Thanksgiving weekend

This blog update is dedicated to Mamaw Shirley. She's been asking for some new pictures.

Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving at Nana's house.

All the cousins were there and we had lots of fun.

OK so these pictures are completely out of order. For some reason I cannot get them to move.

Here is my 1st grade class' Gingerbread House we did for Fantasy of Trees.

So Much Fall Fun... So Little Time!

It's been a while. The reason is... we have NO HOME COMPUTER!! Can you imagine?!? Our home computer got a terrible virus and eventually died. We both have access to internet from work. I guess we will be buying a laptop for Christmas.

It seems there are so many 'Halloween' opportunities for kids these days. What happened to just trick or treating to your neighbor's house and dressing up in a garbage bag or plastic mask. Remember when we put on anything in the house and called ourselves "hobos" (or was that just my family?)

We had fun at the Boo at the Zoo with the Hees family last week.

This week we had "Trunk or Treat" at our church.

We are so excited that our cousins have joined us at Lyons Creek.

What a beautiful fall day to go to the...

PUMPKIN PATCH at Oakes Farm in Corryton.

Thank you sister for the POSE...

They had a new slide at Oakes Farm.

Anna went down it over and over again.

jumpy!!

Come on brother... Let's GO !

Funny Video:

Anna finally got brave and decided to go down HEAD FIRST

like some of the others kids were doing.

Check this out.... (it's even better in slow motion)

No, we are not laughing at her ;)

Weekend of PARTIES

We had a weekend full of parties. I just set up camp in our clubhouse. On Saturday, we had Landon's 1st birthday among family. It was a UT football theme complete with stadium food (hot dogs, popcorn, nachos, etc.) Landon loved the icing on his cake.

He is taking several steps (it won't be long now).

Thanks for the 'pose', Anna!

Happy Birthday to you...
here comes the cake

Anna's job was to help him blow out the candles.

Well, she was not quick enough.

Landon grabbed the flame (see my hand reaching in)

not too bad

On Sunday, we had a 'luau' themed baby shower for Clint & Melissa.

Baby Kai will be here soon!
