Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving was great this year. Dad drove up to spend Thanksgiving with us.
I cheated this year and ordered food from Cracker Barrell...OMG totally worth
it. I fixed a few extra sides but Cracker Barrell was WONDERFUL. My sis and
Kendall flew up on Friday morning and stayed till Monday and drove back to
Jax with dad. We have a wonderful time with them as always. Dad took Tay
camping again this year. He got her a new sleeping bag and tent. They about
frozze to death. Friday night it got to about 20 degrees and I think that Tay
put on all the cloths she packed to sleep that night. The next morning dad got
up and the water jugs were frozen so they decided to pack up and head to the
house because it was just CRAZY..they did get to do a bit of hiking but the weather
was not good.....

Volleyball

Volleyball for Taylor is in full swing. She is busy with pactice 3 times a week.
She also has a packed volleyball tournament schedule. Looks like she will also
be going to St Louis in March. Taylor is so excited!!
We will start playing in January that is when the real fun begins......
I will keep you all posted.

WOW

I did not realize it has been so long since I have done a posting.
Things as always have been CRAZY but hey that is normal for us..
Kids are busy with school and doing really good. Both made A &B
honor roll so can not complain about that. Hunter is not doing
sports right now and Taylor is crazy with volleyball. We just finished
up school volleyball and they had a record season so that was great.

Now CLUB volleyball has started. We tried out to 2 clubs this year
and we ended up with Atlanta Boom 15 Diamonds. Which is cool
because she gets to play up in her age bracket. So we will have
commitment night on November 10th to make is official. Now
we figure out what kidney to put on ebay to pay for club..LOL

Thanksgiving is right around the corner wow how the year has
flown by.....guess I better start thinking about them menu...

On that note I better get going....I promise I will try to do better.

Our Kendall

Since my sister and her family was with us for Easter
we had to do something for Kendall. So we had a Easter egg
hunt at the house for her. So here she is our Kendall..

I found another egg



Pretty at the park...is she
super cute or what....

Easter Weekend

Easter Weekend Taylor had a BIG volleyball
tournament called the BIG SOUTH. It was CRAZY
over 800 teams playing on about 125 courts.
My whole family came up for the weekend and
it meant so much to Taylor to have everybody here
to see her.

Crazy Weather

I know I have blogged in the past about our crazy
weather but here are some pics of our house
early March. IT WAS CRAZY.....

Baseball

Hunter's baseball season has started so we have
to split our time between the two since Taylor
still has volleyball. So I am with Taylor
and Rusty is with Hunter. From time to time
we get to all be together at both events.

Here are some pictures of my little man:

Volleyball

We have been super busy with Taylor's volleyball
schedule and traveling all over the place. We are
coming to an end with her final tournament this
weekend. All of the family has had a chance to
see her play so it has been a good time for everybody.

Update

Well as always I am so bad at doing this blog thing.
We have been very busy here at the "Parrish" house.
Taylor is full steam ahead with volleyball right now and
we are always on the go. She does practice 3 times a week
and now the tournament have started. Right now we
are traveling every weekend.
Hunter just got signed up for baseball and I am so excited.
We have been out of the baseball scene for a few years now
and I have missed it. He said he wanted to start back this year
so we got him signed up and he will start his practices soon.
Report cards just came out for the 2nd nine weeks and they both
got A-B Honor roll and we could not be prouder of them.

I put up a few new pics and post so hope you enjoy and I will
try to do better!

Christmas Cookies

For as long as I can remember every year at Christmas we would
go to my grandmothers house to do Christmas cookis. So with me
being the oldest grand kid followed by 7 other I have done this for
many years. It was always so much fun and I have such great
memories of those times with all the cousins doing cookies with
grandma. Well much time has passed and she is getting older
and the grandkids are "to old" to still do that. So I have tied to
pick up where she has left off. I have not always done such a
good job at doing it every year but we have made it happen.
So this year we went home Christmas week to spend time with
family and we did cookies at Karen's house. It was such a fun time...
Enjoy the pics..


Rusty was trying to help her out while she rolled
out her cookies..man she did not want any help!
She kept saying, "I got it"


As you can see we made this a whole family afair!



Yes, that is Karen in an apron. Heck I dont
even own one of those....She is trying
to show off her Betty Crocker skills..LOL
If you look at the pick you will see a cookie "gun"
yea she has had that since she got married and
yes this was the first time we took it for a test drive.




Both our sweet girl.....


Kendall was such a good decorator....I asked her
to smile. Her response back " I cant right now
I am busy"




Okay Aunt Wendie I am ready now she tell me!
I tell you what the girl will keep you laughing...

SNOW

Well as luck would have it since we have moved to Georgia we have been having a time with the weather. Worst dry spell in history, followed by
the flood of the century. Then we have SNOW. Kids loved it since they got out of school early and then school was closed the next day.

We got some pictures of Hunter with a snow ball and a picture of the snow in the front yard.

This Florida girl will never get use to it. Yea is super pretty when it's falling but we do not know how to handle it. The day school was out, I too was stuck at home since all the roads were iced over. So it was a work from home day for me.
Which was not a problem because it was COLD!!!!!!!
