Snow Day

We had our first snow of the season and Graham had a "Snow Day" from school. He had fun playing in the snow and then coming in to decorate a gingerbread house. This has always been one of my favorite Christmas activities.Painting bible verses for Graham's teachers at school.

Thanksgiving 2010

We went to the farm for Thanksgiving. It is always so much fun and there is so much to do. We love riding the four wheeler through the trails. Graham enjoyed driving this year and looking for dinosaur bones.

We always go to City Park in New Orleans the day after Christmas. It is always so much fun and totally gets me in the Christmas Spirit. There are carnival rides, a Christmas train, lots of lights, storybook land and hot chocolate. .........and to all a good night!

This is Lee and MiMI on the rollercoaster.
We thought Graham might be scared but after one time through he says, "let's go again"! He definitely has an adventurous streak like his Daddy!

Halloween 2010

Graham was Super Mario for Halloween. He is four years old. He ran around the house as fast as he could so he could be just like Super Mario.Mommy loves her little Mario!
We are having so much fun at Pumpkin Fest. We are so grateful for our dear friends.

That night we went to The Elam's house for chili and trick-or-treating. The hayride is the only way to go!!!

Nana's Birthday

This was Nana's Birthday (Oct. 7). We took her to eat mexican food because that is one of her favorites! After lunch, we came back to the house for presents and cake. Graham loves his Nana soooo much! His favorite game to play with her is "Kitty Cat"! I think because he really wants a pet!!! Thanks for being such a wonderful mom and Nana! We love you!

Gentry's Farm

Graham was out of school for the day for FAll Break so I took he and Aiden to Gentry's Farm for the day! They had so much fun picking pumpkins, going on a hayride, petting animals, going through the hay mazes, and lots of other fun activities!

Baby Cows

Baby Cows came to visit at Graham's school. He had so much fun petting and feeding them a bottle. They get a gallon of milk with each feeding!!!!!

Weekend Away

We went to Chattanooga to get away for the weekend. We stayed at the Chanticleer Bed and Breakfast on Lookout Mountain. We had so much fun. The first day we went to "Reflection Riding and saw a blue herron, tons of butterflies, owls, an eagle, and lots of other fun creatures. We did some hiking and then went to Canyon Grill for dinner. On the way, we stopped on the bluff and saw the sunset, it was so beautiful. The next day we had an amazing breakfast on the terrace and went hiking at Pointe Park. We went for a walk on West Brow Road and then went to lunch in downtown Chattanooga. It was such a perfect weekend.

Apple Cake

Making apple cake!Getting some flour on the face!



We all went to the apple orchard today to pick apples, however it was a really hot summer and so there were no apples to be picked. The kids has a really good time learning about bees and then a wonderful picnic lunch after!

I promised Graham all week we would make an apple cake with all the yummy apples we picked so, what is a mommy to do. Go to the grocery store and buy some of course!
