Alabama … is the best place for pictures!

While we were in Alabama, we took pictures at the “Pioneer Museum” and it was just beautiful. It had a train, an old school house and various other old pioneer buildings and things. We were there with our friends the Hornbergers and I had the opportunity to take picutres of Mimi and her daughter Maggie too. I’ll post those pictures in a bit. I would like you to see the ones of the girls that I took …. they ALL turned out so great …. but I’ll just show you a couple.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope that everyone who is celebrating today has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

Alabama Hunt Camp

Hi all …. I am blogging to you from Alabama where we are camping with some dear friends of ours … the Hornbergers!!!! We are having a blast and are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving …. but last night we had a chance to go out to Eric’s hunt camp and hang out … he took Brie hunting with him … they saw a couple of deer but didn’t have a chance to shoot anything. But here are a few pictures of us out at camp!

Before and After!

Well we finally broke down and painted the house …. boy did it need it badly. Eric and I picked the color … went to Lowe’s and bought the shutters that I’ve wanted on my house FOREVER … but had to wait until we had it painted …. We LOVE the color … we LOVE the shutters … we just LOVE IT!!!! So … here are the before and after photos!

Before (sort of a vanilla color)

After

I don’t know if you can really tell, but it is a beautiful shade of green …. it looks so nice. It wasn’t very sunny on this day, so maybe I’ll get some better pictures once the sun comes out.

Thanks for looking!

Pumpkins Done!!!

I thought the girls did a great job this year … every year they chose the face they want to put on the pumkins …. I help draw them and i also help cut too …. this year they look really really cool! Well I guess I say that EVERY year don’t I?LOL ….

Enjoy

Enjoy! (pssst …. more camera testing … hee hee hee)
