Happy Halloween!!!

McKenzie's 1st Halloween was fun. It was a dreary rainy cold day so we didn't do a whole lot. We went to the trunk or treat at the church and then went to Publix so Kenzie got some candy ... we we did really. Here are some pictures to enjoy!

McKenzie's new fav place ... her laundry basket. She also learned how to clap her hands today!

McKenzie's Baptism Weekend

This past weekend was McKenzie's baptism. We had both grandparents in town as well as Aunt Ashley and Uncle Ted. Saturday we went to Rockmart to the Corn Maze and had a blast! McKenzie got to see chickens for the first time. She loved being out there. She is an outdoor child so it was right up her ally. Sunday was the big day and I was super emotional. I dedicated McKenzie's life to God, well at least I dedicated myself to raising her to give her life over to God. It was a HUGE deal to me. The nice thing was the pastor who married Jason and I also performed her baptism. I thought that was really cool. After church we came home and had an old fashioned Sunday dinner. we then dressed McKenzie in her Halloween costume so the grandparents could get some pictures. Here are the few I have of the weekend. Momma should be posting on her blog soon with WAY more pictures. Check those out too!

Look Daddy - Chickens!!!

Its the most wonderful time of the year

So I know its a Christmas song but fall is really the most wonderful time of the year to me. I love everything about it. The weather is nice, football is great and decorating is the best!

I teach middle school but for some strange reason we have homecoming in my county in middle school. I'm not complaining because I love spirit week but I do find middle school homecoming odd. Anyways, I always offer extra credit for dressing up for spirit week. You get one point for each day you dress up. Well, after I had announced this opportunity along comes a competition. I LOVE competitions and I plan to win every one so yay I was excited! The competition was for the teacher with the highest percentage of participation by homerooom in spirit week would win. So I thought YES! I've got this in the bag. So here is what I won ... dancing the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" dance in a banana suit during the pep rally. Enjoy the pictures!

Western Day

Tacky Day ... Dawson was the only one who looked as tacky as I did

Its Peanut Butter Jely Time!!!

So today we got a pumpkin for our house. I was really excited to dress McKenzie up for church in her cute Halloween outfit Aunt Ashley bought her and take her to the pumpkin patch!

My wonderful family!

So I did a great job this year with the outside of the house. I made things on my own and I feel really creative for the 1st time EVER. Here is my house... enjoy!

Floods

As most of you know it flooded up here this past week. It rained from Wednesday to Monday causing a lot of flooding. Our house is perfectly fine, so we praise God for that! Also, school was cancelled Monday through Wednesday so I got to stay home and hang out with my favorite people! Thursday and today I had to go back to work but there were no students. Monday should be all back to normal. McKenzie has been fussy with the rain, teething and bathroom issues. She didn't smile much but here are some pictures from the past week!

Nole Girl - she really enjoyed that stomping that the Noles put on BYU!!!!

Tuesdays

Tuesdays are the best days of the week. That is mine and Jason's date night. Each Tuesday we go somewhere to eat and then come home and watch CSI. Usually our friend Mel watches Kenzie but yesterday Kenzie came with us! We ate at Ruby Tuesday because we had a buy one grt one free coupon. Then we came back and played horseshoes. I beat Jason!!! He was throwing with his left hand but I still beat him!!! Anyways ... here are some pictures of my loves.

McKenzie in the high chair - notice the FSU cover
