Treat or Treat

This was our first year in a long time to trick or treat in Georgia.  Last time we did, Whitney was one and I was pregnant with Lindsey and even then we really didn't even go trick or treating, just dressed Whitney up in her little chick costume and went to the street party.

Anyway, we had a ton of fun this year gathering with a bunch of friends in one of their neighborhoods.  Whitney was peacock and Lindsey was a kitty cat (taking after Jack, of course).

Kindergarten Field Trip

Hanging out with Lindsey and Mrs. Sproles class at Washington Farms!



Pretty Princesses

Ariel, Cinderella and Sleepy Beauty, the other two were out getting dirty...

 

Carving Pumpkins

Time to meet  Mr. Jack O Lantern again!

???

I can't recall for the life of me where these pictures are from, but they are too sweet not to share.  Love these girls and their completely different personalities!

Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkins, hayrides, corn mazes.  Some of our favorite things this time of year!  Whitney was our fearless  leader through the maze this year.  Like, really did it all on her own following the map.  Sweet memories.

We Love Visitors

My mom and dad came down for a long over due visit!  We had a busy week, but had a great time  visiting in between all the stuff.  Ben and dad took a fun to trip to Durhamtown on Friday.  Dad's first time...not Ben's first time. :)  I think he liked it!

Then we relaxed around the fire pit at night

Booooo!!!  For early morning goodbyes!  But thankful for the time!

More Football?

So, the Vikings called on our way back home from Ohio yesterday.  We were mid-Tennessee.  They wanted him to come in for a workout, fly out that night.  One problem, we were mid-Tennessee, in the new RV.  Imagine my surprise when I hear Ben tell the guy on the phone that he could fly out of Knoxville.  I'm sorry, come again?  Just what did he think we were going to do with this monstrosity of a vehicle?  I certainly was not ready to get behind the wheel to take me and the girls the rest of the way home.  Thankfully, they arranged for him to fly out early this morning instead.  Ben was excited for the workout.  They have one guy hurt, and thought they had another, but turns out he is going to be fine, so they didn't need Ben.  And back home he came.

Dreams Come True in Ohio

We've had many dreams come true in Ohio.  From childhood Christmas wish lists fulfilled to school accomplishments.   Winning National Championships to marrying each other.  20+ years of dreams coming true there.  But now, now another dream has come true in Ohio for my dear, sweet hubby.

There she is.  We are the proud owners of this beauty.  Found after countless hours years of research and evaluating and contemplating.  Found in, you guessed it, Ohio.  Lebanon no less, where my brother lives.  We had already been planning a trip up to visit family and for the harvest, so the fact that we could also slip on over and sign some paperwork was a mega plus!

She's ours!

First time sitting his tooshie in that seat!

Looking forward to making many great memories as a family in the ol' family truckster!

The girls with Aunt Meghan.  We got to visit with her and my brother over dinner after the purchase!

In other news from Ohio, we got to visit Aunt Faythe and Uncle Don and do a little Halloween crafting!

We met baby Brooks for the first time

We played with the pigs at Aunt Abby's and Uncle CJ's

And played with walking sticks...on our face.  Maybe, really just one  of us did that.

We played with cousins, harvested some beans and played in some beans

These boys had some serious conversations and work to do!

Then we headed back home in our new ride!  Fueling up and washing up for the long haul!
