Totten Pumpkin Farm October 2011

Kale coming out of the hay tunnel.

Jason, Chelsey and Rhett.

Trying to get a group photo and have them all looking is almost impossible. Only thing missing was Chase.

Chelsey feeding acorns to the deer. Justin was holding Lane at the fence while Rhett looked on.

Me and my baby girl.

So tonight the Pollard's made trip to Totten's Pumpkin Farm and the kids got the go thru the hay tunnel, feed acorns to the deer and pick out their pumpkins to take home. It was a beautiful night to be out. Afterwards, we came back to my folks and had dinner.

Saturday night fun with my BFF

Saturday night out with my bff Jennifer............we usually take these photos standing up, but since she's sooo much taller than I am, I decided this time we'd sit !! Even on my butt she's taller !!!

Good times !!

1st Day of School August 2011

Chelsey started 8th grade this year. Last year of middle school.

Chase is a Junior this year.......one more year, where has the time gone.

I was lucky to even get a photo of the kids this year on the first day of school since I was not there in the morning to take it. I did, however, tell them they had to humor me when I got home after work that night and let me take one.

Kids on their Gaines Family North Carolina Vacation

Really loving each other lol...........

At the pool at their condo the first night.

Chase holding up #1 at kayaking.

Chase and Chelsey left Friday with their dad for the outer banks in North Carolina for a family vacation with the Gaines family. The kids got to fly for the first time. Chelsey says she loves Shelbina but she never wants to leave the beach and ocean and Chase told me he's getting real dark. So far I know they have went kayaking, fishing, crabbing which resulted in cleaning and eating them and riding dune buggys on the beach. Here are just a few random photos they have sent me via their phones.

Chase's Car

After much looking, we finally bought a Chase a car last week. It's a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. It was pretty hard for him, because it set in the driveway from Tuesday afternoon until Saturday before he could drive it waiting to get it inspected and licensed. He started in Saturday morning at 7 am calling me to see if it would be ready to drive that day, and low and behold, mamma got it inspected and licensed !

Happy 16th Birthday Chase !

Chase turned 16th last Monday, March 14th. We celebrated by taking him out to dinner. He likes cheesecake so in lieu of a birthday cake, he had a birthday cheesecake. He took his drivers test the next day and I havn't seen him since, lol..............Last night he was headed over to a friends house and asked if he could have the keys to my car. Whoa, was that different..........and, getting into my car this morning definitely reminded me that I have my boy driving my car as the seat was way back and the radio blarring a station that I definitely would not have on :) Gotta love teenagers !!
