November 2014

Simms sang in FRA's Veteran's Day Program & did a wonderful job!
Clarke cheered all season long for our Tigers even though we left her at home most games. 
Simms had her 7 year checkup. She was healthy and petite!
Full of personality!
Papa and all of his grandkids minus Birdie. 
Fun tailgating with Dru and these girls!
My precious little Tigers before school.
 
These 2 had a sick visit & strep together. 
Cope's class had a Thanksgiving Feast! They were able to earn feathers for learning different things in class. They could earn 6 and he got 5! He worked SO hard to learn our LONG address! So proud of him!
EARLY on November 22 Dru took Cope hunting and he shot his first doe. Dru had to hold the gun bc it was too big for him but Cope aimed and pulled the trigger. He hasn't been that excited about anything! It was great! Thankful they are making these memories!
Simms lost her second tooth on November 23...
We carried on our family tradition of gathering at our church with other families to decorate our beautiful church for Christmas. I always love this night with my family. 
And then a few days later she lost a third tooth! Tooth Fairy was going broke!
4 BIG reasons to be thankful on Thanksgiving AND everyday. This was Thanksgiving morning before heading to Memes. 
We decorated for Christmas!! Such an exciting time especially with 3 kiddos!
We had a fun morning at a friend's house at Breakfast with Santa. We've missed this the past 3 or 4 years so I was so glad we could make it this year! Clearly Clarke wasn't too sure about St. Nick. Classic!
Big Cope was ready for the Iron Bowl. Sadly we didn't win, but there IS next year! WDE!
Our family lit the first candle of Advent at church on November 30. It was a special morning!

Simms turns 7!

I cannot believe our sweet Simms turned 7 on November 1!
After a birthday breakfast and us all singing to her, she was ready for her party! Of course it was a FROZEN theme! And little did she know but I had Anna and Elsa surprising her with a visit!
She had the best day! She was so happy at her party and never quit smiling!

Simms has been a true JOY for 7 years! Our first born is a sweet, quiet one. She's sensitive and smart. Giggles all of the time. And she is the biggest helper to me. I have complete confidence and trust in her and I love her so very much! She's a great student and we are so proud of how hard she works at school. 

She's my best little friend. And always will be.

September & October 2014

Our Fall got off to a great start! We spent our last weekend at the lake for a while for Labor Day!
Then got into the grind of school and  going to AU for Auburn football on the weekends!
Simms was so excited about her Aubie necklace GiGi got her at the AU Bookstore!
Cope fits right in on the Plains! 
Sweet sisters before church. 
This sweetie turned 15 months old!
And loves Auburn too. Although we only took her to the first game! 
Simms did cheer camp after school for a week. She loved it and got to cheer at a Pep Rally & Half time  of a football game. 
I enjoyed Muffins with Mom with these 2!
And Cope enjoyed Ninnie & Papa at Grandparent's Day Breakfast!
Simms & Mae enjoyed their dance school's Princess Breakfast that raised money for St. Jude 
Birdie helped Daddy feed the cows 
And Simms had another great visit at the dentist!
Fun in Auburn!
Especially for these 4!!
Spirit Week was lots of fun for Simms & Cope!
Still cheering on AU from home!
Simms met her newest cousin, Kate!
She's a beauty. 
Who loves a Juice Box. 

Cope's class went to the Atlanta Zoo!
We enjoyed Disney's FROZEN On Ice in Atlanta! It was a great show!
Some Sundays I've lost it and take this combo to the store with me. 
Love that smile!
Cope and Simms entered pumpkins in the PTO Pumpkin Contest. They loved voting on the pumpkins in the mornings with their pennies. 
This little love was 16 months on October 20!
And eats good AND can eat with a fork!
Have I mentioned how huge FROZEN is in this house? And in this country? And in the world? Yeah. 
3 babies in a bed. Perfect. 
Oh she was sad we were leaving for Auburn again!
The kids did a runway show at church of characters in the bible. I have Moses and Mary. 
My 3. Playing in a box. 
Annual Pumpkin Carving!
So sweet to me. 

Trick or Treat! An Army soldier, a love bunny and Elsa. 
Celebrating turning 7 a day early at FRA!
