This & That

I'm so far behind on the blog! Here's a little of this and that to everyone caught up on what we've been up to and some thoughts. I'll work on pictures next...have lots of cute ones (of the kids of course).

• Daddy's grandfather, Dale, went home, his heavenly home, on Oct. 23rd. We went to Missouri that weekend to be with the family for the funeral. I'm happy for Dale that he is home with the Lord and the many lives he so obviously touched. I am sad, however, for Treva, his wife of 62 years, who has lost her best friend, David for losing the only grandfather he really knew and the rest of the family, like PawPaw.
• On Nov. 1st, we participated in Light the Night, a 2 mile event/walk, to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation. We were part of "Team Jordan", walking on behalf of Jordan Flint. Thank you all who donated money. Team Jordan was a big group of 122 walkers. Unfortunately, Jordan was in the hospital and unable to be with us. During the 2 mile walk, JT rode in the stroller and made fire engine siren noises almost the whole way after hearing one in the distance. That was funny. He loves fire trucks...
• Jordan is home now and doing much better. Her feeding tube is out. I'm so glad the family is back together at home. Continue to pray for her and her family. They need continued prayers.
• Nov. 4th, Obama was elected President. Obviously, not my choice. Am I worried? Absolutely not. I know who's really in control, and it's not Obama. God uses everything for good.
• Nov. 5th -- Happy Birthday Sis! Always fun when your birthday comes around, because you'll always be older. LOL!
• My friend, Bethany, lost her Mom on Nov. 12th. My heart hurts for her and her family. I know they will miss her very much. The good news is that God called Margie home; she's with our Lord in heaven. Please pray for Bethany and her family as they go through this difficult time. Love you Bethany!
• On Nov. 14th, my brother in-law turned 40. I'm glad someone else was first, but I couldn't give him too hard a time since I'm not far behind him. We got together with Paul and his family and parents. We made him a t-shirt for his birthday that said "I look good at 40 feet away". Daddy came up with the saying and thought it was sooo funny. I'm sure his brother will give it back when Daddy turns 40.
• In late November, my friend, "3 Boy Mom", had a scare that her cancer had returned. However, fantastic news -- No Cancer. Halleluiah!! Thank you God! I don't want my friend to suffer again.
• For Thanksgiving, we went to Lubbock to be with Grammy & PawPaw. The kids were so excited to go. We had a great time, even with JT and I being sick when we went and Daddy on the way back. JT will have to come up with another "bucket list", as we call it, since we covered his existing one while in Lubbock. We went to see the ducks, play on the playground, see the fire trucks up close and ride a choo-choo train. The "Choo-Choo", as JT calls them, was Polar Express. Both Sissy and JT had a blast. They got to see Santa and tell him what they want for Christmas, Santa give them each a bell; we all got hot chocolate and cookies, talked to elves, listened to Christmas music, and Sissy danced in the aisle with the conductor to "Hot, Hot Chocolate".
• We have seen Polar Express 101 times by now and we're weeks away from Christmas. It might not be 101, but it feels like it. He loves the movie since there's a Choo-Choo in it and Santa.
• We're busy with Sissy's schedule. . . She's had rehearsals for Christmas programs. Here's her schedule in case anyone wants to attend. Kidz Praise Choir Concert at church Sunday, Dec. 7th at 7pm. Sissy is dancing in part of the Sounds of Christmas, our church's Christmas Musical, Dec. 12, 13, & 14 -- 7pm. Ballet Christmas Show (small recital at the dance studio) on Dec. 18th at 5pm. She's doing great with all this practice and I'm sure she'll do great in the performances, regardless, I just want her to have fun.
• JT's vocabulary has taken off........ He's saying so much more now. It's just blowing me away. He still does sounds though and can do some great animal noises, like an elephant. He's growing up quick. JT is just hysterical; I know he'll be the class clown in school. He always makes everyone laugh.
• Christmas Shopping!! But, I'm almost done; so close I can taste it. Yippee!

