Twin Day

Twin Day is a favorite dress up day at our house. Cameron and Laura were twins in dresses that were once Chloe and Cami's. Chloe, Abby and Callie were actually triplets! But these tweeners, took their moms to Target for a little breakfast at Starbucks and then shopping on the clearance rack!

Dance Convention Diva

The Dance Mover Convention and Competition was a huge success for Chloe and her team from All That Dance! Not only did Chloe's dances all get 1st place, but she was chosen out of her class of about 100 girls by her teacher to receive a scholarship for the National convention! Way to go Baby!

Perseverance

Every month each teacher is asked to choose a student that represents the character trait that we have studied all month. We were very proud to get the email from Mrs. Fuller that Chloe would receive the award for perseverance. (The funniest part is that Chloe actually READ the email from Mrs. Fuller when I wasn't in the room and pretended to be surprised at the morning meeting!)

Thankful on Thanksgiving

This year we took the truck through Arkansas to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving. Though it was close quarters, the kiddos still managed to love on each other. The girls were so excited to get to Cabot AND to get to see 1D on T.V.

In Oklahoma, we got to see aunt Kendra. It had been a long time since this summer, so getting to hug her neck was the highlight of my trip!  We were so busy I didn't get many pictures. But, I did get a few shots of Koda and his cousin Wyatt. They had so much fun playing together!

On our way back through Arkansas we were sad to leave our Arkansas Carpenters, but Chloe found out that a reality t.v. show is taped in a cheer gymnasium minutes away from Cabot! She was pumped!

 

Joy to the World

Koda performed in the Spring Hill Academy's Christmas program! He did such a great job singing! I was a little sad that I didn't get some funny footage that would have won us a million dollars on America's funniest home videos, but I did get a picture of Koda with Reverend Coughlan!

Forty and Fabulous

When Betty was about to turn 40, we knew we needed blow it out for birthday. She loves to get dressed up and so, Ivey, Betty, Ticka, Roza, Teresa and I put together one FABULOUS party at the Citizen's club in Nashville. There were fun appetizers, drinks, Ivey cupcakes AND dancing!

Betty Apple is worth every penny of it too. Betty is the most gengerous,

patient, encouraging and Christlike person I know.  These last few years have been tough, but on December 7th, all she could see and hear were all the people who loved and adored her!

Happy Halloween

The Arkansas Carpenters were in Nashville over Halloween, so the kids had a blast trick-or-treating with their cousins! Emma- a fox from "what does the fox say?", Chloe- can can dancer, Izzy- bumble bee, Cameron- Monster High girl, Koda- pirate, Harry- elephant, and Virginia -a bumble bee
