One tired girl!!!

Molly is wiped out! She was bouncing away in her Johnny Jumper when all of a sudden we looked up and this is how we found her! She is just like her daddy, he could sleep anywhere!

Molly is crawling! It is so cute to watch her get upon her knees and stretch out to her tippy toes all to do the "army crawl"

Best of Friends

Ethan and Dawson are best buddies. I think Ethan is about a month older than Dawson. They have alot in common with "CARS" and just love playing together

Boys shall be boys!!!

Our Anniversary Fall Drive

As I mentioned in a previous post we were going to lunch and then for a drive. We did have a really nice yummy lunch at the Copper River Grill. We took Hwy 25 up to Hendersonville and up 26 north to the exit for Bevard. From there it was all back country roads and a beautiful drive. We stopped at Eagle Rock and what a beautiful view it was. It has been several years since we have had such a beautiful fall.

Our Lady Bug

Our Greenville Zoo puts together a Trick or Treat for the children handing out candy throughout the zoo. Being that we went in the evening the animals were bedded down for the night.

Our Lady Bug already for an adventure. She loved watching all of the children dressed up.

I think sometimes she wished she had eyes in the back of her head so she wouldn't miss a thing!

She is having a wonderful time!

"What in the world am I sitting on!?"

OUR 35TH ANNIVERSARY

Yesterday Audy and I celebrated 35 years of marriage. We spent it in a very unusual way and at the end of the day we both agreed it was a very nice day!
Melissa Sims Kohler invited us to attend their church for Lani's baby dedication. So we all headed to Greer for the celebration. It's amazing that these babies are growing so fast. She is now 7 months old! Not sure of the details but they were late arriving because Miss Lani threw up all over her pretty dress just as they were leaving for church.....
From there we headed to our favorite restaurant Lieu's for lunch. We had been invited to lunch by our dearest friends Randy and Diane Miller. Our friendship goes way back to 1982 in Okinawa, Japan. It was such a sweet time of fellowship and of course our food was yummy!
Then we headed home for a much needed snooze and then we received a text message from Jessica that we could meet at 5:45p.m. at their house for BOO IN THE ZOO....so we packed up the wagon and put on some warm clothes and headed into Greenville. Our little Molly was all decked out in her Lady Bug outfit and ready to go trick or treating at the zoo. We had such a fun time watching her look at the other kids in awe. Unfortunately the animals had already decided they had enough for the day and were in bed! So Molly made out really good in her goody bag of candy!
We continue to celebrate our wonderful day....after a nice lunch at Copper River Grill we are taking a drive up to the mountains to see the FALL changes before Audy is heading to work. He took a few hours of vacation leave and is going in late. Every year we say we are going to do this but life is so busy Fall is over before we know it.

HAPPY 13TH ANNIVERSARY

On this day in 1995 Katie married her bestfriend.....hard to believer it's been 13 years!

James took her out to brunch so the kids got busy making their cookies for them.

Working little beavers. Jessalyn always goes and gets her great grandma Jessie's apron.

Dawson volunteered to cleanup and did a good job!

The end results....

GO! GO! TEAM

Just a few pictures that Papa captured yesterday Jesssalyn cheering at Bryson's football game. They were all so adorable!

MOLLY'S FIRST FALL

We got together as a family for the first time since the beach. We had a great time as we always do getting together. I will have some fun pictures to post next weekend as we are going to "BOO IN THE ZOO" with the grandchildren. They get to wear their costumes and wander around the zoo collecting candy. It should be alot of fun.
This is our "famous" dolphin that I have pictures of all 4 grandchildren now!

Molly's first pumpkin. It is almost as big as she is. I haven't figured out how to get the read eye out of my pictures with my new camera...next time

Aren't these the cutest shoes? Her Auntie Ivie bought them for her.

COUPONS

With the gas prices all of us are looking for extra ways to save an extra buck! For all my local friends be sure and click on Karen's wesite on the right of my blog as she has worked very hard in sharing extra blessings in savings. If any of you have ideas on saving us all money be sure and leave her a comment.
I did get a good deal on my pumpkins. At Whole Foods until the end of the month their pumpkins are 3/13.00 and you can buy one at a time. Mine weighed out almost 16lbs. I read an articule that you get about 4 1/2 cups of pumpkin to every 5lbs. I figured out with that pumpkin I am getting 2cups (= to 1 small can pumpkin) for about $.50. The avg. price for pumpkin is $1.30. These pumpkins are very healthy looking compared to the sorry looking ones I have seen at Walmart!
