MISSING One!


We enjoyed our grand kids so much yesterday. Wish this picture had all 5 of them, especially our little "turkey" Marlee. She was sleeping.

DADDY'S BOY!



Blake is a REAL "daddy's boy". He loves his daddy and wants him most of the time. Loved this picture of the two of them.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!



Yesterday we had our family Thanksgiving. It was a WONDERFUL day!!!! So much fun. The kids seem to have a ball and we are so thankful to be near most of our family. We MISSED Micah!

They've nick-named him "Dennis the Menace"!



After a "CRAZY" trip to Disney World, Blake has earned the nick name "Dennis". I don't understand, he seems to be such a sweet and precious little boy to his Mimi. (smile) I do know he knows how to work those big blue eyes. I don't care what they say, he's a REAL cutie!

Three Little Sweeties!


The other day I heard some commotion outside and wasn't sure what it was. When I opened my front door I found these three little girls laughing and giggling as their mommy tried to get a good shot of ALL of them. Hard to do when you have THREE, 5 and under. So thankful we are only a couple of miles down the road from Becky and her family.

CHRISTMAS MUCH TO EARLY!



Brooklynn and I stopped at the mall a couple of weeks ago and were so SURPRISED to see SANTA CLAUS. Brooklynn ran the other way when she saw him. I was lucky to get her picture with the decorations. Really what is the BIG RUSH with all the Christmas "STUFF"..... Let's enjoy Thanksgiving!

Gas is DOWN again, $1.61!


Yesterday I took a picture of our gas price at $1.65. Today on the way to church it was $1.61! We know it won't last, but we sure enjoying it for now.

TEA TIME!






Today Anna Kate and Lauren came by and all of the sudden Anna Kate got the great idea to have a TEA PARTY. Then she insisted that we get the hats and gloves out. We all had pretend names and had a delightful time. After the hats, the girls wore crowns that we had made.

John the MAGIC MAN!


Last night Anna Kate, Lauren and I went to Chik Fil A to see a Magic Show. It was fun to have dinner and watch the magic man. He was very personal and even made each of the kids a balloon animal. Which Anna Kate and Lauren both popped in the car on the way home.

Brooklynn Loves to Color!


Brooklynn is already a real artist. She LOVES to draw sharks and color. She is very insistent that you "Stay in the lines and don't scribble". We always have so much fun "doing crafts".

Marlee has a "Sleep-Over"!




Last week-end we got to keep Marlee for the week-end as Becky went to a Ladies Conference with her church. It was so much fun getting to know her and enjoy her all to our selves. She is a SWEETIE!

A BEAUTIFUL Fall!






We have enjoyed the fall and all its color this year. I wanted to share some photos I took on a morning walk down our drive-way. I was corrected by a friend that it was not a drive-way but a lane... Also posting a picture of us with Blake and Brooklynn at Table Rock. The leaves are falling fast and the trees will soon be bare.

Our Bonfire!







Tim came out yesterday and worked really hard building a fire pit. Had our first bonfire after trick or treating last night. It was neat. We are looking forward to many family bonfires ahead.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!







Again this year we were able to be in Greenville to go Trick or Treating with our grandkids. It is so much fun seeing them in their costumes. Aren't they CUTE! Thankful to be here. After Trick or Treating we headed to our house for a Bonfire... It was a FUN night.
