Thanksgiving in Glenrose

We had a great time at Thanksgiving in Glenrose! Probably the most active we have had to be in all the years we have been going there! Just tried to keep kids busy, played a lot outside. This year bikes and walking the dogs were a big hit! Oh and pushing tricycles and 4 wheelers around!


Walkin the dog! Dakota was the only one brave enough to walk the black dog, Bella, I think! She's a baby and barks loudly!


Two GORGEOUS girls!

O Give Thanks Thanksgiving Program

This was Dakota's first year in choir and she absolutely loved it! Although you won't be able to tell from these wonderful photos! She loves to sing and dance at home and in the truck and at VBS last summer, but this time I don't guess she was feelin it! She was so excited that everyone was coming to see her program and then when she got up there...nothin! It was still cute though!


Bubbles in your mouth = quiet



Don't know what this was about!

Fall Festival

Our church did not hold a Fall Festival this year, so we took the kids down the road to a church of Eastchase called Sagamore Baptist. Dakota had such a good time! She played EVERY game and would have played them all again if we had let her! They had games and a trunk or treat where you just go from car to car and get candy. A few families from our church ended up there! We all had fun!

The State Fair

We took the kids to the Fair in October. It was hot, but we had a fun day dragging the kids around and Denver finally fell asleep as we were making our way back to the truck! But he didn't miss a thing!!! Oh, and we ate GOOD!


This pic below was when we were watching the dog show.

Denver's 1st Birthday

Here are a few pictures from Denver's Birthday back in October. He was hesitant about eating his cake, but finally got into it!

Dakota's 1st Day of Pre-School

I dropped Dakota off at Mrs. Talley's this morning for the first time! She was so excited, can you tell?! She has been talking about this the entire summer. "When am I going to Ms. Talley school?" No, I didn't cry! Everything happened so fast I barely got a picture of her and I didn't get a smoochie either! That's okay though, I know she is having a good ole time! The pic above is at the little school and the ones below are before we left the house! She informed me that she needed a sweater cause it looked like winter outside! She's a hoot! Ugh, the past few days here have been sooo nice! It's cool outside and it feels so refreshing to step outside and not start sweating immediately! Feels like fall, but I think it's only to tease us!

Quick Video of Dakota

Aaron's family gathered at the Thompson's for a pool party a couple of weekends ago when Bipaw was in town preaching at Tate Springs. Anyhow, they had a slide into the pool and Dakota just couldn't get enough of it! It started out just sitting at the end and Grumps kinda pulling her in and she slowly got braver and braver! She got really close to going from the top, but she got almost all the way up the ladder and I think she realized it was too high for her and said, "No, I no wanna go down that way!" And that was that!
