I AIN'T AFRAID OF NO SNAKE! orDaDa, why don't you send a resume to
one of those snake handling churches!
"I Ain't Scared!"
I know it sounds like a broken record, but we just can't believe how fast our boys are growing up. Zachary is rapidly approaching 14, just 3 months away. Can we say "driver's permit!" SCARY! Samuel has already turned 7 months and his first Christmas is just around the corner.
Zachary is doing super. He is homeschooling this year and is excelling like you wouldn't believe. In less than 3 months he is nearly 2/3s of the way through a very hard and thorough Algebra 1 curriculum. He should finish two years of High school math this year, he is an eighth grader! He is excelling in all of his subject areas. He is a VERY mature young man, both physically and emotionally. The hard part is watching him get "checked out" by girls MUCH older than him. They have no idea he is only 13! We were in a restaurant the other day and a bus load of college girls was in there. You guessed it! AAGGHH! Of course, you know Zachary hated every minute of the attention. I know they didn't think he was college age, but I'll bet you they had no idea he was just 13! We won't be in trouble until Zachary realizes he is as good looking as he is! Then, look out!
Samuel turned seven months old on the 16th of November. He weighs about 25 + lbs. and is wearing 12 mo. to 18 mo. clothes! He is off the charts, both in weight and height. He is just a huge kid! Don't get me wrong, he is perfect, just big for his age being an understatement! For those of you who saw him back in either June or August, you will not believe him when you see him! We are going to be in Arkansas for a few days around Thanksgiving, and I know my family will flip out! He is going to be a giant, don't know where he would get that from? He still only has two teeth, on the bottom and in the front. I call him my little "backwards beaver". If you don't want to lose something, don't get it near his mouth! He is an accomplished public speaker, he often tries to drown out everyone with continuing, loud declarations of "Da Da Da, Da Da, aghhhh, Da Da Da Da" and so forth and so on. You know I hate that! :-)

**Don't miss the new video posted at the bottom of this post!!**
Can you see the resemblance? Yep, both our mouths are open ALL THE TIME! :-)
Them Mauldin boys are hard to beat!
My VERY handsome family if I do say so myself, and I do!
(A copy of a previous picture with a little more of the background left in it)
This bridge is a favorite place to take pictures around Denton,about a mile from our house.
A few more family shots on our "Picture Day", taken in a gazebo at our church.
A few more snapshots:
Bubba, have I told you lately, "You da bomb!"
Yep, another picture of me sleeping, Da Da just can't resist!
I was saying.......
Not much more I love in this world than my Bubba!
OK Da Da, you are starting to bore me!(Actually, it was after midnight, and "Stamina Boy" still hadn't given up the fight!)
This video was taken right before the picture above, can't believe he was still going strong. We had made a late evening trip to Wal-Mart, and after we got home, little britches got a BIG dose of his second wind. Cracked us up!
