Aunt Kate Visits!

Aunt Kate came to visit (after moving to California this year) and it was SO great to have her back:)  This is where you could find her pretty much the entire time she was here...on the couch with both girls on top of her!!  What a good sport she is:)



This one cracks me up...Ella wanted to do a silly face, I said go ahead and they both randomly did the exact same face!!

Best Friends

My buddy...my buddy....wherever I go, he goes!

Learning Hopscotch

Tiger Fun Run




Allie

Jacob

Counting her lap tally marks...she ran 11 laps on the track!!!  We are so proud of her:)

Gatlinburg, TN

We went to Gatlinburg for my birthday.  It is a really cute town.  We had a great weekend!

Waiting for our horses...


She sang the along the trail until about half way through when she passed out!


We went to this MagiQuest that was like being in real life Harry Potter!  You get a wand in the beginning and then you have to cast spells and find things around the castle to make potions.  It was really fun:)


They had a nice aquarium too that we all loved!




Petting a horseshoe crab







Halloween



I could not stop laughing at him driving!!



Ewok Riley

Yoda Kingsley (she thought she was a puppy)



This was a monster that you had to reach in and grab the candy.  Ella and Riley argued over who should go first, because they were both scared.  After a few minutes of arguing, they decided it wasn't worth it and they left!

She found this grandma wig in our costume box and wore it around the house for days!!  So funny:)

Fall Harvest Party

Brooklyn had a Fall Harvest Party at school.  It was so cute seeing them bow their heads and pray:)


The Factory - Painting Pottery







Cheekwood - Scarecrows

One of our favorite places to go is called Cheekwood and it is Nashville's botanical garden.  They offer new things to do every season...last summer it was tree houses built by different architects, during the Fall it was various scarecrows built by different non-profits and it will change again for the winter.  


Making a skeleton craft with Kingsley

 Ella and Riley kept cracking up at their pictures

She got bored and started coloring her face instead
