The Link Animals

We actually have a new addition to our animals but I don't have a picture yet. It is probably the ugliest animal I've ever had......Allie's pet turtle, named Tiny Tim. It's really little and Allie loves it. She pets it and lets it crawl up her neck and back. Yeah, pretty gross. I've come to realize that Allie is a true animal lover. She reminds me of my cousin Candace loving the reptiles like she does. Candace always had "weird" pets. Tiny Tim is really not a bad pet, except when he got lost in the living room the other night....another story!Lulu, (the dark brown one), is 10 years old. I got her when Timmy and I were dating and she's been thru a lot. She's also had many puppies in which I made money off of. She's a little grouchy at times now, but she's our old timer. Cooter, (the yellow one), is our barking dog but we love him to death. He has barked most of his life. It drives us crazy sometimes but it has advantages too. He is for sure the laziest dog I've ever had though.Crook has been with us since we moved in. He was born without a tail and of all the cats I've had, I think he's been my favorite. He has always came in the house when we were home but for some reason I am now allergic to him so he stays outside all the time. He is always catching mice, moles or rabbits and of course brings them up to the door in the garage to show us. And last but not least, there is George and Jackey. They stay on a sugar high all the time from Allie giving them candy. She holds the suckers for them and most of the time they just go ahead and eat the stick and all. Timmy gets so mad at them when we're fishing in the pond because they literally try to eat the line off the poles. Oh well, their worth it I guess.

"Our Barbie Jeep"



Allie goes nowhere without chaz riding with her in her jeep. Thank goodness for the seat belt though. Let's just say that we only hope Allie's driving gets better before she's 16. Wide open she goes giving chaz whiplash the whole way as she starts and stops all the time. Of course, the battery always quits the farthest away from garage. I had to take this picture of her walking him up the hill after it quit. She was talking to him the whole way.

I Love Fall

November 3rd is my birthday.....and this year it's my 30th. It couldn't have been a prettier fall day for my birthday. This evening, Timmy and I took the kids outside to play in the leaves. They had so much fun. After I took these pictures and looking at them, I was laughing at what the kids are wearing, especially Chaz's pants. Thanks goodness for daycare clothes though. Easton and Timmy raked the leaves up and then they would all jump in them. It got colder as the evening went on so Timmy built a fire and burned some brush behind the house. Easton kept asking for marshmallows, which he doesn't even like after they been roasted. What a great family night. Happy Birthday to me!!!!






The Hockman Family

I had the opportunity to get to take the Hockman family pictures a few days ago. I was not going to post any because Jessica has a blog linked from mine and I figured she would post some. But sorry Jessica, I couldn't help it.......the boys were too cute for me not to put some on here. We go to church with the Hockmans and Easton and Clayton are friends. Also, Jessica and I have been friends for many years. The boys are very photogenic and I enjoyed taking these. Here are a few.





Halloween


Hope everyone had a great Halloween! My kids sure did. I think they are still on a sugar high. Easton does all that trick or treating for tootsie rolls and reese cups. He really don't like any other candy much. However, Allie LOVES candy. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure she would live off it if her body would allow her too. In the beginning of the night, Chaz didn't really know what to do, but he soon caught on what people were putting in his bucket. It didn't take long for him to just sit down and start digging into the candy. He screamed if he didn't get to eat a sucker the whole time. So, the whole time, we just let him. That's what it's all about, right? Our church does trunk or treat, which by the way is wonderful, so we did that and then to some family and friends around White Mills and home. The last stop was at mammaw's & pappaw's house where we stripped the kids costumes off & headed for a bath and called it a night. I don't know who was stickier; me or Chaz.
