You may ask, where does she find the time to post to her blog? Well, today I am doing it while Daddy and the kiddos are away. At 3:41pm they all suited up and loaded up on the four wheeler for their first deer hunt. Richard asked if he should take snacks and drink for them and I told him his venture would probably not last very long. Well, it is now 4:51 and I hear them driving up. I have to say I am impressed the kiddos made it that long.
Don't worry...of course I took pictures and I will upload them asap.

This time last year....
This time last year Bess was very sick and had been sick for months. She spent many days at home with Grandaddy! We were blessed and we found Miss Savannah who now stays home with our two kiddos and Bess has not been sick, except for a little cold, in a LONG time...knock on wood!!!
Do you love Grommi?
About a month ago Richard and I were asking Bess questions. I decided to ask her who all she loved. I would say a name and she would say "yep" and then we would continue. Well, I said "Do you love Grommi" and she said "nope." Well I got worried so I continued and came back to Grommi. Around the third try asking her about her love for Grommi we asked her why and she said "nap." We finally figured it out...Grommi makes her take a nap! After that she started telling us how much she loved Grommi.
When I told Grommi the story she said "I am going to make Grandaddy put her down for naps from now on!"
In these pictures we see how much she really DOES love her Grommi!!!!
Dog Soup
Last Friday night when it was storming and raining so bad our power went out so of course the kids had to get creative. We spent most of the evening on the front porch waiting on Dixie Electric to restore our power. Bess and Trey decided it was time to make "Dog Soup." They used the watering pail, some toys, and of course dog food! They took turns stirring the dog soup to make sure it was "just right."
GREAT Uncle Dan comes to visit!
Bess is VERY shy and picky about who she will talk to and let pick her up. But I like to say she has a good judge of character and here in this picture it shows. After just a couple of hours with GREAT Uncle Dan she lets him pick her up to tell her goodbye.
Bess LOVES to wash the dishes
These days Bess LOVES washing dishes although she is really just stirring water around in whatever dish she finds in the sink. In this picture it looks like she needs to take time out and wash her face!!!
Diego the goat...no wait his new name is Elliot
Richard came home with a new family farm member...and his name is Elliot. First Trey named him Diego and now he has changed that to Elliot. Richard found this little billy goat being sold for $10 and just couldn't pass it up. So, I guess we are back into goat farming. No nanny goats as of yet but hopefully soon because I think Elliot is a little lonely. His fence touches the dog fence and I catch him all the time trying to join them.
Burning Mushrooms!
Trey must have seen a commercial on TV or something but ever since he was dying to "Burn Mushrooms!" He really means Marshmellows. Well after forgetting to get marshmellows over and over again I finally got some and when I got home I found Richard and the kids camped out in the front yard around the fire pit ready to "Burn Mushrooms!" We now have an outdoor fire on a regular evening basis unless of course the rain has come and soaked our wood.
First Shotgun Shoot
For our 5th Anniversary I bought Richard a clay pigeon thrower. Well, he decided we should all make it a family event to try it out. We started out shooting clay pigeons and then we went on to pumpkins in the field. This was my first time shooting a shotgun alone. I have never been very fond of shooting one because of the kick. Once I got the hang of it I LOVED it. I had the best time shooting the pumpkin targets in the field. For those of you who worry...don't...these are our children and believe me we are VERY cautious!
TRICK or TREAT
Since there is nowhere to trick or treat out in Hardaway, we had made plans to go trick or treat with the Rape's in Emerald Mountain. Well, Jessica's dad called and said his neighborhood in Pine Mountain Georgia was having this huge Halloween Festival/Trick or Treat. We agreed to go and so we all piled up in cars and traveled to Georgia. Once we finally got the kids all dressed up in their costumes we headed over to the pavillion for the bash. This bash however turned out to be more of an adult bash than a kids bash. Richard described it perfectly, he said it was a "Halloween on Wisteria Lane." After about 1 hour we decided to head on back to Montgomery and see if we could find somewhere to trick or treat. First we went to Publix for games and treats and then we went to Grandma's neighborhood for evening trick or treating. The kids had a GREAT time! Trey of course talked to everyone and Bess ate her candy as she walked.
In the pictures below you will see the kids dressed up in Georgia. Jessica and I were trying our hardest to get Reagan and Bess to hold hands and when they finally figured it out they really looked as if they wondered what to do next.
We have a dragon, bumble bee, punk rocker, and a flower!
Bess is waving at the camera!
Punching the balloons was what my kids enjoyed most and of course these were the decorations!
