A birthday weekend surprise! So excited to have a new cousin!!

Makenna battling her fears before bed. How very sad, yet so encouraging, to see your baby girl having to go to sleep with her Bible right there. I found her this way many times over the past few months. But she is improving, praise God! Play therapy and some meds have really gotten her out of the pit. Thanks for praying for my girl.

A garage sale to end all garage sales.

Ready for my first play! Yes, her sucker is in her mouth and attached. But really, 2 hours of being quiet, stuck in the middle of a row of seats in an auditorium? You gotta do what you gotta do. (She did great by the way. Walked in between our seats the whole time, stopping to dance a jig to the music every once and a while.)

Already escaping her seat.

Prince Charming and Cinderella posing after the performance.

Granny teaching me a coloring lesson. My Granny turns 83 today...isn't she just beautiful. I love her so much!

Coloring all together.

Great-Grandaddy and Makenna after many tries to get them both to smile!

One sweet baby Kate was born on 10-10-10! What a tiny little blessing for Mary Ann and Kevin!

So very grateful I could be there.

Tracen resting on the trampoline. He had strep for 7ish weeks, so he was home a lot from school.

Mailey trying to find her Bud.

Tracen's field trip to the Corn Maize

3 kids I was in charge of. The one on the top got lost about 15 times. Yet another reason why I taught 4th grade.

3 buds in a cowtrain. You should have seen these guys when Tracen got to go back to school after missing many days then 2 weeks. They tackled him and hugged him and his momma cried right there in the gym.

You do not want to know how long it took this boy to find the right pumpkin. For.Ev.Er.

Jammin' out on the drums at Bubba's house.

Pumpkin Patch in the rain.

Pirates of the Scarribean...note the holding of Bubba's hand by Tracen.

"Uuuggghhhhhh" we kept hearing as she tried to lift every pumpkin to take with her.

They loved this silly faced pumpkin.

Family on a log...that was rolling...while it was raining.

Bubba the birthday boy who turned 31, Sarah, and little baby on the rolling log...in the rain.

Mim turned an undisclosed age, but got a Kindle we were all jealous of.

The End.
