Fulmer's Last Game

Colton & Mommy braved the rain & cold & went to the TN-Kentucky game on Saturday. At halftime, we went over to sit with Julie, Aaron, Bill & Will.

It was Phillip Fulmer's last game as UT's head coach. It's a little bittersweet to me - Fulmer has been the coach since I was going to games as a UT undergrad. I was in Graduate School 1998-1999 during the Perfect Season - I went to the SEC Championship & National Championship games. But I know all good things must come to an end. Hopefully Lane Kiffin will bring the TN Vols back to where they should be.

Our new coach will be Lane Kiffin. After hearing him speak, I'm beginning to see why he was hired. Hopefully he will do a good job continuing the strong traditions of University of Tennessee football. Here is the link to the press conference yesterday announcing Kiffin as the new coach.

Fantasy of Trees

Today was our annual Friday after Thanksgiving trip to the Fantasy of Trees. Daddy had to work today, but we had a great time with Aunt Lulie, Uncle Aaron, Uncle Richard, Uncle Bill, Aunt Jamie, Will & Alex.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving with lots of family. The food was delicious - we have lots of good cooks! It was such a nice day that we were able to head outside for some football & frisbee after eating. I am so thankful for my family - I don't know what I would do without them!

Thanksgiving Wishes

Colton had a Thanksgiving Feast at school on Tuesday. Some of the kids dressed up as pilgrims & indians. They had lots of great food!

Kenleigh learned a new Thanksgiving song at school that she would like to share with you!

The tooth fairy visits

Colton FINALLY lost his first tooth last night! He was SO excited. He is one of the last of his friends to lose a tooth. It was so loose that Daddy didn't really have to pull too hard. He hit the jackpot with the tooth fairy - a new book, movie & $4.00. We told him the tooth fairy only brings that much stuff when it is your first tooth.

Halloween 2008

We had a great Halloween night! Mommy took the kids to Aunt Lulie's to meet Aunt Jamie's gang. We visited a couple of houses on her street. Then, we headed home & walked around our neighborhood with the "neighborhood gang". After a quick bite of dinner, we headed out to visit some family friends that we see every year. They were so excited - our kids are their only trick-or-treaters! When then visited Brent & Paula & ended up at Papaw & Kay Kay's. The kids had a good time - both fell asleep on the way home!
