Cleaning up after the big Ice Storm!!

The boys were so happy to help Tom clean up all of our broken
trees. What a mess we have around here. Luckily we have power back after 2 days. So much of our area still has no power. I don't know what everyone did without TV, gamecubes and DVD's!!!!

CHEESE

Carleigh is so funny with the camera now. Everytime I get it out she starts saying "Cheese". She wants her picture taken all of the time.... I think she might know how cute she is.

Taking after mom

Carleigh loves the phone and always has to talk on it. Here she is talking to her Aunt Rae. She just carries on her on conversation and thinks she is so funny. Of course we have no idea what she is saying unless she is yelling into the phone "MeMe"!

Hunter's First Basketball Game

Hunter and his cousin Riley had their first basketball game yesterday. Tom is the coach so it was pretty cute. They actually did very good for their first game. It is just so funny to watch all those little ones out there with no clue of what they are really doing.

Typical Brothers!!!

The boys wanted their picture taken in front of the tree tonight...of course in their pj's. I got a great chance to see what fun it is going to be to do Christmas cards this year. There may not be a picture unless they are all 3 seperate!
Smile... hit... scream....smile! The wonderful world of brothers!

Carleigh Decorating the Tree

Carleigh really enjoyed the tree decorating this year. Of course with 3 kids decorating it you should have seen what it looked like! Needless to say Mom and Dad had to do a little rearranging.

Two Indians now...

When Hunter got home from school he had his indian attire on also so now I have 2 indians running around!

Indian Boy

Chase made an indian costume today at school that he was so proud of. He also looked just too cute...beating on his tom tom!

Daddy's Girl

Carleigh is starting to turn into a real Daddy's Girl! When he is home she stays wrapped around him.... and she has him wrapped around her little finger.

Chase had to have his picture made in the leaves also...although his posing was very different. He still looked cute.

Fall Days

Just a pretty picture of my little girl. I don't know which is the best the leaves or the model!

Trying to Keep up

Carleigh tries her hardest to keep up with her brothers. Her new thing is running to the road when they ride their bikes. I think I am going to have to put a big gate in front of our driveway.

No more training wheels

My baby has now started riding without training wheels. It took him a whole day and he was off. Now he really thinks he is big stuff....little does he know he is still my baby.

Who did it?

I have no idea. All I know is the neighborhood gang was over today and we are minus a gutter now! They all blamed on Chase at first....of course but then they blamed it on eachother. It was pretty funny to walk out and see 5 little boys holding our gutter in the hands!!!!

Gamecocks Vs. Tigers

Ok so even though Carleigh and her cousin Reese are rivals when it comes to the teams...does it really matter when they look this cute!!!

Leave it to Chase!

Chase was
being so quiet and good this morning and I thought that he was watching Tv in his room but he wasn't. He got scissors and helped himself to half the bag of Halloween candy! Talking about a stomach ache this afternoon. It made me sick to look at it!

Happy Halloween!

I was so terrible with picutres last night...sorry. I was too busy being the wicked witch and didn't take enough. We had a great time though. We had about 12 kids all together and it was pretty hectic. Carleigh was a lady bug during the day and a princess by night and Chase was a policeman for the day and batman by night..don't ask. Hunter was a nija. I was also dressed from head to toe in my witch attire but I don't even have a picutre of it. All in all lots of fun... too much candy... and one tired witch!!

Flower Boy?

The costume didn't fit Carleigh so Chase decided that he may be a flower....I DON"T THINK SO!! Anyway, he thought he was so funny putting on the flower costume. Believe me that is not what he is going to be tomorrow night!

Pumpkin Carving

The boys loved carving their pumpkins today! What a chore. I couldn't believe they actually stuck their little hands in there! Carleigh could have cared a less about it.... she just played and every once in a while checked us out.

Terrific Kid !

I don't know what they do to my son at school but he obivously acts very different than he does at home. First student of the week, then citizen of the month and now terrific kid of the quarter. I cannot believe how welll he is doing! So why do the horns come out as soon as he gets in the car? If anyone knows please tell me!!!!

First Field Trip

Hunter had his first field trip last week and he had so much fun. Of course I went as a chaperone. We went to the pumpkin patch. They got to ride in a tractor and pick a pumpkin. My nephew Riley was also there so Hunter loved that. I guess the biggest thrill though was riding on the big school bus! That was an adventure for me also!

The end of another soccer season....

Hunter's last game was tonight and he played the hardest I think he has ever played. After he had his banquet at Chick-Fil-A...which was a hit. The cow helped give out the trophies. The way it is looking we may have a real soccer pro on our hands!

Picking a pumpkin!

Who knew it could be so hard to pick 1 pumpkin! Hunter and Chase just could not agree on one so we ended up with 4... Carleigh really didn't care at all!

Chase loves the camera now... finally! He has to be in every picutre that I take. He really thought he was cool this weekend helping Daddy work on the car. He is getting so big....not a baby anymore.

Citizen of the MONTH!!

Hunter got Citizen of the month in his class for September. We are so proud of him. His first month in big boy school and he has recieved student of the week and now for the month! This is him with his principal and assistant principal receiving his award.

Hunter's 6th Birthday!

Hunter turned 6 today. I cannot believe how fast this 6 years has gone by. He is getting so big. He didn't even care about a party this year so we just did a little cook out. He is really growning up and getting so independent.
