Welcome to the World Baby Tripp

One of my dearest & cherished friends in the world had her first baby Saturday, October 25th...Tripp Harper Gray. I want to send a special "Congratulations" to his Mommy & Daddy - Chris & Will! He is a beautiful baby boy & will forever from this day be the center of your soul. Know that only through God are things possible...He is your way & Tripp is your blessing!

I am truly so happy for my friend Christina - She waited & chose the right man & now has another little man who will steal her heart!

Haunted Halloween

Third Thursday put on their monthly family fun downtown on Oct 16th & we were there for it! There were lots of games/prizes, a haunted house & fall pictures with Strawberry Blonde Photography! Well, since Aunt Chrissy is part of the Third Thursday committee - we had to attend!! It was a nice night outside & the kids had a blast bobbing for apples, fishing & doing the cake walk! Can't wait to see what they do for November.

Family, Friends & Lots of Playtime

Pumpkin Patch

What a blast! Aunt Sherry & Ashton took the kids for a great day at the pumpkin patch Saturday...Now this was after getting to spend the night with Uncle Doug & Aunt Sherry on Friday night (you don't see Sophie cuz she was at a sleep over with her friend Jerrynique). The kids got a chance to dig in the huge sandboxes & make sandcastles.

Then they were off to the duck races...Old timey water pumps fueled the ducks & the harder they pumped the water - the faster the ducks shot down the track....Spencer loved that!

Feeding the small animals was next on the list...Aunt Sherry said the animals were so hungry & they just kept eating & eating. Sissy loves the small deer & sheep. You will always get big smiles from her when she's with the animals.

Well, the day was fun & tiring. After all the activites, eating corn dogs & chips, picking out the pumpkins - it was time to rest! Big rockers were just the ticket...On the way home, both babies were fast asleep!

Sophie's Birthday

This weekend was a blast! Sophie wanted her ears pierced for her 8th birthday, so we jetted off to pick up Aunt Chrissy & Aunt Jennifer & off to the mall we went. We searched high & low for the best deals for lots of earrings & then it was time to sit in the big chair. She was very brave for the 1st ear, but then...OH NO! THE PAIN of it all! But, we got her settled & calmed down & we did the other ear. We got big smiles after it was all over...But then Tristan decided that it was her turn. So, she climbed in the big chair & got hers done too! It was quite tramatic for Mom, but I made it through. After we had our fun at Claire's, we scooted over to Applebees for our birthday lunch & CHOCOLATE CAKE! Yummy!
