So much to thank HIM for

We had Thanksgiving at my Aunts house this year. We had it at my house last year but decided to have Christmas Dinner at my house instead. Jan had everything so pretty and decorated very good. We all love being together and our family is very close. We are the kind of family that has to say, "I love you" before we get off the phone, no matter who we are taking too! And I just love that. Being with family during the Holidays is priceless! Dustin's family always hasThanksgiving that night so it works out prefect for us! Bryce, Gage and Landon eating some good food!

Alex and MeMy cousin, Alex, is really good at wrestling. It feels sooo weird to say that we have a wreslter in the family. He does the real thing which is UFC fighting. He had a match the weekend before Thanksgiving and he won in the 2nd round in only 1.34 minutes! After dinner we all watched him win and of course all the boys started wrestling. Landon had a blast with him!

He's got Landon!

Don't know who is winning here???

GO LANDON!

THE WINNER!!!!

Landon and one of his favorite cousins, Gage!

Family picture. Couldn't help but cry when I saw this picture. We all know there should be another little boy in here with us. I can just imagine how wide-open Trevor would be this year. I know he would have been pulling the ornaments off the tree! Love and miss you baby boy!

Dawn snuck up on me and Dustin while we were looking at the lake. There were tons of ducks out there and it was soooo pretty. We both love nature and fall is our favorite time because we love to see the leaves changing colors.

We caught her and turned around for a pic!

Trying to get Bryce still so Dawn could take a pic!

Twins and Best Friends!

Me and Dustin went to the Carolina/Arkansas game Saturday and had a blast. We went to eat at one of our favorite places in Columbia then headed to the stadium. It was cold but we had a great time. Of course, Carolina lost and I was happy about that! But Dustin wasnt! We left at the end of the 3rd quarter and headed to Starbucks for 2 grande toffee mochas and two double-chocolate brownies! Landon stayed with Dustin's parents and when we called he was already asleep so we just let him stay the night. I didnt take any pictures of us at the game, but here are a few that Dustin's daddy sent me throughout the game! He had a blast!

Playing with Grandma's Droid.

Fast alseep at 10:00!

Halloween 2010

Me and Lil' Red Riding Hood, BrooklynnDakota, Landon, and Brooklynn

Dustin was such a trooper, he had to hold Brooklynn just about all night long!

SPIDERMAN!

Landon had 2 Halloween partys at school this year. He was a vampire on Thursday, and then a Gamecock Football player on Friday(I know.....scary LOL). He had a blast at the partys but being Spiderman on Halloween night was by far his favorite!

VIP treatment at McLeod Farms!

Me, Dustin, and Landon went to eat at Bigs Friday late afternoon. Their grilled chicken tenders are by far the best I have ever had!!!! Anyways, after we ate and listened to Arty sing a while, we decided to go down to the pumpkin patch and pick some pumpkins. We looked around and couldn't find the pumpkin patch. It wasn't where it was last year. We seen a group of workers standing nearby, so Dustin went and asked him where we needed to go. He said it was too far to walk to so he offered to give us a ride there. He asked Landon if he wanted to ride on the golf cart or the tractor, and of course Landon choose the tractor! We were the only 3 people on the back of the tractor, and the weather was perfect. The moon was full and beautiful and the sky was soooo pretty. We got to ride through the whole farm! He took us through everything. When we finally arrived at the patch, we were all alone! We couldn't believe it! I just knew that there would be people there picking pumpkins. The man told us to take our time and pick as many as we want to. He said he would be waiting on the tractor for us. We picked out 2 large pumpkins and Landon got one small one. We got back to McLeod's and went in to pay for them and they were closing up and told us to just have the pumpkins on them! We were so happy and loved our ride and trip to the pumpkin patch! We carved them last night and had a blast!

*These pictures we taken from my phone so they aren't good at all!

First Trip to Carowinds!

Landon went on his first trip to Carowinds Saturday. The last time that me and Dustin went was when we were dating! We had a blast and Landon fell asleep while Dustin was holding him when we were standing in line to ride something. We went and sat on a bench under a tree and laid him across our laps and let him sleep for about 1 hour. We left at 5:30 and went to grab some supper then headed home. He had a blast and asked us Sunday when we were going back!Here he is sitting on the porch waiting on Grandma and cousin Dakota to come pick us up. It was chilly and early so he only sat on the porch about 10 minutes before he was ready to come in and watch cartoons until they got there!

I thought he looked soooo cute sitting here waiting.

They got to watch movies on the way so the ride wasnt too long.

Landon and Charlie Brown

The weather was soooo nice! It was chilly at first, but by lunch time we had to take our jackets off. I can't wait to take him back!

Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Landon's school went to the Wesley Pumpkin Patch today and I went along as a volunteer. We had a blast and the kids were wonderful! Here are some of the pictures from Landon's field trip!Landon, Mason, and Reese were inseparable the whole time today, even after we got back from the pumpkin patch. Guess they are going to be known this year as the 3 Amigos!
Story time

Landon and his best buddy, Mason!

Surprise Landon!

When I picked Landon up from school Monday at 12:00, we went and got some lunch and then went home and waited on Dustin to get home. Dustin got home around 12:30 and we told Landon we were going to Columbia for a while. We knew that if we told him we were taking him to the Zoo, there would be a million, "Are we there yet?" questions, so we thought it would be better if we just waited until we pulled up. And it was! He was super excited and we thought his reaction was priceless! The Zoo was so empty, it was like we had it all to ourselves. The weather was perfect. We took out time and Landon was able to walk around and play alot. The last time we went was in May and it was so hot and shoulder-to-shoulder, that we really couldnt enjoy ourselves. But not this time! I loved it and we had the best time spending some good quality time together!

I just love this picture of these 2!

watching the monkeys swinging around

Of course Landon has to stop and look at the worm he found on the ground while all kinds of wild animals all around him!

I just love these cute cuddily Koala Bears!

They have a walk-through exibit where you can walk right by the kangaroos!

I thought this bird was so pretty!

We had a blast and can't wait to take our little man back to the Zoo!
