Beautiful

The altar at a dear friend's wedding... beautiful! Couldn't pass up sharing. Perfect reminder of the true heart of marriage. Wishing a lifetime of happines to the Dunn's!

Got Icee?

Tucker recently learned about icees when we picked his cousins Ben, Will and Abby up from school one day. He wasn't too keen on the icee that day-not sure why not. But Saturday on the way to Aunt Laura's house to trick or treat, this boy was slurping it up! He loved "sharing" Mommy's icee! Only complaint was that Mommy should have gotten the "ice tea" flavor (I believe he meant coke) instead of strawberry!

Happy Halloween!

Buzz Lightyear invaded our house this year- starting back in September! Tucker was beyond excited when he was able to dress up and actually go somewhere dressed as Buzz. Well, actually lots of places... Fall Festival at church, school, Aunt Laura's trick or treat party, and to trick or treat to Aunt Becca's and Uncle Matt's. Let's just say, that costume is finally getting the cleaning it should! Tucker had a blast this Halloween. Mr. Independent wanted to go all by himself up to doors and learned what it meant when a bowl of candy was just sitting there. He had a great Halloween! Must say we are glad the festivities are all over- we are all exhausted! Family at Aunt Laura's

Look what I got!!!

Heading off to the first house

Ready to go- light sticks and all!

Gateway to the West

We just returned (well a week or so ago) from our annual trip to St. Louis! We go each year to visit family and many favorite places. Our trip various from fall to spring or summer (skip the winter with all the snow). This year, we chose October so we could witness the marriage of Katie's cousin, Ryan and his wife, Meryl. We were able to visit with family, head up to the country for the day and do lots of visiting- especially to the zoo!! Tucker was living for St. Louis and his trip to see the elephants!

Just watching the elephants!

Cousins! The littlest ones- Abby, Chloe, Tucker and Ellen

(We stayed with Chloe and Ellen and Tucker was in heaven!)

The Fair

Well, we thought since we are now residents of Walker County, we should experience the Walker County Fair. We went on a week night and Tucker had a blast. He had his first funnel cake, won his first two prizes (well, kind of, now you pay for what ever you want to "win"), had a bite or two of cotton candy, and most importantly, he rode on his first rides!! He LOVED the motorcycles, which were just perfect for his size. He wanted to go on them over and over again! Fun was had by all!

This train ride was a big jerky and made us a bit nervous- only rode it once!

Favorite ride- the motorcycles!

Excited boy going into the fair!

Welcome to the Barnyard

A couple of weeks ago, we joined some friends at the zoo for the first time since June. It was so nice to get out and enjoy the Fall weather. We not only enjoyed the zoo and good company but tried out one of the zoo classes for toddlers. Tucker had fun learning about the barn animals and making a treat for the chickens! Definitely worth a try if you are looking for something to do with your little one.

Can't seem to get my 3 yr old to look at the camera- everywhere else!
