The Great Smoky Mountains

This is amazing!!!

Well Randy decided to get up when the alarm clock mistakenly went off and take pictures of the sunrise here in The Smokey Mountains. The weather is great and the Fall leaves are starting to change colors. We have lots planned, but Sarah Katherine may not allow us to follow a schedule because she has her own in mind. She loves horses, so we plan to see some horses and take her to see some wildlife because she also loves deer.

We Needed A Break

We're now Sevierville Tennessee taking a little vacation from it all. We all need a break every now and then and we take advantage when we get the opportunity. We'll be staying until Thursday at the Oak Haven Resort in Sevierville which is a log cabin resort on a mountain. We've rented a 2 bedroom 2 bath cabin, but they gave us a 3 bedroom 3 bath with a gameroom. It's nice to have the room, but it's more than we really needed. If you get the chance to come up here, the website is www.oakhavenrosort.com.

The Deep South Doggie Dash

4th Annual Deep South Doggie Dash and Strut Your Mutt

Saturday the Humane Society held the 4th Annual Deep South Doggie Dash and Strut Your Mutt fundraiser. This is a way that the humane society helps raise money. This is such a fun event because it give people and opportunity to come out and do something with their dogs. We have events for both children and adults. We had a lot of fun this year and all the money raised goes to a good cause to help area animals.

Cape Merrill's Birthday Party

Sarah Katherine's First Tea Party

Sarah Katherine had her very first Tea Party this weekend. It was in honor of Cape Merrill's 3rd birthday. Cape is in Sarah Katherine's class at Mother's Day Out. The theme of the party was sooo cute. It was a Little Mamas Day Out. The girls dressed up their babies in their pretty clothes a they dressed up like mama's. They got to have a Tea Party with real china and glasses. Cape's Mama, Hannah had even fixed cupcakes and pink lemonade. They all seemed to have a great time. They played a little game of "How Well Do You Know Your Baby." The girls were blindfolded and had to feel each of the babies to see which one was theirs. It was so cute.. I think only one was able to do it with out peaking. Cape and her sister Bay have a trampoline and they all got to jump. They also got to go into the chicken coup and try and catch a chicken. The Walt and Hannah Merrill sure know how to fix up a house. We all had a great time watching the girls.


Sarah Katherine had a ball at the party. One way we could tell she had a good time because she was covered in dirt from her head to her toes.
