Mamaw & Melissa

Last weekend, Mamaw and Melissa came to Hot Springs to visit Cole. We hate that we live so far away from them and don't get to see them very often.

Sweet Potatoes

Cole agrees with his uncle Roy. He thinks sweet potatoes are as good as dessert:)!

Pictures with Mika Beth...

Here are some pictures from Cole's photo shoot with Mika Beth Edwards.

Mika Beth, thank you SO much! You did a great job!!!

Weekend in the Woods

Cole and I loaded up and headed to Artex on Sunday. We had told Patrick we may come, but he didn't think we really would, so he was really excited to see us! It was a BEAUTIFUL day!!!


The road in was so pretty with all the leaves changing colors. I don't have a good camera, so these pictures don't do it justice, but you can get the idea:)...

The view from Lookout Point...

Jim makes these wooden signs for all the different landmarks around the property. Here are Patrick and Cole at "Cole Circle". The #'s have something to do with their tree farming. I may be wrong, but I think it means in March 1983 they planted 16 acres of pine trees. You can tell behind them, they have been logging.

Halloween Party at the Carter's

Friday night we went to the Carter's to help Liza hand out candy. I got some really cute pics of the kiddos together! I can't believe we got all 4 of them to sit still long enough for a photo shoot!
