Mandy's Surprise 30th Birthday!!

Chad with his birthday cupcake! I thought that I should get him something since it was his birthday on Saturday

Mandy cutting her own cake. I couldn't get a picture of her smiling with her cake.
The crew together again. I love these guys. I wish that we could get together more often.



I haven't posted anything since Halloween. Boy have we been busy. December is even worse. We have something planned every weekend this month. Well this Saturday we threw Mandy a SURPRISE 30th Birthday party. She sure was surprised. Her birthday is not until the end of the month but with everyone being so busy Chad decided we needed to do it early. So we did it Saturday which happened to be his birthday also. We had such a great time. I didn't take as many pictures as I planned on taking but here are a few. I didn't get the best one and that was her face when she walked in. She didn't know what to think. She thought that Chad had thrown himself a party ha ha.

Happy Halloween!!

My three wonderful children!!!

Eating a sucker

We went to our church tonight because they were having Trunk or Treat. Noah had a good time playing games, riding the hayride, and getting lots of candy. Gracyn and Garrett on the other hand didn't enjoy themselves as much. I tried to take some good pictures of them before we left but they weren't cooperating with their mommy.

Trip to Jackson's Orchard

During our Fall Break we took a trip to Jackson's Orchard. We got to ride on the wagon and pick out a pumpkin. After that the kids got to play in the hay castle and drink an apple cider slushee and get a cookie. The day was great for an outing like this.

Noah and Snow White



Noah's favorite animal at the zoo the Meerkats



Here are a few pictures of our trip to the zoo. The day that went was the first day of the biggest Halloween party so we took a few pictures with the characters there.

Gracyn "What's Up???"

Well during Noah's fall break he spent a couple of days with us and then spent some time with his daddy. We went to the Louisville Zoo and then we took a trip to Patti's Settlement just the three of us (Gabe, me, and Noah) Gracyn and Garrett spent the day with their Granny and Pa and LOVED every minute of it. I know I haven't updated lately but it just seems like we have been VERY VERY busy. I started back to work part time last week. I was pretty upset about having to leave the kids but I trust the babysitter that we have picked and I just hope that everything works out.

UT Game!!

Gabe wants one of these in his yard! CRAZY!!

This is so neat when they do this!
Here they come!
Now this is a GREAT way to tailgate!!
The final score of the game! We always have to take a picture of this (if they win)

Ok many of you know that my husband is a huge UT fan. Well I think that I may be turning into one. I LOVE going to the football games. I wish that we had a chance to go to all of them but that would be very hard to do. If you haven't ever been to a UT game and you are a fan you really need to go. It is a great atmosphere. I just wanted to share some of our pictures that we took.

GO VOLS!!!

Happy Birthday to the Best Husband!!!

Tuesday September 25th was Gabe's birthday! We didn't do much because that Saturday we went to the UT football game. Thankfully someone gave us the tickets or we probably wouldn't have been able to go. Thanks to my mom and grandmother they came over and watched the kids for us. So we got a night away.

I made Gabe his favorite cake (yellow cake with chocolate icing). We went to BW3's and ate supper.

Happy Birthday Gabe! I love you VERY much. Thanks for being the best father and husband!!

Some more cute pictures!

Garrett in deep thought

Ok I know I know. Enough with the pictures. I just had to post these pictures though they were to cute :-)

It looks like I took more pictures of Garrett because I did. Gracyn was in a bad mood after we made her slide down the slide a couple of times and Noah was running around everywhere.

More Pictures from the Park.

Ok I know I need to know how to post more than a few pictures at a time. I am new to this whole blog thing. So if anyone wants to come over and have a computer class with me I am available M-F 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. Thanks :-)

Day at the Park!!

Gracyn swinging HIGH!!!

Yesterday we took a trip to the park. Garrett loves to slide and Gracyn loves to swing. They didn't last very long before they got sleepy and ready for a nap. We first went to see the ducks and then we went to another park because the one at Three Springs was WAY to crowded. Noah also had a good time. He had stayed with my grandmother all weekend so when she brought him to the park he was happy to see his brother and sister.
