The Bright Eyed Brunette

Monday night our Arkansas Razorbacks played Texas in the Advocare Texas Bowl. What kind of fans would we be if we didn't have a Texas Bowl party?! Trey made a little concession stand We also fixed some party food Go Hogs, Beat Texas!! And beat Texas we did! A score of 31-7 was the end result. Way to end the season Hogs!

  BOYS....I was used to raising girls a good five years before Trey came into our lives.  He has been a completely different experience for us, me in particular!  I mean, I was raised with one SISTER under a pretty strict household.  None of these boy shenanigans would be allowed (or would they...we'll never know!). My girls are quiet, do well in school, and well behaved almost all of the time.  Trey is LOUDLY opinionated (don't know where he got that :), school isn't as easy for him, and I think he tries to stay out of trouble (although, lately it seems it follows him).  He always has a story to tell and sometimes it get exaggerated, I mean he is 9 years old. I can tell you that the past four months, I have been on my knees praying harder than I have in a long time.  Mostly about guidance and wisdom on how to handle this BOY of mine! I went through a stage of protective denial, aka enabling.  It didn't take long for me to realize that 1.  that wasn't going

Noah and Carlie playing air hockey Trey with his remote control Jeep Makena Faith Trey with his helicopter in his new robe! We played some new games the kids got. I believe this was during Logo. This is what always happens! Boom Boom Balloon was fun too! Still having a blast on our Christmas break...just wish it would SLOW DOWN!!

Trey got spy glasses! Makena got a laptop Carlie got a ring from Wilkerson She got more of her favorite series! Duck Dynasty 3DS game! Sadie's book! New Under Armor Trey also got a video camera that he has since hooked up to his Jeep! He even got a video of me in the bath (which we deleted!)! Everybody better watch out if he is around ;) Another great round of Christmas! We are truly blessed to be able to spend time with family during the holidays.

Carlie got a ping pong table!    Makena finally got her new bow!    Trey got a dart board for his room as well as the Jeep he has been begging for at Tractor Supply    Carlie got the Drake she has been wanting.    Makena, outside shooting her bow.  She couldn't wait!    Trey got a bunch of movies and Wii game too!   We had a great Christmas this year! I didn't post all of my pictures from our house, just the highlights. We woke up a little earlier so we could enjoy some time outside playing with our new stuff before heading to Nanny and Pop's for our annual Christmas breakfast. Merry Christmas Munger Family!!

After a morning and afternoon in Wynne, we came back and went to Grammy and Papa's for Christmas. The kids were all so excited (of course!). Makena and Maxee Parker Trey was so excited about his new helicopter. Makena got some more Red Rock Mystery books! I'm so glad she loves to read. Carlie got a jacket! As soon as we got back home, Trey had to try it out! He is getting better and better every day. We were a little tired and ready for Christmas Day!!

Over the River and through the woods My girls Trey and Riley I didn't get any pictures of Carolyn or TR, but we all had a good time!

So much Christmas fun going on around here that I will do a "catch all" post! We picked a kid from our local Christmas Wish tree at Wal-Mart and had a lot of fun buying for him. I wish I could have bought for them all!! Trey and Cam at our school Birthday/Christmas party.
