All clean after a long day.....

Trunk or Treat

We got to enjoy the Trunk or Treat at First United Methodist. Sophie had a great time playing games and all the candy. This is a picture that our friend Allison took, I love it. So I wanted to share, there will be more pictures to follow soon. Everyone have a safe and Happy Halloween.

Merritts Birthday

We enjoyed Merritt's Birthday party. Its hard to believe she is two. Our kids are growing so fast, it has been a real joy watching all our kids grow up. Before long we will be taking them to get learner permits for driving. Please help us all when that happens, dont forget about first dates...Not sure Stevie is going to let Sophie date until she is 38.

Dress Up...

Sophie loves to play dress up. I think she would sleep in one of her many princess dresses if we would let her.
I know this stage in her life will not last long, so we are enjoying every minute.

Sunday at the Zoo

Looking at the animals

We got to spend Sunday with the Carter Family, first we had lunch at Habaneros and then off to the Zoo. The girls had fun together and you cant forget about handsome Maddox. It was a beautiful day to spend outside with family.

Ok, I am sorry for the night. I am just still playing around with my pictures..I need to get to bed, going to the Zoo tomorrow.

This is a picture I took today, I have been just playing around trying to change some things. I know its not great, but this is my first attempt. So hopefully I will get better in time..

Here are a couple of pictures I took with my new Nikon. I am looking forward to my photography classes that Wolfe Camera offered. Sophie better get ready Mamas got a new toy

This past weekend Sophie and I got to enjoy a trip to Gulf Shores for the annual Shrimp Festival. Unfortuantly Stevie was unable to come because of work. We stayed with my Mom and Dad for a nice relaxing long weekend. The weather was just perfect, we enjoyed time on the beach, looking for treasures and shells, enjoyed Grannys B'day, met new friends and enjoyed time with old friends, and played games at the festival.

we got to spend time with the May family. Letson and Lynleigh Kate are so cute
its hard to believe are kids are getting so big. Sophie met a new friend Zac it was his first time at the ocean, I think she meet
everyone in a 50 yard radius on the beach, little social butterfly.

Games...

The begining and end to a wonderful trip..

Sophie and Juliette

Sophie & Ju Ju

Juliette lives next door to my parents and they have so much fun playing together. They love playing dress up, running around outside, and aggravating the living heck out of my Dad (but he loves it). Its so funny to stand outside the door and listen to their conversations. Ju Ju will come to my parents house even when Sophie is not there just to visit, they love every minute of it.

Fun at the Fair..

rode the rides, rode a pony, won a stuffed animal

they all enjoyed the carousel...

played high price games and won a gold fish that lived a week, of course ended the day with a silly face from Braelyn..

I forgot to post these pictures. We got to enjoy the fair this year with some friends and family.

Lazy Day

Sophie enjoying a nice lazy day outside. She never went to sleep laying under the tree, but she did lay still for about 30minutes and said it was so "comfortable". Sophie loves days on the weekend when nothing is planned and we just get to hang out around the house. We dont get many of those days, when we do I take full advantage.

ROLL TIDE

We have really been enjoying Alabama football, I just wish it would start feeling
like fall around here.

Softball Practice #2

Today was practice number two. I have enjoyed watching Sophie on the field. She is little compared to some of the other girls, and many of them have played before, some of them are allstars. Even if she did run to the wrong base, not throw the ball the right place. She is having fun and thats what its all about. I have laughed so much and enjoyed being back at the ball park.

Check out her new facemask, thanks to PaPa he said he would die if she got hit in the face.

Yeah Sophie, way to get in front of that ball..

What form

almost, she did finally hit the ball with a little help.
