kirby 7/4/1996 - 11/3/2011

Sweet Kirby left us on Thursday morning.  He was 15 years old, so he lived a long happy life.   He brought lots of joy to our family.  Lee and the kids miss him terribly.

This was the last picture taken of Kirby....and he just hopped in because he smelled food in the kitchen!  See him on the right?

At the end of his life he couldn't hear or see much, but he could still smell.  He always knew when something was cooking in the kitchen and he knew if he hung around long enough he'd get a taste.  Scrambled eggs were his favorite!

Goodbye, Kirby.  You were a great dog and friend.  You will be missed!

trick-or-treat!

We love Halloween at our house!  The kids couldn't wait until tonight so they could break out the costumes!

We stopped at a few places around town, like Memaw's house, to get some special treats!  Next we headed over to Granna and Papa D's house for dinner and to meet Ben, Lori and the boys for a trick-or-treating hayride.  

Ben set up bales of hay on dad's trailer and pulled us all over the neighborhood.  It was fantastic!  It got pretty chilly toward the end of the night, but overall we had nice weather and the kids had a ball!

They were so tired they all fell asleep on the way home!  Happy Halloween!  

happy halloween!

Hope everyone has a super Halloween.  These two are ready!

Yay!

basketball!

We signed Harrison up to play Upward basketball this winter.  In order to get some practice in before game time we got a new basketball goal.  Anna Grace, Sarah and Harrison took some shots this weekend!

harrison's halloween party

Harrison is the last of the kids who still gets to have a Halloween party at school.  Boo!  The girls would all LOVE parties, but apparently they need to be learning while they are at school.  :0( Anyway,  I am going to soak up the last 3 years of Halloween parties with my boy!

Me and my boy with this Cheetos mouth!

 Here's the carpet where the kids sit during class.  Harrison sits on the F is for frog square!

A party with 24 kindergarteners is pretty wild, but we had lots of fun!
