First Real Snow of this School Year

We all had a snow day today! The kids were actually out of school for two days last week because of snow, but it wasn't a good amount of snow like today. When Knox County Schools are out you know there is a lot of snow!!

Dallas loved the snow... She ran around biting the snow.

Tiffany's 9th Birthday

Tiffany decided she wanted a "jungle" cake. I found her some jungle animals and she is decorating it herself.

She was very careful decorating her cake!

Halloween Costumes

Today I went shopping for the kids costumes. TJ has decided he is "too old" to trick or treat : (

Family Visit

Aunt Dawn, Uncle Doug, Emory, and Lance came for a visit this week. We played at the park, creek, water fountains, and spent the last evening at Chuckie Cheese. Everyone had a great time and we look forward to camping in the very near future.

The pinning ceremony turned out pretty nice even with the horrible speaking part!! I am glad I did it and have to imagine it is good experience...
