So Excited About the Holidays

I've been decking the halls the past 2 days and I'm still not finished!! This is my favorite time of year and I love, love, love decorating for Christmas. My husband decided right in the middle of my decorating that he was going to paint the fireplace, which I'm glad of, but I wanted it done 2 months ago...Ha! not right in the middle of my Christmas decorating. LOL I don't care though really...I'm just glad it's getting painted. That's one thing I can say about my Kyle now, he gets it done. Joy calls him Handy Manny. Ha! Hopefully he will be finished with it by tomorrow so that I can get my mantel decorated. Anyway, I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! I know we did. It was so good!!! I ate til I couldn't breathe. I always do! I've been trying to figure out facebook, but I guess I'm just dumb or something. I'm going to go on there and fool with it a little more and get it figured out.

Ya'll have a good night.
Love~

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!

My Sweet Gavin

Is he not the cuteset baby!?!?!?!? I could just eat him up. I love him with all my heart.

He is the absolute sweetest baby on the planet. He is always happy and hardly ever cries. He is so dang smart and takes everything in. He is just absorbs everything like a sponge...he is going to be really smart when he grows up....at least his Auntie Jenn thinks so anyway. We love spending time with him and Abby wants to hold him all the time. She ask a million times...Les,can I hold him, can I hold him, can I hold him, can I hold him....she drives me nuts about it and I know she drives Leslie in sane with it. But Les never shows it. She has always had a special relationship with both my girls. They love their Leslie. Anyway, Gavin loves Abby's Toby dog. You can see part of him in the picture below. He's one of her build a bears and Gavin loves to play with him. He thinks Toby is so funny. He gut laughs at him and then we all start laughin at him, because he is laughing @ Toby. It's so funny. I think I posted a video of him on here not long ago gut laughing at Toby. Gavin definately needs a Toby dog. We will have to tell Santa Claus to see if he can find him one.

Well, I'm off to bed...ya'll have a fantabulous night!

Yesterday

We went to the Troy game and we had a blast. It was the first time that Rylee and Abby has ever been to a college game and they loved it. Mr. Jimmy is always so kind to get us tickets whenever we say that we want to come to a game...and I must say that they are always awesome seats and club level. They buy season tickets @ club level every year, but he always manages to come up with enough for us too when we come for a game. The clublevel seats always include a free meal, which is really good, and at the beginning of the 3rd quarter they serve ice cream and you get to choose what kind you want. I always get a drumstick. The kids loved that! Joy you have the best father in law in the world. He is so sweet and he always has Dylan a Troy cap everytime we come. Dylan and Connor went down last year and went to a game. The girls usually go during the summer and the boys usually go during football season. Anyway, we had a really good time. It was alot of fun. We took alot of pictures and I've put them into a slide show above.

I can't believe it's already Thanksgiving this week!!! Time really flies by. I will be putting my tree up this week. It would've already been up, but I haven't had the time. I can't wait to get all my decorations out. I'm excited!!!

I'm about to call it...I'm tired. Ya'll have a great night and I love ya'll loads!

First of All.....

Happy Birthday Camryn Alea from all of Auntie Jenn's crew!!! I hope you had an awesome birthday today. I can't believe you're a whole 8 years old! I love you loads!!

Second of all....just a quick update from last week. I did find the answers I was looking for. And yes I found it mostly in scripture. The rest came from my very wise Mama and my getting wiser by the day sister and my wise Best Friend who keeps me in line and slaps me back when I need it...wink. I honestly don't know what I would do without ya'll. Thanks for all of ya'll's wisdom and very good advice. I love ya'll!

And just a lil side note.... if any of you facebook and have sent me friends request... I never, ever go on there so that's why I haven't added ya'll yet...it's not because I'm ignoring ya'll or anything. I just don't have time to get on there and figure it out. I blog and I barely have time to do that. I will get on there and add ya'll, I just don't know when it will be...somebody told me the other day that it says Jennifer Harris Van Horn's profile is only 50 percent built or something like that~LOL.... I really need to try to get on there and figure out how to at least finish building my profile so my friends will quit raggin me about it.

Ok, well ya'll have fabulous night and a great day tomorrow.

