He is somewhat ready to potty train and so he will take his diaper off after he has peed in it and then when I dress him- he will be undressed in a few moments- luckily it has not happened in public yet!!! here is some naked vacumning!!!! anyone need their house cleaned?

happy late valentines day

so.....a little late!! but we had a fun family day- heart pancakes to start with and then heart pb&j's and then opened our valentines from grandparents and then to wal mart to pick out a prize with valentines money from tachi and then to our favorite restaurant- ci-ci's and then the boys opened their valentines day prizes and lots of candy!!! seth and I dont do anything cause we both think it is kind of a silly holiday so we just had fun being with our kiddos!!!

ski trip

we took a weekend ski trip several weekends ago to north carolina. There were about thirty students from west georgia and we had so much fun skiing on ice!!! we had a few little meetings so it was exhausting but so fun and no one got too hurt!!!

Christmas Crazies!!!

I feel like I have a blog trend- just update once a month and put tons of info in!!! (this is not my goal- blogging is the one thing I tend to procrastinate over) So...Christmas and Happy New Year

After Seth being gone from Dec. 14-18th on a ski trip- he came home and then on the 19th we did the Terrell family Christmas- Our tradition is going to Waffle or Huddle house and having breakfast (boys in pjs) and talk more about why we celebrate Christmas and talk about who Saint Nicholas was and then we come home and did our advent calendar (the one I have is from desiringgod.org and I love it) and then we open presents for our family (which is not much because they get WAAAAY too much while we are on the road

Caleb's favorite toy was the dollar tree ball and Blevin got a Transformers tent

So...then we hit the road for our 13 day excursion that afternoon(19th) We stayed at Seth's parents til the 24th and as always they did way too much for us for christmas and it was fun and crazy- 5 kids + 8 adults+ freezing weather= a little cabin fever or chaos!!! Seth and Shane did not get to play much golf because it was too cold- so they were a little on edge because they are not used to being around the kids the whole time- but we did lots of fun things including taking all 5 (1 five year old, 2 four year olds, and 2 two year olds) There is no way to get a good picture of all five but we made several attemps!!

Then we went to Seth's grandmothers on the 24th and had another Christmas with his grandmother and then went to my parents!! Christmas day we had a huge breakfast and then waited on Elliott-Sarah and Collier and then ate a huge lunch and then opened presents again!! So...by Christmas day- the boys are completely overwhelmed by all their toys and things they have gotten. We got to hang out with Elliott and Sarah and then the day after Christmas my mom's whole family came over and we hung out and shot skeet!!

The boys are not allowed to have a kitchen- so they got a grill and here they are chillin with Daddy T

the three grandkids- Blevin- baby Collier and Caleb

So then on the 27th we loaded up and dropped the boys off with Seth's parents and headed to Nashville for my 12th Christmas Conference!! We had an awesome group from West Georgia and it is always great for me personally too in my walk with the Lord. We had around 50 go and I had prayed for one room of Phi Mu's to go and 5 went!!! I was so excited. The speakers were great- many late nights- one night of dancing and lots of talking and after we got home I realized that I am not 18 any more and it took several days to recover. So...after a great holiday- we are happy to be home and school started last week, so things are off to an exciting and busy start- will try to update more frequently! A little late- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

our group from West Georgia

Three or four in One!

Three posts in one or four! I have not updated in a while- life has been so crazy that I haven't taken the time to update all of you on our life!!!!!(or update my virtual scrapbook!) So the first post- THANKSGIVING!! We went to Kentucky this year and it was just us and shane and brit and all 5 kiddos! We went up on Tuesday and then came home on Sunday! Needless to say it was fun, but not exactly restful! We went to the campus and played on this rope swing one afternoon- then enjoyed Thanksgiving lunch that Brittany did most of the cooking for and then Brit and I went shopping and then we cheered for Alabama during the Iron Bowl. The pictures describe a lot of our craziness!!!

Decorating the tree- We had fun decorating and you can't decorate without cookies and hot chocolate! All the ornaments were on the bottom, so I had to go back in and fix them and suprisingly there were not many broken!!

Making cookies with me!! Seth took this picture and you can obviously tell that I had not showered!! But it was fun and I love my helpers in the kitchen!

So...really four posts in one- we went to the Atlanta children's museum on Tuesday (cause it is free on the 2nd Tuesday of every month) We went with our friend Carter and the boys had a blast- they loved fishing in the water thing- even though they got wet - and they had these really cool motor/tractor thing that the boys loved and they especially loved it when their daddies encouraged them to dump the balls on top of other mom's heads!!! Oh and we lost caleb a few times or misplaced is a better word- he would just wander off and I would think I was watching him but thankfully they had lots of great workers that found him twice and i saw them walking with him with him looking for me!!!!! Ha! Great parenting- but he was only gone for like 20 seconds so I really am not that bad of a mom- just a mom of Caleb the great hudini!!!!this is blevin and carter dumping the balls on the other moms!!! I don't know who had more fun- the little boys or the big boys!

A greased pig???

The goal is to recruit people to Christmas conference-Right? (now called new years conference!) So- the single staff guys- Ben and Matt decide that it would be good to have a big BBQ and have a greased pig chase! Where you get a pig- grease it up and chase it!! So- Ben finds a pig at a pig farm for $30 and brings it home today! During story time this morning Ben calls my phone (which he never does), so I answered and he asks very quickly for seth- and I tell him where Seth is and he informs me that the pig has escaped and is running through a nearby really nice neighborhood and on the golf course!! So- there are six guys (four of the five staff guys) chasing a pig in this neighborhood for over an hour!! They finally find and catch him!! Blevin is so excited and told atleast 3 people in the grocery store that his daddy was going to catch a pig and I just smiled! When we get to the BBQ tonight- I have great compassion for the little guy and feel sorry for it - and DID NOT eat any bbq (it kind of freaked me out) So- all that work and planning and about 60 people came to the cookout- but the little guy got complete stage freight and wouldn't run when people chased it!! The kids loved chasing it- so it was fun for them- but other than a funny day- the greased pig did not perform- But gave numerous laughs!! It is funnier to me cause I lived it- but hopefully you can appreciate the great lengths these guys will go to to try to get someone to go to conference!!!!!
Here are some pics of the little guy and my little ones chasing it!! And in case you didn't know- they stink SOOOO bad!!!!

My Sweet Blevin is 4!!!!

I can't believe I have a four year old!! My sweet- compassionate- loving first born is now four!! He was somewhat confused since we had his party a little over a week ago- and since his idea of time is a little off- and he was disappointed when he realized he was not going to get more toys!! In order to make his day special- I let him pick what he wanted to do- we had his favorite breakfast- Eggo waffles and eggs with candles of course and then he watched lots of TV this morning- played transformers with mommy- got to rent a movie at the store and watch it this afternoon- got to play on the computer and then go ride bikes and then pick where we went to eat dinner- Ci Ci's (his favorite) and then we came home and had a cupcake and me and Seth told him the things that we had been encouraged by in his life in the last year (this is something we just started tonight, but want to do every year)!!! So- I think his day was special!! At dinner- I asked him several questions- so this will give you some insight into Blevin- "What are you most excited about now that you are four?" Blevin-"I can play games( on the laptop)" and then "What do you want to accomplish in your fourth year of life?" Blevin- Eat Pizza!!! - so games and pizza are important!! So- to my sweet first born- Happy 4th Birthday!!
