Thanksgiving Visit w' Friends

I am so very thankful we were able to meet up with some of our best buds who we've not seen in a long time. It was great to see all the kids together and catch up over the weekend. Hoping we can do it again soon! :) Miss not having all my girls in town!

Gamecocks beat Clemson!! Cockadoodledo! :)

The kids were so excited this past weekend to watch our Gamecocks play. We were all even more excited to watch them win the state title against Clemson. :) I just love getting my babies all dressed up in Gamecock gear!

Halloween

Okay so yes I'm ashamed to say I have been slack in the blogging department with my own family. :( Here's some pics from Halloween. We had such a blast going over to the grandparents houses and watching Channel 146 perform at a local church.

Fun At The Fair!

We all had a blast at the SC State Fair this year with Mimi, Papa, Uncle Stevie, Tucker, Riley and Ragen! I was so impressed with Dawson riding so many rides this year. Madalynn is finally old enough now to enjoy them too and boy did she ever!! She is not afraid of anything. LOL!! From rides, to games, to petting farm animals, the kids had such a great time and didn't want to leave. The best part for Mommy is always enjoying the elephant ears - YUMMY!!! :)

Fun In the Mountains!

The weather was beautiful and highs were in the 70's and lows in the 50's. It was perfect! We took the kids gem mining and even trout fishing. The best part was the nature trail walks we took with the kids. The leaves were not at their peak but gorgeous all the same.




We made great time arriving Friday afternoon and were able to get everything set up and enjoy a beautiful sunset before dark.

Labor Day Fun 2011

We wanted to make sure and spend this day off as a family and doing something fun together. However, when we first woke up we weren't sure if the weather was going to allow us to go to the river as planned. But, as the morning went on we decided to chance it and I am so glad we did! The weather ended up being perfect...not too hot with a nice breeze! :)

First day in First Grade

It's so hard to believe that my little man is now a first grader. After school, he came down to my room and was so tired. He just wanted to have a snack and take a nap. However, after taking a power nap in the car on the way home, he perked up and was ready to talk about his first day back. He was so excited about how they looked up astronaut clues and wrote the school rules. Of course, nothing was better than being able to see that his cousin, Thomas was in his class too!! They was the icing on the cake for him! LOL

I can't wait to see what this year has in store for him. He is going to learn so much I can tell and I am so thankful for his teacher, Mrs. Garrett. :)
