I know I know it has been a few months - my longest blogging break ever - but I am back and ready to get caught up and stay caught up!!  I am going to do one MASS post to kind of highlight what we have been up to.

Although we have been non-stop busy these past couple months we have very few pictures to show for it - I've been slacking in the picture department.

Right after starting school Sydney started Soccer and loved it!!

 She was so excited that Grandpa was in town visiting and got to watch her very first game!!

We were so lucky to get a couple of weeks with Grandpa here.  He was so much help at distracting and getting the girls all riled up!! We all loved having him here and it just solidified the fact that family should NEVER be so far apart!!

The rest of September and all of October were spent at work, in school and at soccer practice/games.  

Next came Halloween...

 This year we just painted Pumpkins - I thought it would be less mess, less work for me and more fun for them.  Don't get me wrong they had a blast but the mess was horrible and the work that I was doing after to get paint off every surface in the kitchen was plenty.  So next year CARVING it is!! 

Casey was the Little Mermaid and Sydney was SuperGirl!!  We were able to walk the ENTIRE neighborhood and got enough candy for 10 kids. Sydney is already talking about next year's costume - UGH!!!

The following weekend Daniel and I drove up to College Station for our annual Sooner game outing...

College Station is gorgeous and so rich in tradition BUT we hate it there.  

Losing at an away game is never fun and that is what happened.  At the end of the day though their fans are amazing, their facilities are beautiful and we will go back next time the Sooners play there...  We just BETTER WIN!!!!

 We had great seats huh??? Almost on the field!

 The following week we had Sydney's Soccer party.  

 Sydney was so proud of her medal and trophy!  And we are so proud of her effort and ability that she showed during this season.  We already signed up for the next season!!

The day before Thanksgiving I was driving home - like the WONDERFUL driver I always am - came to a stop at a red light and the lady behind me tried to keep going.  Needless to say she (and her much smaller Volkswagen sedan) lost!!  Neither of us were hurt and I was alone in the vehicle so that is what really what matters but my poor baby is all marred now.

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and this year we have so much to be thankful for!!  We had a very quiet and relaxed day just the four of us... 

We took the kids to see Tangled 3D - Super cute movie and We all loved it!!

 (Including Daniel cause he got a nap in!!)

 We came home fried an AMAZING turkey and ate ourselves into a FOOD COMA!!!  Why did I make so much food!!

Now it's time to get ready for a very busy HOLIDAY SEASON!!!!

I disappeared and there is no other reason that would do it justice other than the truth - We have been boring and unworthy of blog posts for the last month!!

After mom's visit we have truly just been taking it easy and trying to recover from a very busy Holiday season.  

Here are a few things that have been going on at the Cobb House:

* Sydney is doing SO well in school and her reading and writing are getting better everyday.  She is also about to lose her 3rd tooth and already wants to talk about when she gets to drive - UUUGGGHHH!!

* Casey seems to learn something new on a daily basis.  She has the BEST sense of humor and always has us laughing.  She is also FULLY potty trained - NO DIAPERS!!!!!!

*I joined Weight Watchers in early January and have since lost 19lbs (YAY!)

*I also became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  If for no other reason than because I LOVE their products BUT it seems the women at the girls daycare love them also so I have found a pretty large customer base and have my first workshop next weekend.

*Daniel is still my rock and the very loud voice of reason in my head. He is still in school and is SO close to getting his Bachelors. 

And here are a couple of photos from the last month.  

Sydney had to decorate a box for her Valentine's and this was our finished product!
