Backyard Bums!

We enjoyed a weekend at home! Max came for a weekend visit while Maw-Maw went out of town, the kids always love his visits! We had a great time Saturday grilling out and watching Clemson lose with the Fulmer family! And Sunday was just as lazy! Hannah and Brunson enjoyed having Savannah and Hayden come over for some afternoon playtime! This was a perfect weekend, we all got caught up on our sleep and really spent quality time with each other! Now we are rested and ready for Thanksgiving week!!!


This last picture is just too funny. The kids found this fallen branch and stuck it in the ground. They decorated it and said this was to be our Christmas tree!

School Business!

Just a little update on the happenings at Hannah school! She won the Enthusiastic Eaglet Award for her outstanding behavior and academic success! We received Hannah's first nine week report card and it was EXCELLENT! She had school pictures taken, but they turned out NOT so good. It is a good thing I love photography, I will be getting out the backdrops and taking some fabulous pictures! This week at school is Patriotism Week and in honor of Veterans Day we are having a Patriots on Parade. We, as a family, made a poster for the parade! Our family believes in our country and we support our troops and our President! Thanks to all the Veterans and active soldiers, especially our family hero - Scott Bowers! We appreciate you fighting for our freedom!

Welcome Baby Hank!

What a blessed day. A day to remember and a day of rejoicing. Henry James Daniels was born at 12:41 p.m. weighing 9 lbs 11 oz. 20 3/4in. long. Hank, Mommy, Daddy and big brother Patrick are all doing well. Hank is just perfect, he is opening his eyes and turning his head to sounds as of 4 hours old. Patrick is so proud of his little brother and enjoyed holding and protecting him. Mommy is recovering very well, the delivery went just as planned. Daddy is beaming with pride and enjoying his baby bliss. All grandparents are so excited about the safe, perfect delivery of their new Grandson. Hannah, Brunson and Chris can't wait to visit Baby Hank real soon!

Oysters anyone?

We enjoyed another fun weekend in Camden...Yes, it seems to be our second home lately! We had a great oyster roast Friday night at Maw-Maw's! Uncle Benny, Kyleigh, Bubba and Trey joined us for LOTS of oysters! Chris brought 2 bushels this time! Hannah loves oysters, Maw-maw opened the oysters all night for her! Brunson isn't a oyster fan, so Maw-maw had spaghetti too! I think the roasted marsh mellows were his favorite! Kyleigh had a great time with Brunson eating the mellows! Good luck to Greg, Jen-jen, and Patrick tomorrow with welcoming baby Hank!

Hannah Montana and Spiderman!

Halloween was so fun at the Stone house! Maw-Maw, Max, Aunt Cathy, Jenny, Jamie, Hailey and Alex joined us for all the Spookie fun! Jamie brought the 4-wheeler and trailer for the hay ride! We all had a great time trick or treating, eating and just being together! Brunson got a little, well a lot scared (he begged to go? at the Haunted house. And I don't blame him...a monster ran after him with a chain saw! But then Jamie let him drive the 4-wheeler and all was well again. EXCEPT for bedtime, we decided to finally let him sleep in Hannah's room!

FUN AFTERNOON!!!

The kids are so excited about Halloween! Hailey and Alex came over and we finished planning our Annual Halloween Bash! All the little ones had so much fun trying on all the wigs and masks! And us adults are having a blast too, especially Jenny in the clown wig!

What A Game!

Hannah had another great game! Or I should say Hannah and Chris had a great game. Coach Chris did a great job with the girls. They won 13-1! I think Hannah's success had a lot to do with fans! Maw-Maw surprised us all and came down to watch Hannah's game! Hannah really wanted to impress her and she did. We all had a great time, we are looking forward to the last game on Thursday!

Party Time!

We did it! Maw-Maw's surprise birthday party went down without any problems! And can you believe she knew NOTHING about it! She was totally surprised!! I have never been so happy for my Mama! It was so rewarding to see her happiness when she spotted another friend or family member who had come in her honor. We had lots of great food - barbecue, baked beans, potato salad, slaw, taco salad and more. Thank goodness for our close family, I appreciate all the help! Lord knows I needed all the help I could get. A special thanks to Aunt Cathy, Aunt Debbie, Jenny and Kyleigh for helping with food - Uncle Benny, Auntie Anne and Bubba for the barn!!! And to my Mama... I do love you with all my heart! You have taught me so much in life and I am so proud of you. What a strong woman you are... After losing Daddy, you have been amazing. I just don't know if I could ever be as brave as you. And now to have you as a cancer survivor is so prideful to me. Your faith, love, compassion, and bravery gives me strength and courage to reach out for all my dreams. I love you Mama and happy birthday!

Hannah wins the game ball!!!

We are SO proud of Hannah tonight! Hannah's softball team won 16-2 and she won the game ball. She had four times at bat and got four "great" hits and scored each time! She really impressed us tonight with her aggressive, competitive drive to play the game!

The Fair Is In Town!

We enjoyed a great day at the fair! Hannah got a little early dismissal and we headed to the fair about one o'clock and stayed til about seven. The kids had so much fun going through all the activity buildings, they loved the yummy treats, but most of all they had a blast on the rides. It was a great day spending time with the family!

We have created a Monster!

Brunson is super excited about Halloween! We started pulling down some decorations out of the attic and he is having such fun rummaging through them all. He has touched each item in the box at least 10 times a piece, trying on all the old costumes and decorating everything. Last night was so funny - Chris put the football head on and a sheet around his body and scared Lilly (the puppy). It took me ten minutes to talk her out from under the bed. Chris is the biggest kid of all!

Happy Happy Birthday Hannah!!!

We had a great time celebrating Hannah's 7th birthday! Wow, she is really seven! It still seems like yesterday when she was just a baby. It amazes me what a blessing she has always been to everyone. Hannah's purpose and path in life has been one of nurturing. She has an ability and gift to show and express love and care to everyone. We are so proud and we love her to no end!

Softball is Back!

Hannah enjoyed her first ballgame of the fall season. Her team won 13-1!!! Hannah has so much fun with her friends! She also loves having her Daddy as the coach.
