We've been BUSY!

This year was Brice's turn to go see Thomas. We had SO much fun!

Thomas took us for a ride on the Sam's Shortline out of Cordele, GA.

The boys with Sir Topham Hat.

Thomas coming down the track to pick us up.

Gmama joined us for the excursion too.

Sam posing for this picture is a BIG deal! Until recently, he's be terrified of "characters/mascots".

Had to make a visit to the Pumpkin Patch.

My sixth (and final) Race for the Cure. I will no longer co-chair Kids for the Cure because it's time for a break. I'll focus my efforts on something new; something that the boys can be more directly involved in so they can learn how to be a community volunteer.

Brian and I exhibited at a western themed tradeshow, which was lots of work but ended up being pretty fun!

Driveway

In several years we will build a home out at Pine Hill, but my brother will begin building soon, so a driveway is in the process of being cut. It's really exciting!

High Falls State Park

We had a really nice time at High Falls State Park last weekend. Our site was such that the boys could be independent, play put-put to their hearts content, and we could still see or holler for them. That was great!

Our site.....................................Looking over at the water running off the dam.

The boys refuse to cooperate for a photo anymore. Yes, that's tissue in Sam's nose. Nosebleeds are a regular occurrence these days.

It was cool enough to build a fire at night. Since High Falls is only about 45 minutes from home we had visits from Gmama and Papa, as well as our friends Moye and Jane. It was neat to have campsite company!

We went hiking and Geocacheing. It was so nice to walk through the woods and not be miserably hot.

Boogie Boy

This song is on a kid's CD we have and for some reason it has become a BIG hit in the car! Brice was obviously miffed that HE wasn't be ing videoed so you'll have to ignore his obnoxious hummmm in the background. Sam is quite the show-man, as you can see!

Fun with friends

Unfortunately, my friend Elizabeth was home for her grandfather's funeral this week. On the bright side we got to spend some good time together and get all the boys together to play. For those that don't know, Lindsey, Elizabeth and I are best friends. What's funny (and totally unplanned!) is that even though we all got married years apart from each other we ended up having all our boys with months of each other - both times! So last night was was a lot of five and three-year-old fun!

Amicolola Falls State Park

We enjoyed the mountains and cool breezes last weekend at Amicolola Falls.

Lovin' the Bluff

At the end of August we joined the Moxley crew for a weekend trip to Bluffton. A fun time was had by all. Next time.....grown-ups ONLY!
