Need a little Sunshine

Well it had a little bit since I had seen Annagrace and have not been able to spend much time with her. I asked Gary if him and Noah wanted to go with me to Columbus to visit. Off we went Saturday after a late night of trick-a-treating. I don't think a bigger smile could have been put on my face once I open the door to Candi's and Annagrace saw her Aunt Carol. She ran to me smiling. It made me so happy to know she knew who I am even though I don't get to see her every day. She gave me a BIG hug until she saw Gary and Noah. She stopped and looked at them like who is that. Candi had something to do so we took Annagrace with us to the mall until she was done. She is so smart. She like Elmo. We all went to Christmas Made in the South walked around for several hours and then went back to Candi's to play.

yummy lunch time

Gary and Lucy played ball while Annagrace ate lunch.

Lucy loved playing with Gary.

Lucy waited for Noah to throw the ball.

She will retrieve the ball every time you throw it.

Annagrace is in Jeep behind her play house.

Gary is pulling her around cause the battery is dead. She don't care as long as she is riding.

We ask Candi to take some pictures while it was so pretty outside.

She likes to play with her kitchen.It was getting late and we had to get on the road. It is always hard to say good bye with out crying. Annagrace was saying Gary and Noah by the time we left and said Kiss kiss hug hug to both of them and was doing silly thing to me laugh just before we walked out. She is growing up to quick and is very smart.

Halloween 2008

Robert and Deannie's house

Noah and Jared
Katie (the Dotson)

This years Halloween was a special one for me. I was able to go trick-a-treating. Well not me per say but I went with Noah and Gary. We went to Gary's dad's neighbor hood which is very nice here in Covington. Gary had called to tell his dad and step mom Deannie that Noah would be bringing a friend with him. They were thrilled that Noah had a friend that he could hang out with. Once we got there they found out it was me that Gary was referring to they just laughed. Noah said she is my friend.

This dog is a mess!!!! and confused one she has on the wrong sweater. It should be Alabama.
Oh that is what that look is for on her face. They put a Georgia sweater on her and she didn't like it. Or could it be she is dressed up like a bulldog for Halloween? I told you she is confused. Her mom Tara is a bulldog fan and her dad is a roll-tide fan.

We never did know the one in the middle but he was very strange.
Behind them is a barn that was made into a haunted house. The boys
loved it. They would go through it as long as we would stand there in cold
and let them.

This is not to clear but it was funny to watch the boys get scared.
This house was decorated up!! There was a fog mechine at
the front door that covered them when they walked up.
I don't remember ever seeing so many trick-a-treater in
one place at one time. The streets had so many little
one walking with there bags of candy.

Deannie had made a big pot of home soup and corn bread. She also made a home pound cake. The soup was very good. It hit the spot after trick a treating because we were all very cold.

This was a very special night for me. I did not know his entire family was going to be there. I got to meet everyone at once. He has two stepsister one who is married and has two daughters. The other who is engaged and he has a son. Everyone made me feel welcome.

Noah's Fall Festival at his school

Noah would start on one end and have to make it to the other end. This may look easy looking at this picture....but have about twenty other kids on here at the same time, makes it a little bit more of a challenge. One kid was sitting on the round tube while Noah was inside of it at one point.

But he did makes it to the end finally. Good job!!

This was suppose to be a side but instead was a jump. The kids
would stand at the top and jump off and land on the bottom.

Look out below!!!

Noah putting his socks and shoes back on.

Noah took this picture of Gary and I. It took
several times but he did a good job. He had never
used my camera before but I think it turn out cute.

I do believe he had a good time at the festival.
There was a little girl that said "Hey Noah" when
we first walked in. His daddy asked if that was
his girlfriend. Noah said no. She was cute. The
weather was prefect to be outside.

Fall Festival In Columbus

I went to Columbus to visit and see the little pink poodle

But before all of the fun began we attended the funeral service for our close friend Carol Silva. I will have great memoirs or her and her family. I grew up Scott and Troy. Don and Carol were there to listen to me when I needed to talk to someone.
The Silva's and our family all went to Florida one year and camped out. That is a vacation trip I will always remember. The Silva family are dear to me and will always be dear and close me I will miss Carol but I know she will not have to suffer any more.
Once the service was over we had to go back to Candi's house and change clothes and headed back over to church.

Triston went home with us and had so much fun at the festival. He is a great kid and is very welled mannered.

Ok Better Later Than Never

I found a new place a town house. I have the best neighbors ever. The littler boy is 9 years old and his name is Noah. The first time I met him.... he was a gentleman from the start and has not stopped. I said "Hi my name is Carol" and then he stuck his hand and to shake my hand and said "Hi my name is Noah nice to meet you". The young man won my heart from that day on. He makes me laugh every day. Every day when I get home from work, he comes out the door to greet me and ask me how my day was and gives me a hug. His dad's name is Gary. I can't say enough good about him either. He is good to me also. He always ask how my day went at work and listen to what I have to say. We try to eat dinner at the table together every day. Sometimes this does not happen due to our schedules. We have movie night or play board games or just talk a walk all of us.



This is the two of them being silly as always. He is very good dad. to Noah. He has taught him manners, and how to "Wait on a Woman". that is their saying.

oh and Noah is not shy when it comes to taking pictures

Can you tell by these pictures that he isn't shy?

What a cute boy this boy is!!!!!

What a handsome man who does not like his picture taken.
