Gatlinburg 2009

November 6th was mine and Matt's ten year wedding anniversary. Unbelievable. I cannot believe we have been married that long. Of course, I don't remember life before him since we have been together so long. I just know that I am a very lucky woman and thank God everyday for sending this man into my life. He is a great father and wonderful husband and I love him very much! And in case you didn't notice, these girls love him too!!

To celebrate this occasion, we went to the place we honeymooned:Gatlinburg! After talking it over, there was just no way we could not take the girls with us so we all loaded up and we rented a chalet for a long weekend. The chalet was beautiful, as well as the weather!

After stuffing ourselves at the Log Cabin Pancake house, we started the day off just walking around Gatlinburg. We played games, shopped, did Ripley's Mirror Maze, ate at Fanny Farkles, and shopped some more!

We took a break for a minute in this pretty area and decided it would make a nice backdrop!

We had such a great time I told Matt we needed to make this our own little family tradition; just the five of us coming every year for a few days. It was worth every penny!

Who says you can't post Halloween pictures in November?

We had our families over for Halloween this year. I cooked chili, hot dogs, and brots, not too mention enough sweets to last till next year. After getting every body's belly full, we loaded up the kids and took them to our church trunk-or-treat, which is fabulous every year.

Isn't she the cutest??? I got this little ghost outfit at the Kid Market this year and I loved it on her. I can't believe how she is growing! When I bought the 3 month outfit, I just knew it would swallow her whole!

Here are Pocahontas, Snow White, and my little monkey!

Busy at the Georges!

I have been horrible about updating my blog but things have been crazy! Besides being busy with 3 kids (4 counting Matt) we have had sooooooooo much going on! Besides school, Cassidy is cheering for McAdory, she and Madison are both playing fall ball, and, oh yeah, a newborn! I am back to work so it seems like there is never enough hours in the day for anything. Oh well! I have included a few pictures and instead of trying to catch up, I will just move on! I will update again soon!

Charley Brooke George

Charley was born Monday August 17th at 12:45 pm. She was 5lbs 5 oz and 19 1/4 in long. She is at home and I am loving being the mom to three girls!

Heartbroken!!

That's the only way to describe me last weekend. Madison was in her room playing and Cassidy was in her room playing her Wii. Matt had been at the ballpark till midnight the night before so I wanted to let him sleep in a little late so I asked Cassidy to come watch Bolt with Madison while I took a 15 minute shower. This was not the first time I had asked her to do this so she said sure and I didn't think anything of it. Ten minutes into my shower Cassidy came barrelling into the bathroom screaming "Madison cut her hair!!" I grabbed a towel and ran as fast as I could to her bedroom, where she was sitting on her bed crying, all her pretty curls laying in the floor. I literally screamed like a wild woman, woke Matt up who came running into the bedroom to see what was going on, and started crying hysterically. I was crying so hard, Matt thought Madison had cut a body part off. I was inconsolable. I was so upset, Madison and Cassidy got upset, which upset me more! Anyways after I calmed down, I was just thankful she didn't cut herself for one thing and then I was also happy she didn't cut the front of her hair. All in all she actually did a decent job, we didn't even have to have it shaped up. I am really going to miss those curls!

This picture was just to show how long her hair had gotten.
This is it now (FYI the can is empty. She thinks she is a big girl when she holds it)

Nebraska

Back at the beginning of June, Matt and the girls took a road trip with his parents and sister and her kids to Nebraska to visit his mom's family. They stayed at the lake/man made ocean up there and had a good time. The weather was pretty chilly so the water was cold, but my girls could care less how cold it is, they just want to be in it. They had fun spending their days riding their bicycles, playing with all the kids (his mom has 5 brothers and sisters who all have kids and grandkids) and spending the day at the lake. I spent my week here at home missing them so needless to say I was very happy when they got back!!!

BJ's Graduation

BJ graduated from Huntington College last Saturday and we are so proud of him! The family loaded up and drove to Montgomery for the ceremony. Afterwards my dad took us all to eat at Outback. It was a wonderful night and you can see in the picture how much the girls love their bubba!
