A Splendid Saturday!




This was Carson's first swing at putt putt.

Ms. Lynn's Boys!

Michael W. Smith!!!

Chasing each other on the slide is always so much fun!


Carson was tying Tripp's shoe for him.

Hannah Grace and I pose with Simba!

Sweet Baby Will was so precious all cuddled up!

Tripp enjoyed a ride on the horse. Carson would have no part of that!


Ella just spent the evening watching on.

Carson and Maggie have so much fun together! When it comes to wrestling, Maggie can hold her own!

I love these two girls!


Christine is so crazy!

Today was a busy, but fantastic day! Our morning began with Grant's fifth birthday party. It was so much fun for Carson. Ella didn't quite enjoy it as much, so we had to leave a little early. I was fortunate to have some "Mommy Time" today, and go and meet Michael W. Smith! :) Our evening ended with a church wide fellowship at Allen's house! We had so much fun! I feel more confident with each day that God is leading me to a new home church! We had a wonderful day, but I am exhausted now! Tomorrow is a BIG DAY for me...

Pumpkin Patch Fun!













I am finally finding a few seconds to post pictures from last weekend's adventures to the pumpkin patch! We met the Brown family to have a photo shoot at the patch with our little pumpkins! I have to admit that I was a little sad for this year's trip because this was the first year when Carson did not wear overalls to look at Bubba cow. I thought, and Carson surely thought, that six years old was definitely the cutoff for overalls! Don't worry though, little Roo is just beginning her overall years! We had a great time!

Sibling Love! :)




Fun at the Fair!











Each year, Grammy and Aunt Lizzie take Carson to the fair! They planned to go on Wednesday night this year, but it rained. They opted for Friday night instead! Carson worked hard at school all week to earn green smiley faces, so he could go to the fair! He had a wonderful time!!! I am so thankful he has family members who enjoy the fair because his mommy and daddy sure do not. He went with strict orders to sanitize after each ride. I am scared to know if that order was actually carried out!!

"Walking" Into My 300th POST!!!!!! :)




Wednesday was Walk to School Day! The weather decided NOT to cooperate, so we walked inside our brand new beautiful school!! I praise God for the strength to be able to actually WALK with my precious children! Carson was a lucky boy too because his daddy joined his class for their walk.

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles


Ella is winking at the camera! :)


Ella's bath has undergone a slight change lately! She LOVES bubble baths. As soon as Daddy runs her bath water, she will ask for bubbles. It is too cute!!! We know bubble baths aren't great and can cause infections for baby girls, so we will try to limit the habit. For now, she is having a bubbly great time!

After School Fun!
