14 Month Picture

I am so behind on these pictures.  These Addison and Preston (Baby A and Baby B) Monthly pictures.  I did actually take these when they turned 14 months but I have not posted them yet.  Aren't they cute!  Addison is going to be a knockout when she gets old, with those blue eyes.  Preston is such a joy - always so very happy!

 

Too Cute

I just thought this was too cute not to post.  This was all 5 of mine and Cara's kids piled up on my car today, praying we made it home in one piece considering I had a huge screw going through my tire which we noticed when we got all the way down to the mall.  Look at Addison sleeping with her mouth wide open.

Macy's Pink Pig

This morning the three little kids and I piled up in the car and headed over to pick up Ms. Cara, Chloe, and Dillon.  Then we headed into the city to the Lenox mall so the girls could ride the pink pigs.  They have been looking forward to this for weeks.  Evidently this is an Atlanta tradition that started in the 40's with the Rich's department stores.  I guess when Macy's bought Rich's they continued the tradition.  We had a blast and look forward to making this an annual Coble tradition. 

 

This is Chloe and Emma Grace holding their stuffed pink pigs.  They have so much fun together. 

Cara and Dillon

This was Emma Grace, and Chloe, and me with Preston and Addison on both sides of me before we got caught riding more than two to a seat.  Where at that point they stopped the ride in the middle and made us figure out something new.  Ms. Cara ended up putting Preston in the seat with her and Dillon in the seat in front of her.  It was fun and all the glitches worked out.

So thankful we are making great friends to start Atlanta traditions with! 

Thanksgiving Catch Up

Sorry but I am about to do massive photo dumps with not a lot of content.  I don't want to miss out on having these pictures on my blog.  We had the best time over Thanksgiving with all of my family in the ATL visiting.  My dad rented a great big 15 passenger van and we spent the week in my house and riding around in the mega van as a huge family of 13!  It was so much fun.  I miss my family dearly, and it was so wonderful to see them all and host them in our house. 

 

Look what we are cooking for Thanksgiving dinner!

They picked up where they left off and never missed a beat. 

We had the best time at the East Cobb Park. 

Taking the ride of their life. 

Merry Christmas

Thank you Nene for our cute new t-shirts.  We are ready for Christmas!!!!!

Mother's Club Outing

For the past four months I have had the opportunity to take the most wonderful bible study class with the most amazing women and mothers.  The class is called The Mother's Club, and our teacher Mary Tabb is the most phenomenal teacher and mother of six!  It has been such a great class and a great way to meet other mom's who are all in the same season of life. 

Thank goodness someone sketched the people for us. 

Our Paint Pallet....

100% Mom's having wine with Transformer Cups from party's past!

This is my friend Amanda and her starting picture! 

I am really not a paint artist, but I do like to dabble in art in the forms of decorating, sewing, crafting, but I have never painted.  However, I am pleased with my first time painting picture!  Ryan asked if it was paint by number - ha!

A few of the ladies could not make it, but here is the crew and our nativity scene paintings.  So perfect to hang on our walls for the holiday season.  Life would be so perfect if I always had a huge canvas to put in front of my torso in every picture!

JFBC Women's Christmas Dinner

I am so behind on Blogging and I want to do so much more, but for some reason I just can’t find enough hours in the day to get it all done. I used to hate it when my mom would tell me that when I was little. I can remember being so very bored with life and her telling me the above, and I just did not understand how it was possible.

Anyway back to my post. Hopefully this will be the first of many in the coming days. Last week I had the opportunity to go to our church’s women’s conference with a wonderful group of ladies from our Sunday School class. We had so much fun fellowshipping, eating, singing Christmas songs, and listening to some very inspirational women speak.

I am so thankful that God has led me to find some wonderful friends in this new life of ours. I don’t think I would make it without them. However, I think Ryan is getting really tired of all of my Girls night outs. In the last 11 days I have had 4. Monday night a group of us went to Roswell to have dinner at a cute little restaurant, and the weather was so warm that we were able to dine on the patio. Tonight I have a paining activity with some of my friends form my bible study class – it should be so fun, we are paining a nativity scene. So blessed! But I do miss my sisters and my Arkansas girls so much.

Isn’t this table so cute???? Each table at this event was decorated with a different theme, and there were more than 50 tables there. It was great inspiration for Christmas decorating!
