Happy Halloween!













We had a really fun Halloween this year...went to the punkin patch with Deb and the boys...Zach kept his patriotic theme by being a boy version of the Statue of Liberty(look closely and you'll see his punkin is a flag!...Patrick's says "BOO!")...and Scott and I won an costume contest for Cinderella and Prince Charming!

THE vacation!

This was the most wonderful, amazing vacation I've EVER had!!






Awww...now aint THEY sweet! Just cute as buttons! :)



This was worth the 12 hours drive~but should be repeated more than every 17 years!



Looking at NY on the ferry ride to Kims!



awww...meeting Miss Ivy! She's just a tiny little princess!



WOW!



See Deb, you were here in spirit! (heehee)



how fun!



not too sure about the cold stuff!



...but sure did love the movie!



Wine tasting with Unka Bud...Cheers!



I don't know what you mean, I look pissed off when I work! :)



Isn't it long and luxurious now!



Bathtime!



cheese!



AMAZING sunset...



What kind of influence is this my Royal-Pea-in-the-pod Godmommy has on me?!?!



too late to turn back now!



At least she didn't sit around doing nothing...Mad Pup put her to work catching flies!



um...I'm not sure what's going on here...but Deb wondered if that was Champy in the background! haha



Ahoy Mate!



Back down the hatch I go!



Do you see what I see in this picture...(no, not champy)...



And so what if my backseat is FULL of shopping bags! I was on vacation! And it wasn't MY fault my Royal Godmommy MADE me go to the Christmas Tree Shop TWO times ... in ONE night! :)



oops...this is AFTER my bumper was 'fixed' and reattached ! ...coulda been worse and no on got hurt. And most important, I didn't have to unload all those damn bags into another car! haha



Perfect way to 'end' a perfect vacation...a glass of Vermont wine! :)

Going back in time...20 years!

The boys and I went home this weekend for my 20th high school reunion!



Stopped at this overlook of Saltville...



EVERY time we go to Backbone Rock, SOMEbody's gotta pee!



LOVE IT!



Went on a little hike...some chose to climb "over"...



...barely!...



Always gotta go crawdad fishin'!



This was our home away from home!



pool included!



Went on a carriage ride thru town...



found out my old beauty school has closed! Every time I see this picture, I hear that song...Beauty School Dropout!...haha




yep...it really is a "good place to live"...

I WANT YOU!

...nuff said!...

What goes on, must come off...PU!

By the end of the 3rd, stinkin' week, we needed a little help! ...Duct tape isn't only for guys! Cool moms can use it too! ha!



Patrick wasn't too sure what to think about this 'saw'...



She must be used to the smell...I couldn't stand NEAR him!



...hold please...I think I'm gonna throw up now!



Yep, Patrick wanted to keep the cast. I told him he could ... but that meant it would be kept at Daddy's and we had to ride home with the windows down!!! haha

Natural Bridge

After our safari, we decided to explore Natural Bridge! ...It was really beautiful!...



Patrick had a pretty easy time being pushed around.



There has to be at least ONE picture of a little attitude in all our trips!



Well, we passed this tree trunk...



...and well everyone else signed it! So we had to too!



found some berries! YUM!



We made it all the way to the end!



BEAUTIFUL waterfall!



This was absolutely one of the best weekends I've had in a LONG time!!!!
