Autumn 2013

We kicked off our Fall by attending Ashville's annual Apple Festival, and then we headed over to Mitch's sister's apple orchard, Justus Orchard to pick apples and berries :)






Below are the kids on a homeschool field trip at Happy Cow






Every year, since Skylar was a baby we have gone to Niven's Farm to pick our pumpkins from their pumpkin patch



These feet are the feet of each of my four children, we completed a Halloween door sign craft


Cute!


Carving pumpkins :)



The pumpkin creations were the kids' idea :)


For Halloween, the big kids just had to be zombies lol, this was the first year that I let them be something scary :( 
Mason was a cute werewolf and Josiah was a lion


Thanksgiving! We celebrated this year at our house with just the 6 of us plus grandma. Unfortunately family was scattered all over this year, but we'll all get together for Christmas. It was a small, yet warm and cozy Thanksgiving holiday, spent with some wonderful people, and we all have so much to be thankful for! Mitch smoked a turkey for the first time this year, and it was delicious!

2013 Birthdays

Catching up on posting birthday photos!

May 7, another year older, I can't believe my baby boy is already 7. I am so proud of the smart and well behaved young man that he is today. This year we celebrated by having a small family get together with cake and presents, and then we continued the celebration by taking him and his friend Gabe to Carowins!


Birthday morning pancakes








7 years of Maddox!


August 5, Skylar turned 9 this year. She's my beautiful angel. She is incredibly smart and has a love of reading. She has wanted to be a chef since she was 4 and I have no doubt that she'll grow up to be just that!

For her birthday this year we celebrated with family and a few of her close friends, and then that next weekend, Skylar, her friend Lexi, my mom, and I traveled down to Atlanta Georgia  to continue the celebration at the American Girl Store. Our little princess racked up in doll gifts, and we all had a good time.













My mom also had a birthday this year :) Isn't she fabulous :)


Mitch turned 31 this year. We celebrated by having a little fun a local shooting range, and then dinner with friends and the Peddler Steak House.





My nephew turned one, and he had a cookies and milk themed birthday party...he didn't like the cake lol


Many others had birthdays, but these are my only photos, happy birthday everyone!

Skylar goes to camp

Last week Skylar and her friend Cadence both went away for their first week long away from home camp. The girls had a blast! I was so excited for them, and missed Skylar terribly the whole time. I went away to camp at her age, and I remember how much fun I had, so I was thrilled to be able to give her the same opportunity. My mom, sister, and I wrote her letters through out the week so that she would recieve mail. All week she enjoyed activities such as canoeing, swimming in the pool, arts and crafts, learning new songs, bible studies, and staying up late.
