Thanksgiving

 We have SO much to be grateful for this year. This is the year we completed our family with Kinsley! Joyner was able to start working for Advance Auto Parts again (and work form home). Blake and I were able to go back to school. For the most part (minus Joyner getting COVID) we have all been healthy. I was able to stay at home with Kinsley for extra time because of summer break. Blake has been able to play a new sport. The list really does go on and on. We have so many blessings to count and we are grateful for each and every one of them. 

This year our family started the tradition of "The Grateful Jar". We put this jar on our dining room table and each day we would add something we were grateful for. Then today, on Thanksgiving, we read all of the things that we have written down. It was so nice to share our gratitude with each other. I am so excited about carrying this tradition on each year in November. 

This year was our turn to have Blake for Thanksgiving and to spend it with my family. We had a wonderful day! 

Kinsley 7 Months

 Lucky number 7! Baby K is 7 months old today and she is such a mess. She is loving all of her solid foods (except peas). she loves sitting up and playing with all of her toys. One of her favorite things right now is her bouncer. And she absolutely is the smiliest and cuddliest thing around.

Playground Fun

 I love it when life slows down a little and you can take a day to really cherish all that is around you. Today I am soaking up the sun at the playground with my little ones...and I couldn't be more grateful for all that we have! 

Trick or Treat

 It is Halloween and of course we go all out for Trick-or-Treating! This year we had some unique costumes...

Blake was Marshmellow (a popular DJ)...

Kinsley was a little purple monster (the cutest little monster ever)...

I was a scarecrow (thinking about it later we should've made Kinsley the crow...)

And Joyner was a glow in the dark stick figure...the picture doesn't do it justice. 

We had such a fun time and we even went trick-or-treating with our besties (the Jarrell Family) in their neighborhood! 

Our Little Pumpkins

 It is that time again... we headed out to the pumpkin patch at Hillride Farms! This was Kinsley's first time and she loved exploring all the pumpkins! 

We also had a great time carving the pumpkins. We had double the fun this year and we all drilled out initials in the extra pumpkins! 

Tractors Corn Maze

 We had such a great time at Tractors Corn Maze last year, so we decided to go again! We had just as much fun this year and we were even able to do a hay ride this year as well! 

Smores & Movie Night

 Our family LOVES s'mores and we have really loved our outdoor movie set up, so we decided to share with the neighborhood! We invited everyone out to enjoy the firepit/s'mores and a movie - Hocus Pocus. We had such a fun time. We are so grateful for a home that allows us to enjoy our family friendships and our favorite things!
