Future Wrestler...

 Steve had a home match right after Thanksgiving.  I took Stevie to watch.  I surprised Steve by bringing one of the singlets we had at the house.  She had a little chair right next to his.  Every time he yelled at a kid to do something, she yelled too.  It was toooo cute!! 


She looks like he just told her to go wrestle somebody twice her weight...


I think he enjoyed having her there...


She wanted to help roll the mats up...

Too cute!!!

This picture is too cute for words.  I'm sure she watching Wonder Pets or Olivia.....

Decorating the house

 It is becoming a tradition that we decorate the outside of the house the day after Thanksgiving.  It was much easier this year, because we already had everything and didn't have to make 3 trips to Wal-Mart.  My husband and son did a GREAT job this year!!!



 Before we got the candles in the windows....

Thanksgiving 2010

 I must first start out by saying that I really don't grab the camera enough.  I definitely didn't take enough Thanksgiving pics this year.  I don't have one of Uncle Michael who drove all the way in from Midlothian.  It must be known though that we had enough food for 20, even though there were only 5 of us.  
 
 We went out in the yard to help feed the birds.  Aunt Shelly was trying to catch Stevie...


She finally caught her....


 

The weather was nice enough for Stevie to spend some time in her swing...


Uncle Nick stopped by for a visit.  He hooked up our wireless internet while he was here.  Yeah!!! for Uncle Nick.....


Stevie played dress-up with Aunt Shelly's clothes....

Snuggle Time

 The only time Stevie likes to snuggle is when she is REALLY tired... you don't see it happen often....


Snuggling with Sarryn...


 With Sarryn and David.....


With David watching the Wonder Pets or Olivia.....

The Wonder Pets

 We decided in September that all the kids could be the Wonder Pets for Halloween.  I knew that I would be making the costumes.  It was quite the undertaking.  Steve made the "Flyboat" for Stevie to ride in.  I don't think we did too badly....

 The Flyboat....
 Linny, Tuck and Ming-Ming too....


Of course, they had to have capes....


They looked adorable!!!!

Halloween pumpkins - Round 2

 Round 2 for Halloween pumpkins had us carving pumpkins...David, Sarryn and Steve all did one....





Sarryn hated putting her hands in the slimy pumpkin....


Steve had to help her....


David with his finished products....


Sarryn with her finished products....


Stevie and Steve's pumpkins.....

Decorating pumpkins - Round 1

 Steve's Aunt Missy sent all the kids pumpkin decorating kits.  I got them pumpkins and we sat on the front porch to decorate them.  We were doing great until we realized that Stevie was shoving pieces between the cracks in the boards.   I think everyone had fun....



 The final product.....

Snoozing with daddy

Stevie loves to cuddle up with her daddy in bed.  They are sooooo cute together!!

Stevie's 2010 ASU game

 Steve and I took Stevie to her yearly Appalachian football game in the middle of October.  We had the time to let her run around and play on the mall.  It was great to play with her there.  The leaves had started to fall and it was a perfect photo op. 






She posed with her daddy with Daniel Boone.  She loved the dog, her favorite word to say.


It didn't take her long to get the hang of yelling for the Mountaineers.  She really loved the music.




Kara Hamilton was in Boone that weekend to visit friends.  She came over and sat with us during the lat quarter. 

Dixie Classic Fair

 We spent the day at the Dixie Classic Fair and everyone had a great time!!!  We rode the rides, looked at ALL the exhibits, and ate a whole lot of really unhealthy food.  We had a Krispy Kreme hamburger, which had 2 doughnuts as the buns, and fried butter.  It was outstanding!!!!  We had to balance out the bad food by eating an apple while we were there.

The big kids love to ride Grandpop's favorite ride, the bumper cars.  I think David likes them so much because he is better at it than Sarryn and can really push her around.

David anticipating all the fun....
 David pushing Sarryn....


Stevie was mad because she couldn't ride the bumper cars.... maybe next year....


Sarryn and David still lvoe the fun houses....


Stevie rode the train with Sarryn....


and the construction vehicles with David....


 Stevie thought she was the boss as she walked around....


We played "Pick up the ducks"


The lasy was great and let Stevie pick up a whole bunch of ducks...



Sarryn and David like to ride the swings....



Stevie got to pet a rabbit that was almost as big as she is...


She did NOT enjoy riding the ponies this year.... I hope that she enjoys it next year....


Sarryn, David and I rode the huge ferris wheel.  It amazes me at how old they look now.....

We thought this was a kiddie merry-go-round, but it went faster than the big one....


My pretty family....
