Fall...the best time of the year!

2.) Pumpkins

3.) Hubers Orchard and Winery (they have the best apples Ive ever had in my life.)

4.) Bright yellow mums

5.) The gorgeous weather

6.) High school football games

7.) Bonfires...smores, hot dogs, burnt marsh mellows...yum.
8.) My moms chili
9.) Sweaters

10.) Thanksgiving

Sawyer loves her Mimi and Papaw!




There's one thing for sure...Sawyer is just crazy about her Mimi and Papaw! I've never seen a child be more crazy about their granparents, but seeing them with her-there's really no wonder why. They are equally as crazy about her. They give her tons of hugs and kisses, give her yummy treats (like pumkin ice cream), play the funnest games, buy her the neatest toys, let her make a disaster area of their home all for a little fun, and they make her smile and laugh almost every single day. They cherish her. They are patient with her. They are proud of her. They have given unselfishly of their time, money, and most of all, love. Sawyer is truly such a lucky little girl to have them in her life, and I just know she will come to realize that more and more as she grows into a young woman. Thank you Mom and Dad-we love you :)

Thanksgiving...and Pigtails!







Well, we had yet another wonderful Thanksgiving this year! Preston, Sawyer and I went over to Mom and Dads house and spent the day eating and spending time with my family. We had the most AMAZING food-mostly thanks to Mom and Mamaw- and an all around great day! Our family has a tradition of exchanging gifts on Thanksgiving instead of Christmas, we call them 'secret turkey gifts,' so its always fun and exciting to see the neat things everyone gets. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday...I so enjoy spending time with the people I love, and we truly have SO MUCH to be thankful for!
Psalm 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is GOOD; His love endures FOREVER."
On another topic: Sawyer girl now has long enough hair for pigtails!!! I did them for the first time last week, and she looks absolutely ADORABLE with them...she look like such a big girl!
