Thanksgiving in Gatlinburg

We went to Gatlinburg to meet Brent's family for Thanksgiving. We got there a day ahead of time so the boys wanted to spend the day at Wonder Works. Wonder Works is a huge science museum. In the pictures, you will see Braden making big bubbles and Hunter laying on a bed of nails. There are also many other pictures.















































































We spent the rest of the time hanging out with the family at the condo, swimming and sightseeing. We spent our last day there at Ober Gatlinburg. Hunter tried ice skating for the first time. All of us took the opportunity to try the Alpine Slide and Sky Lift.

Bowling Fun

The boys went bowling with our church. Here are some action shots. Braden had a hard time because Hunter dropped a 10 pound ball on his toe at the very beginning.

Fall Time in October

In October, the boys and I traveled to Indiana to my sisters. We went to a pumpkin farm. They had pumpkin sling shot, trikes, corn maze, and a pumpkin patch. Here are several pictures from that adventure.
























































The boys did their tradition pumpkin carving.




























Hunter was Anakin Skywalker this year.

















Braden was Batman again this year.

Soccer Season

Hunter's soccer season has come to a close. His team had mostly ties. They did win a few and of course lost a few. Hunter played his heart out on the last game. He did very well. The deal was if he played well then mom had to finish filling up his alabaster box for church.














Braden's soccer team has one more game tomorrow and then we enter into tournaments. His team has done well. Braden like to play defense the most.

Amber & Jeremy's Wedding

Today was another milestone for Amber and Brent.







Brent handed Amber over to Jeremy this evening.

Back to School

August 19 marked the first day of school. Hunter will be a first grader this year. Hunter wasn't to thrilled about the idea of having to go back and sit and listen all day. He would much rather be outside. He also didn't like the news that there would only be 2 recesses this year instead of the usual 3. Braden was excited to go back to see his friends and start the learning again. Braden will be a third grader. He was thrilled to know several of his buddies would be in his class this year.
