Family that works together stays together!

I guess you would like to know the rest of the story... the sheet rockers are done now down to the paint job! I think David has more helping hands than he needs.

We all know the old Primary song, "When We're Helping" we are happy... Tra La La La La La

Look at these bright eye! I am not sure which one was more excited, Cooper or David?

Hunter and I thought there were too many painters in the room, we just watched and enjoyed!

Next we will be painting the base boards, then off to pick out the carpet.

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

We all know this famous story; Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even... oh what is that I hear above my head? David, nailing in boards up in the attic.

Yes, my wonderful husband is at it again! I thought that we were done with home projects for a while. Well, that lasted about a week or so...

David, feels that he need to have a "man cave", so off he went to Home Depot to buy 2X4 and started to pound away up stairs. He has been working every night this week until midnight or later, and then would start again at 5 am. Needless to say, I feel that I have had a constant headache for the past week.

Lets get back to the story, Twas the night before Christmas, when all throuh the house, the pipes for the heating and airconditioning were run. The sheet rock were hung by the window with care, in hopes that it would be done before Kristie pulled out all her hair.


Merry Christmas to all!

Down on the Farm

Cooper petting the little one!











Hunter and Sydnie "wishing" they could take them home...

As many have heard me talk about our next door neighbor’s goats who love to eat my magnolia tree and garden, well there are more!

I got a call earlier in the week from our neighbor, Natasha letting me know they had 5 baby goats, and wanted to have the kids come over to see the baby goats and feed them.

I wasn’t sure how the kids would take to them, since they are so scared of any little animal that comes within 5 feet of them.

David came home on Tuesday night and I gave him the task of taking all three of them to go see the baby goats.

They all really enjoyed getting to hold and feed the “kids”, even Cooper enjoyed it.

Now they all want goats for Christmas, I don't think Santa will have enough room in this toy bag!

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY SYDNIE

Sydnie waking up as a big 6 year old!

Sydnie's 6th Halloween Birthday Party!

This year Sydnie wanted to have a birthday with all her friends. So off I went to plan a Halloween Birthday Party, with the help of my Aunt Ann (she always has the coolest ideas)


I sent the invitations to all of Sydnie's class mates, a few of Hunter and Coopers friends planed all the activities: hay ride, pinata, outdoor games and lots of food! This year has been a very dry year, in the month of October I think it has rained twice and yes as you already guessed one of those days was the night of Sydnie's birthday party...


We had a great time, even though I had to stuff about 30 people in my home.

Sydnie's first field trip

The Fruit and Berry Patch


Sydnie, Michelle and Jordan

This year is a first for a lot of things for Sydnie. Her first year in school with lots to learn, her first play date with her friends from school and best of all her first field trip.

All the kindergartens went to the Fruit and Berry Patch in Halls, TN (this is also the farm we get our fruit for canning). The owners do a great job for the local schools.

The kids got to go on a hay ride, minus the hay, go thru a corn maze, pick an apple from a apple tree, feed goats at the petting zoo, and last pick their own pumpkins.

Sydnie had to find the just the right apple!

It's the great pumpkin Sydnie!

It was great to see how excited the kids were about this trip.
