Merry-Go-Round...

We went to fastlane this past weekend with Chris's mom and sisters and their families. And this pretty much sums up what Molly did the whole time. Of all the games, and fun things to look at she wanted to ride the Merry-Go-Round the whole time. Actually all of my girls did. Look how sweet she is, and so big.



New adventure...

My sweet husband sent me flowers last week. You ask why, well I have decided to go back to work fulltime. I know shocked, right!!! This job just kind of fell into my lap, and was a good opportunity for us to be able to get some things done around the house. So, for now, I am back to working fulltime. We have found some amazing people to watch the girls, and bring Carter home from school, so it just kind of confirmed that I am doing the right thing. Not sure that it will last forever, but for now it is a great job with great people. And the girls love having all these new people to play with each day.

Back to the flowers, he sent me tulips on my first day. I love tulips...they were so perfect and unexpected. They were bright and colorful and made my dark office come to life. Thanks dear!!

If you think about it, pray for us as we start this whole new territory with me working fulltime and still managing the home.



Soccer...

We had our first experience with soccer recently. Carter wanted to give it a try, so we did. I think he liked it, but I can honestly say that it was not my favorite but all that matters is he had a good time. His teammates would sometimes show up and sometimes not, but Carter was always there. He made some goals, and played hard everytime...even in the freezing weather. Not sure we will do it again, but I guess we will have to wait until next fall to find out.








Can you imagine the speed? Ha

Saddles and Tiaras...

We had a great time this year going to some families houses and then to our church for the annual Fall Fest. And all I have to say is my kids love CANDY, especially Bailey. She wanted to hold every piece and not put it in her bag.

Tinkerbell, Cowboy Dan, Princess Tia, and last but not least Snow White. We certainly had some royalty among us.


Of course you have to go visit Nana and Papa Webb, they always have the best candy


And then you certainly can't forget Aunt Lavon, Aunt Debbie and Aunt Lucy...






And of course Raymond too....My kids LOVE these guys. We love that they love our kids as well.

BEST RACE EVER!!!!

Most of you know that since working for Rubbermaid I became some what of a NASCAR fan. So, for 9 years, I have been to a race at least once a year, and a couple of years 2 in a year. Needless to say, I have became a much bigger fan. My friend Renae and I have made it a goal of ours to go to one together at least once a year. So, this year we went to Martinsville, VA this past weekend. I flew into Charlotte where Renae lives, we hung out and just relaxed on Saturday and then ALL DAY SUNDAY we spent in the pit/garage area of the Martinsville track. It was by far the BEST RACE I have been too, and like I said I have been to A LOT. I will explain more why with the pictures below.

Here we are on the track...love this girl and the fact that we share these funtimes, not everyone gets it


This is ONE of the BIGGEST reasons the day was such a success and one of the BEST. Carl Edwards is my favorite driver and I have tried for 6 LONG years to get a picture with him or even an autograph. AND THIS YEAR it finally happened for both Renae and I. If you can't tell I am VERY excited. And to make it even better we were the only ones he took a picture with.


We have been on many pit/garage tours, but this year got the HOT pass, meaning we had behind the scenes access for the entire race and could even watch the race from there. It also meant that we got to go to Victory Lane. We have never gotten to do that before, so YAH another thing marked off our list. And although Carl didn't win, it was still fun to see the excitement and Tony Stewart get out of the car.



This was our view for the entire race...we stood from 9:15 - 6:15, but all of it was totally worth it. We stood in Carl's pit box the entire time, watching his team get him a great finish. Again, another reason why this was a great race.



Here is to making next year even better, if that is even possible. HA

Annual Hayride and Cookout

We had our annual Sunday School class hayride and cookout at our teachers farm. Carter LOVES going out there and fishing at Mr. Jeff's. It was such a great night for it, the weather was perfect, and I think as always all the kids had a great time.

Check out Kennedy's face...she is rotten


Brynnlee, McKenna, and Kennedy watching all the others fish


Look at his face...he really does love to fish


And this sweet thing, how can you resist to kiss that face. She had a rough night while we were there for a little bit with a tummy ache, but after about 30 mins she was back to her happy self.

Pumpkin Patch comes to visit...

Carter's preschool had the pumpkin patch come to them this year. There were a lot of fun activities for the kids, and I think Carter had a good time. They got to pick a pumpkin at the end, and he picked one for Molly (Molly had given the one she had gotten at the pumpkin patch to him) so I think he wanted to make sure she had one. So sweet!!!

Here are his sweet teachers, Mrs. Hunter and Mrs. Brown. They are great, and Carter LOVES them. He is such a teachers pet, he does get something from me I guess. Ha


Trying his skills at the hula hoop


Carter and his friend Addison, we are friends from church and her dad coaches basketball at the high school. So they have become really good friends.


He was trying to locate snakes and spiders....
