Last Week

Baylor got put to work cleaning KayKay's windows

As tradition dictates we celebrated Mim's bday (a little early) at California Pizza Kitchen

all Mim needs is her blonde hair back and they are sooo twins!! Look at that big smile

It was time for the annual Trunk-R- Treat at OC. There were cute costumes and candy every where. We were all Disney pals...Big Minnie, Little Minnie, Sorcerer Mickey and Goofy.

Nana, Papa, Uncle Jeremy, Mim, KayKay, Tex and us...we were just missing Uncle Travis:(

Connor goes to church w/ us and is in class with Mrs. Dele

Here we are w/ Lila (aka The Little Mermaid) and Ruby (June from Little Einsteins)

Xander and Pais were straight out of the 50's and Caroline was the sweetest little kitty cat

Gracie was a bumble bee

these two love each other soooo much

Most of the girls: Fenley was the Little Mermaid, Avery was a pink poodle, Macy was a butterfly (so was Harper, but she wouldn't get in the pic), Caroline was Sleeping Beauty and my sweet Minnie is on the end

Here's the adults of our LG minus Kim, Kevin and Amy G...You see the Houston's, Scott, Chad and Nathan did not dress up!!! Jeff had ditched his hat by then.

Fall Break in Savannah

We had so much fun hanging out with Mim in her new city. We read books...

made silly faces...

and we skyped Unlce Travis everyday. The kids thought this was cool

Mim took us downtown to see the sights. We saw Paula Deen's, but didn't want to wait in line to eat there. Visited a friend that lives downtown and had milk & cookies. Walked the river front and did some window shopping. Below you see Mim and Baylor walking through one of the many town squares.

It was bit brezzy to be down by the river. I'm sure it's more fun in the spring/summer

I love how he is deciding whether to kiss her or not...she had just bought him some fudge from the candy kitchen

'Oh I guess I will'

At Savannah Bee Company you can taste test several different types of honey and the kids can go to 'Bee School'

We drove to South Carolina (@ an hour) to what we thought was a pumpkin farm...They ain't got nothin' on TN!!!

They did have a funny looking miniature horse

Who knew you could find the world's largest mailbox down the road from my sister's

Mim loves the Spanish moss trees that are all over Savannah

We took advantage of the pretty afternoon and played at the park. Christian is pretending to be some kind of monster

These two were inseparable our whole trip. B sure loves her Mim!!!

We set the timer up to take this one...not too bad. Just a few hours later, Baylor and I were in an urgent care clinic b/c her left ear was bleeding. She had another ear infection and a busted ear drum, but did this girl complain? Not once!!! The doc said she was one strong little girl.

After dinner we had Smores...we all thought they were super yummy

Does he look like he was going to throw up in a couple hours? But that's just what he did...poor Mim cleaned most of it up. (We're just training her really well for when she has kids of her own)

Me and My sis

My kids have been doing a lot of growing up lately and Mim just couldn't believe Christian took showers all by himself

Mim decided to braid Baylor's hair

It turned out cute:)

We had a great trip. The only thing that made it better was that Mim rode home with us and stayed in TN for a few days:) It was fun surprising KayKay and Tex b/c they had no idea she was coming

Pure Joy

Baylor's Open House

Otter Creek had a time last night for parents to come see what their kids have been doing and show off their room. Baylor loves her teacher--Mrs. Dele is fantastic!! In fact the whole school is full of fantastic women that love the Lord and our children. We are so thankful to have sent Christian and now Baylor through this wonderful place.

The kids were asked to draw a picture and tell what it was. Dele had them laminated and on the wall for us to see. Some kids said their picture was of Batman or a fish (it really did almost look like one). Baylor's is below...can you read it?

She loves her best friend Caroline:) They are so sad not to be in the same class this year and we are praying that will change next fall. They have so much fun together and ask about one another ALL THE TIME. Amy and I made sure to sign them up for some after school activities together--they look forward to that time every week.

Even though they are far from her favorite thing, Baylor made a spider with her hands and below you can see the leaves everyone painted

Baylor's hand print is part of the stem at the very top

This was the best pic I could get of Catherine and Baylor--She's our newest school friend

Star Wars

Storm Trooper

I took Christian and our neighbor Bailey to meet some Star Wars characters in Green Hills. We had mock light saber duels while we waited in line and then R2 came strolling along the hallway!!

The boys were excited to get a special gun to hold:)

Chewbacca came out after we had met the other characters...he was huge!!
