BUT we've been busy! Y'all I don't know where the time has gone and what I have been doing (other than obviously NOT blogging BUT I'm going to fix that...I hope)! We've had a super exciting and busy fall and winter and I just have not made the time to sit down with my thoughts (or pictures). Shame on me! This blog is really the only scrapbook I have so I have GOT to step it up!
Obviously there's not time or space for the WHOLE story but we can definitely get a little recap!
In October we made a trip back to Chattanooga to see Daniel play ball! We went to Senior Night (oh my word! I CANNOT believe he's a senior. I've been watching this boy play ball since kindergarten, y'all....seriously, unbelievable)! We had lots of fun cheering for our boys in blue and of course our favorite "Uncle Danimal".
Emma wearing her blue and showing off her sign!
Annie T. wearing her button. So cute!
Gracie showing off her sign! It says WE LOVE OUR UNCLE DANIMAL! Hilarious!
Annie made all of the signs and they were adorable if I do say so myself! :)
All the parents lined up on the field! That's my mom and dad in the middle...doesn't my mom look cute in his jersey?!?!? Adorable. Wish I had a bigger lens. Maybe one day! :)
Our favorite boy in blue! :)
Giving his momma a hug!
With Mom and Grandmother!
While we were in Chattanooga we celebrated Jack's first birthday! Another thing I CANNOT believe...my BABY (THE FOR REAL BABY) is ONE! WOW! Time flies! I mean seriously...FLIES! AND when I look back at where we were at this time LAST year....WOW! I am just amazed at how things can change in a year! It is amazing what God can do!
Think this boy likes cake? ha!
Of course, it wouldn't be October without Halloween! AND it wouldn't be Halloween without carving a pumpkin! Thank goodness Josh likes to do that with the kids...pumpkin guts are really not my thing! I'm happy to be the photographer! :)
YUCK!
Even Jack had fun!
Showing off all of their hard work!
It also wouldn't be Halloween without a little trick or treating! We had a great time with some good friends!
My little 50s girls and of course, the QB! They are so cute!
Annie also got her first report card of first grade! She is doing great! No surprises there! We are really pleased with all that she's learning but also so proud of her behavior and the way she listens and follows directions. She can be a little bit of a talker but I think she gets that from her daddy! HA!
Jack discovered a new place to play! This is the only cabinet in the kitchen with no child lock and of course there's nothing dangerous in there but you sure can make a mess!
We had a beautiful fall here in Virginia. In fact, several people told me that October in VA is their favorite time of year and I can certainly see why! The leaves were beautiful and full of color, the sky was SO blue and the temperatures were close to perfect!
We spent LOTS of our fall playing outside!
A favorite activity...eating popsicles in the wagon!
or while riding our bikes!
Jumping in LOTS of leaves!
Playing with riding toys.
In November we celebrated Gracie's 3rd birthday! Oh my! What a big girls she's turned into!
another cake lover! ha!
Jack started "driving" the cozy coup and LOVING it!
Annie T had wacky hair day at school! :)
AND for the first time EVER we had Thanksgiving at our house! The whole deal. I made a turkey and some delicious Pioneer Woman and Paula Deen sides (how can you go wrong with those two)! It was definitely a FIRST! My parents and brothers and my grandmother joined us and we had a really nice time! Of course, I only took about 4 pictures the whole time they were here (what a dummy)! I guess we were too busy having fun to even think about taking pictures. Oh well!
Mom and Grandmother made sugar cookies with the girls!
Jack just ate them! Ha!
I know. I know. I am THE. WORST. BLOGGER. EVER. Hopefully I'll get Christmas posted in the next day or two (or ten) and then I can get back on track! Wish me luck! :)
