Tate Farms Pumpkin Patch

The kids and I went on a field trip with Aubrey's Bright Lights group to Tate Farms Pumpkin Patch and we had so much fun. The kids walked through a hay maze, pet a few animals, jumped on this fun new contraption they had and played on the playground. They were so cute running around and they behaved so well. I was so thankful! Then we got to go on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and each choose a pumpkin. This was one of their favorite things that they got to do! Here are some cute pics!

Rental House

Our rental house was hit by the tornado in April so we had to have it rebuilt. We were able to keep the bones of the house but almost everything else had to be redone. Our good friend Keith Carlisle and his building company worked on our house and it looks amazing. Here are a few photos of the newly remodeled rental house. I just hope someone wants to rent or buy it now.

Fall Family Campout

This past weekend was our family campout. I was feeling nauseous from the pregnancy and the kids had colds but we decided to go and have fun anyways and that is exactly what we did. Aubrey and Eli had a blast driving the little four wheeler by themselves. We love our new tent that we got for Christmas last year and how much room we have. Uncle Biv dislocated his elbow playing volleyball and had to be rushed the emergency room and though they put it back in place, he is still in lots of pain and there may be more damage. We had our annual family auction and the kids love bidding on the fun toys. Mom Mom came out with Opi and Omi and she made cloth napkins with Aubrey which Aubrey is very proud of. We were supposed to have a much smaller campout this year because several families could not make it but I was very excited at how many still showed up. We had so much fun and can't wait until next year.

Aubrey's Kindergarten Pictures

Aubrey recently had her kindergarten pictures made, and she looked adorable. She will have a kindergarten graduation ceremony at the end of the school year so she had some of her pictures made in a cap and gown. Seeing her in that cap and gown made me feel like her entire life flashed before my eyes and she was graduating high school. She looked beautiful! Eli and Ava decided to pose for a picture or two as well!

Mimi's Birthday

While we were in Sweetwater last, we celebrated Mimi's birthday during the TN vs FL game. This was a cute picture of Mimi and the the kids.

Camp Fire at Puh Puh's House

The last time we stayed at Puh Puh and Mimi's house, Puh Puh made a camp fire for us and the kids had so much fun swinging in the hammock, kicking soccer balls into the goal and making hot dogs and smores in the campfire. I hope that some day we have a yard big enough where we can do all those things at our house!

40th Anniversary

Pappa and Gramma celebrated a 4oth Wedding Anniversary and Jamie put together a special dinner for us to surprise them. It was a great time and we are all very proud that they have made it 40 years because that is very unusual in our world today!

Destin Beach Vacation

I have a lot of catching up to do so there are going to be several posts. The kids and I went with my family to the beach in August and we had so much fun. The kids love the beach, but now that Aubrey can swim by herself and Eli thinks he can swim by himself, they LOVE the pool. Here are some cute pictures from Destin!
