College and Career

Last night Lisa and I hosted the College and Career bible study for our church at our house. There were about 15 people, and Lisa prepared a meal. Lisa and I have been wanting to get involved with the college kids at our church for a while and we were asked to host one of their TNT meetings, so we agreed. The guys that came really wanted to watch the football game, so that's what we did, and during the half-time we had the bible study. It was a lot of fun hanging out with the college kids, and just getting to meet them.

Jennifer and Warren Byrd who are kind of the organizers of the class came and they brought their little girl Mallory who is 28 days younger than Liam. Liam and Mallory had a good time playing with each other. I think Liam liked all of the attention from the college students too!

Lisa and I both enjoyed ourselves and can't wait for them to come back next month!

Christmas with the McGee's

The McGee Family celebrated Christmas the weekend of New Years. We all went to my Sister Lynette's house, because she is 7 1/2 months pregnant, and she can't travel anymore. We got to Lynette and Robert's house at about 1:30 and then just hung around playing games and talking. I think that's all we did the whole time. One day we went shopping for the day.

Family Picture (Me, Mia, Lisa, Liam, Marcell, Debby, Lynette, Aiden, and Robert):
We decided to open presents on New Year's Eve here are just a few pictures of Aiden and Liam, and a picture of Lisa, Lynette, Robert, and I with a present that my parents got us!

Aiden and his shopping cart that Lisa and I got him:
Liam's Learning Farm that Lynette and The Bert got him:
I brought my Wii, because Lynette wanted to play my Guitar Hero. Lisa never likes to play any of my Wii games, and my family knows this, however she does like to play my Guitar Hero. Well Lisa and I had decided that we were going to play a trick on my family. Lisa had been playing, and getting really good at playing "Eye of the Tiger". We told my parents, Lynette, and The Bert that she has never played it, and wouldn't play it, and we pretended to talk her into playing it after a while of watching Lynette playing. We she got on there and played "Eye of the Tiger" and smoked it!!! My parents and Lynette were just blown away that she was doing so good. They keep saying WOW I can't believe that you not missing any of the keys!! It was really funny, and then after a while we let them in on the joke.


Lynette and I talked my parents into playing as well. We had my dad playing the guitar and my mom singing (She is tone DEAF). Lynette also had some wigs that she made them wear. It was the funniest thing. I think they got booed off the stage like 5 times before they finished the song!
Liam and Aiden played well together for the most part. Aiden would try to take the toy that Liam had, and say MINE!! He got in trouble a lot for that. One of the funniest moments was when Liam started to play with Aiden's little toy mop, and Aiden ran over there to try to take it from Liam and they were both were pulling on it, Lynette started hollering at Aiden to "Drop it". Then Aiden while still pulling on it turned and looked at Liam with this serious face and said "Drop IT". Then Lynette spanked Aiden, and he had this look of confusion on his face, it was really funny.

These are some pictures of Liam and Aiden together:

Christmas with the Coys

This year was the Coy's year for Christmas, so we traveled up to Shreveport to spend a couple of days there with Lisa's family. We had a good visit, it was very busy and relaxing at the same time. We didn't do much but visit. Tuesday about 4:00 and just visited and talked. Wednesday (Christmas Eve) Lisa's sister Laura came over, and she played with Liam, and that Night we had snack foods. Christmas Morning we all got up and got dressed and Lisa's sister Laura and her Husband Robi came over that morning so we could open up Christmas presents and have Christmas Lunch with Lisa's Grandparents. The rest of the week and weekend we just did a little shopping and hung out not doing too much.

Family picture (Mr. Danny, Mrs Jeannie, Robi, Laura, Liam, Lisa, and Me).

We all got a lot of stuff that we wanted.

After we had lunch that day and Liam went down for his nap Mrs. Jeannie had us all make Gingerbread House. Mr. Danny and Mrs. Jeannie made a Gingerbread Tree:

Robie and Laura made a Gingerbread House:
And Lisa and I made a Gingerbread Train:

Ho Ho Ho Santa Came Early!

Ok so I have a lot to talk about. This is going to be my Christmas blog!!

Lisa and I decided to do our little family Christmas the Saturday before Christmas, because we wanted to do it at our house and didn't want to bring all of Liam's toys to Lisa's parents house. When Saturday morning came Liam walked into the living room like it was Christmas morning. We decided that he wouldn't know that it wasn't Christmas, so we just played a little trick on him.

Lisa and I got Liam a Slide, because he loved to slide down the one at church.

We got him a Little People Nativity; which he loves to play with, Mr. Potato Head Zoo Keeper, a Movie, a play cell phone (because he always wants ours).


Liam and I got Lisa the Willow Tree Nativity set that she has been wanting for about 5 years. That makes the total of Nativity sets that she has to 15.

Liam and Lisa got me Guitar Hero for my Wii. It's a lot of fun, and Lisa even likes to play it, which is funny, because she never wants to play any of my Wii games that I have.
