Fun-filled weekend!

We had a busy, yet fun weekend! Friday night we went to the Trousdale Co/Clay Co. game. It wasn't much of a game (42-0 TC winning at halftime) but we were there because they were honoring the 1998 State Championship team that John was on. I guess Mitchell thought he was part of the team, because he took off after John once he saw him on the field. Mitchell also made his first radio appearance. Pops took him up into the press box where they do the radio and Mitchell got to say a little something on the radio-not exactly sure what he said!
Saturday was Halloween in the Park at our local park. Of course Mitchell couldn't wear his Mickey costume since it was 85 out, so we went with Plan B. Plan B was, find whatever you have at the house and make it a costume. I didn't want to go buy a costume so we worked with what he had and Mitchell was a farmer/Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn-whichever. There were LOTS of people there and it was HOT so we didn't stay but about an hour.
Theres my little Tom Sawyer!
YUM-I love suckers! Taking a lap around the park on the hayride!

Sunday we met Uncle Craig, Aunt Jamie, Nolen, and Trevor at Pumpkin Hill. We went on a hayride and picked out pumpkins!

CHEESE!
Look at those handsome boys! They will melt some girls hearts with all of those blue eyes!

Family pic!

The Sanfords! Craig with the famous "Sanford crooked smile"

This guy was working so hard he didn't see the baler coming along, so he ended up baled up with the hay!

Man, that pumpkin must have been REALLY heavy!

Thanks for the help Daddy!

Trevor man with his pumpkin! Trevor gave us a great horse impersonation on the hayride! HAHA

Nolie with his prize pumpkin!

Someone got a little jealous once they saw me and Nolen taking this picture! Hmmmm, wonder who it was!

Cutie pie in his daddy's hat!

The boys mooing at the cows!

Can't go anywhere without a silly picture of daddy!

Sister-in-laws!

Taking a rest after the long hayride!

The end to a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Jessie!

Tuesday was my friend Jessie's birthday! She knew two of her friends were taking her out to eat, but that was all she thought was coming. So it was a big surprise when she walked in and there were more people there! Of course Shannah and I had to come in fashionably late, so we were even more of a surprise! HAHA We had a great time, especially hearing all about how Jessie was as a child from her mom! hehe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSIE!

All smiles!

YUMMY!

me, Jessie and Shannah with the birthday girl!

Travis & Demi's Wedding

Just wanted to say Congrats to the newly married couple-Demi & Travis! It seems like just yesterday Travis was running around dancing to our cheers in softball. When Jamie and I were around 11 &12 we played on the same softball team and we would circle up and do cheers/dances and little Travis was always right there with us! They had a beautiful wedding Saturday evening! And some very cute ring bearers! ;)
Here he is still dancing-down the aisle this time!

Happy couple!

Family pic!

There's the Jr. Ring Bearer! He was SO cute in his little tux! He did a great job making it up on the stage to his mommy too, but then decided he didn't want to be held, so Grandma came to the rescue!

They are loving each other more and more everyday!

WOW! First picture ever where all three are sitting still and sort of looking at the camera!

Jamie looking very pretty with her two boys!

Mitchell thought he would test out the old myth... "If mommy won't buy it, Grandma (and Papaw) will!" We were waiting to go into the ceremony room at the hotel and Mitchell spotted some ice cream in this little store. Of course he wasn't happy that mommy or daddy wouldn't buy him any. Well we turn our heads for one minute and this is what we find...

Mitchell says that this myth is NOT busted!

Like Father like son! So handsome!

Grandma and her little man!

Mitchell heard that the boys needed some entertainment while pictures were going on, so he came to the rescue and they all started playing, lets run up and down the aisle and knock each other over game!

Nolen is taking this game VERY seriously!

WATCH OUT Mitchell, hear i come!

Mitchell dancing with Aunt Jamie!

Which one is Mitchell?? I didn't realize how much Mitchell looked like Christy's twin boys! They could defintely be his 4 yr. old twin brothers!

That was SO much fun!

Happy Birthday Maddie!

We just wanted to wish Miss Maddie a Happy 2nd Birthday today! She had her cowgirl themed birthday party on Saturday and it was a blast! She's such a little cutie pie! They had a pony to ride, a performing goat, some rabbits, and a miniature chicken! Then the kiddos (and big kiddos :0) played in the bouncy house some. We ate supper and had some cake! What a fun night!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDIE

Showing off her new high heels! She loved these shoes and just started taking off running in them. Luckily no twisted ankle!

The Carey boys checking out the rabbits and miniature chicken!

This was Maddie's expression when she first saw Mitchell! They sure love each other!

Mitchell gave the birthday girl a kiss!

Mitchell thinking to himself... "I'm about to pounce on momma!"

"Got you Momma!"-Mitchell's exact words!

I'm beat!

I love this picture of Maddie! I think she was jumping up!

Time to cool off!

Watching the balloons fly away that Pops let go!

What a great pic with Pops and Gram!

Mitch & Pops favorite place to hang out-on the deck watching the fish in the pond!

Ride 'em Cowgirl!

Possibly my favorite picture of all time! Isn't he a cute cowboy??!!

Or is this cowboy the cutest?? Hmmmmm, no i think I'll vote for the first cowboy! HAHA

Finishing up our hayride! Whenever we would stop, both of them just kept saying, "Go again, go again" How could Pops resist!

The end to a fun fun night!

MJ5K

Saturday morning Shannah and I woke up quite early to head out to the second annual MJ5K hosted by our church! The goal this year was 200 people-we met the goal plus one! 201! The proceeds went to the Wilson County K-9 Search and Rescue Team and to Speed the Light, which is a missions organization! I had been running about 3 times a week for about 20 minutes at a time, so my goal was to run at least 2 miles then just see how I felt. Well i hit the 2 mile mark, and right after that was a steep hill. I think I walked maybe 30 seconds then finished out the last mile! We started between Chick-Fil-A and Panera Bread, then ran through the Providence shopping area, then back in a couple neighborhoods, then back to Panera Bread! It had a few more hills than I thought but we pushed through and made it. I think my time was 33.12 or somewhere around that, then Shannah was a little bit behind me. She did great too! She's more of a sprinter, so she went past her goal too! The winner ran it in 18 minutes! He was scootin'! I'll never see that time. I couldn't even run one mile in 6 minutes! HAHA My two biggest fans showed up right before the shotgun to support us and take some pics! Thanks John and Mitchell for coming out, i love you!
The BEFORE picture! 7:30 in the morning, don't we look flattering! HAHA

And we are OFF!

Heading up the last big hill!

Gotta smile for the camera, but only because the end is near!

Work it Shannah! Determination of a seasoned runner!

The AFTER picture! Nice and sweaty, but at least we made it!

Way to go Mommy!

Shoooo-weeee ya'll stink!

More fun with cousins!

Tuesday morning we met Aunt Jamie, Nolen, and Trevor at the park in Lebanon. It was a beautiful day and the boys had a great time! And Aunt Jamie and I got in some "Adult Conversation"- in between making sure noone escaped or hurt the other one! Then we headed off to McDonald's for more fun and food! Thanks for a fun day, we hope to do it again soon!
Check out some great pictures Jamie took of the boys!
