AFter babysitting Grayson on the 3rd I decided to take a picture of the kids while it was still nice outside.

On the 1st I babysat Grayson and while he was visiting we decided to go and see my Grandmother. She is sitting in her favorite spot outside.......on her swing.

Tobacco Festival

Here is a picture of my cousin, Hannah Martin. She is the daughter of my uncle Kendall and his wife Shelley. She is the one in the middle with her head turned to the side. They are the Lee County Twirlers. You can't really see it but they have batons in their hands! I was lucky to get this picture! They went by me before I realized I didn't have my camera ready! Plus it was soo cold I had a hard time thawing out to get the camera out! ha!
Here is Tamra posing for me after the parade in town, Pennington.

This is a picture I took of Taylors family at the parade. In the back is Taylors' cousin, Brad and his wife who is expecting a baby but she has her stomach covered with her jacket! Next to them is Taylors' Great Grandma Clem and her daughter, Taylors' Mamaw Becky Holbrook. They posed for me in the freezing wind!

Halloween

Here is Amber and Grayson in the morning before Amber went to work. She is dressed up like Cruella De'Ville, ha! I don't know how to spell it!!
Here is the Pumpkin they made for the front of their house at a pumpkin making party. It is a big G for Grayson! Or "BIG G" as his daddy calls him sometimes.
Here is Graysons' costume. He is a little pirate! He was like a walking mummy! His costume could stand up on its own! ha!! With him you will see his little sleeping buddy! He loves his little doggie!
Here is Amber and Brian dressed up at a costume party. I guess Brian is Cruella and Amber is a dalmation puppy. cute!

Halloween

Tamra was a Diva Girl for Halloween. Diva Girl? Kind of like a Valley Girl, I guess.

Red Ribbon Week (2)

Here Tamra is dressed up for Mix n Match day. The other days consisted of John Deere day, which she only had something green and yellow to wear. Another day was PJ Day and Favorite sport with that day she dressed up with Taylors baseball uniform which was a little big! ha!

Laken at JMS Homecoming

Here is a picture of my cousin Laken when she was a candidate in the JMS Homecoming. Isn't she pretty? She reminds me so much of my aunt Janice only with blonde hair! This is Laken's first year in middle school! Way to go Laken! WE Love You!

Locks of Love

Here's the picture that was in the paper about my sister and her student who gave their hair for Locks of Love.

Red Ribbon Week

Today was wackiest hair day at Tamra's school. You can't really tell it but her hair is standing straight up on top of her head. I put a little bottle on top of her head and then put her hair up around it. Her hair is also different colors, blue and red. I caught her after she got home from school so we could have a memory of her wacky hair. By the way, she won wackiest hairdo in for her class she said she gets her prize tomorrow.

A Fall Day

After church we took some pictures to show some of the fall colors. All these pictures were taken at Taylors Papaw Holbrook. He lives in the town of Pennington on top of a big hill with a great view.
Here's a picture of Tamra in front of a beautiful burning bush.
I took my shoes off in this picture to show off how much taller Taylor is than me! He likes to brag about that! ha!

Jared's 12th birthday

We had jared on this date i decided to make some cupcakes and celebrate his birthday a little bit with just the five of us. His birthday was on sept. the 12th. Since he is getting older he doesn't like to have parties anymore so we knew this was the only time we could spend with him for his birthday. (they grow up so fast!) Happy Birthday Jared! WE Love you!

Fall Leaves of my Mamaw Stapletons tree.

Heres a couple of pictures I took of some deer that were in a field beside of Taylor's Papaw Larry's house. (and his dad) Keep in mind Taylor's Papaw lives in town. (pennington) He says these deer come out every morning and evening. These are just a few of them! There are more! Not great pictures but I tried! My camera isn't working all that great right now and I haven't been able to download pictures since these pictures were made! Hopefully I will fix the problem soon! Just drives me crazy!!
