OK, It's January 2010 and I'm just now updating for October!

DJZ were 3 bumble bees for Halloween. They were so cute.

Jill called herself a "Princess Bumble Bee". She is obsessed by ALL things princess.

We went to Amanda and Joel's neighborhood to trick or treat. My sister Meg and her son, Nate, came along, too. Nate was a devil (very appropriate!), and Jack was Thomas the Train. Jack is obsessed with ALL things train.

Drew and Zack being entertained by Mr. Gary at The Little Gym. They always have an hour to kill after their class is over and Jill takes her class.

At one point, we were thinking of taking the kids to Clemson for the game on Halloween. I ordered some tiger costumes online. If we were going, they HAD to be tigers. It's hard to tell in this picture, but it was too small and they were sent back.

Poppa Rick and Rosina came up to visit in October. We were given free tickets to The Shriners Circus (thanks Celia) and we all went. It was a really nice circus and the kids loved it!


Of course Poppa Rick had to buy them all a glow stick.

When we got home there were LOTS of sword fights.

Saturday we all loaded up and went to the Mayfield Dairy.

We went on a tour of the actual processing plant, so hair nets were donned. Lucky for me, I was the one taking the picture!

After our tour, we each had an ice cream. This is Zack.

For my first mothers day, Rick bought the plasters to get the kids hand/foot prints. Rick, being the handy man he is, made frames for each of them.....and finally, almost 3 years later, they are done and hanging on the wall. We have no idea what took so long. They were mostly done for a very long time.

Another member of our family crew turned 40!

That would be Kenley! Notice the Birthday Boy shirt Gran Marf made him...PINK stitching! Luckily, the cake fight happened towards the end of the night.

We were all told to wear black...hence the men in black. Rick, Pappa John and Tony.

Meg had a chef come to her house to do all the cooking. It was wonderful!

Meg's dog, Libby, had to have a hat too.