Until next time I find a quiet moment, which may be next year. Just kidding! Love, Momma Wolg

Oh Tooth Fairy!

Sissy lost her 3rd tooth Sunday afternoon. She was so excited -- the tooth fairy will visit, she gets added to the lost tooth poster in her 1st grade class, she feels older and it makes a nifty place to put your straw.
On Saturday, Sissy hit her tooth on the ladder of her cousin's bunk bed. It knocked the tooth loose and helped it along. I think the tooth came out a little premature, but I didn't share with Sissy that she'll have her gap for quite awhile.

I owe lots of updates and pictures...hope to get them out there over the next couple days.

Love, Momma Wolg

Halloween Pics

Hello Fam & Friends,
I'm falling behind updating my blog. Here are the kiddos on Halloween. They had a blast -- nice night, had fun dressing up, lots of candy and trick or treating with friends/neighbors.

JT ate candy along with way trick or treating.

This picture is afterward; he's all sugared up!

Call him Tim the Tool Man, Bob the Builder, Home Depot Man...

Isn't he cute?

Sissy was Silvermist Fairy.

Lots of glitter...still getting it out of her hair

Isn't she pretty?

Had to wear the "heels" trick or treating

More updates and pics to come. love, momma wolg

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday evening, the kids and I went to the pumpkin patch. We usually go every year and hadn't made it there this year. Daddy was out at the drag way with the Chevelle club.

We had fun at the pumpkin patch, but we were wiped out by the end -- literally, we stayed until closing time. I had forgotten how much the pumpkin patch bothered JT's allergies last year -- my bad! I didn't give any allergy medicine that day. Between running around, allergies, kids not feeling 100% and working up a hunger...we left needing 4 things quickly -- food (got Sonic, yum), allergy medicine, bath (sooo dirty), and bed. I had the kids to bed and asleep by 8:45, only to pass out in my bed a little while later.

Some of pic's below






Mom, it's too bright here!

Cool tractor!

The train was a hit with JT, of course.

Can I borrow this for timeouts?

JT is sooo done with this.

Do I have to get out?

















JT thinks this stuff hurts in shorts.

















Another train..Cool












Another tractor..Cool













Sis: "Dora"
JT: "Da Da"

Prayer Request for Jordan

Jordan

Please continue to pray for Jordan, 4 yr old daughter of Jodie and Joel, who are members of our bible study class and First Baptist. Jordan has Leukemia and she's struggling with this phase in her treatment. She's in the hospital and got out of ICU yesterday. Most of you know this family and have been praying for them faithfully since she was diagnosed in March, but I'm putting my request here for family and friends that do not live here or know Jordan. Please pray for this precious little girl and her family. Love, Momma Wolg

Hush Little Jacob

I revised the traditional "Hush Little Baby" for JT. I had fun creating and thought I would share it. I can't sing well, but it does calm him down. For my baby boy, Momma Wolg

Hush little Jacob
Don’t say a word,
Momma’s gonna buy you a Firebird.
If that Firebird don’t run,
Momma’s gonna buy you another one.

Hush little Jacob
Don’t scream and yell,
Momma’s gonna buy you a fast Chevelle.
If that Chevelle don’t go,
Momma’s gonna buy you a Camaro.

Hush little Jacob
Don’t you fret,
Momma’s gonna buy you a cool Corvette.
If that Corvette doesn’t go far,
Momma’s gonna buy you a muscle car.

Hush little Jacob
Don’t cry a lot,
Momma’s gonna buy you a big block.
If that engine don’t produce,
Momma’s gonna buy you a big shot of juice.

Hush little Jacob
Don’t boo hoo,
Momma’s gonna buy you a Malibu.
If that Malibu’s too slow,
Momma’s gonna buy you new GTO.

Hush little Jacob
Stop your play’ in,
Momma’s gonna buy you a Ford Mustang.
If that Ford breaks in a day,
Momma’s gonna buy you a Chevrolet.
