Macie's Birthday and a BIG Surprise

September 24th was Macie's birthday. She is 6 years old already. She is truly my sweet little lady! SHe woke up today so excited about her special day. When she got home from school Jeff had her a special surprise..... A new kitty. She has been wanting one for so long and the answer was always NO!!! What changed you ask??? Well, our new house is surrounded by Kudzu (a very irritating, fast growing, climbs up everything plant). When Jeff was mowing it down in our yard I saw several mice run off. Now, if there mice there are snakes and who knows what else. Yikes!!! The pest control man said that we need to get an outdoor kitty to keep the rodents away. He said it works great and is safer than chemicals or poisons. SO.. now we have a cute orange kitty. Macie is in love. Hannah thinks she is the boss of it and Ella just cries nonstop because she wants a kitty too. SO meet the newest member if the Parrott Family.

Where have we been!!!!

We have been everywhere this summer. In June we moved to Millbrook, Alabama. Jeff got a new job as Assn't Manager at Hyundia. It is a great job! He really likes it. Hopefully we will be here a bit longer than we were in Texas. We realllly miss Texas( at lest us girls do). We also miss all of our Texas friends. Even though we were only there for a year; we made soooo many fun and memorable friends!!!!
Well, this is where our journey began.
We moved into a small apartment in June while we looked for a house to rent. The girls went to Kentucky in July and spent almost a month with their grandparents, Roy and Gracie. What a help that was!! I went back to Texas to get us moved and rent out the house. After leaving Texas we met the movers in Alabama in our new rental. I spent the rest of the week unpacking as fast as I could cause I had to leave to catch a flight out of Lexington, ky to go to Idaho and see Sophie be born!! That was the most amazing thing ever!!!! I will never forget Seeing Sophie take her first breath! AWESOME!! I have had 4 kids but never have seen a birth up close and personal. Thanks Callie for sharing it with me!. After our Boise trip I came back to Ky to get the girls. We drove back to Alabama and started school 3 days later!
NEW NEWS:
We just bought a new house! It is beautiful. I found a foreclosure on my daily listing e-mail, so my realtor and I went to check it out and made an offer that night. We weren't planning on moving so soon. I DREAD packing and moving again so SOON!!!!! This better be the last time!
The kids also have to change schools again- they aren't too happy.
So this is where we are at. I'll keep you all better posted from now on.

Address for Christmas

Here is our new San antonio address:
1904 clearbranch
deatsville AL,36022
I also need address for Christmas cards so send me a note if you all can :)

We're moving to ALABAMA???!!!

So I guess we are moving. Again- So soon?? I am definately not looking forward to moving again!! The kids and I were getting into a groove here. We were making friends and going lots of fun places. We have really liked living in San Antonio. I can honestly say we have met some true life long friends here in such a short time. I just hope we fit in and find a groove in Alabama. Hundai (however you spell it) wants him to start either Jan 14 or 28th. I think we are going for the 28th. The company is moving us and we will live in furnished corporate housing for 3 months. Hopefully we can sell our house here quickly. Two house payments will be ugly!!! Jeff is really looking forward to his new position. He can't wait to be on 1st shift and wear kahkis to work everyday. Kind of strange for him- he's been on nights for 12 years!!!! He's sure has done his time.
All I know is we are going to try to make the best of our time left here in San Antonio. We are going to have a great holiday with our great friends and try to take lots of pictures to remember everybody. I know the Lord is guiding our path, so I trust that Alabama will be another exciting and special place that we soon will love. Please, oh please, let it be a good place for us........
We went to a Stake Christmas party tonight and had so much fun. I sang a song in the program with some friends and the kids had a wild time with friends and poor Jeff..... had to work.... The holiday is going to be so busy with all sorts of fun things. I'll keep you posted!!!!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. All together we had 23 people and way too much food- crammed into one house. It was a fun holiday. Nothing is better than friends , food, and a football game. Jeff also got a call from Alabama yesterday to let him know that the job was his. He will be hearing more next week. That will be something to look forward to. I am excited to see what they offer him. Also we are trying to decide if we are going to sell or rent. Any advice? Let me know. Any person experienced would be greatly appreciated. Now to get ready for Christmas. Holy toledo!!!
I haven't hardly gotten started. SCARY!!!!!
