Thanksgiving was a hoot with all the family at our house. The kids have been great and are ready for Christmas now. We began a new tradition of carving Thanksgiving pumpkins.

Village Creek Nov 2008

The Coopers and Culwells went to Village Creek State on Veterans Day weekend. We hikrd, made smores, rode bikes and climbed trees. Overall we had a great weekend with highs in the 60s and lows in the 30s. Clay was sick and slept in his car, or at least tried. We had great food, fun and made lots of family memories. The boys favorite part was exploring the woods below the camper.

The boys went to Sesame Street Live and got to greet Zoe and Abby. They enjoyed the cookies and milk and were exceptionally good!!!

We had lots of launches at our pool this summer. One of the kid's favorite past times is swimming and they love for daddy to "launch" them. Even Casey is smiling as she rockets out of the pool.

It is very nice to have all 4 swimming so well that we can actually not be scared to get them all in the pool.

Minnie and Mickey greeted us at Walt Disney World on September 13, 2008. We had a great time and really enjoyed getting to take the kids on their first visit there. All of them enjoyed the trip and are already asking when we are going back.

Fire on the Deck

We enjoy sitting on the deck watching the blazing fire. This one was a little too hot for smores!

Cameron turns 7

Cameron and Noah turned 7 in August. We celebrated at Putt Putt and enjoyed a grand time of mini golf, bumper boats and arcade games.

With the exception of some touch up paint, the kitchen is complete!!!! It is nice to begin to see some nomality around the house. It is also going to be nice to reclaim the garage again. Let's eat!

Thanks Derek for helping with the demo and Clay for helping with the demo and crown molding and to all the grandparents for helping with the kiddos!

Wish we were fishin!!!!

Through all the house remodeling, we really miss the river/lake! By the looks of this pic, I would say there were not many fish caught, but I bet we had lots of laughs!!!!

The kids received caterpillars, which magically changed into butterflies. It was a great learning experience and just one more notch for mommy in her science lessons over the summer. We had 3 pretty ladies that are now free and flying around 38119...
