THANKFUL Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for today and everyday! 

I am so thankful for God and knowing that he forgives me no matter the mistakes I have made! 

I am thankful for my husband who sacrifices so much for me and our two boys we are truly blessed and I hope that this is something I never take for granted!!

I am thankful for my boys, they are the light of my life and I am forever grateful that I was chosen to be their mama! 

The list could go on and on with things that I am thankful for. This year I feel as though things have been put in perspective more than years past and for whatever reason I hope that I can continue to be grateful for the things I have and always remember to count my many blessings!

Family Pictures

Having family pictures taken is a little bit of an obsession to me. I love looking back on pictures we have had taken over the years and seeing how much we have changed. My husband, not so much a fan of family photos! He knows that at LEAST once a year we will have some kind of pictures taken and he's just learned to deal with it : ) This Saturday (October 29) we had an appointment with a photographer to have our pictures for Christmas cards. When I made the appointment little did I know it was the day of the Georgia/Florida game (at the same time as our pictures) and apparently the best time of day for hunting...oops! Kerry was not the happiest person in the world, but he went (not that he had much of a choice ; )..)and I am so thankful that he did! Here is a preview of the pictures that we had taken.

Wine Fest

Sunday, After I ran the half-marathon I went to the Watkinsville Wine fest with my friend Mandi. There were vendors from different wineries around Georgia and also food vendors from some of my favorite restaurants in Athens. Each restaurant or winery had their "specialty" to sample (which was more like a full serving) and they gave coupons for their restaurant. We had so much fun and this was just what I needed after running 13.1 miles : )

Pumpkin Patch 2011

On Thursday we finally went to the pumpkin patch in Watkinsville. Since we went on a weekday they unfortunately didn't have any of the other fun things going on (petting zoo, corn maze, pig races etc.) but, we still had fun choosing our pumpkins. I think it was the coldest it has been so far this Fall so we were quick to make our choices. Here are a few pictures from our visit to Washington Farms. 

Walker picked out a 29 lb. Pumpkin!!!

The Kaolin Festival

I took Carson and Walker to the Kaolin Festival this past Saturday. I thought there would have been a lot for them to do, but mainly it was just a parade. No doubt they still had so much fun. We got to see my mom (their Mimi) and my grandparents which is always exciting. Their favorite part of the parade was getting candy that people would throw from the floats, they could have cared less about the actual things going on in the parade. We walked downtown after the parade to look at some of the booths that were set up (mostly food vendors), there were a few bounce houses and the boys always like to do those. Here are just a few pictures from our fun Saturday.

It's hard to get them interested enough to get a picture
