So Thankful!

I LOVE my job and am so thankful that God opened this door for me! It's been such a blessing to work with wonderful people who care about you, to pray openly all day long, and to focus on God while at work!! Another huge perk is getting to see Caroline throughout the day and to participate in her fun activities!! Her school had a Thanksgiving feast last week and I had a blast getting to see the Thanksgiving program and then getting to eat a yummy lunch with her! When we walked into the room, it was perfectly decorated with fall decorations and at each table was a place mat that each child had made and then a few goodies for the parents! Here's some of the things that I got from my sweet girl!



When her teachers asked her what she was thankful for she said: painting pumpkins, and stamp pads!! I think she might have said the stamp pads b/c she gets a stamp at school everytime she goes potty!! I've asked her all week what she's thankful for and she keeps saying "everything"!! Good answer:)

This picture doesn't have much to do with Thanksgiving but it's too cute not to post!! Caroline's teacher took this picture and sent it to me the other day! These are some of the cute girls in Caroline's class. They all LOVE playing dress up! Santa may or may not be bringing my princess some cute dress up clothes this year:)


I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Fall Parade and Trick-or-Treating

Last week, Caroline had a fall parade with her friends at school! It was so cute and she got tons of candy! It was extra special b/c daddy was off and was able to join in on the fun too! Here's some pics with her and her friends!

All ready to go to the parade!


All of the staff kids! So precious!

This year for Halloween we got invited to a trick-or-treat/chili cookoff party! It was SO much fun! We took the kids trick-or-treating early and got tons of candy!! This was the first year that we have taken Caroline trick-or-treating b/c the other years she was too small to actually understand what was going on! She loved it and had a blast hanging out with her friends!

Caroline and her buddy Eva!

My lady bug all ready to go trick-or-treating!

We missed the memo about dressing up as a princess! Ha! Oh well, my lady bug is still precious!

Trick-or-treat!

Yea, mommy!! I got some candy!


Playing Halloween Bingo!

Fall Fun!

Well, we crammed in about as much Fall Fun as you can in one weekend!! The weather was SO beautiful so we took full advantage of it! We visited grandma/granddaddy in the mountains, went to the Cumming fair with friends, and went to the pumpkin patch after church today. Here's some pics of our fun weekend!

Our Friday afternoon with grandma and grandaddy! Mom had her house perfectly decorated for fall so we took some cute pics by her decorations!




At the Cumming Fair!





Pumpkin patch time!

Fun Day!!

A couple of weeks ago we met up with my wonderful co-worker, Jana Jackson, for a fun morning of pictures at Sims Park. She captured some amazing pictures and did a great job with Caroline. These's aren't near all of the pictures that she took but some of my favorite. The others will be a surprise to any of you that will be getting a Christmas card from us!! Thanks Jana for your amazing work!!














This was the last picture we took...she was exhausted and ready to take a nap!!! Take note that the bow is out and bribe money in her hand:)

Day 3 and 4

We had dinner at AJ's on Tuesday night. Blake and I ate there on our honeymoon 5 years ago and loved it so we really wanted to go back again:)

They have a spot to feed the fish so we got some fish food for Caroline to throw at them. She loved it. She would do one piece at a time and had hundreds of fish fighting for it. She thought it was so funny.

Here's all of the fish waiting for her to throw more in!

Can't really see it great but Blake and I took a dolphin tour on our honeymoon 5 years ago and had our picture taken in the same spot! So fun to see us 5 years later with a beautiful daughter:)

Yes, we make our child work for her fun!! She honestly had a fit to carry it so since we had chairs, bag, umbrella, etc to carry we took her up on the offer!!

We were out at the pool for 30 min and Caroline climbed up on the chair to take a nap. Poor girl isn't used to all of this fun day after day!

So, after her nap we went to the beach for the afternoon! She looks more refreshed!

Caroline loved chasing the birds on the beach! She couldn't figure out why they didn't want her to bother them! ha!

Love the beach!

Pure cuteness watching her and her daddy play in the sand!




So, anyone who knows me knows that I have a fear of jelly fish. Well, the water was so clear and beautiful today so I got in and stayed in for a long time. As soon as I got out, a guy walked up to me with this jelly fish. So scary to think I was just in the water close to that thing.

About 10 minutes later, another family found this one. Needless to say, we packed up and headed to the pool! Ha! That's all I needed to see of those crazy things. They ended up changing the flag to purple b/c more were found. Yuck!

Bathing beauty!

Snack at the pool!

So, Blake was getting a shower and I was blow drying my hair and I walk out of the bathroom to see Caroline passed out on the floor. Poor thing is worn out:)
