The Great Outdoors











Here are some pics of the kids at my parents house. I love all the trees and I forget how fun it is to play in the leaves!...until someone has to rake them!

Halloween Extravaganza















































































Here are pictures of our Halloween Extravaganza. Some of the pictures are from Presley's Preschool party. All of the kids had so much fun in their costumes. They played games and got to eat tons of Halloween goodies! I didn't realize what a production these preschool parties would be! I was very impressed with these creative moms! After the party, the kids got to trick-or-treat around the businesses down town. It was fun until Presley wanted to be carried on the way back! On Halloween night, we all got together at Scott's mom's house for soup, chili, hot dogs and all the fixings. All the grandkids and cousins were there and even some of our friends joined us. You should have seen us all walking down the street together trick-or-treating....it was crazy and someone even asked us if we were a church group. We really do have a large family when everybody gets together! It was a great night! Presley was a butterfly and Chase was a tree frog. I dressed up like a tree. This was appropriate because Chase is totally a momma's boy right now and is connected to my hip most of the time. Presley ran with the big kids this year (and a skinned knee brought alot of drama!) Chase got the hang of it quickly and would carry his bucket up to the doors with his hands out for donations. They were both proud of their loot!...and Scott & I have enjoyed it as well!

Carving a Jack-o-lantern
















The kids carved a Jack-o-lantern with Nana and Grandaddy. They were a little unsure of the icky insides, but were amazed with the end result!

Awe...The Memories!











We moved out of our house on Oct. 23rd. I had tears in my eyes looking at the empty house and thinking about all the great memories we've had there the past 6 years. We're going to miss this place, but can't wait to make our new house a home! speaking of...if you haven't heard, the house we have a signed contract on has a $30,000 tax lean against it that the owners forgot to mention. So, we've moved in with Scott's parents waiting to see if the Fed's are going to release the lean so that we can have the house. We've heard that we're suppose to find out something within the next 14 days. Keep your fingers crossed and if anyone has any connections with the IRS please let us know! :)
