Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

What a wonderful thanksgiving! Wednesday we went to LC and had dinner with my family and then Thursday we had lunch with Josh's family. It was really great to see everyone and eat good food. We then came back and I did black Friday shopping with the Beard's, fun as usual! :) Then a relaxing weekend with the fam, it does not get much better than this.

Curt came and visited with us on Saturday. Not sure who looks forward more to having Curt over, us or the kiddos!

Kitchen Helpers

They ALWAYS want to help me in the kitchen and to be honest, they are not totally helpful. :) Here they are on clean up duty after making oreo truffles...oh I love them so!


This is what they look like nice and clean...

Birds Eye View

Not too much going on here, kid birthday parties, made a new flower bed, cleaning out leaves (kids were on the house while Josh was cleaning our gutters), been doing little paint projects here and there, working at TVA a little more. Josh did have a four day weekend and that was nice, we both got a lot done!

Halloween Weekend!

Let the trick or treating begin! We had such a great time with our friends and family! Thanks to everyone for helping us have a BOOtiful halloween. :)

Kudos to the Fore's...they put the rest of the costumes to shame!



Saturday after our yard sale we went to Connor's 5th birthday party! So much Star Wars and so much fun! Connor is just a little bit older than Ty and they have been great friends since before they were even born. :) I have loved watching Connor grow and he has become such a nice and fun little boy. Happy Birthday Connor!!

The Big Bad Wolf & Little Red Riding Hood at our church's Fall Festival. It was great!

Thanks to my mom for spending the week with us and to Uncle Bert & Aunt Tracy for coming to see us!

Birthday Weekend!

Friday we drove up to Lenoir City. We took all 7 cousins to a beautiful farm in Sweetwater, TN and Jill's sister in law, Ennette, took some wonderful pics of the kids. After that our kids spent the night at Jill's house and Josh and I had a night off. Thanks Jill!!

We started birthday weekend off in Lenoir City on Saturday morning with my nephew's, Will, 2nd birthday. See him chillaxing waiting on his cupcake! :)

My neice Sayuri celebrated her 1st birthday, here she is looking super cute!

We ended the birthday weekend with Dax's 4th Birthday Party at Partyville, the kids loved it!

Chuck E Cheese, Monster Bash & Pie Run!

Marley has been doing better not peeing in her diaper at night so went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate. My mom was here for a couple of nights so she went with us and she also helped me redo our backsplash. It looks great, thanks MOM!!

Everybody, hands up for the pretend roller coaster!

Ty was pushing the gas for Marley, too funny.

Thursday night we had a delicious dinner with the Beard family at Seki Sui and then fun at the playground.
These kids crack me up! I went out on our front porch and this is what I saw... what imaginations!

Friday night we went to the Monster Bash at the Creative Discovery Museum! Here is Bryce the firefighter, Ty the Big Bad Wolf, And Marley Little Red Riding Hood. Too cute!



Saturday I ran the Pie run with my neighbor and good friend Lisa, it was great! Then just Chillaxing the rest of the weekend. Now it is time for another fun week!

Football, Festivals, and Columbus?!

Our weekend started off with Signal Mtn. High School's homecoming parade, then a FABULOUS dinner at the Pastaria, followed by going to the football game. What fun and they won big!

Saturday we went to Alexian's Fall festival. They had face painting, music, cake walk, petting zoo, cotton candy, popcorn, corn dogs, snow cones, and the list goes on. It was so nice to walk there and it was free!

Sunday we went to church and just hung out and then Monday Josh had Columbus Day off. So he worked on the house and I went to work for a little bit. I will miss having him at home today!
