Carly's Spa Day

Chad is your typical doting daddy and is absolutely
adorable with Carly Belle! He is always painting her
fingernails and toenails. He had Isaiah helping him
dry her nails and Ashlee was giving her a massage!
Too cute!!!

NOVEMBER

Wow, October took a long time to get through...
guess that's why I didn't keep up here, there's just
too much going on! November brought us Brandon's
15th Birthday which we waited until we were home
from Florida to officially celebrate! Brandon's birthday
brought a lot of memories to surface of the very different
birthday he celebrated the year before. Instead of being
bald, sick from chemo and stuck in the house we were
in Florida running all day long with a healthy cancer-free
son! I have a feeling that each birthday Brandon has will
bring more gratitude than the one before. I am so proud of
this new son of mine, he is so brave and strong. I am thankful
each day that he is with us!

DISNEYWORLD

Brandon got to participate in the Make a Wish foundation and chose
a family vacation to Disneyworld. He wanted to be there for both
Halloween and his birthday (november 4th). Mitchel wasn't living with
us when Brandon made his wish so he wasn't able to come and we
decided on leaving Carly with Grandma and Aunt Allison instead
of dragging a one year old on a plane and 12 hour days at fun parks!
We had an amazing time, it was a trip we'll never forget! We spent
time at DisneyWorld, Sea World, Universal studio's, Epcot and a
short trip to the beach.








****GIVE KIDS THE WORLD VILLAGE****
Make a Wish puts there families at the Give Kids The World Village.
I can't begin to describe how amazing this place is! It's like a swiss
village that is all about catering to kids. They have shows, games,
activities, a life sized game of Candyland, parties at night, swimming
and an ice cream shop that is open almost 24 hours a day! They
provided us with breakfast and dinner everyday and all the ice cream
the kids could eat! The kids loved this place just as much as
DisneyWorld.

Carly Belle's first pigtails

I finally decided to try pigtails, they were adorable but made
Carly look too much older so I didn't put them in her hair again
for awhile!

Football & Mitchel

Isaiah was super excited for football this year, he got to play tackle football!
There weren't enough 3rd graders so he had to play with the 4th graders. His coaches
were very impressed with him and told us they hope he sticks with it because he's
got a lot of natural talent.




Mitchel is Chad's 18 year old son who's been living in California with his mother. We were SO excited when he called to say he wanted to come live with us for awhile!!! He's a senior in High School, looking forward to attending Dixie college and is currently practicing for the play Alice In Wonderland. I can't tell you how much I love this kid, he's awesome! Here's a few pics of him goofing off....

OCTOBER

Where has the time gone! I am determined to catch up my blog, I love reading everyone else's blog's and according to my foxy cousin Emily, I need to get on the ball and get this thing updated!
So we moved back to Hurricane in October and we love being back. We are renting a 6 bedroom home which is perfect for our family size. Carly has made herself right at home and has claimed this cupboard for her own!




Carly is getting so big! She has the funniest personality and is
cracking us up all the time.
