a parade at school on Friday, it turned out so cute and the kids had a blast. Myself and two other moms organized it, we had the mayor,some councilmen, a firetruck, the high school band, cheerleaders, drill team and mascots. Joey, Jack and I walked in it, we walked around the school campus. Each class had a banner with their teacher's name on it and they held it as they walked! Joey had so much fun, he cried when it was over and wanted to keep walking.
