So, Blake finally sold the Camry. It was difficult, but he drove his truck more than the car, so it was the best thing to do. It was amazing that it sold so fast! He listed it on local sales and craig's list and had an offer in 2 hours! A young family from Alabama drove up here and bought it. Before it left, Blake had to take it to Jackie and Don so they could say their goodbyes too!!
We had an excellent Halloween this year! Of course, we Halloween could not begin until we watched "Garfield's Halloween Adventure" (which is the best Halloween special EVER)! We carved pumpkins a few days before, and I was so proud of Blake! I think this is the first year he has carved a more complictaed one than me! He did an excellent job. We realized about 20 minutes into carving how intense we were! We had not said a word to each other, we were so focused!! Blake's pumpkin was the witch, and my pumpkin was the spider. We also had our first trick-or-treaters in our house. They are our neighbors, so we had to take a picture of them! The youngest one loves Blake's guitar (as you can see in the picture). All in all it was a great Halloween again this year!!
Here are some pictures of our front porch decorated for Halloween! It is so much fun (and such a blessing) to have your own place you can decorate! I'm so proud of our home!!
Hercules finally got to meet his half brother Pablo a few weeks ago. Our friends Mark and Erin are Pablo's proud parents. The meeting went pretty well. Even though Pablo was a little more aggressive, they finally played and got along! Here are a few pictures from the day!
Here are some fun pictures of Hercules "driving"!! We were on our way to see Pablo (Hercules' brother) and thought this would be fun. Hope you enjoy! I'll post pictures of Hercules and Pablo next!
We've started a tradition where my Mom and Dad come up for the Fall Fun Fest here in Cookeville. My Dad's favorite part is the barbeque! Here are some pictures of him going from tent to tent begging for scraps!!! We had a great time!!
We dog-sat a few weeks ago for Blake's Mom while she and Tracy went on a cruise. Ellie was a good dog, but not quite sure what to think of Hercules! Of course Hercules was trying to be the "dominant dog" since it was his home. Just try to imagine 5 whole pound of "dominance"!!! They did end up playing before the week was over (they looked scary at times). We did take them on a hike to Burgess Falls, and they really enjoyed their time outside. Here a few pictures from the week.
After the 50th Anniversary celebration was over, we brought Hercules over for my family to meet him! I think Hannah, Madison, and Caleb liked him the most!!! Of course, he enjoyed meeting them too!!
We recently celebrated my Grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary. What an amazing accomplishment to make it 50 years together!!! We had a reception at my home church with cake and punch and lots of family and friends! Probably the coolest moment of the day was when the "guys" gave my Granny a journey in time necklace. No one knew they did it and it was a great suprise. The guys were her two sons and two son-in-laws (my Dad and my uncles). It was a great day. Here are some of the pictures from the day. The first ones are of them giving my Granny her necklace.
