HAPPY OCTOBER BIRTHDAYS!

After our trip to Gatlinburg we headed over to Knoxville to visit and celebrate October birthdays. Leah, Eli and Ashley all have birthdays in the same week!

HAPPY 13TH ANNIVERSARY

Since we were in Gatlinburg a few days before our 13th anniversary we stopped by the wedding chappel where we were married to show the girls.

GATLINBURG

We took a trip to Gatlinburg with our friends, Bert, Liz, Jeff and Mary and their kids earlier this month. We all had a great time. The kids especially loved the hot tub, pool table and having a big sleepover in the living room.

LAST SOCCER GAME

Soccer season is over. The Big Apple Bagel team won their first tournament game but lost the second one despite playing a great game. Here are some photos of Ashley in action. and a photo

of the team after the game.

HALLOWEEN

The girls had a great time trick-or-treating this year. Ashley dressed up as a sassy girly girl and our next door neighbor Jennifer dressed up as her dorky boyfriend. Ashley, Jennifer their friend Carly all went out trick-or-treating together. Our friends Bert and Liz came over with their daughter Lucy. Megan (Gabriella from High School Musical) and Lucy (Hannah Montana) went trick-0r-treating with Calvin and Bert and Calvin even dressed up in Ashley's wig for a while after she took it off!!

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 10th Birthday Ashley!!!! I can't believe she is growing up so fast! Here's the birthday girl getting ready for school on her big day.

ORCHESTRA

Ashley has joined the 4th Grade Orchestra and she plays the cello. They had a meet the teacher event last night where the parents could come and see what the kids have been learning. Ashley even had a chance to try and show Dad how to play the cello!

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

Ashley wanted to have a birthday sleep over this year. The girls all had a great time. They had her favorite Chick-Fil-A for dinner, cookie cake, treasure hunt, pin the nose on the pumpkin, pillow fights, movie time and lots of playing around. They especially enjoyed getting Dad involved in the pillow fight... until he started fighting back! The next day Grandma and Papa came over to celebrate Ashley's b-day.
