Happy Fall Ya'll!

Many Happy Birthdays

On October 18th, Cameron Elise Carpenter turned 4. It only seems right to have 4 parties!

On her actual birthday we were at Disney World! For her birthday we had reservations at Epot to have breakfast with the princesses. Before we went, the family celebrated her birthday at the hotel.

Then, the day after we got home Grammie and Paw Paw came to Spring Hill and we needed to celebrate Cami with them too!

Happy Birthday song #3
Our little artist was so excited to open a new easel!
Chloe loved it too!

Well, after Chloe had her 7th birthday at Hotsy Potsy in June, Cami asked for Bella and Ella Kate to go paint pottery for her birthday too. Of course I said yes, but I truely thought after Disney she would forget...she didn't
Here they are at Hotsy Potsy

Ella Kate was very focused on her cheerleader

Cami and Bella painted their mermaids

The big sisters had done this before, but still had a great time!

After we painted, the girls went to Gigi's for cupcakes :)

Happy Birthday song #4

So this year, my sweet Cami had many, many Happy birthday wishes!

Exersaucering is EXHAUSTING!

How excited were we to get Koda a new exersaucer (that is what they are called right?) and a new jumping toy! Seeing that two years ago we thought we were finished with our family of 4, we got rid of everything baby related we had. We did this thinking if we had another, we would just borrow or get new ones. Hello! These things cost like $100! So, poor Koda was doomed to bouncing on mommy's lap!

Then we saw a friend (who happens to run Kidz Klozet consignment) and she said she was stuck with these two items! Can we say, "God is good!"

Well, here is a few pics of the fun it has given Koda.....and then last night I got a video of the exhaustion!

My Team...my friends

Though this isn't the best pic of me, I love it! This year I get to work with 5 fantastic women in first grade. We are not only teammates, but friends. I found out yesterday that I will "go to bat" for any of them no matter how dumb I look!! I love you girls!

Our H***'s Angels

Can you believe my girls are on a scooter? We have the sweetest friend who had a scooter. He got a new dirt bike. When he heard that Chloe was dying to get one of these, he told his dad that the Lord told him to give it to Chloe instead of selling it! Wow! God sure blesses us in many ways! The girls are having a blast with it!

Koda and I were on the front row cheering them on . . . . .

YEAHHHHH!!!!!

Little Super Stars

When we ate at Pancho's Thursday afternoon we thought we were early enough to miss the Karoke, but look who was first in line! Chloe sang Baby, Baby and had a table of football players singing along.

Little Sister was hesitant at first, but with Chloe at her ear, Cami belted out her own song! Cami tried to sing The Best of Both Worlds and sang the chorus beautifully.

Watch out Miley!

Vinyard 2010

Here it is August and what do we like to do....Go to the Vinyard with "the Family"!

The ladies had a great time wine tasting....

And the kiddos had a blast...being kiddos in the heat!

We couldn't leave without the famous "girls on the steps" picture though!

Here we are in 20082009

2010

Even though we had a great time, it wasn't the best reason we were there...our sweet friends the Burkes are moving to California. We will miss them terribly, but are happy you are moving closer to family......even though this family will always be here for you too!
