It's beginning to look alot like CHRISTMAS

We finally put up the tree today. We turned on some Christmas music and got busy. The kids love to help. I would have put the tree up the day after Halloween, but Aubrey wasn't having that. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I actually already have gifts to put under the tree, but I'm not sure how Rocky is going to do, he will want to eat them I am sure.

Christmas Cards

Today after church I took the kids to the Industrial Park so I could get some pictures. Every year I always try to do something different. I wanted to do something with them on the railroad tracks. My kids was scared to death that a train was going to come, so needless to say I had to make it quick. These are my favorite pictures, so I will have to decide which to use for my Christmas cards.

Tennessee vs Wyoming

We took the kids to the Tennessee game. It was Kassie and Hayden's first time. Hayden had a blast and can't wait to go back. Kassie don't really care if she ever goes back (or at least till she gets older). Taylor took her friend Tori, of course they also had a blast. I was so glad we had good weather, at times we actually got hot. Our seats were great! Even though the Vols are having a bad year, we all had a great time. We will always support our VOLS.

Tagged by Heather....

Ok, so I was tagged by Heather to go to my fourth file, fourth photo and tell four things about it. So here goes......

This isn't the best picture, but it is Jessica and I on our 10th Anniversary weekend in Gatlinburg.

1. Jessica is one of my very best friends, we have been friends for a long time.

2. We got married on the same day, same year just an hour apart. That was not planned.

3. Our wonderful husbands had cooked us dinner that night, so after we had ate we decided to pile on the couch and watch a movie.

4. I guess you realize you are getting older when you can't make it through a movie without falling asleep on your Anniversary weekend.HA

Now I TAG....

1. Ashley Jackson

2. Melanie Hicks

3. Jamie Pollard

Keep the fun going.....

High School Musical 3

We had so much fun going to the movies. It was Michaela's birthday, so Kassie, Hayden and myself went with them. I have to say it was such a great movie. The kids had a blast.

Tori, Darcy, Taylor, Michaela, Zoe

Hayden and Tanner had to join in on the fun.

~Halloween~

We had so much fun this year. We started out down town. I have say that the kids loved going to the business to trick or treat. Then we headed to the church to trunk or treat. We went to our family's house also. Then we met up with some friends and went through Webster subdivision. By the end of the night the kids were exhausted.

Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

This year we let the kids pretty much carve their own pumpkin. They loved it! We have always carved pumpkins every year. This year was a little late. We came home from school on Thursday Oct 30, and seen that our pumpkins was still sitting on the steps, not carved. I had forgot all about them. We have been so busy, between basketball and dance. Taylor's friend Tori came and carved her pumpkin with us this year. She is our new neighbor and Taylor loves that she has someone to play with.

Tori working hard.

Okay, so my kids wanted to eat the seeds. I have never cooked pumpkins seeds before, I had no idea????

Lets ~DANCE~

Taylor and Kassie take Hip Hop at Arts in Motion in Rockwood. Each year they pick a few classes to perform in the Annual Fall Festival in Rockwood. My girls love to dance! It is a large class, I want to think they are 30 kids in that class. Ashley Austin does a great job with those kids. I can't imagine teaching that many kids a dance. The morning of the performance Kassie said she did not want to dance and I ask why and she said " I am not dancing in front of all those people". Needless to say if you could have seen her dance she was extremely shy. But I am so proud of them both it takes alot of courage to dance in front of a large crowd. And this also is Kassie first year taking dance, we tried when she was three and she did not want anything to do with it. This is Taylor's fifth year dancing, we took two years off and this year she decided to start back.
