Last day of Cheerleading!

Kalee can't believe cheerleading is over already...and neither can I, really. Kalee had a lot of fun this year (even though you wouldn't be able to tell from the end of each cheer - see videos below!). Our poor football team didn't win one game - not that we were there to watch football, but, poor kids! We also went to Kalee's fall festival at school this weekend and then to Atlanta so Rich could strip the brick floors at Crystal and Kelly's - I'll post those pic another day, since we have the slowest internet service in the world and I have posted enough for one day!
I got the perfect pic of Kalee's great 'high' kick. She said "Momma, please don't post that on facebook...the blog - ok, but not facebook!" So, for the blog only...ha!
The girls and the coaches, after the last game...

Grammie T comes to visit...

Grammie T stopped by for a couple nights on her way back home from FL. We were planning on going to Watkinsville's fall festival, so Charley and Crystal came over to go with us. BUT, it decided to rain on Saturday...and rain and rain...so we decided to stay home. Here's a couple pics of the cute girlies!
Grammie T kept our fire going all weekend, since Rich was out of town. It was a good weekend to have a fire!
I recovered the dining room chairs - they turned out really good, I think!

Charley!!! oh, and a little yard work...

Crystal, Kelly & Charley came over this weekend to help us out, again, with some landscaping. We needed to get the dirt back up to the top of the hill, since all the rain had washed it down... Anyway, I had fun playing with Charley while everyone else worked!


Charley is going to come stay the weekend with us on October 23rd and we are SO excited! Kalee and Charley had a lot of fun together, so the weekend should be a blast (we just have to teach Kalee to be a little gentler!) Oh well...it's good experience, right?!

Uncle Rich was playing a game with Charley...or so he thought! He kept banging his head on the table and Charley would copy him...only she wouldn't bang her head...she just kind of dipped it a little! Smart Charley!
After a day of landscaping and playing, Kalee and I went to a Corn Maze and pumpkin patch with my mom, Chase and my sister-in-law, Rebecca (they were up, along w/ my brother for the weekend). Anthony spent the weekend bow-hunting - to no avail - and the rest of us got time to hang out. To enter the maze you have to slide down the slide - quite interesting, to say the least!
Even Nana rode down the slide...
Kalee rode down about 10 times, of course!
Chase was trying to pull the corn off the stalk.
Rebecca, finding the right route that went under the bridge. The rest of us were standing on top on the bridge...
Supporting the home team, in my Georgia shirt...(hey, the Gators weren't playing Saturday...and sadly, GA lost! :)
The corn went on and on and on...At the pumpkin patch...
Chase kept picking out pumpkins that weighed almost as much as him! On that note, the kids weighed themselves this weekend...Chase weighed 47 lbs and Kalee weighed 79 lbs...yep, only 2 months difference but you could never tell!!!
The kids w/ Nana and our pumpkins! It's great that pumpkins last forever up here and don't rot out in a week!
