A beautiful day at the park!

Running and running! What could possibly be more fun?!
Rolling down the hill was their favorite activity today. They all did it over and over, and even got other little kids to do it too!

If I had a yard that looked like this, the kids would be outside everyday! They absolutely loved all the space and freedom to just run and roll!

There they GO!

Why is it that kids have to find the dangerous stuff to do when there is a whole playground full of entertaining and SAFE things to do?!

Driving his remote control car.

My picture downloader wasn't working right, so the next post is part of this one as well.

Beautiful fall colors!

Harvest Party

The kids and I had alot of fun at Tim and Annabel's Harvest Party last Saturday! Great weather, wonderful food, and Tim built an awesome firepit with seating for everyone!! Great job guys!!

Caleb and Landon painting pumpkins! Annabel is so creative with kids activities! I don't think you could even tell it was a pumpkin by the time Caleb got done adding coat after coat of paint! :)

Tim's awesome firepit. Abbie loved all the acitivity and people and attention!

Abbie's big "CHEESE" for the picture and Caleb watching Tim build the fire.

Abbie, Caleb, and Tim.

Caleb and Uncle Tim!! Caleb loves Tim so much!

Landon and Caleb bobbing for apples. They loved this!

There they go, not quite the conventional way of bobbing, but it worked.

Abbie had to come over and check out the fun!

Me and Abs.

Decorating cookies for a special treat after lunch.

Dad helped Abigale decorate her cookie; unfortunately, he didn't get to eat any of it...

Another fun, edible, after-lunch project.

Caleb, very proud of his abominable snowman.

Good morning, sunshine!

Updated Pictures

Anthony (a friend of ours) and Caleb moving cross ties with the backhoe. Caleb did a great job steering and using the gears!
Looking behind him to make sure he won't run over anything....

He absolutely loved doing this! He says he is going to be a farmer someday so he can drive tractors and bobcats and backhoes everyday!

Sunday morning before church...

Wonderworks, Sevierville TN

A few weeks ago, we were able to go to an interactive, fun attraction in Seveirville Tn, Wonderworks. It has tons of exciting things for people of all ages to do, and we love it!


Caleb was a little unsure about going into an upsidedown, creaking, smoking building. He got over it pretty quickly though!

Abbie checking it out!

She would have ridden this the whole night if we had let her!!

Caleb, making an impression! Ha ha! Get it?

On the giant piano. I always knew he had great music skills!

The world's youngest astronaut!

And his Dad!!

Cool fog!

I love Caleb's face here! He looks so happy!

Museum of Appalachia

I took the kids to the Museum of Appalachia last week and had a great time with them! Caleb especially loved the animals, and Abbie liked picking up rocks and sticks. :)

Before we went in, I snapped a cute picture. Aren't they just too sweet?

Walking in....

Caleb with Uncle Sam. He told me it wasn't his uncle.

One of the barns that we visited.

An old jail cell.

Caleb took a picture of Abbie and me.

Caleb heading towards the animals.

Turkeys. They were kind of scary. He tried to stick his fingers in the pen and they were eager to taste them!

Sheep! Very calm animals. I like sheep.

Big Tater Valley School House. Caleb's new school! Ha ha! Just kidding!

Abbie checking out the outhouse. She's so tiny compared the the HUGE outhouse!
