Fenders Farm

A couple of weekends ago we went to Fenders Farm in Jonesboro, TN. It was so much fun! Anyone who live in this area should take full advantage of this awesome Fall tradition!
We went with one of my Mom's co-workers and his family. There was not a dull moment with 3 boys trying to find their way through a corn maze. After Fenders Farm we went to a yummy dinner at the Farmer's Daughter which was the BEST meal of my life.



Here is Hayden on his very first hay ride.

They even had a petting zoo! Hayden's favorite was this kitten.





It was really cold!

This is the before picture of David going down a slide...







and here is the after...












10 years and counting!

I can hardly believe it has been 10 years since we graduated from high school. It was great to see so many people that I have not seen in so long. As you can see we got the whole gang (minus Miss Ab of course) together for pictures before the big event.


Rach and I at Rascals (yes our reunion was at Rascals)










Family Photo Shoot!

A few weeks ago we met our photgraphers Liz and Terry Powers at Coolidge Park for a family photo session. As you can see from the slideshow we are so blessed to have such a happy and healthy little boy! He is truly a gift from God! Here are some of the pics from the session...

Too much fun!

A couple of weeks ago we headed to Athens with good friends Ashley and Bryan, and Jennifer and Jason for the TN vs. GA game. The outcome of the game was not what we had hoped, but we sure did have a good time!







Having fun on Friday night in downtown Athens!








As you can see, Hayden was in good hands with his GiGi!

Today we went to Pikeville to visit with Hayden's Gram and Grandpa. After lunch we went up on the mountain to a pumpkin patch and Hayden got to pick out his very own pumpkin.
We have to taste it to make sure it is the one!

Go Vols...

Saturday night we went to Jenn and Jason's for some football and pizza. Here they are getting their bedtime story from Aunt Jenn.

Already playing house!
Hayden didn't feel like being a VOL fan tonight!






Ronald McDonald Children's Festival

This weekend was the annual RMH Children's Festival. Hayden had a blast! He got to slide, jump, play, and he even got to visit the petting zoo.



Hayden was not sure what to think of all these animals.


Sliding with Daddy!


Here is a preview...

Saturday morning we had to try on Hayden's Halloween costume! What do you think GiGi? We thought it would be appropriate to for Hayden to be a monkey since he is the "Monkey Man" in our house.


Picture time...

We are going to miss so many things about Chattanooga. One of our favorite things to do is to come down to Coolidge Park and play in the fountains. On Friday we had a family photo shoot and here are some pics we took before the photographers arrived...

New toy!

We got Hayden a little 4-wheeler this week. He has absolutley no interest in riding it, but he does like to push it into everything! It is amazing how fast they learn.





Fall is here...

This weather is awesome! Finally, we can get outside! "side" as Hayden says. We have a wonderful park near our house that is the perfect size for Hayden. We spent the afternoon swinging, kicking a ball, and playing on the playground.


Peyton loves to play ball with Hayden!

Yes, that is me. The extremely pale one!

Hayden loves to swing!
Do we have a future soccer player?



A quick trip to Kingsport!

This weekend we dashed to Kingsport for one of my oldest friends wedding. My good friend Bunny, who I have known my entire life, married her prince charming, Chris! We had so much fun! The reception was beautiful and it was great to see so many people that we had not seen in such long time.
Mommy and Daddy enjoying a much needed night out!
Who do you think Hayden looks like now? David or myself?

Hayden got to spend time with his GiGi before the wedding!



Although it was a really fast trip, we had so much fun! Hayden is looking forward to his GiGi keeping him in the next couple of weeks!
