Working 9 to 5

Actually, that should be working from 6:45 until whenever.  Lucky for me, I have the best co-workers a person could ever ask for.  If they weren't so wonderful, I am pretty sure I would be retired by now!! No two days are ever the same, yet each one is special and unique!  Here are just a few of the reasons that I enjoy my job so much!

I absolutely hate snakes! However, Phyllis had a ball at our recent snake show!! There's nothing a country girl won't do! Yuck! I would have nightmares for a week!

Love, love, love my sweet friends Houston &  Lisa! 

Isn't this precious?  Beverly, Jennifer, Mr. Smart and Melva are saying, "Howdy to a Drug Free School!" I said it was our sheriff with some of his deputies!

I am so thankful to have a job and coworkers that I love! 

Cutest Pumpkins in the Patch

Lindsey and Lillian met us at the Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch to pick up Maddie.  This is our third year to visit, and it's a great place for kids of all ages. Maddie loves it all- the HUGE jumpers, petting zoo, pony rides, hay ride, tractor train, and more! She is like her mom-very adventurous and so much fun!!


These inflatables are huge!

Chatting with Pop about how fast she came down the slides!

Little Bit was checking everything out!

Goats, Pigs, cows, and horses!

Wonderful hayride! She spent about 30 seconds looking for the perfect pumpkin!

Perfect weather and a perfect afternoon!!!

Pop's Little Pumpkin

Is she not a doll??? Pop hasn't gotten to spend as much time as he'd like with this little cutie lately, so he got in some special snuggle time at the Pumpkin Patch!

This simply makes me smile!!

Small Town Fun

Aliceville recently blocked off  Main Street and hosted a cute little Fall Festival. While it was small, there was something for everyone- popcorn, snow cones, grilled wild game, a bow shoot, pumpkins to paint, and our favorite- a buggy led by 2 beautiful Clydesdales!! Maddie was here to enjoy the fun!!

Painting her pumpkin!

Snack time!

Sweet Allison!

Fun times with Friends! 

Isn't this the neatest thing!?!  Beth Powell brought Chip and Dale!  So much fun!

So much fun! 

Next up-the cutest little pumpkin in the patch!!

Princesses, Pop and a Parade

I left school early recently, spent the night with the girls and then headed back with Maddie early the next morning.  We got back in town just in time for Aliceville's Homecoming Parade.  We've gotten really good at these quick trips.  We are going to meet back in Clanton Sunday at the Pumpkin Patch.  I can't wait for that!

First, the little Princess!  She is growing so quickly.  Lillian is simply  precious!  Here she is patiently waiting on a little applesauce!

After spending the night, Maddie and I load up and head across the state early the next morning.  First, we get a little coloring in!

While waiting on the Homecoming Parade to start, Maddie and Pop have a little fun!

We are both wrapped tightly around her finger!  Next up, the Pumpkin Patch!

More of the Guys

I love weekends when we really have nothing planned. Reed and Caleb went fishing. I stayed home,watched a little football and cleaned house. Nothing special-just nice and relaxing! Maddie will be here next weekend and we can't wait!!

Reed and Caleb took these pictures-

Guys Being Guys

We had a little impromptu picnic the other night.  As Reed and Caleb were grilling, I asked if I could take their picture.  Simple request, right?

Cheese!!

Not sure what to say about this one......

You gotta love this nut!

What should we do next?

Finally!!

What can I say?  I love these two crazy guys!!
