Swimming in the Fall!

It was a nice day, low 80s, so I thought I'd take advantage of the warm weather and take the kids for a last swim. Although the temperature outside was right... the water was freezing! Britton insisted on me coming in so I got in to about my waist and felt like I was in ice cubes. The kids still enjoyed their swim but this will probably be the last swim for a while unless the water is very heated!Crazy little boy!

Pumpkin Patch 2010












This was our first year at the Christmas Tree Pumpkin Patch and we were very impressed. They had lots of stuff the the kids to do. The pumpkin patch was definitely picked over so the kids each picked out their favorite baby pumpkin. We got to do a hayride, animal petting, a pony and horseback ride and off course kettle corn.


Off course Britton's favorite part was the sink.


Silly girl!


My eyes squinted from all the dirt and dust!
Desperate for a photo!

Mommy's Girl

Jonathan and I were watching TV on the couch and I must have fallen into a very deep sleep and did not awaken to Payton when she woke up looking for me. Once she found me she crashed as well and fell asleep on me like this. Jonathan thought it was so funny that he got his phone out to take photos. She is such a mommy's girl!

Atlanta Zoo



On our last day in Georgia, I took the kids to the Atlanta Zoo. It was a beautiful day and perfect for the zoo. The kids loved seeing all of the animals.

We got to go in a play with the goats, pigs and sheep... and they were so STINKY!

A Brown Bear!



Britton was way more interested in playing with the wash station than the huge playground.

Feeding the little birds... there was hundreds of them in a small room!






I found these hand cuffs at a gas station on the way home and it kept Britton

Payton's Promise

As Jonathan was helping Payton put her shoes on they were having this coversation:

Payton: I can put my socks on by myself.
Jon: that's really good but that makes me sad because that means you're getting too big!
Payton: well I promise I will never get married
Jon: but what if there's a really cute boy?
Payton: I don't like boys, but I love you daddy!

Atlanta Children's Museum

While Jonathan was at his seminar I took the kids to the Children's Museum. It was a really neat place but I really liked the one in Tampa better.

There were lots of Vroam Vroams for Britton to play on.
Payton got a huge kick out of milking this cow... I kind of thought it was a strange!

Cameryn Grace turns 10!!!

This year, for Cameryn's double digit birthday, Christy had a Halloween costume party and we were not able to make it because of our Georgia trip :(. I still felt part of the party because my mom texted me photos and Cameryn sure did look cute! Happy Birthday Cameryn! I love you very much!

Trip to Georgia

Jonathan had to go to a seminar in Georgia so me and the kids decided to tag along and have a mini family vacation. It was short but lots of fun. We stayed in Downtown Atlanta so we were really close to a nice park and the children's museum. The kids had a great time see new things. The park had GIANT acorns. Payton and Britton spent lots of time filling up their water bottles and bags with these treasures.

Who needs a double stroller?!?! When Payton got tired she would hope on Britton's lap and take a rest.
