Pumpkin Farm Fall 2012, St. Louis

Our last Fall in St. Louis was topped off with a wonderful day spent at the Pumpkin Farm.  Kids  picked a pumpkin and enjoyed pony and barrel rides.  Fun times had by all!

 Watching the Bulldogs play.

A few random pics.....

Jimmy and I in Vail, CO. Amazing!  Can't wait to be close enough to visit regularly.

Birthday Party Fun!

 Birthday party fun at Hi NRG Gymnastics!  

We invited lots of our school friends and had a blast doing gymnastics and eating cake & pizza.  Jace chose a Hot Wheels cake and Kendall chose Tinkerbell.  Yum!

 Our Happy Birthday Medals!

Happy Birthday to my babes!

 Look at my beautiful 6 year old girl!  I am so proud of my Carolina girl.  My lover of all things purple & pink, American Girl, Mac-n-Cheese, dress up clothes, french braids, polka dots, Fancy Nancy, earrings, the School Bus (seriously!),  riding bikes, and anything crafty.  Kendall, your sweet spirit, fierce determination, full face smile & nurturing soul make me the proudest Mom around.

 And now to my handsome little dude.....simply put, life would be boring without you.  In your 4 years,  Jace Man, you've made me laugh out loud more than I thought possible.  Your wit, your spunk, your mannerisms might just make you the coolest little 4 year old around.  My little Texan.....You make my days sweeter, my worries greater, & my proudest moments grow by leaps and bounds.

 As we say, "I love you more than a million bucks!"  Or they may top me and say, "a billion."

Papa's Boat

Kids had a blast on Papa's boat.  Not a fish in sight, but they didn't care. Thanks to Gammy and Papa for a fun morning on the boat!

Quite a driver!!

Gammy & Papa's in Georgia

Home sweet home!  I always love going back to GA and especially now with the kids, so they can spend time with Gammy and Papa and of course, Nate and Wesley.  We are getting a niece in December who Kendall has fondly named Rosabeth.  Ha ha!  How exciting to be adding another girl to  the family.  Congrats to Brad & Kim! We are blessed!

 Watching the Steam Engine Parade....the kids loved it!  I think they especially loved the candy  they caught! :-)

Getting a little exercise in at Catch Air....the kids always love going to this place when we visit GA.

Hilton Head Island

We got the kids over to the beach while we were at Mimi and Pap's.  Kendall and Jace were trying to hang with Zac, Kenz, & Ty on the boogie boards.  :-)

Fun in South Carolina!!!

The kids and I travelled to South Carolina and Georgia to visit Mimi, Pap Pap, Gammy, Papa and all of our cousins.  The 1st week, we stayed at Mimi & Pap Pap's house and went to Golf Camp.  Jace was such a trooper and was able to hang with the big kids, staying at camp from 8:15-3:15.  They learned a golf technique called Snag, played tennis, swam and made some cute crafts.  I know they will look forward to this again next year.  We also went to American Girl in Atlanta, and Kenzie and Kendall got the new girl of the year, McKenna.  Talk about ecstatic!  These girls were loving life.  We followed that up with a trip to Lego Land for the boys.  It was so much fun, but I must say, it definitely just wasn't for the boys.  I think the girls were loving life!!!  

A huge thank you to Mimi & Pap Pap for an AWESOME week!!!!