Love,
Auntie Jenn

Seeking

Lately, I find myself seeking answers for things that I absolutely do not understand. I'm trying to find the answers in the Word. That's where my Godly Mama has always directed us if we ever have things in life that we just don't understand. She always told us to seek God for the answers and I'm trying so hard, but I feel like I'm just not getting anywhere. I am seeking and will continue to seek until I find those answers. I'm very discouraged about some things and just can't get past it. My best friend reminded me that I have so, so much to be thankful for and I know without a doubt that God has blessed me far beyond what I deserve and I am very thankful for my family and my life. I just feel kinda like I'm just wandering...and the truth is that I should be overjoyed about life and just let everything else just fall into place. Maybe I just answered my own question. Hmmmm...... I did find scripture today that spoke to me...maybe I just realized what God was trying to tell me. I'm not one that says "God just spoke to me". It takes me a minute or an hour or 10 hours or sometimes more than that to realize it. I don't know...I've just been in a funk lately about "stuff". Just say a prayer for me. I will get past it. I feel like Satan is just coming against me with all he's got lately...well maybe not all he's got this time, but ALOT!!!!!

I hope ya'll have a great rest of the week. I love ya'll!

Love,

Aunt Jenn

Busy Day

Today has been so busy. We got up @ 5 oclock this morning and went to Macon GA to get a smoker...I know....we have enough already. LOL Kyle did sale one of the ones that he already had to get this one, but if he don't stop we are going to have a collection of smokers. LOL I'm just kiddin...I'm just glad that grilling/cooking is his hobby and not hunting or fishing or something that keeps him away from home all the time. His cooking for a hobby is not good for my waist line, but it's better that alot of other things that he could be doing. So after we got back from Macon (2hours over there and 2hours back) we went to Auburn game. It was my first Auburn game and it was alot of fun...except for the lady sitting next to us that I almost had to beat up because she kept saying that I needed to slide over. I finally told her that my butt was on my seat number...and if she hadn't tried to squeeze 4 big people into 3 seats she might not have that problem. I just don't get some people. Kyle was in a wad about it, tore up cause he thought I was about to punch that lady, but I refrained and didn't let the Harris come out in me. LOL We had a good time and I can't wait to go back.
I hope everybody had a good Saturday. I'm going to be going to bed early tonight. I thought about putting up my Christmas tree tonight, but I'm too tired. Ya'll have a good evening and Joy~call me. I know you are exhausted too from all of ya'll's festivities.
Auntie Jenn loves ya'll loads!

~My Birthday~

I have had the best day today. Thank you to everyone who made my birthday special. I have the best family and friends on the planet. Every one has called or text or emailed me to wish me a happy birthday today. I'm so blessed. My BF Leslie took me to lunch and it was so dang good. I got all these great gifts. Thank you my sweet husband and kids!!

I'm so excited about my new AU shirt, and my new Bible and Selah CD oh my gosh! I love this CD! It's awesome. I've got to figure out how to get the songs from my CD to my playlist.

I'm not sure if that's possible, but if there's any way I can make it happen, I will. And oh my bling that my sister sent me.

It's awesome. I think I'm going to wear it to work tomorrow. And my orange and blue necklaces, Joy, will match my new Auburn Shirt perfectly when we go to the Auburn game this weekend. Oh and my Mama wrote me the sweetest letter...it was so sweet...made me cry.

36 ain't so bad after all. I can't believe I'm 36. Seems like just yesterday I was just a little kid running all over RiverView.
Thanks again to everybody who made my birthday special!

I love ya'll loads!!!

Happy Birthday Jennalee!

We hope you had a fantastic birthday today Jenna~bug. I can't believe you're a whole 4 years old. You are growing up waaaay too fast. Before ya know it, you will be as old as "Wywee", Dywin, and Connor. I hope you and my Jaxen had an awesome time @ Chucky Cheese tonight. You call me tomorrow and tell me about it. I love you and Jaxen to the moon and aaaaaaall the way back!

Love~

Ready for Thanksgiving & Christmas!

I'm so glad that Halloween is over. I know that the kids love dressing up and going trick or treating, but it's a chore. The kids have fun though so it's worth it. We had a good time. Rylee and Dylan were suppose to go to a haunted cornfield maze or something like that in Auburn with Darby and Payton and 2 of Payton's friends, and Creed but after they drove all the way down there they couldn't find it. They still had fun though. They ended up just going to McDonald's to eat. It's really probably a good thing that they couldn't find it, because Rylee and Payton both are the scard-iest 2 people on the planet and Darby probably would have ended up dragging them through it with their faces buried in his arm. LOL I don't think they could have handeled it. Abby had a good time trick or treating. She got alot of candy...more than she can eat. We've already counted it and sorted out what she didn't like. She got 96 pieces.....waaayyyyy too much. But she had fun and she looked really cute. I'm still tired from it and this time change has me all messed up. I keep thinking it's later than it is. Well, I hope ya'll have a good night. I think we are about to call it. I hope ya'll have a fantabulous week! I love ya'll!!!
