Rocky Top

Our friends from NC came over for the final UT home football game of the year.  We tailgated from 9am until the game started at 7:30pm!!  We had a great time catching up with each other, eating, playing games and watching other football games on TV throughout the day!

our set up for the day!

 no tailgate is complete without corn hole

 of course, the boys had to throw the football around too

 we took a stroll down the strip to walk off lunch!

 then, we headed back so we could watch football, eat dinner and head down for kick off

 the sun went down and it got cool!

 never fear, we had a fire pit too!

Third Down for What?

 Smokey was wrapped up in his blanket again this week!

It got COLD - we had on 2 shirts + a thermal shirt, jeans + thermal pants, fuzzy boots + socks, gloves, a toboggan, and heavy coats!!

 Me and Jessica in our twin toboggans!

Although the score wasn't what we wanted, we had a great time spending the weekend together again.  I'm sure they'll be many more days like this in our future!

Friendly Competition

Just a little friendly competition before going to school.

BRRR!

The temperature was a frigid 25° this morning.  The kids bundled up in their brand new coats.  When we raised the garage door, we found that it had snowed a little overnight!

Halloween Scenes

Here are a few pictures of our Halloween festivities, from our photographer friend John.

we started with dinner ~ BBQ chicken

 Greg secretly wanted to be Darth Vader!

 photo shoot!

 let the trick or treating begin!

 Our sweet neighbor, Mr Burl (who sadly passed away 2 weeks after this night on 11/14/14)

 then the rains came and we had to stop our outdoor festivities a little early!

Movie Night

Tonight, we had another family movie night ~ complete with pizza and ice cream!

Ice Age was on the big screen

 She is just precious!

 He is so handsome!

Small Group Thanksgiving Lunch

We had our Bible study small group over for Thanksgiving lunch this afternoon.  

the house needed to be cleaned before everyone arrived, thankfully I had a helper!

 I didn't take any pictures of the whole group today, and only took a few of the kids.  We had 10 adults and 4 kids over today

 Annabelle & Reagan

 Maggie & Cooper

 After lunch, the girls went outside to play...not really sure where Cooper was! 

We had such an enjoyable afternoon of talking, laughing and eating!

Waffle House

For our monthly breakfast date (while Reagan and Greg are at All Pro Dad), Cooper chose to eat at the Waffle House.  He had never eaten there before, but I'm sure we will have many dates there in the future!

all smiles!

 he couldn't get enough of watching the cook

 looks yummy

 digging in

 He loved it!  He said, "they DO have really good waffles here!"
