Georgia trip with the Smiths

We went to Blue Ridge, Georgia with our friends Tina and Roman who used to live here but moved to Ohio. We went last year with them to georgia and they invited us again this year to join them...It was really great seeing them and spending time. I miss Tina so much, we had gotten so close and were running all the time...it's just not the same without them!

The cabin was beautiful...It was the same one that the Smiths stayed in last year so we knew where it was and it was a pretty smooth 8 hour drive to get there.

We had planned to Horseback ride but the day we arrived and the following day it had done nothing but rain so the woman at the ranch canceled us because it was too dangerous to bring the kids and horses up the mountains. We were a bit bummed.

We went to the pumpkin farm and 2 apple farms and on main street they had a dog parade. It was a beautiful weekend of no fighting, no tv and just good fun for the kids...simply finding things among nature to occupy them...like making teams and throwing acorns at each other.

Lots to catch up on....

Right now I'm in Colorado and have some time to myself so I'm hoping to catch up with this. I have pictures from the girls dance recital in our neighborhood, our trip to Georgia with the Smiths, Halloween night, Kasey's science project on Evaporation, my friend Lora and I went to Epcot Food and Wine Festival, Erin field trip to the movies, The Relay for Life, Walking with the Dinosaurs and of course this adventure I'm about to take with Jimmy.

I'm not sure exactly how to post the pictures since I'm on my brothers computer and not sure about how he'll feel about me downloading the 1000 or so pictures that I have on my camera. He's funny like that. Like, I'm sitting at his desk right now...and god forbid I touch his "pen". It's an ordinary black papermate pen. But I cant touch it. It might screw up his .....I don't know aura or something.

Go figure. Just kidding Bob"o".

So anyway..I'll write a little about the subject and try to post some matching pictures.

This is the girls performing in our neighborhood fall festival. I was so proud of them because as I mentioned in the past they hadn't shown too much interest in dance over the years and now they are into it and they got up on stage in front of all the people and DANCED!! They did ballet, tap, and hip-hop numbers. ok....I'm back finally have the posts written and now I'm adding pictures. I guess most of the dance pictures are on my mom's camera so I'll have to download those when I get back home.

Anchor on the WC morning announcements!

For 3 days last week Kasey was the anchor for the morning announcements. She even got to announce Erin's birthday on Wednesday. I wasn't allowed in the room in which the taping was being recorded but watched on the big screen in the media center. We are so proud of Kasey for volunteering to do this because the shy Kasey I know...would never have been broadcast on tv for the whole school to watch! She's really coming into her own!

Erin's 8th birthday

Erin turned 8 on Wednesday the 8th. Here are some pictures from her birthday dinner and her birthday party at Studio 6.

Friends visiting

My friend Suzanne and her family came in for a visit from LI. We went to Seaworld for Trick or Treating.

Chase's soccer game in Orlando

My cousin Chase (#4) is on a traveling competitive soccer team that was here in Orlando last week...They WON the games!!

So here are the cousins...Chase, Tristin, Kasey and Erin

Wow! Awesome Kasey girl!

Last week, not surprising to us that know Kasey, my girl received an award for Good Character. Two children were chosen from each class throughout the entire school.

Good job my baby girl!
