Halloween

Patiently waiting to carve the pumpkin and get out of the house!


We were a little late carving our pumpkin! Here, David was carving it just before leaving for trick-or-treating!


My sweet little Batman!


Having fun with friends Nathan (fireman) and Logan (Batman).


Chase LOVED trick-or-treating once he got the hang of it! He even walked into someone's house looking for the candy!

Northwest Rankin Homecoming

This year's Homecoming theme was "Disney Movies", so our float (Oakdale Elementary (where I teach) chose to be Air Bud. We all dressed up in various uniforms and used my dog-in-law, Belle as "Air Bud". We had fun! The kids love it every year.

End of the summer pics....

My sweet friend, Amy Bates took our family pictures this summer at our house. Amy and I used to teach together at Northwest Rankin, but she is now taking awesome pictures on the side of staying home with her boys. She did an awesome job for us! Check out her blog if you ever need great pictures taken.... http://www.amybatesphotography.blogspot.com/

At this point, we were struggling to get a decent picture of us with the kids! This picture just made us laugh! Thank goodness our sweet photographer had a ton of patience and lots of silly songs to sing!


At 4 years old, Carter has a hard time smiling naturally, so the serious look for him is the best way to go!

Amy certainly captured a good one of Chase and his proud mama! If you look close, it looks like I am engaged! The truth is, I accidently left my wedding band in the house.

I love Carter's eyes in this picture.

That smile melts my heart!!
