Woohoo, it is my Blogiversary! Actually it is belated, it was last Friday. But, I have been very busy. Here are a few photos from the last week or so!
Baking apple pies!
Making a hundred pumpkins for the treat or treaters!
Voting!
Hank Williams Jr was the guest singer!
Going to the very cold Monday Night Football game! If you watched it, did you see me? I was the one in blue, teehee!
We WON!
Catching the B man looking at some girlies! He will be unveiling his own very lovely primate very soon! He is still deciding upon a special name for her! (Sorry, Charlotte, he peeked at your giftie!)
Finding out oldest boy would be flying with CAP, and actually flew the plane for a little bit! Can you say, give a mama a hive! Here is his first achievement award.
A day trip with the youngest boy, hubby and Bentley!
Okay, now to the part you really (I sincerely hope) are interested in! This has been ONE whole year of making new friends, finding out I am not alone, there are others like me! Not to mention learning! And I have learned oh so much from each of you! To celebrate, I am having a giveaway! One of the coolest crafty books!
A copy of Alabama Stitch Book! If you want a chance at it, just comment on this post between now and Thursday, November 6! I will probably throw in a few extras, because I adore you all!
XOXO
Many congrats on a year of blogging, Leigh, on making ALL those pumpkins, on braving that COLD night to watch the game, on casting your vote, on censoring the literature young Bentley was ogling, and h-u-g-e congrats to your boy, for FLYING - wow!
:)

here we don't have halloween, but we have a similar thing where kids know on doors (daytime) asking for "bread for God", no costumes... they do that in Carnaval...
the book looks great.... hope i win it:)

Alabama stitch book? What a FABULOUS anomaly for this east coast girl. Dumb question: (Bentley- no laughing!) do people in Alabama stitch differently than people in other states? Tell me what all those pumpkins are- they are ever so adorable! xoxo Love J

Woooohoooo! My girl is blogaversarying! How's THAT for a new verb? LOL! You are sooooo cute - 'the one in the blue'! Bwahahahaha ... I think Bentley is teaching you to be naughty. He looks veeeery dapper there with the ladies. As for the lovely book, I would LOVE to be included in the drawing! No, no, no! I don't want to DRAW the book - just have a chance to WIN it! Congratulations to your son on successfully flying, and to your younger son - well, he's just my sweetheart! SO ARE YOU!
