Pretty things
Here is two of my favorite things. Of course this would be, I love snowmen. If they hand't been so expensive I would have bought these for my collection. My husband tells me I don't need anymore since I have so many already. But they sure was pretty.
Pretty faces
On the Wednesday before Thankgiving we went to Knoxville to the Fantasy Of Trees. They have beautiful trees and all kinds of Christmas stuff. They had more than 350 designer decorated trees and other seasonal items.If you have never been this is one trip I highly recommend. They have a lot of things for kids to do. My bunch enjoyed having faces painted. As you can see Ella Kate is proud of her Christmas tree. Addie and Ava had snowmen. They were so excited to do this. They had rides for the kids as well as all kinds of games for them to do. They also have an indoor Christams parade. This is really something to see. They have beautiful decorated gingerbread houses you can buy. We didn't buy one but the girls wanted to. It is just something to see. This is the 2nd year we have been and both times I was amased at how this comes together.

A little scared
Ella Kate decided it was time to ride on the tractor after Ava decided she was going to ride. She is not really sure this is what she wants to do. But after a while she didn't want to get off. It takes her a while to get use to something new. She will try anything that she wants to do but if you want her to do something she usually don't want to.. She loves to be outside .
Pa giving driving lessons
Ava and Ella Kate taking time out to have some serious tractor time. This is the first time they have been on the tractor. Ava loved it and as you can see Ella Kate is not sure about this. Took her a minute to do this.
Play time
A couple weeks ago the girls spent the week-end with us . We went down to the lake and they enjoyed throwing rocks in the water. They had so much fun. They always want to go to the lake My happiness is seeing them so happy and healthy. I feel like such a lucky person to have my grandkids in my life.

Final Walk
In life we live and there comes a time when we are called home to be with the Lord. So on October 26 Jerry's dad Herbert Sells passed away. He was 95 years old. He was a great Father, Father-in-law, Papa,a Great Papa and also a brother. He had many many friends in life and everywhere he went he always enjoyed talking to them. He always had something to talk about. My son-in-laws always enjoyed sitting down and listening to him tell them things. He always loved life and loved his family. He was a good christen man.For the last couple of years his health had gradually gotten worse and the Lord decided his time on earth was over and he called him home. In life he had seen so many different changes take place. He lived through them and lived a long life. In life he loved his family his home and his farm, but his one love was raising horses. He raised 99 colts and he wanted that 100th but it just wasn't to be. Because of this love his Grandson Josh payed his Papa the greatest tribute he could think of, he had his Papa's body carried to the final destination in a wagon that Herbert had built himself and pulled by a beautiful pair of horses. If Herbert could have told you he would have said this would have been the way he wanted his final ride to be and he would have been so happy. Josh we all love you for thinking of this and paying this tribute to him. He will be missed so much by his family, but we know he is home now with the Lord.
computer time
Gracyn having fun on the computer. Wonder if this is what she wants to do all the time. Maybe she can do more than I can on one.

Florida
We finally arrived in Destin Flordia, tired and hungry. The girls did so good on such a long trip. They just couldn't wait to get there. Ella Kate asked about a million times how much longer. We went to Hamburger Paradise to eat and it was very very good. The girls were so excited to be here. They couldn't wait to get on the beach and play in the sand and the water. We had such a good time all week. We stayed on the beach a lot and the girls enjoyed every minute of it. I enjoyed being with my precious girls all week. They took turns sleeping with me. I think Ava slept with me every night but one. They are so sweet when they wake up in the mornings. The week went by to fast . Seemed like we just got there and it was time to come back home. On Friday it turned cold and we didn't get to be on the beach much and on Sat. when we left it was really cool. Sure did hate to come back home and go back to school. But maybe next year we can go again. The girls are already wanting to go back to the beach house. This is what Ella Kate named the condo we stayed at. Last year when we went , she also named that condo The Beach House.Wish Gracyn could have been with us. She had already been in July. Thanks John and Stacy for taking me with you and the girls. Enjoyed every minute of it. Love you.
play time.
After playing in the sand all day, we think it is time to play on the bed.. We sure did enjoy our time doing lots of fun things. Look how happy these 3 little girls are.
Time to rest.
Ella kate having to take a break and have something to drink. All that building sure made her tired. Look how happy she is.
What to do next.
Just wondering what should I get into next. Should I throw this sand or build something with it.
Time on the Beach
On Friday it actually turned cold. It was to cold to do much sand playing. Just had time for a few pics.
