Happy 40th Birthday Surprise

Chris Anthony Carpenter turns 40 years old on November 22nd.  For years I have been thinking about what would make this day really special for him.  He told me over and over he did NOT want a big party.  So, I organized a small party with a BIG surprise!

 

When we got to the Carpenters, they were all in camo awaiting the man of the hour....even the babies!(Mindy and Phil took the best picture of a true Redneck family!)

Rita and Leroy made a wonderful brisket and Kristen picked up the camo cake from Publix!

Then it was time for the BIG surprise. . . . 1st he opened pictures of he and Jeff, then a moose that was supposed to be an elk, and then a fake plane ticket to Colorado...put it all together. . . .



 

Next Fall, Chris gets to go on the elk hunt he has been planning for years! With every one's help, he'll get to take his trip BEFORE the kids get old and move away! 

Harry seemed to be the center of our attention for quite a while!!!

But, then there was cake, pie and cobbler. . . . .

 

Happy birthday Chris. We love you

Kindergarten Dress-up Day

Cameron is loving kindergarten in Mrs. Fourakre's class....especially the DRESS UP DAYS!  Here is a snapshot of Wyatt and Cami on Scarecrow day and Kaydence, Cera, Cami and Gracie at the sock hop!

 

Let it Shine!

For Cami's birthday party she wanted to have a Barbie birthday at Let it Shine! She invited boys and girls from church, pre-K, kindergarten and family friends to make a great group of friends and family to celebrate her!

 

 

 

 

"Look Grammie! I wore the new jump suit you sent me...don't I look cute?"

 We had so much fun and are so thankful for our sweet 6 year old Cameron Elise!

Feliz Cumpleanos!

On October 18th, Cameron turned 6!  For dinner she said she wanted to go to "Chuey's".  I was so excited to go to Cool Springs to eat at the Mexican chain called Chuey's, but then I realized....she wanted to go to Tito's where "Chuey" put pie in people's face on their birthday!  So, off to Tito's we went.  She opened a new Barbie from aunt Kendra and Devin.  Then, it was cake time! Zayda our favorite waitress has turned into a family friend.  She actually went out and bought a large cupcake for her!  And after they sang, Cami was ready for the whip cream in her face.

But, when Chloe got a turn to "surprise her sister", Cami wasn't as happy.

Dancing Diva

 This year, Chloe joined All That Dance Pro Team.  She is so excited to be in competitions, wear make up and DANCE! Chris and I are so happy to help her tap into her talent.  We have known she is very talented and werent sure how to help her.  So, with the help of Grammie and Paw Paw and Darlin and PaPa,  Chloe asked for them to give her bday and Christmas gifts as contributions to her competition fund.  Her first perfoemance was in Spring Hill at the Ham Festival.

And thanks Darlin and Papa (and Harry) for coming all the way to Alabama in the cold to watch our dancing diva!
